Problem with GPS in Nokia 5800

I'm in Nokia Maps, I click in "my position" and it shows me the red dot in south of Portugal (Algarve). Well, that would be cool if I were there, but I'm not! I'm in the north (Braga). I want to connect via sattelite and not via internet, cause I want to use it when I'm driving. Can somebody help me?

Hi gui94
If you won't give the Assisted GPS feature a network internet connection albeit to download 7 kb of data then your first fix is going to take longer to achieve and would suggest you go outside away from tall buildings preferably with clear view of sky.
The position achieved using the Network GPS (cell tower location) can sometimes be well off the mark unfortunately but not usually by that much and then you will get a "Black ring" around the centre when locked on to position at which time you will see next to satellite icon green bars instead of yellow.

  • Problem with GPS on Nokia 5800

    Some days back i had big problem in getting GPS work to get my current location. I followed some intsturctions provided by one of the forum members and it seems to have worked.
    Now the problem is, even when i am in the open area where satellite status  shows more than 5 available, i am unable to get a lock on my current position. Instead i get "GPS works poorly on indoors..." message. My mobile is still under warranty. Should i need to go and check with Nokia Care center? or is this could a confiugration problem?
    i have Assisted, Network and integrated enabled and have GPRS enabled.
    Any help would be realy apprecieated
    Not to mention, i am on 4x firmware with latest Maps software and also have downloaded India Maps using maps downloader
    Cheers

    Hi KarthikK
    This message sounds as if device can't communicate with the "Positioning server" so I would check that it is "supl.nokia.com" and confirm in Destinations > Internet that your desired network access point is prioritized.
    Latest Nokia Maps v3.04Beta also utilizes an additional positioning method, Wi-fi/Network to speed up positional fix especially indoors as per screenshot:http://i43.tinypic.com/2mrcq68.jpg

  • N97 Problem With GPS Singnal

    Hi evry one
    my problem with GPS signal when i open my OVI Maps there is no signal from sat
    and i can't use the nav or maps pls if any one have any answer plz replay this topic
    thnx.

    Do you have the local Map data installed on your handset ? Having the data pre-installed on the handset does allow navigation without a data connection, but when only using gps, it can take a while for the initial 'lock' to the satelites (up to 20 minute with a clear view) then after the initial lock it should locate uoi more quickley. The whole system works better with assisted gps and uses very little data, but if you have the latest verion of maps with the pre-installed map data it should work offline !

  • Issues with updating my NOKIA 5800 XM

    Hi all,
    I don't know, whether this topic has been already covered, but I haven't found anything suitable for me. Here's the problem. I have a NOKIA 5800 XM and I want to update its' firmware to v30.0.011. However the standard procedure to update it using my phone did not succeed - while checking for the new update, an error appears, saying "Connection error" (i am using OMNITEL Lithuania). However, the last time I was updating my Nokia, everything was ok doing it this way. The other point is, I have a MAC, and when i tried to update using Nokia Software update using my friend's PC, i did not succeed - there were errors as well. So, can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks in advance 

    I have a similar problem. My 5800's clock is very slow. It falls behind by maybe up to 3 hours per day. I have to continually correct the time all day. Today I was correcting the time when the phone gave me an error message and I lost all of my videos and photos. Luckily my contacts and messages were not lost. I was hoping a Firmware update would solve the bugs with this very frustrating phone. No luck. I installed the Nokia PC Suite and the Updater doesn't work. I always get an error message and whatever Internet Explorer wants to open fails. I then loaded Nokia Software Updater and continually get a disconnection error message. I've been trying all afternoon. This website is very slow and frustrating as well. After having been a Nokia user for many, many, many years. I can't help but be unbelievably disappointed with my new phone. If anyone can help with the Firmware Update issue. It would be much appreciated. Thanks.

  • Problem in s60 5th nokia 5800

    i recently updated my old nokia 5800 to version 60.all was good but every time i play video on it lags a lot for 2min i request u to see the prob.
    Regards
    simrat

    You can not roll back the Firmware. BTW I am not experiencing any such issue with my Nokia 5800xm after the update. Its a good practice to Soft Reset your phone after a Firmware update. ..but bear in mind that the Reset will erase all data from the phone memory. So back-up data first.. After the Reset Restore the data.. You may need to re-install some of the applications too.. It will require a good amount oof time and effort, but is definitely worth it..

  • Problem with sending sms - nokia x3

    Hello,
    I've got a problem with sending sms in my nokia x3 - actually with recently used number. I sent messages, but the list is the same. There is only one number although I used many more. I removed this number from the list, but is still here. I also tried to turn off the phone and pull out the battery, restart factory setting but there's no change.
    Could somebody help me, please?
    p.s. Sorry, but my english isn't well. I hope the post is understood

    Check if there is any relation with the LOG... When you clear the log.. (selecting ALL).. is it removing details from the RECENTLY USED too...
    To confirm this select Clear Log.. and check if that one no. you are talking about still remains or not.. If its no more there means you must have cleared the log just before using the last no. that is appearing..

  • Serious problems with GPS on BB Leap with OS 10.3.1

    hii have 3 problems with my BB Leap; for 1 of it i write here to find a solution.when i enter on BB Maps (installed by default) with Location and Wi-Fi activated, my location always show that i am somewhere in Basel (Switzerland), even if i live in other European country. I searched the settings, and i do not find anywhere any presetted location. Isn't it very strange that the GPS is not able to find my REAL location? Please let me know what can i do to be rightful spotted.  the other secondary problems I hope will be solved with upgrades:1. the keyboard sound can not be totally reduced, even if the sound setting is at minimum.2. the camera sound has no setting to kill the noise when shooting.  thank you. 

    when i will check Location under the clear sky i will post here the experience. i am situated in romania, and there are big problems with the recognition of the streets.[meanwhile i think later to install the Google Maps after installing "cobald" ''s files or Snap; i still have to check if trustable]. concerning the sound of the typing from the keys, it is my English, sorry; i've said i setted to "maximum minimum" in the way that i setted the sound line to the maximum left, that is totally minimum.[please let me know where should i address a SUGGESTION for the next UPDATE, concerning the totally noise reduction of the keytyping and of the camera; there are numerous situations when you need to be completly silent when typing and shooting; i don't know what was in the head of the programmers ].  another thing that i experience right now is the battery drain. i still have to wait a little before asking why do BB say is 25 hours, and after charging the meter say 15 hours with all the apps, wi-fi, location, etc . closed. i still have to experience the battery situation, cause i feel it goes bye too soon... 

  • What's the problem with T-Mobile nokia phones?

    I recently bought a nokia 5300 T-Mobile here in Kenya but then am experiencing problems accessing local networks that is SAFARICOM and CELTEL.I tried consulting and everyone seems to believe that the T-Mobile phones are just like that...have network problems. I understand T-mobile is south African (though not sure. Could somebody out there help me? what do I need to do to help solve the problem?

    In addition to the previous answers, the problem with the Seagate HD's involved in the recall is that they have a very high failure rate, to the extent that Apple expanded the recall to cover more computers than it initially did. For example, a user on Macintouch (another online Mac support community that is well worth checking out) reported that his company bought 40 iMacs and 25 of them needed their 1TB Seagate drives replaced.
    So if you can, get somebody with access to your computer to backup its HD as soon as possible if you don't already have a full backup.

  • Strange Problem with my E7 - Nokia

    Hi Readers,
    I have encountered a stupid problem with my E7. Last night while talking on the phone (on Low Battery), the phone suddenly turned OFF, so I thought this was due to Low Battery rather No Battery. Later last night, I came home and plugged on the charger and ever since I have been getting this Light (when the phone is on charge) which is Blinking. The whole night it was on charge, only to realize, this blinking light stops after a certain while, this morning I tried to restart my phone and it bloody doesn't turn on... so:
    1) Is there a problem with the phone/battery
    2) is the Blinking light at the charging point common
    Note: The screen is been blank till now (its been what 12 hrs approx)...
    So any suggestions please...

    Hi ksarat16,
    Sorry to hear about the issue but welcome to the forum! The light next to USB-port is meant to blink while the phone is being charged. Try the following actions to make your phone working again.
    Press the power button until the phone vibrates 3 times (approx. 10 sec). Then turn it on.
    If this does not work, then try to connect it to PC with USB-cable and open Nokia Suite. Try to power on again.
    In case you can turn it on, you can perform these actions in order prevent the phone to freeze again:
    First of all make a back up with Nokia Suite. Type in *#7780# = soft reset, no data lost.
    You can also reinstall the phone software. The process is the same as when updating with Nokia Suite, but at the end select "Reinstall".
    Type in *#7370# = hard reset, phone memory will be wiped. Restore back up.
    If the first 2 actions fail, please take the phone to your local Nokia Care point and let them inspect it.
    Hope you get your phone working again!
