Waiting for GPS - Updating map app

Hello, I have a E71 and when I launch ovi maps and try to use it, it gives me the message: Waiting for GPS
Sporadically it finds enough satilites to calculate the position but most of the time it gives me that error message for hours.
Second thing is that I tried to update the ovi map app on my phone but I can't figure out how to do that. I have now version 3.03 and I tried to update using http://store.ovi.com/, but it gives me a message that it can't be updated using the site. I also tried the Nokia Suite for that but I can't find the app in the suite software.
Moderator's note: The post was moved to the most appropriate board so others can easily search for the same topic.

Today, navigation worked for about 20 minutes well! It worked fine, was able to find enough satelites and I was able to navigate and I was happy..., but then the fun ended and now it gives me the waiting for gps message again and the app can't find more than one satelite to determine position! By the way, I didn't changed any settings from the moment it worked.
- About the version of the ovi map software, I googled a little and found pages talking about v3.04 and v3.06, for example here!
- And than about Google Maps, can you maybe tell me how to install it? I searched in the Nokia Suite but I couldn't find it but maybe I do something wrong!

@farby
OP stated already tried third party GPS application!
@jabba129
No doubt that you have tried enabling "Assisted GPS" only and waiting 20 - 30 minutes outside?
I would check in Menu > Settings > Conectivity > Settings > Mobile data - is it = On?
For a small number of users taking device to Nokia Care Point so that device can be re-furbished to return device to "Out of box" state with Nokia Belle software may be only solution, as then automatically sets up network setting for Assisted GPS to reach positional server = supl.nokia.com

Nokia E6 Searching for position / Waiting for GPS ...

I have a new nokia E6-00 with Symbian Anna (1 month old). I am very frustrated with the in-built GPS (Ovi Maps). It is working fine when it is connected to a Wi-Fi network, but when in OFFLINE mode it can not locate any satellites. It keeps displaying "searching for position" and "waiting for GPS". What should I do?
Note: I have only checked Assisted GPS and Integrated GPS as positioning methods because I do NOT want any internet traffic caused by Ovi Maps.

Hello there,
I am writing because I am also having similar GPS difficulty with my E6-00.
Here are the proper problem description and some background info:
- for the past year, I had been using the C6-00. Its then Ovi Map was awesome, worked great in Asia, US, EU.
- and before that, I also had the E71 for 2yrs. Again, Ovi Map served well.
- Both phones only required their built-in GPS to navigate either walking or driving (with "offline" and "mobile data off")
Now the problem with E6:
- When "offline" or "mobile data" is off, the GPS simply wont function AT ALL. Like OP said, it gets disconnected soon afterwards. My question is, this is intended for E6? In comparison, the result in E6 seemed like a huge flaw.
- Navigation / Positioning also seem "messed up". I am in Taiwan, Map version v0.2.43.11. I did a test: I launched both Nokia Map and Google Map on E6. Google map was accurate, showing exactly where I am, but Nokia Map was offset for 500 meters!! This made navigation IMPOSSIBLE!
Map versions:
- C6: 0.2.46.103
- E6: 0.2.43.11 (cannot be further updated)
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Waiting for gps

My nokia N8 Ovi maps neither shows my position or drive navigation..keeps waiting for GPS but never connects.
when connected to the WLAN it shows my position but around 1 km far off. i recently upgraded my old ovi maps by version 3.06. the old version 3.04 was fine with no problems.
tried nearly all the solutions available over here. CAN NY ONE HELP ???

@victor_n8
Welcome to the forum!
During update process it says that the 00.01.25.114 mapping for v3.04 will be deleted and new mapping 00.02.42.122 for v3.06 will need to be downloaded.
Try going to Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning > Positioning methods - temporarily disable all except "Integrated GPS" then go outside away from tall buildings for 20 - 30 minutes required for very first positional lock to be acquired.

X6 freezes on Waiting for GPS

HI I have a Nokia X6, and the maps and voice navigation used to work really well, but for the last few weeks, when I try to use it, it freezes on the Waiting for GPS screen and never actually connects. Have had the phone for nearly 2 years but never had this problem before, altho I don't use the GPS function much. I believe I have updated all recent software, I did it this morning thru my computer using Nokia software updater. Any ideas?

Hey mssndependant, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
Have you made sure that
-A-GPS is activated
-That you are able to receive packet data
-You have not maxed out your data plan allowance with your service provider?
If you have checked all of these and they are all fine, it might be a hardware issue and you will need to take the device to your local Nokia Care point to get your device inspected by a technical expert.
I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any further queries!

Should i buy the latest ipod touch 4G 2011 ,or wait for an update on it's hardware ?

Should i buy the latest ipod touch 4G 2011 ,or wait for an update on it's hardware ?
Do you think guys that it will take about a year for it's future update ? Please help me decide .

Only Apple knows what they will be doing and they have not told outsiders yet. Maybe new harware in about a year but maybe earlier or later. If you wnat the4G purchase it.

One of my apps is "waiting" for an update. Its been "waiting" for 4 days. It wont delete (so I can re load it). Sadly its not in i tunes as I put it on after the last sync and it wont for some reason sync either. Any ideas?

One of my apps (actually on my daughters i phone 5) has been "waiting for 4 days to update. Rebooting doesnt cure it nor does trying to delete it - it wont delete. I have looked at her i tunes account but she hasnt sync that for ages and the actual app isnt in i tunes but just on the phone. For some reason the syncing isnt working either in realtion to this app. There is adeqaute memory - good strong wifi signal. Any ideas??

Download the app on iTunes under her account (you've already paid - you won't have to again), then sync the app across to the phone that way and it should clear it up.
It's possible the app is too large to do over the air and it started on wifi but wasn't able to continue and got corrupted.

How to update maps app

My built in apple maps app doesnt work properly, for example it doesnt track my current location as I move and it doesnt give voice directions. I have iphone 4. I dont see any way to delete or update this software. Is this updateable or am I forced to use other map apps?

It works great on my wife's 4S, but not on mine, which is pre-S. I thought it might be software upgradeable, but I guess that is not the case. I love GPS Drive, but always want a backup. Thanks much, very helpful.

Is there a way for the Yosemite maps app to add address to an existing contact (in contacts app) instead of creating new contact record with blank name (not useful)?

I was using the maps app in yosemite to look up an address, once I was able to verify the address, I wanted to add that address to an existing contact record in the contacts app. When I clicked on the option to add address to contacts, it unfortunately creates a new record with the address in it, however, the rest of the contact is blank.
My question is: is there a way to prompt the user (me), to select whether they want to create a new contact or add it to an existing contact?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Peter

HT5362 How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates? 'App Store' doesn't show in the list of notification apps. I want the background checks for updates, just not the notifications.

How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates?
In the 'Notifications' section of the 'System Preferences' app, there is no tab for managing the notifications of System Updates nor App Store.
Hey--- I like auto-checking for updates, and hey--- I like auto-downloading them in the background.
BUT I do not like being notified of updates in the middle of working! Especially when it's iTunes updates. Grrrr.
Any chance this is easy and I just missed it?
THANKS COMMUNITY!

Settings > Notification Center > Mail > Select the mail account (if more than one) > Alert Sound > None

Required to enter apple id password for every update in app store

I just updated my macbook pro to Mavericks. After the install and reboot, I went to install updates and it is requiring me to enter my apple id and password for every update. This behavior is new. Why is App Store.app reading the password from my keychain?

Oops. Why is it not reading from the keychain.

Exchange mode- mail wait for minutes before the app sends out mails

Guys I have a company email address when I was going with POP everything was perfect.
But IT guys forced me to go with exchange I thought it should be ok too, but I can bear anything else only thing which is very difficult to understand.
When I send out an email, no matter is it big or just few letters, the mail app will put it there and wait for so long, then it will start to send it out.
I don't know what is the reason, why it is designed like this??? Any thing that I need to configure even I have done checking everything I can find.
Thank you!

Even it is by imap of gmail???
