E71 Maps application hangs

Hi all the Guru's

the problem with my E71 currently is that, whenevr i start the application of MAPS, it loads completely....but when it shows the globe...n its time to search for GPS, my mobile just hangs!! I have to remove the batery evertime this hapens..!! I cannot make out the problem. I have tried many things on it...

- I removed the cities folder from memory card, n opened maps application again, it was loading slow this time, but when the globe came, mobile hanged again. i had to restart. Then i checked in memory card, the cities folder was back, with a subfolder diskcache..which has numbers n alphabets in it...all empty.

- ive tried re-installing maps application also, but in vain.

- when i try to connect map loader to it...it says "waiting for device"...jus keeps flickering. i tried to conect my e71 in 'media transfer' mode, 'mass storage' mode as well as 'pc suite' mode...all in vain.


plz help....i m getting desperate for this now, i m not even able to activate my nokia maps subscrition yet..by the time i click 'options' --> 'extras' --> 'Drive and Walk' --> 'Accept'...and when i click on download...it then dusnt respond...just HANGS !!!

Thank you..

Re: E71 Maps application hangs

Hi aman_dham,

below is just my opinion as you had tried most of the methods that fellow forum members would had suggested.
1) back up your data in both E71 mass memory and PC suite(ensure it is ver 7.0.8.2)
2) update the E71 firmware again using Nokia Software Updater even if the latest version is same as your E71's.
3) goto http://europe.nokia.com/A4984199 to download Maps v2.0 for E71
4) test the Maps application again.

Hopes it work for you.........:smileyhappy:

Note: I am not sure if step2) will invalidate your Navigation subscription...... so pls check with your Nokia Service Centre in advance

Re: E71 Maps application hangs

Thanks alot for ur reply....
but the issue is that nokia software updater does not have any software updates available for e71....n does not give an option to download the current version as well...!!

Well,even I faced d same issue, did few thins n it started to work fine:

1>Restore to factory settings n see if it is fixed.

2>Else update the software using pc suite,even if d same version, reinstall d firmware(no harm,i too did)

3>Else Hard reset your fone after taking back up.

4>Else also format your memory card n hard reset the fone.

5>Remove integrated gps from

    tools>settings>general>positioning>positioning methods>uncheck integrated gps

 

All dese steps one by one in hierarchy would certainly solve your prob,do reply back.
