Re: N86 GPS problem

The update to the 21.006 firmware fixed the problem for me. Now I can get a lock in seconds even when inside.

Re: N86 GPS problem

Hello

 

I confirm this issue.

 

Firmware: 30.009

also was on previous versions.

 

One of the solution listed, is hard reset, but it is not nice.

The other solution is to allow GPS contact with servers, not nice if you are in roaming. What happens:

without connection to internet, GPS is able to see sth like 3-4 satellites. After connecting, it starts to see like 7-9 satellites and instantly gets current position.

 

Any ideas how to solve that?

I have a problem with GPS on Nokia N86:

It has a huge problem to get a connection with sattelities. It is not a Ovi Maps fault because I  have checked it with other applications. Even if it connect with sattelites, it works inaccurately and keeps breaking the conection. The software is up to date. It made a test with Nokia LD-3W via bluetooth and it works perfect. Is it possible that integrated GPS is broken? Does anybody knows the solution?

Re: N86 GPS problem

Go to Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Positioning methods - temporarily only enable "Integrated GPS" then go outside away from tall buildings for 20 -30 minutes required for device to get first positional fix.
