Re: n78 gps problem

I have exactly the same problem with my N78 internal GPS after updating firmware. Extremely slow to find satelites, drops out constantly and inaccurate. All of the settings appear the same as before the update when the GPS worked great.

 

I need this sorting asap as i use sportstracker/maps daily

Re: n78 gps problem

I took my phone to a Nokia service center. They reloaded the latest firmware and the GPS now works. One thing they did mention is the phone back cover is the gps antenna and its important the inside of the cover is clean where the contacts meet. If the software reload had not worked they said they would replace the back cover
