I have the last version of Maps installed.
But my S2 isn´t capable to locate me correctly.
The blue arrow is jumping allow my city.
An a moment mark correctly but and time later again meters of distance.
With 3G, WiFi and GPS. I tests all posibilities.
I know the s1 had the same problem.
It´s my phone bad?
The strange is, Sygic Aura works fine...
If you are indoors it can be difficult for the phone to get gps connect, try outside .

Upgraded to new boot loader and installed the gps rom rom: 3.16... and radio: 3.27. downloaded newest goog maps and windows live. location settings ON, tried gps settings listed in forums, still nothing.
I go into debug mode ##33284# (or whatever it is), and under GPS, everything is NA. Is this mean my mogul don't have a chip inside?
I launched GPS from Google maps, and it stuck in the "Seeking GPS satellites" screen. A blinking blue dot appears and puts me in the middle of the ocean in the middle of the world map. it eventually times out after like 8 minutes or so and says i dont have a clear view of the sky or whatever, and ive tried the same with windows live, same thing, doesnt find anything. i have full working evdo service and am standing in a field, no working, and tried driving around, stilll does the same thing, will not work.
Any help?

i have sprint, i tried it all, what in that forum am i missing? i followed it
did you go to the phone settings and switch from 911 only to location on?
Go stick your phone outside with Google maps running for about 30 min....Some areas take longer before they aquire a GPS signal.
My phone found GPS within about 5 min. My girlfriends took about an hour. However once it find it the first time, you should be good until you hard reset.
location settings ON for 911. still no work
jnet,
The location should be turned to on. Not 911 if it is turned to 911 only then your gps will not function

##33284# will work only when some program is pulling information from gps chip.. ie if tomtom or google maps etc are getting info from the gps chip.. other wise under gps you will see n/a
Hi everyone
I've just got my player but I can't get the device to lock on with the gps, has any one had the same problem?
Have you try doing it out door with an open sky? It will still take a while to get an initial lock. If you have a wifi connection, it will be faster because Google will use the wifi access point location in estimating your current location.
Get the program GPS test. Turn on your GPS (you do not need wifi at all). Go outside. You should get a lock in less than a minute. The program will show you the satellites it sees and when you are locked. When locked it will give the latitude and longitude coordinates and the UC time.
First time I turned on the GPS indoors the samsung "saw" 9 satellites, and locked in less than 30 seconds. The GPS is the fastest I have seen on any device. I have locked on in a moving train as well.
Ive found a fix for the problem
All is now working fine

"Ive found a fix for the problem."
Mine worked without this so-called fix. My device is running Gingerbread, and the GPS worked and I got a fix the first time I tried it.
Hi Members,
Does anybody know more about the GPS in the HTC Mozart ?
In my old Touch2 i ve got real GPS Modul, the GPS-Fix takes only 1 Minute.
Offline Navigation with Tomtom7.9 was fast and stable and precision. Thats what i need !
Then ive got an Iphone 3GS . It has only AGPS , not a real GPS Modul.
GPS Fix without WIFI or 3GS take about 30 Minutes . The free Navigation runs, but very unprcecision under Trees. Thats a Joke....
Now i have the HTC Mozart. The Telekom Select Navigon Navigation dont start without a DATA Connection via 3GS !
And i found no realy Offline Navigation Software.
Does the HTC Mozart contains a real GPS Modul or only a AGPS Chip like the IPhone ?
Im really angry obout this steps back in the stoneage.
Iv bought an Tomtom XL to navigate. Now iv got 2 Devices and a lot of Cables here in my Car .
Has anybody a better solution for WP7 ?
Nokia Drive, HTC Location... all with no data navigation
Navigon also works without data conection,
just remember to turn on your "location" under settings, then it activates the real gps modul in our mozart.
follow the steps.
the answer to your question is YES.
and follow the steps
1.turn on the gps in settings.
2.turn on the gps in your navigation software(optional if the app has a setting like this)
3.there you go. even without a data connection.
and btw i was curious, does iphone 3gs really a-gps not real gps?
gps
I have now 3 gps in my Mozart... Turn by Turn from gps tuner, which requires data connection so you can download maps on the fly but also you can download them at home via wifi, GPS Navigator from aSpass which is the same, and Nokia Drive that i havent tried yet!
Hi. I use Navigon 4.1 on my HTC Mozart. Did anyone noticed that after using the program for more than 20 mins, the phone turns very hot (i never imagined that a mobile phone can turn this hot). I used it a few times to go to a city 80km and after reaching, when i touched the phone for turning off the navigation, it was really hot. The screen stopped responding to my touch, and I had to cool it in front of the AC for a few mins before it became responsive again. (My guess: the program stresses the processor to near max capacity all the time)
I tried the same distance with nokia drive, and everything was normal. There was only slight heat production (I guess because of the screen turned on for so long), but nothing like when I have navigon on.
Does anyone else has this problem, or am I the only one?
Any reply would be helpful.
Thanks.
Case: If I download maps for my city.
Then turn off WIFI and data connection. Just Keep ON GPS.
NOW what things can I do with downloaded maps???
Q1. Can I search for places in my city? (Offline)
Q2. Can I search for directions to a destination from my Location (using GPS) without any data or WIFI.???
I mean the downloaded maps contains streets and places and landmarks also. So Can I get directions WITHOUT any data / WIFI connection??
Q3. Say I search a location and also get direction to that location in OFFLINE mode, (((((assuming answer to above 2 questions as YES)))
So can Nokia maps guide me with NAVIGATION to that location WITHOUT any data / WIFI connection??? Just by using GPS...
Yes, yes and yes. Just tested it now.

Wow, I tried searching it on YouTube, but there aren't any videos for this.
Maybe I’m just being impatient, but I’ve never managed to get a GPS fix without any sort of data connection. Can anyone confirm this is possible, if so how long did it take to get the fix?

Yes, with a data connection, you can dramatically shorten the GPS fix time. Without it, it may take many minutes from a cold start and still a minute or two from a warm start (means you had a fix before on the same location short time ago). With data connection to assit, you can get a fix as short as less than 10 seconds.
AGPS is a quick way to get a GPS lock by downloading ephemeris data.
Without a data connection the GPS chipset will manually discover the positions of the satellites which can take up to 5 minutes. The longer the time between each use of GPS the longer it takes to get a lock. So the first lock may take a few minutes but another lock on attempt on the same day may take 10 seconds.
I have used so far the GPS without Data(phone is locked no sim) in a few countries now. Mexico, USA, Canada and China. So far I had only one issue in Canada as I never had a wifi before going to car rental at airport. The GPS didn't link up for a long time. If you can hook up to wifi before leaving airport and turning Nokia Maps or navigation on to learn GPS positon may help out the time. There is sometimes a small lag in China for position but normally working ok and acuracy seems to be within reason. Funny issue though it sometime always takes me back to Mexico, like it is stuck in memory even after weeks abroad until GPS position is located.

With data - fix in seconds, even indoors - that's because the system will get an idea of where you are based on the location of the cell tower or failing that using wifi to get a location. This inaccurate location is good enough to narrow down the possible locations of two or more GPS satellites, so the system can more quickly triangulate your position on the earth.
Without data - standard "search sky for fix" cold start time for GPS - with a clear view of wide area of sky, 5 minutes to find three sats, figure out which hemisphere you are in, and then fix your position. If you are standing still. With obscured sky or you moving reasonably fast, 2-3x longer. Indoors (or in a car), forget it.

Real world - on a cruise ship in the pacific making 20 knots or so, I was not able to get a fix from the balcony of my room, ever (not enough sky) but on top with clear 360 degree view of sky it did fix after 10 minutes. When in port in Mexico (not moving) on deck, 5 minutes, or instant fix when roaming on one of the Mexican cell towers.
5 minutes? that is very long, probably has to do with the location. with deactivated data/wifi cold start gps fix takes me 10s, accurate location (<5m) after 30s (cloudy, indoor but next to a window)
Question ...
Are you satisfies with the number of locations Nokia Maps knows in your country??
In India, in my city, it does not know names of places not even 60% of Google maps.
I'm talking about places and NOT about names of streets and squares . It knows names of many streets & squares(still less than Google maps)..
I'm asking about places and bussiness places. New places.
Also, for any restaurant, the number of reviews Are. FAR FAR less than the number of reviews of that same restaurant available on GOOGLE maps.
This is about Nokia Maps in my city (very famous) in India.
Please tell about your city/country so It'll help me and all whether they'll need Google maps ( gMaps )app to Download or not.
recommend have gmaps as well. It has more detail. No app is perfect, Nokia doesn't have as much details for locations.

I went to Nokia Map Maker and there I located my college and some other places in my city and then I added them to Nokia Maps.
But then after a month also, when I search for my college using Nokia Here maps, it doesn't show it,even though I added them 1 month ago.
So everytime I open Maps or Waze to help me navigate. It always keeps searching for gps, and it will not navigate without gps. Also , my location in both apps are completely wrong. I'm very sure that I've turned on gps in settings. Is it a software problem?
I have had the GPS problem from day one and have never found a solution; I have tried every suggestion located. It is extremely frustrating when I am trying to get somewhere and it has me driving circles: telling me to turn around, stating to turn early (or late), constantly recalculating, etc.
The map shows I am close to where I actually am, but it is off just enough to cause an issue. When I am in my home it shows I am actually up in some farmer's corn field rather than my subdivision. When I drive it shows I am driving through fields rather than on the road.
Im really upset because Ive had returned the mobile 2 times to the store because the GPS problem. Every damn Xperia XA ultra starts working great with the GPS and after 6 months or so it becomes to stop working. Ive used the app GPS test and it shows that the phone wouldn't connect to any Satellite signals. Then I try GPS test in my GF smartphone (Samsung J5 prime) and it connects to 20 or more satellites.
Did you find a solution?
