make sure ur positioning setting is same as 5800
then test again.

i'm sure 5800 consume almost same time wif n97 in locking gps

I dont think so. because yesterday i've done it at kuala kangsar which is far away from my current location.. both using garmin , same version , map also same version.. A-gps turned off.. start garmin in the same car at the same time..
but n97 locked damn fast.. and pathetically 5800 takes time.. maybe its my luck , used to get 5800 with very slow locked gps , now got n97 fast locked one.. lol..

hi,the v12 just lauch last month.
now so fast coming v20..
nice nokie 97

ehh any recommended apps to make n97 more interesting ??
just need the name..

theyre quiite a few out there, try googling out searches with symbian apps s60v5 or nokia n97 they work for me,

go setting, app then find for positiong.
make sure ur access point for both is the same,both is using 3g or gprs or none.

and positioning server set to "always ask", then u can select either connect to satelite thru telco or not in garmin start up.


normally phone default from connect thru gprs/3g, then to satelite, then u will be charge grps data from telco rm0.10...so faster

didn't care wat version wat map u use to connect to satelite --->"both using garmin , same version , map also same version.. A-gps turned off.. start garmin in the same car at the same time.."

mana our V12 sobs sobs.

is better to wait for v20
v12 got widget canot support..

Welcome to the team

Anyway, N97 basically sucks in GPS when it were v11 (for me). I wonder why. After I upgrade to v12, the GPS locked fast. took 10 second to locked. Anyway, I'm happy you satisfied with the upgrade. By the way, why don't you wait for v20 with full kinetic scroll on N97. It'll be release this october. For Malaysia, maybe November or December

quickoffice , nokia photo browser from nokia beta labs, garmin, vbag gameboy advance emulator

soo long man.. I hope by that time got N900 already. I tukar. LOL

i personally love gravity... the best app for twitter in n97... its like having a paper in ur hand.. plus they r improving on facebook features.. cos nokia's facebook app really sucks and slow

my gps on n97, v11 locks on within seconds, if not, max 10 seconds, but i use data plan, and i use A-gps, probably thats why?

anyhow, gps locking depends on your last position locked on as well, it kind of memorises where u locked on last, and search for your fix from there.. so if ur last locked on was at london, it may take an hour before it reaches your current position i think, that is why on garmin, while it is searching for a valid fix, u can actually put in new position, its like telling the gps where ur rough position is, then it locks on slightly faster..

this only applicable to those who do not use A-gps, cause with A-gps, it locks on within seconds.

and yeah.. awaiting eagerly for v12, or v2.0.. makes me drool

finally i found a video converter which plays full resolution!

google for "n97 best video format"

Nokia N97: Video playback formats are 3GP formats, Flash Video, H.264/AVC, MPEG-4; the video resolution is 360*640. Audio formats are AAC, M4A, MP3, WAV, WMA etc.

cool.. thanks for the info~ =)

just tested a simple n fast converter... videora.com

Until now I can't get my phone updated to V12, sigh

A-GPS is enabled during my v11, but it's hard to get the phone to lock the GPS. Anyway, what past is past. v12 rocks!
