But i found some of the blog saying the satellite signal strength bar has been removed in the new OVI map v3.04. Is this true?

Because when i tried to check the satellite signal manually in the 'GPS position' option, i can see there are about 4-5 satellite i have locked on...

false .. its why bcos ure phone already in progress of detection .. tats the difference ..

General Info @ I-GPS vs A-GPS

Thanks for the info, Xploit Machine. BTW, after i dig some research, i finally got it...The OVI map v3.04 does not show the signal bar. It all represent by the red dot. As long as the red dot shows red color, it meant you are locked up the satellite.... =)

.. great congrats for the effort on searching, btw i sold my N5800XM while still on 3.03

haha....actually i just bought my tube recently..i attracted to this tube because of its free navigation offered....

can anyone here provide me the original positioning server in the tube? I changed it recently and found out it is slower, and now I wanted to chang e it back but didn't took down the original address.

thanks

original "supl.nokia.com" the modded one is "h-slp.mnc015.mcc234.pub.3gppnetwork.org" .. was that u mean?

i dont think changing those affects the positioning .. bcos my post on Nokia forums has no comments http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/t5/Nse...Maps/m-p/614541

yep, that's the one

thanks

issit? somehow it does when i am using network based positioning

never tested the modded one though .. since the positioning disabled since i bought the phone .. and only 2 times i've used A-GPS lifelong ..

i have another question about the GPS. Currently, i enable the GPS and A-GPS. But i set the postioning method to be 'always ask'. So everytime i search my location or use navigation, it will prompt me saying that 'Connection to network positioning server required. Costs may be incurred', but normally i click no and i still can get my position and use the drive navigation.

So once i clicked 'no', is that meant i'm not using the A-GPS?...bit confused...

not only that, i can guarantee you that video playback capability is among the best, not even samsung 2 i8000(can only play it's demo HD helicopter file while any mp4 you put in will not be smooth) or any winmo phone can beat this phone, smoothest of all the rest......even though the 5800 processor is slower.

garmin is still d way to go
its map is updated weekly by MFM
wonder when was d last time ovi maps got their msian map updated

For me as well garmin is the best option for its up to date maps. I already learn a lesson using non up to date maps it brought me in circle until i was late for my event.


The best nokia phone playback currently is Nokia N900 it can play most format even including Divx videos without conversion or lag. It says MKV and RMVB works too but requires some hack with x-terminal

yeah, for Ovi Map v3.04, the signal bar is removed and represent by the red dot. If the red dot is dim in colour, mean it's still looking for signal, and once it's locked, the red dot will become bright colour.

the difference between v3.03 and v3.04 is the performance, when u zooming in or out, the graphic is smoother while v3.03 is slightly lag during zoom progress...

their map is updated too.
is just they don't have custom POI like garmin do

check it online..

yep, their map is updated since last month. hopefully nokia will release their next map set soon with latest road on malaysia...
love the 3D landmarks...

two months back or so, the msian map at ovi dated at yr 2008 i tink...lol
but anyway, still cant fight with weekly update at MFM

EDIT:
and there is no guarantee when ovi will update their msian map again~
