Dont like that say later godlike sifu come and use machine gun shoot me le. From what i understand it could be the gps chip itself. I not gps sifu u wait godlike sifu come clarify this better.

Hi i want to know what is your normal 12mp saved image size... I usually get higher than 5mb... but after hard reset it goes 2 mb... and I notice got different in image quality also... thanks

Yes, my guess is more likely due to GPS chips or location of the chip in phone or antenna design and less to do with processor speed like you suggested earlier. But not sure, hence my asking question.

Either way, if other phone can lock faster, why not the supposedly top-of-the-line N8?

As for accuracy, my E series can sometimes get the position wrong by as much as 30 meters when GPS is supposedly within 10 meter but to be fair, it's usually in the concrete jungle. Imagine my surprise when I found the Samsung being far more accurate when compared side by side. I was hoping the newer N8 will be better than the older E series.

Hoping the latest OVI Maps 3.06 will be better and also able to search using coordinates on-the-fly.

That's most probably you've installed a mod for the picture quality to 100 if i'm not mistaken. Sklchan has this mod btw.

It depends on the shot actually like scene mode , ISO, lighting. I notice usually in closeup the file size is bigger

okay i've found a problem, when ever i record something using the voice recorder, it will skip a few seconds. meaning that the recording will have parts that will just skip. but im not having the problem with video recording. anyone?

Here the video

Seems better than the E Series. If you move locations, say 1 kilometer away, will it still takes that long or shorter time to lock? I suppose your OVI maps is 3.04 and not the latest 3.06? One thing I hope they have fixed is the search by coordinate on-the-fly.

It much depend on the image you taken, example ur image less colorful, (Black n white), then ur picture size will reduce significantly, coz less detail is save in ur image.

Another possible is like what freakenstein said, maybe before u hard reset, u install a mod to pump ur image quality to 100

another possible is before start u r using a different scene or mode. Then after u restart it reset back to default

er.... about the GPS on N8.. from my own exp, i never use A-GPS as Im on prepaid. Sometimes, The GPS with Ovi or Garmin i can lock my positon within few seconds, but sumtimes, 5 minutes more, so.... my 2 cents la. GPS lock speed depend on area gua...

If you achieve a lock, exit GPS and relauch GPS, it will take mere seconds because it still have memory of last satelite location. I think this is called Warm start.

Instead, switch off GPS. Move to a new location some distance away and try again. If you move to a new country, takes even longer to lock. This is Cold start or very Cold start LOL.

Also depending on that area whether signal block by lotsa trees, high buidings & etc..

GPS needs huge open space and if you're under the shed, under a tree or beside a highrises..you will face difficuties of getting signal for sure

I was in HK once and switched off AGPS. Could not get a lock even after standing half hour outside in the freezing weather. Could be due to all the tall buildings around me blocking the signal.

i ask in directd's store he only take around rm 500-600 for n8
nokia really cheap when wanna re sale

At that price, I also want.

he take back, after he put on sale, sure higher price....

All shops are like that. U want higher value u sell in lyn garage sales

No need Hong Kong. I remembered during the Windows Mobile aged in Mid 2000, I was testing GPS set at LYP -PDA expert shop. We wnet outside wth the PDA on hand & tested the signal..waited for >20min & while chit-chating still onoly can see few signal- we decided to stop waiting beh tahan liao haha..
