Look back through this thread (page 10> onwards) and you can find out more about your problem...you most likely got a unit with a defective GPS. I had this problem, so did quite a few others. Only way to solve is to send it back to Nokia Care center for service. Should be no charge if you have valid warranty.

Yes, you can use nokia drive navigation offline.

You should be getting it very soon. I got my notification that update is available early this morning. Just updated now.

Try keeping your wifi on. Use whatsapp to keep your wifi on even though phone is locked.


Don't get too impatient, its not much really. What I was hoping for USSD support and backup features but alas, nothing.

Guess ill have to go get a WP8

Its stable with no bugs so far.

Main addition in this update is the new home screen with resizeable tiles, and larger size since the app menu arrow has been moved to the bottom and hidden until you scroll all the way down, so 2 tiles will take up the entire width of the screen. Its actually quite useful, i can now have all the apps i use on my homescreen for 1/3 the length of scrolling than if it were all in 7.5. Small tiles also will still give notification which is good. You can really customize your home screen now.

New bing lock screen wallpapers are also nice if you like the images Bing puts up.

Zune live tile animation has changed from solid album artist to one where the artist name will move across the live tile. Some other native Microsoft apps tile icons changed as well eg. Games tile, Office,...

Overall UI enhancement, im not 100% sure, but i feel like it actually became a little smoother and more refined than 7.5

Thats about all i found out over the last 12 hours or so after update.


I think its not actually a major Software update, mainly aesthetics only. So update, dont update, you wont really notice much difference other than the live tiles.

battery life reduce from 7.5....this could be due to me over charging though.

average usage still the same, but it takes a tiny bit longer to open apps from start screen.

Everything else is the same, no difference. Whatsapp, just remember to open it when ever you are using wifi to get it to keep the wifi connection open under lock screen.

If anyone wants to get a bigger battery for their Lumia 710, the BP-4L from the E71 will fit and work, giving you 200 more mAh.

Its a very tight fit, cover will close but with a slight bulge. If you remove the foam on the inside of the battery cover then it will fit perfectly. Just peel the foam off (its like a sticker) and stick in onto the stock battery so you don't lose it.

stock battery BP-3L is 1300mAh --> BP-4L is 1500mAh

Bigger battery than the Lumia 800 - 1450mAh


I had to get one since my stock battery life wont give me more than 12 hours per full charge anymore after 1year+ of use. RM35 on lelong.com + RM6 for shipping. Seller says its 100% ori, but i highly doubt that is. Maybe from AP set(if there is such a thing?). Didn't even come with Nokia packaging, but so far no problems and any increase in battery life is welcome
