Yeah bro, I am also having the same problem. Is it because of the MAP or The APP NOKIA DRIVE or GPS device inside the phone?

i already went to nokia care center 2 times. first they said it's nokia drive problem. so they re-install it. the 2nd time they said cannot be as all other phone sold doesn't have problem like this when i asked is there any cases similar like this from other customer.

a bit irritated as they don't have the drive to help me solve the problem as i can only test the gps once im on the road. at least please test it themselves so they can see the problem better right? now, i will go there 3rd time and ask that they fix this once for all or replace me with another phone with working gps.

but before i do that, anyone has successfully fix this problem?

Ok, appreciate if u can update me here coz i dont want to argue with the nokia fellows about this. If it is proven to be fixed then can confidently go there and say "see, IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PHONE"

Ughhhh, how long will it take u think?

Announce the good news bro im waiting until saturday to drop mine at nokia care centre plaza berjaya. since that guy successfully repaired there so no need to explain much to them, right? ;D

Seriously its crazy. GPS in Nokia MAP if you are not moving is ok, but when you started to move around and combined with using Nokia Drive, it will start positioning you here and there. I tried to wait until Nokia Drive 2.0 to see if it's the apps problem, but still when using offline mode in Nokia Drive 2.0, it was the same. When a few of us in the forum experienced the same thing, then suspected hardware problem. And when somebody send his unit at a Nokia Care Center and the motherboard got replaced, then BOOM! Jackpot! So I'm sure it's hardware related.

Please take note I try to rectify everything which might be apps related problems such as uninstalling Nokia Maps while retaining Nokia Drive and uninstalling/installing map no less than 10 times.

rubber casing try nokia centre in OU bro. its about RM48 for the ori. me? i bought 'OEM' at plaza alam sentral; rm10 ;p back cover not available yet so far...

same kes when i sent to OU Nokia Care Centre. The reason in the Work Order they gave is that I have to enable data all the time. The conclusion that I can get for this is either the technician checking my phone is incompetent(didn't know about nokia lumia 710 specs and software upgrade) or lazy. I conclude that my 710 just got A-GPS only but not GPS as when I tested with GPSInfo apps under the sky it just show fix location with A-GPS. When I put airline mode, it cannot get fix.

One question though, GPS(not A-GPS) will still work even though in airline mode rite?

If I want to change my unit with another replacement unit, how to do it? I grew tired with this sending to Nokia Centre where I am more knowledgeable about the phone than the technician. Tired of getting angry and going back and fro many times and not getting my phone fixed...

Good idea friend, I might just do that. Look, I'm not condemning all of Nokia Centre's staff or management, just that this issue is making me grieve unnecessarily. If they do a thorough test; bring my phone on the road and activate Nokia Drive, they can see the what the problem is. But I understand, maybe they got their procedure on testing or what.

sent it again to NCC OU. this time, I used GPSInfo to record the reading on my Lumia 710 and my fiancee's Lumia 800 and snap pics of both. Then I showed it to the NCC's complaint receiver. And they decided to replace the GPS receiver in my phone; maybe because it's the 2nd time I send my phone and also they got a clearer picture of my problems.

a picture tells a thousand words indeed ;D

Whoever has the same problem but find it hard to explain to NCC's personnel, you can take this pics and explain to them:



As you can see, my Lumia 710 only has A-GPS but the Lumia 800 has full GPS, so it is hardware error. These details were taken on a clear sky, where I stand around almost 30 mins with both phones on hand.

Technical issues aside, so hows the sale of lumias in malaysia? will it challenge android supremacy? but it's apparent in kl that most of the phone vendors recommend android; in this case samsung galaxy w. but i just dont know, i admit android is good and interesting, but i was more interested with windows OS. maybe because it's different...

hmmmm, maybe not, hold on it for another year or 2 perhaps, then sell and buy nokia with apollo ;D but of coz, hope that they will upgrade all the windows 7.5 os phone to apollo when it is out...

Added on April 20, 2012, 5:52 pmhow about sending to another nokia centre bro? because they put into their website that the lumia 710 support A-GPS AND GPS. sometimes the laziness of a few people indirectly affect sales of the product as a whole...such an unfortunate things to happen...

ok, got back my lumia 710 and full GPS is working i guess when they change the motherboard, they change the whole phone(except for battery and backcover; which i kept) because my phone that i sent i already changed the screen protector, now its using the original one back. anyway, i'm happy now, thank you NOKIA

i did have the same problem. try install GPSINFO and then check your gps either a-gps or full gps under open sky. if a-gps all the way, its hardware issue, send your phone to nokia care centre. you can use the pics that i've posted thats showing the different of phone that only has a-gps to full gps.

congratz chonglol i hope from this point many more people who's having problem like this can solve their problem easily. nokia care has called you after that? they called me and i gently told them that the service; especially the diagnosing part can be improved ;D

Or not just download YouRang from Marketplace and you can edit directly any song from youtube.

So guys, we now know that Apollo/WP 8 we will not be getting. Instead we will get WP7.8 which will have the same start screen as WP8.

What I felt about this? After reading so many articles and blogs about the revelation of WP8 and existing WP7.5 user would not be getting it, I don't mind. I feel that right now my trusty Lumia 710 serves it purpose as a smart phone that I wanted to have at the time of buying and all the apps is usable and on par with Iphone or Android. In fact I am excited as the new UI of WP7.8 looks very nice and made it more different that standard Iphone/Android. And with WP 7.8, there might be more updates coming, lets keep our hopes up

Well guys, what do you think?

it's already out bros, i have updated to tango

so far i have seen the mms function, camera extra and internet tethering but don't know how to export contact to sim. anyone knows how to do that?

just plug in your phone to pc/laptop(connected to net) and the update will popup on your phone.

yeah, from nokia collection in market place. it then will put the extra settings in camera.
