hmmm my location not show
how to connect GPS?

There are a few reasons why you cant see your location or it takes forever to show:

1. Low satellite signal, you could be in your house. But still it will show just longer time to load
2. You dont have the map of Malaysia (if ur in malaysia) installed in your machine, you can still see your location but it will take a long time as your data packet is downloading the whole malaysia map. Unless you have unlimited data package, dont do this as I believe Malaysia map to be around 10MB or more.. which means around RM1000 using the on the go data rate
3. Your GPS receiver screwed

So I have Qs for you:

1. Where were you when u try to get your location? Inside or outside building?
2. Have you installed Malaysia Map? Please install it if you havent via the map loader software.
3. Did u activate your A-GPS function already? This help to locked the satellite faster

So after install map all, go to MAPS>Find place>GPS Position [0]. It shows my place in 2 secs when I stand in my balcony.
If after you already install the map, outside of building and still cant show ur location, it's time to bring your phone to NCC lor.

Nokia map is free, it will never expired... the voice navigation is the one not free.
U can also try Gamin and Mapking, which received a lot of good reviews. But I dont have it as I dont use that much GPS to go around town. Well I dont use it actually since the maps are pretty outdated anyway.

nice but haha i saw it retailin for 35.99 euros. was tempted to get it but the PDair's one was quite cool too. we'll see how both fare with each other.

and btw guys, i bought it off eBay or u can just google PDair and their site will come up. It's from US if i'm not mistaken. $28.00 but in conjunction with their 5th anniversary u'll get free shipping and also a free leather keychain worth $10.00

hope that helps

Can the TV-out function being used for 3G video call?
I know the TV-out can be used for gaming and playing video as shown in NokMote

If it can, how's the quality when the video call is projected into TV screen? Is it blocky?

Hi.I want to buy N95,but the duration of battery makes me pull back.So,I want to ask:

1.How long can the battery of N95 8GB maintain?(Assume that only receiving call and sending message,not using camera,hearing music,3G and GPS)

2.Does the duration for N95 8GB is better than previous version of N95?

Hmm even if it can it kinda kill the purpose of video call cause the camera is placed in a way that it's like you're looking face to face with each other, if you have the TV out activated then the other side will see your chin and neck and maybe nose lobang if you look at the TV while holding your phone.

Also most video call camera is quite low quality one so displaying on the TV will become even worse.

2. Of course a significant improvement.

All in all, don't worry about the battery endurance. As long as it can tahan a full day of heavy usage, I consider that a plus cause you won't be passing through 24 hours without a power point beside you, even when travelling. Not to mention the charger is so portable. Unless you go camping lo...

The specs for N95 are pretty well, but the endurance of battery really trouble me.So,how about N95?How can it last-long as the above example?

finally got my gps to work.. thx guys!

but is it jus me or do u feel the nokia maps of malaysia very NOT DETAIL.. hard for me to find around eevn wif the nokiamap..

is there any other more detail map where i can put inside my n95? i actually jus wan a detail map of kl and penang.. at least no need take physical map around

@SkyW
for N95, the newest firmware V20 already reduce the battery consumption. i also able to stretch the battery life to 40+hrs under medium usage. (1-8mins call, 30-40sms, 1+hrs music, occasional GPS usage, few minutes WiFi, few photo snaps, etc)

if light usage, can easily last 2 days, no problem.

@eyez98
read previous posts. already mentioned quite a few times. MapKing and Garmin Mobile XT

2. Nokia Map is the Map application, does it come with Msia Maps? ( AP sets)

4. What else i have to do with my new N958GB..??

5. where? or can i install the V menu style(found on n81) into my N95?

1. Its totally free because it access thru satellite... but remember to disable your network usage so tat it wont use your 3G/GPRS to download/update the map details.

2. At least ap set doesn't. not sure about the avaxx set.

3. Nope.

4. ah??? in terms of?

5. v menu style? im not really sure about this..

MY PACKAGE IS DELIVERED !!!!

damn happy

1. THanks..but how to disable network usage?

2. need to check it out

4. What essential app. i need? settings other than 3G?

1. You can disable it in the Map options -> network

2. Trust me, it's VERY easy to install...I know preinstalled stuffs felt "more original", but it's the same la even if preinstalled one has to be updated via Nokia Map Loader.

4. HandyTaskManager, damn good app that virtually looks like the windows task manager. Other than that it's up to you.

5. I think it's only for N81. Don't forget, Nokia (and each other brand) will add in unique functions and features to each phone. I always prefer the grid style cause your keypads are the shortcuts of the first 12 icons, like 074 is access to barcode scanner, *7 is file manager etc etc. I used to do that since 3210/3310 era (although not grid style but still can use numbers corresponding to the list number). Dunno la maybe the v shape also can but grid style easier to know which button mah.

Added on December 15, 2007, 12:07 pmAnother thing that'll make you even proud of owning the N95 8GB!

After checking the N-Gage site, it seems that among the high end GPS handset N95/N95 8GB/N82 only N95 8GB can do landscape gaming! Not sure about the N95 classic ler cause the site didn't state it can but nevertheless N95 8GB sure can! So that means in the coming future when N-Gage launched I think Nokia will make the 4 MM keys compatible as gaming keys! Extra 2 more than the N81!

This post has been edited by pigcat: Dec 15 2007, 12:12 PM

THanks for replying..1,2 and 4.

5. I read online bout what Series 60 Feature Packed 1 has those cool looking menu style in default..n76, 6110 and n81 has it..so i guess n95 should be able to run it? i think i wanna ask the n81 whether they can send it out by bluetooth or not..hehe..

DOnt u think the 4mm buttons is a bit hard to press..imagine pressing it for gaming..wow..pain man...hehe

thanks again..if u dont mind..can i get u msn? so that i can bomb u with load of Qs later on bout n95?hehe

put on my martin screen....seem that after putting it...my camera picture quality not so bright like before

nice nice very well organized arrangement

About the new menu style honestly I don't quite interested lo so I didn't bothered about it. I think it's more like a built in stuff that only can hope Nokia put it in.

The buttons are sure not gaming oriented la but better than nothing lo, maybe will have auto-fire function haha...I love landscape gaming so that's part of the reason why I bought this, but have to hope game developers do something with it la.

And, sorry about the MSN, I'm a real alien here cause I don't use any IM... I check this forum quite often so can just ask here.
