Anyone having problem with the GPS?
Currently my bro's N79 can't lock to a satellite.
Waited so long still don't have a signal in Nokia Maps & Garmin XT.

QUOTE(charles_nkj @ Jan 24 2009, 07:23 AM) n abt the satellite locking.... 1. try satellite locking outdoor (preferably open field with no tall buildings) 2. turn on agps (u'll be charge for locking though) as my unit doesn't have problem with locking, though it would take longer time to lock if u r in the basement or something similar  QUOTE(zamanjaafar @ Jan 24 2009, 11:25 AM) the tip is to be static/not moving yet while the satellite is locking, and preferably somewhere with open sky Problem is whether I indoor or outdoor also can't even lock to a satellite. Both Nokia Maps & Garmin XT also shows waiting for gps. Even at the tools > connections > gps.once the satelllites are green then only u can navigate and travel, by then it would stay green along the journey Using latest firmware. No other having same problem? Might need to go to nokia care center. |

I guess the GPS still new. I let it on searching for GPS for almost 1 hour then I came back, it locked to few satellite. I didn't know it need to "warm up".
 After that, I just need to wait around 3~5mins to lock on satellite. |
