Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Nokia / March 2007N70 and SatNav Receiver
Mornin' I have a nice little receiver paired to my N70. (As seen http://tinyurl.com/2vx8rk ) Mostly it all works fin using TT5.*, but some days the warning message on the N70 says No GPS receiver and I have to keep going through the find me and set routine for the receiver on the phone in TT5.*. Anyone else have the same issues? N70 has latest software/firmware, on a powered holder, not behind a "special" windscreen and latest maps that will run with TT5.* Also is it really worth adding an external aerial and if so what *is* the size/type of that little brass input plug! >Mornin' > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >the N70 says No GPS receiver and I have to keep going through the find me >and set routine for the receiver on the phone in TT5.*. Have you paired the GPS unit with your phone and set it as Authorised? This could make a difference. >Anyone else have the same issues? I haven't but I am about to install TT5 myself. >Also is it really worth adding an external aerial and if so what *is* the >size/type of that little brass input plug! It depends where you sit or mount the GPS unit in your vehicle, if it is up on the dash near the window then it really won't make much difference, but if you want to mount it under the dash and out of site then it would probably be a good idea. Chances are it is an MMCX plug that fits it, they seem to be common for the GPS receivers. -- The views I present are that of my own and NOT of any organisation I may belong to. 73 de Simon, VK3XEM. <http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/client_search.client_lookup?pCLIENT_NO=157452> > Mornin' > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Also is it really worth adding an external aerial and if so what *is* the > size/type of that little brass input plug! I use TT5 with my 6680 and quite often get the "no gps device" message even though it is paired and set to "authorised". I find the quickest (and surest) way to overcome this is to power the phone off and then on again - works every time :-) HTH  SignatureRegards Steve G >I use TT5 with my 6680 and quite often get the "no gps device" message >even though it is paired and set to "authorised". I find the quickest >(and surest) way to overcome this is to power the phone off and then on >again - works every time :-) When I had the Nokia 6680 I was regularly power cycling it. The main reason was the lack of RAM in the phone. I am much happier now I have the Nokia N70 as it has ample internal memory and RAM, although 80% of my apps reside on the RS-MMC still. With the 6680 100% of the apps had to be in the RS-MMC and I still had to hope for the best. -- The views I present are that of my own and NOT of any organisation I may belong to. 73 de Simon, VK3XEM. <http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/client_search.client_lookup?pCLIENT_NO=157452> >> I use TT5 with my 6680 and quite often get the "no gps device" message >> even though it is paired and set to "authorised".

I frequently have to open the memory card slot door to clear apps from memory. But hey! I love this phone ... and it was free - my son works for Orange and gets a new phone every year :-) SignatureRegards Steve G >> Mornin' >> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > HTH Hmmm, that always works for me too. It's paired fine, and set to authorised, but randomly loses the Bluetooth connection or the signal. No pattern, no warning, no other symptoms. Maybe I'll get a WM5 driven phone and install TT6 sometime. Cheers people for help When i first had my N70 i had to upgrade the firmware to the latest edition.

Yes, but I have placed my Nokia N70 in my Nokia car kit and it does not appear. I don't believe it was included in this model. -- The views I present are that of my own and NOT of any organisation I may belong to. 73 de Simon, VK3XEM. <http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/client_search.client_lookup?pCLIENT_NO=157452> |
