Alright, I've posted on the maps section, but i'm thinking this is device specific.
Since the Anna update, the assisted GPS has been functionally broken on my phone. It takes many, many, many minutes to get a lock (using integrated GPS solely, when I'm out and about).
The common solution to verify "use only in home network" for positioning server "supl.nokia.com" or whatever does NOT work for me. I know I'm not alone in this, as on these message boards and throughout the internet I also see people with n8's and this problem that cannot be fixed by that positioning server fix.
There was a service pack and ovi maps update recently that I had hoped fix it. Instead, it seems to have made the problem a little bit more invisible.
This is what normally happens: i have internet connectivity offline (i don't have an affordable data plan). Before the service pack, I would open Ovi Maps, and after a second or so I would get prompted with a "Connect to the internet?" option with "Connect automatically/Connect this Time/Cancel" choices. Before Symbian Anna, I would do "Connect This Time", I'd get charged like USD $.02, and then I'd get a GPS lock in less than 10 seconds. After Symbian Anna, nothing would happen, I'd get notification about a "System error", and then I'd get prompted again about making a data connection. I'd hit "Connect this Time" again, but nothing would seemingly happen. It would take upwards of 10 minutes to get a GPS lock, which tells me that A-GPS is being skipped in sole favor of integrated GPS.
With the service pack, the only difference is that I don't get a "System error" at all, but I keep getting prompted to make a data connection. Even if I hit "Connect this time" nothing happens.
I can further verify that assisted-GPS isn't working simply because I'm not getting charged anything by my carrier (AT&T). Normally I get a notification that my last transaction cost me $.02 - $.03, which makes sense since AGPS is just a small bit of data back and forth to narrow down GPS satellites. However, since Symbian Anna, no matter how much I tell Maps to make the data connection, I never get charged anything.
Does anyone know of this problem? Is there a Nokia "known issues" page so I can see if Nokia even considers this a problem? Has anyone fixed this?
For the record, I have virtually NOTHING custom-installed on my phone. Swype is the only non-stock app I have, so my phone is as basically close to factory-reset as possible. So it's not like I have something funny messing up my A-GPS.
No worries. However, my advice is now useless to the OP as he has updated to Belle.
