Nokia N95 fixing slow GPS
Submitted by Lee McLoughlin on Sat, 2008-02-02 11:39.I do like my Nokia N95 but there are several annoyances with it. Some I know are fixed by newer firmware but being on the Orange network here in the UK I don't have access to newer firmware (which is a whole other issue!)
Many owners of N95's have found that it can take several minutes to get a GPS fix (or GPS lock, as some call it). I raced my Nokia N95 against a generic external Bluetooth GPS unit I use with TomTom Navigator on an N95 - side by side with a clear view of the sky. TomTom + external GPS about 3 seconds. Maps + internal GPS - 10 minutes!!!!!
These are the steps that fixed this issue for me. Your milage may vary!
Freedom Bluetooth Keyboard and the Nokia 6680
Submitted by Lee McLoughlin on Thu, 2005-11-17 15:47.These are some notes about using the Freedom Bluetooth Keyboard with the Nokia 6680 mobile (cell) phone.
I bought this keyboard on eBay where there are various versions of it sold under different brand names. Mine was branded Dopod.
The installation notes that came with it worked well. But I found that there was many things I could do with the keyboard that were not documented. These notes describe those extra features.
Firstly I found it best to turn off T9 (dictionary) mode when using the keyboard. It seems to get in the way at times. In particular when using backspace to correct mistakes (the cursor seems to jump around in an odd way!).
