I know that so many people complain about how slow NOKIA devices are when it comes to GPS connection.

These tips I brought to you will help increase the connectivity speed that it will most likly take about 10 to 30 second at maximum instead of the old-fashioned 5 to 10 minuts we all know.

1\Open the keyboard (slider).

2\Go to: menu/tools/settings/general/positioning/positioning methods. Be sure that “Assisted GPS”, “Integrated GPS” and “Network based” are marked.

Then go back to “positioning” options and select “positioning server”. As an access point, choose the internet access point (note that WLAN and WAP wont do the trick). And the server address should be “suple.nokia.com”. If not, insert it manually.

Note: this will cost you a little due to data transferal (about 8 kbs only). Later, you can remove these options.

3\ Put your phone in an open area or as close as possible to a window with the keyboard slider open (direct the keyboard outside the window) because the GPS chip is under the keyboard (smart design from NOKIA).

4\Launch the mapping app you’re using (Google maps, Garmin mobile XT, NOKIA maps..etc) and leave it until there is a GPS connection.

5\Connect the battery charger and leave the mobile like this for 4 hours maximum.

Like this, your GPS device’s location (which is your phone) will be recognized by the GPS sattilite at once. Making it connect alot faster than before.

Now you can return the positioning settings back although leaving them will make it even faster. But remember that every time you need to use the GPS, you have to slide-open the keyboard for fast connecting.
