GPS connection issue

[DkW]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with GPS. The simple steps outlined on page 44-46 of the user manual pdf simply do not work. I have both Intergrated GPS and Network based positioning methods enabled. When I choose tools-location-GPS data I get a message "searching for GPS devices" followed closely by another message "calculating GPS data". When I then choose either Navigation, Position or Trip distance I see "no connection", regardless of whether I'm inside or out (Or on a hill top with no obstructions for that matter). I've only just got my i8910, am I missing something? Is this a hardware/software or a carrier issue. I'm with Optus Aus. I8910DXIH1.

Any help appreciated - thanks in advance


P.S. I have used the search function of this forum and to no avail

I'm having similar issues, haven't tried though staying outside and configuring it from there (it's too bloody cold)

Tried contacting the phone company, but they couldn't tell me anything about what I should try.

I'll try and doodle with this, see if I can figure anything out. I fiddled with the settings and deleted the gps server address (stupid me) does anyone have it written down?

EDIT: I stand corrected, I used the GPS+ application, it downloaded the gps settings/coordinates and next time I run it the gps device was no longer disconnected, it worked fine. Use the download data option and it should work fine.
