Hi Graham,
With the N95, try turning on Assisted GPS, and you may get fixes again. I
think it is Tools, Settings, Positioning, Positioning Methods.
If you had an external, you wouldn't need to turn this on, but it sure helps
with the internal, which is not so great on the N95 anyway.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [talks-uk] new gps receiver
Hi all.
I have a Hollux GPS receiver which I used to keep on my keyring that became
dammaged as a result of this. it is I think meant to be hung on a laniard
not a keyring and this caused the case to crack.
for whatever reason, I can't use the integrated receiver on my phone anymore
as it has become more unreliable over time. now I always get the message GPS
status 0 percent and it never finds a position. this maybe a software
problem or damage to the gps aerial.
I am wondering which model to buy and whether I can get something on the
high street as I am often not in to receive delivery.
2 questions, is this problem with my phone integrated receiver likely to be
due to damage to the GPS arial on my N95 8 GB and how should I proceed with
an external receiver? having one meant to be attached to a keyring sounds
great but if I forget my keyring and leave it on charge and go out of the
flat I will lock myself out.
I could do with one that charges itself on armn pit heat so I can strap it
to myself and never forget it! alternatively and more seriously has anyone
else had this problem with slow deteriation of the N95 receiver which used
to be great backup if I forgot to take out the Hollux GPS with me?
Regards
Graham
