I completely hate the slow GPS in the N95. Besides that the phone is kinda as boxy and the short battery life and missing mail for xchange is an unacceptable downgrade. I switched back to my N73 ME. I really am hopping for some killer improvements to the software...

How about music listening with a2dp? Less packetloss -> stuttering now? That's really my only (though big) disappointment this far.

Does it have the option to end the call when closing the slider?

Some more things to check for:

WLAN bug - on 11.0.26 you need to turn powersaving (in advanced settings) off or the connection is dropped all the time - fixed or not?

Camera presets - on all but "Auto" the camera uses the HIGH sharpening setting instead of normal - still so?

Camera user preset - looses all settings when you shut down camera - remembered now?

cheers
Peter

Why are you so nasty ? Many people downlaod this version of Maps before Nokia withdrew it... and I can say it works very well. Many people use it... Personly, I use it every day and I don't have any problem with it.

About v12 firmware... I'm from Geneva Planet ! And you will be very surprise very soon about this relase.

Please, be nice... it's no good to be so nasty.

"Nokia Maps new Version... look here ! A the end of the page... works fine !

http://www.planete-nokia.com/phpBB2/index.php?showtopic=42181&st=660

I tried to change ma product code of my N95 but I can't have the new FW (v12)."

1. This is the version that Nokia withdrew. Use at your own risk. In my case it doesn't actually update the Maps software anyway.

2. ??? What planet are you on, that you think that v12 firmware is available now? It's not. This is very clear from even a cursory glance at this page.

See below an email received today from Nokia, wrt the updated Nokia Maps s/w for the N95, and the associated firmware upgrade.

Hi Geoff,

Thank you for your request and your interest in our Nokia MAPS product.

Currently we do not yet know when the version will finally be made available.

> Or will we have to wait for a firmware update before we can have the
> latest Nokia Maps for N95? If so when will that be available.

The firmware update will be available at the end of August, but it might
happen that the Nokia MAPS update for the N95 will be released beforehand. As already said, we do not have a release date for that version.

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards

Am a bit tired of seeing posts such as this by ridwaan that I've quoted below that say the N95 GPS is no good, based on one experience.

All GPS systems have some limitations according to the environment they're in, and N95 is no different. N95 also needs careful handling when using handheld as its v easy to block the GPS antenna with your fingers. If you hold the N95 from underneath and keep fingers well away from the keypad, this gives thes best results in my experience.

I've had my N95 since first UK release and the GPS has performed almost faultlessly.

Thanks for the info, Ricky! I was just wandering around the streets of downtown Seattle getting completely annoyed because my N95's GPS just wouldn't lock in at all! I had four satellites, but never got locked in. Hopefully, Assisted GPS will help with this issue, because as far as yesterday went, the GPS was totally worthless. :("

Have they updated Flash Lite to v2.1 on the new firmware and does it crash a lot?

Re: New N95 Firmware Coming

Andreas — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 03:36:46 -0000

just a little explanation how A-GPS works:
Normally it takes minutes for the N95 to check which satellites are located in line of sight. What A-GPS does, it it creates a packet switched connection to the operator normally (but here to Nokia) transfers it's cell ID to the operator. The operator has a GPS receiver somewhere on the roof mapping the locations of the satellites to the cell ID of their network. Next they send the right satellite positions to the cell phone so it can fix on the satellites immediately.
Now I know such a GPS receiver has a radius of about 1000km so Nokia need at least several of these stations within Europe.

I've been using that same product code since the last update, but my NSU is still coming up dry. It had me update last night when I checked it also, but no luck.

Is there something you're doing that I'm not?

Slavyan Kanovsky from Bulgaria — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 17:17:37 -0000

I just can't wait for this new upgrade. If it doesn't have the upgraded Nokia Maps it'd be great. Because "tracking" can be used instead of navigation, yes, BUT I do NOT mean to cheat Nokia. But they just leave me no choice as there is not even paid navigation for Bulgaria, where I live. So the only chance for me and many other people to use the Nokia Maps app is to go for the "tracking".

The A-GPS is definitely welcomed, but really how much traffic does it make, won't it be too expensive used longer time. So if you can, please give some data ( ?? kb/min moving for example ). And if it doesn't use any traffic, then how does it work actually?

Thomas Valen — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 15:31:46 -0000

The new Nokia Maps features like showing when data is being transfered are supposed to be introduced with the final version, which can currently be downloaded for some models as a so called "pre-launch version" but not for the N95 yet.

Do I understand You correctly then that the new firmware does NOT contain this final release of Nokia Maps but rather just a newer beta which still looks very much the same? That would be pretty bad timing on Nokias side.

Re: New N95 Firmware Coming

krisq — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 15:00:40 -0000

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. When you select your route from point A to B, is there tracking feature still in the menu? I've heard they've removed it to make people buy voice navigation.
