> In reply to GPS must use 3G or I @ 2009-11-05 14:25 from ibaLiBaL, I tried what you asked, my first lock in was this morning at home and I work 48 KM from where I live (as the crow flies) so even though I know my way home, I left only Integrated GPS selected for positioning methods, and it took 4 minutes (give or take a few seconds either way) to get signal, and I was in Johannesburg CBD. At home I restarted the device, then tried again with only Integrated GPS and it took just under a minute. It normally takes 15-20 seconds with A-GPS.

Can I ask how long it normally takes (with A-GPS), maybe you are giving up to soon? From my little test it's 4 times slower without A-GPS so maybe you must just be a bit more patient.

> In reply to NewGuy @ 2009-11-05 07:24 from AERQhere, i explain to you my situation...

Ok, i'm from Malaysia using my M'sia simcard which have 3g... So far in Malaysia i dont have any problem using GPS because my sim provider support the 3G, and for the first time, i have to use A-GPS to lock in my position using 3G.. After the first lock in, in 30 km radius area, it automatically detect the satellite and no need fer me to use A-GPS, but, but if i'm outside the 30km radius area from my first lock in, i have to activate my A-GPS again to lock in my position..

Ok, in my case, in Malaysia, i dont have to worry about A-GPS bcoz my sim provider support the 3G, and yesterday i go to Bangkok, Thailand, i cant lock in my position without A-GPS, bcoz my sim provider doesnt provide me the 3G services outside Malaysia, it does provide with me the 3G but with high cost... and i dont use it and i felt i have wasted my money to buy this phone to travel oversea..

Any my last question is, how can u use the GPS without A-GPS?????? and pls try not to use it within 30km or more radius area from your last lock in position, and try it without A-GPS...

@Ben Web>Settings>Page>Content, change to load all

@bv In SA the phone comes with a 2GB card, then with all the maps and voice files loaded it's a little over 1.3GB, annoying since in Europe they get a 4GB card apparently.

@Amr Sound quality is excellent as is the volume. It really comes into it's own when using Ovi Maps. I drive a loud car, and even with music on, I can hear phone calls, messages and of course the GPS voice

@Kaká, Brazil 6710 has 120 MB RAM (according to LCG X-plore and Handy Taskman)

@slacam You can get it from here http://labs.divx.com/MobileDownload

To all the people asking, GPS doesn't need internet, the GPS function is sim-free.

so far so good apart from the fact that the web browser is much slower than my old n95 and that pictures do not open automatically after downloading. In the manual there is apparently a setting for this but the phone does not give nd this option. This is frustrating-frustrating.

Hi,

I have a major problem with my Nokia 6710.
I'll use the phone and it will stall and restart. Or during the course of the day look at my phone and it will be off.
After couple of days, It will not start up at all(Charge the battery to full).

I can't check software version, as I can't get it back on.
Any advice? As it just came back from repairs, have it for 5 weeks (2 weeks in repair).

Its me again, not that I want to complain or anything, just to feedback on my problem... Sent in for repair on Tues, got back the phone on Fri, Sat chatted for a while on it, it blanked out, managed to power it on, works well until Monday morning, power off by itself again, still can power on, so I guess just have to live with it... few hours later, auto powered off again, and this time, cannot power on anymore... luckily I brought my warranty card along, this would be the 4th time I sent it in for repair.. still have 2 days to go before I officially own the phone for 1 mth...

Hi, anyone can teach me
1. how to add my nokia handsfree to this handset. I could not locate the function to locate the add on feature.
2. How do i disable the power saver faeture? If i am driving the car with the GPRS on, the screen will black out after 90 sec? It defeats the idea of having a GPRS while driving.

many thanks!

The random zooming problem some users are having may be a setting in the phone. Go to Maps, Options, Tools, Settings, Navigation, Automatic Zoom, and change this to off.

I have had the 6710 for a week now. I'm generally happy with it, but I've had some problems with the GPS (which is why I bought it). Sometimes the GPS works and finds a position, but sometimes it just says "no gps signal", despite being in a place where I've had gps signal before, or in an open area with clear skies. Anyone else having these problems?
