I tried the following, and still no positive results :

1. First accessed Nokia Ovi Maps. Got a location fix on the map that it displayed. Exited. Then ran my app. It still...

There's a small problem. I don't have access to a phone that has a GPS chip, till Monday! :( So, gotta wait for another day or two, for that. I will update here, as soon as I can...

I checked all the settings. They are proper. I also tested on a host of other devices as well. Its STILL not working. Can anyone please suggest anything here? I am thinking, its some configuration...

Hello,

This is quite a funny situation I am finding myself in. A few days back, I wrote a simple, Midlet which captures the Lat/Lng value, and stores it in a file. I was using an E72 at that point...

@traud

Thank you traud. I think I will stick to my basic version now, and not worry about the permissions. Thanks for the help though.

Cheers,
Rohitesh.

@Tiger79

Perfect! That sounds good. Will implement it. And after am done, will post a comment here, on how it went down with my users!

Note : As this is a hobby project, my users are mostly my...

@Tiger79

Point taken!

I think I will fool around with the NMEA string for a while. Not proceed with the application, till a fair enough Locational Fix can be obtained (will ascertain this by...

@Tiger79

Tiger, I worked on this for the weekend. One question that still eludes me is, with this kind of accuracy, how can anyone develop a reliable LBS on Nokia SmartPhones? What is the way...

@Tiger79

Right after I posted that, I was searching through these forums, and found a number of hits! And pretty much all of them had you in them! :)

Btw, are you with Nokia? I am. Bangalore,...

@Tiger79

Thanks a ton Tiger. Actually, I do know a bit about GPS technology. A coupla years back, I worked on a hobby project, using a uController and a GPS receiver, to record a bunch of...

@Tiger79

So, what is the best way to get accurate GPS fixes, using Nokia phones? Without it, making any kind of Locational Applications would be very difficult.

@traud

And what are the Unofficial options, if any?

Hello,

I am using JSR-179 (code snippet below), to obtain GPS location. However, I am not too happy with the accuracy of the data. I am getting GPS location, which sometimes varies by close to...

Thank you @Tiger79! Silly of me! However, the saving grace was, I didn't actually buy the phone. Was helping a friend in using the app. ;)

Regards,
Rohitesh.

Oh! Thank You @Tiger79. I had wrongly assumed, that the presence of JSR-179 meant the presence of an integrated GPS chip! :(

Rohitesh.

Hello,

I have developed a simple midlet which reads the locational information (using javax.microedition.location.Location) and displays it on the screen. This works perfectly on an E72 (S60 3rd...

@traud

Ok, the scenario is this :
I want to get a stream from the voice recorder, and store the same, as 10second long clips, in the file system. I also want to store an index of the files...

@grahamhughes
Thanks. You are right. I get it twice. Once while opening, and once while doing a fc.canWrite() check. But I am trying to learn File Manipulation. I would like to be able to write to...

Hello,

I am a newbie here.
The problem I am trying to solve is : Create a data file, and write a string to it, without having to prompt permission everytime.
Device : E72
IDE : Eclipse with Sun...

Thanks you. This worked. I got what I was looking for (s/n) at : http://www.forum.nokia.com/Tools_Docs_and_Code/Tools/Request_Serial_Number.xhtml
