AGP Server (supl.nokia.com) - maybe i it sucks?

2 replies · 11,382 views · Started 04 December 2009

I was wondering if Nokia's A-GPS Server sucked for some people. Nokia told me on the phone that it can take up to 25 minutes for your Nokia phone to connect to Nokia server...

Is there some custom A-GPS server address I can use? Or are all Nokia phones limited to connecting only to supl.nokia.com?

It's true that WITHOUT A-GPS enabled or without network coverage, a GPS lock could take up to 25 minutes, but with A-GPS and network coverage you should expect a lock (when you are outside, stationary and with a clear view of the sky) in under 3 minutes.

P.S. I have never had a problem with the default Nokia A-GPS server settings.

dont believe nokia, it only takes a few seconds to connect to the server. it will take about 20 seconds to get a gps lock using a-gps. if you are not using a-gps then it will take 5 or 10 minutes foe a cold lock.
