Hello
I have a N97 (RM-505) which is currently running 20.2.019. Previously it was running 11.x (don't remember exactly). The problem is that after the upgrade, GPS stopped working: it will never get any signal. I have tried in various places, ranging from the roof of my house to the top of a mountain, with and without cell signal and with and without AGPS (which obviously makes sense only when I have signal). I'm using Applications->Location->GPS Data->Position, which always shows "No connection" and the well-known message "GPS works poorly indoors and in enclosed areas".
Of course all of this was working fine before the upgrade (with the obvious limitations of the GPS signal) and I have checked with a standalone Garmin GPS just in case (it could get signal where the N97 couldn't).
I have tried a hard reset (*#7370#), but the result is the same.
Anyone experienced the same problem?
Thanks

Same happens with 5800's firmware update... Nokia doesn't care to make a beta phase before release any update, they like to test with us.

My GPS is just not working (N97) yet my wife's works fine. Both were bought same day, same place, same time, the only difference is that hers is white, mine is black. Sitting them side by side, hers picks up 4 satellites in about 10 seconds, mine picks up zero in 5 mins. Both are still on the v11 software because they won't update using OVI or NSU.
