No Assisted GPS

Q. I'm having problems with the GPS on my Nokia smartphone - sometimes it will lock in a few seconds and other times, usually while driving, it can take tens of minutes. What's wrong? The only oddity is that I don't have a SIM card in it - I have a cheap throw-it-around phone and use the phone as a PDA, Wi-Fi Internet appliance, music player and camera. And sat-nav - when it's working!

Keeping my place in Podcasting

Q. I've been experimenting with Nokia's Podcasting application and gradually finding some Internet podcasts that I really enjoy. I have a question though. If I interrupt playback of a long podcast to go back to the main directory in order to check for updates to other podcasts, the application loses my place and I have to guess where I got to, which can be very frustrating. Surely it's not supposed to work this way?

Easier contact bar feeds

Q. Having bought the Nokia 5800, partly for its innovative contact-centric homescreen, I can't believe how hard the contact feeds are to set up. It seems as thought the set-up wizard wants me to look up and type in each feed for each contact by hand, using the on-screen keyboard. Surely there's got to be a better way?

Resetting the predictive text list

Q. How do I reset the list of words in the predictive text system? I've got a few annoying typos in my phone!

Hidden transitions

Q. I've got a friend with a Nokia 5800 and his device has all manner of whizzy screen transitions whereas my 5800 doesn't. I can't find a setting for this anywhere, however much I delve into the 5800's menus. Does it depend on where we got our 5800s from?

microUSB charging problems

Q. My new smartphone isn't charging very fast via its microUSB port. Is microUSB limited in this way? Each charge is taking five hours!

How can I avoid duplicate contacts when syncing to Ovi? Syncing is broken

Q. Through changing devices, I've ended up in the situation where my contacts are fine on my S60 phone and look fine on Ovi, but when I try syncing, I end up with either missing data (phone numbers) or duplicate entries. The syncing's well and truly broken and there don't seem to be any Ovi tools to fix it.

Why won't my Calendar entry repeat?

Q. I'm trying to set up some repeated entries in S60 Calendar, to remind me of various weekly chores, but even though I mark them as repeated 'Weekly', after pressing 'Done' they change back to 'Not repeated'. What's going on?
