GPS Connection slow recently. GPS Satelite Overload?

[aeronic]

ya, i think overload issue not exist.

Gps navigator just serve as receiver, and i do not think that will burden the satelite up there

stop thinking it is a fact

[aeronic]

satellite works like star,moon and sun for gps

hahaha....so you should explain the fact that you keep starring or keeping track of them non stop does not make them more stressed or slower



Bro aeronic, please respect forum rule # 1 first four syllabus, and refrain from such remarks /SB

something happen to our GPS satelite ? overload ? lolz

GPS satellite is just like our radio station. It sends out signals. Even if zero people use it, or 1 million people use it, it makes no difference to the satellite because all the satellite does is continue to send out signals and it does not receive anything back from your GPS device.

Of course, if everyone in a certain area (eg. Malaysia/Singapore) experience slowness in locking, etc. it could be due to some localised problem like maybe intereference from nearby sources, or maybe somebody in that area has some devices that accidentally (or otherwise) emits signals that are in the same frequency as the GPS signals.

If everyone in a large area (eg. Asia), or in the world experience slowness in locking, etc. suddenly for a certain period, then maybe the USA military (who owns and runs the GPS satellites) are doing some adjustments/settings/changes/testing to the satellite or something? But I highly doubt this lah, since they already know that so many services are dependent on their satellites. Of course, if major war (world war?) break out, then different case lah. They have to protect their own interest first.

hmm, the GPS at my Nokia C5 cannot detect satellite, normally, if drive, launch up Garmin or Ovi Maps in 5 seconds can get my exact location already, but today, 1 hour also didnt get any satellite

I think is about y r device, it something eror may be hapen on y r GPS program... Try to swith off & on after that see wat happen, if same problem occour.. must reinstall y r gps program in y r phone..

Yes, you should switch off & on back your phone and test your GPS again. I've encountered the same problem (can't detect satelite)on my phone last week. I restarted my phone and the GPS detected the satelite within few seconds...

Actualy i use my nokia 5800xm GMXT in malaysia is easy to get gps signal, but when i use on china, the gps signal reception is very difficult to get signal. Don't know why

Because of weather?

i think there is cache satellite loc in gmxt to memorize satellite signal, need to reset your gps lock position to clear the cache of nmea data..
try, maybe helps..

now on the Nokia C5 can get already GPS signal, but my HTC P3300 very hard le to get GPS, leave for 10 minutes oso cant detect. but I tried leaving the phone stuck at a place for 3 minutes, it detected... so means if we wanna detect satellite cannot hold the phone or move it?
