Okay, so to sum this up, we have one person that gps is not working at all, and a handful of people that finds supl.nokia to work but not as good as what supl.google did before?
Does anybody know if google changed its coding, etc.? Also, are there any other alternatives to supl.google.com or supple.nokia.com for gps? With google no longer apparently working, and with nokia just providing a rough gps location, it would be nice to have a good alternative.
I decided that I will try to disassemble the phone before taking it to service (if it is just an alignment problem maybe I can fix it).
I have a couple questions about:
1. If I disassemble the phone I lose my warranty?
2. In the L1 & L2 service manual, it says that the screws must not be reused, but I have none other .. whether I use it again is a problem?
3. If the GPS chip is dead, and I'm obliged to bring it in service point, I must pay for repair it?!
If our situations were reversed, I think I would try Nokia first, sounds like you are still under warranty so it is something they are obliged to correct for you, for free.
1. It's possible. Technically yes, your warranty is void, but it depends if they notice.
2. I always reuse after scraping away the blue glue they stick on them. Just give them a bit of a clean first and they are as good as new.
3. This is perhaps what I would try to do first, yup, a dead GPS module is something Nokia will be obliged to fix for free under warranty since it's not something you can actually break through normal operation.
Good luck sir, I hope you get your N900 up and running again quickly.
