Hi,

Are you trying to connect to an application or hardware device? I believe Symbian will have dedicated COM ports for these things. Our Whitepaper may help.

If you are looking for this infomartion to DEVELOP software, or link to a hardware device, try out our Developer World Forum here.

Hope that helps.

Got it sorted now. If you don't let it connect to network for a GPS signal it takes about 20 minutes to get a signal.

Either follow this thread

To fix the assistance data:

press Red Green Red Red Green Rred. (Note two reds in the middle)

Go to "Service tests " option

Go to "GPS" option (oh, the list isn't alphabetically sorted)

Select "Purge Assistance data".

This made mine seem alot more sensitive and pick signals up very quickly

It should help
