    I recently bought an N95 from ebay for €260, brand new and unlocked. However I cannot get the GPS to work on it at all. I tried someone elses GPS to see was I doing things the correct way. I seem to have been, his was picking up around 6/7 satellites however mine only picks up 1 or 2 max for a short while with little or no signal and they then just go away again.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    €260 sounds very little for a genuine N95.

    Notwithstanding the above,
    1 what firmware version is it - press *#0000#
    Version 12.0.013 is the latest version and is better than previous versions for GPS

    2. Is there branded firmware and if so what network? The Nokia generic firmware would obviously avoid any glitches caused by network customisation

    3. If the phone was originally network locked and "unofficially" unlocked may have an affect. "unofficial" unlocking involves a very invasive procedure and may adversely affect other features.

    I have that firmware version, it was branded to the Vodafone UK network but I upgraded the firmware and this debranded it for me.
    the GPS was not working before I done this either.

    To be honest the phone seems really genuine, it came in a VF box with all Vodafone branding.

    How could I spot this if that was the case?
