How to disable A-GPS in Nokia 5800

Nokia 5800 comes with an integrated GPS device. Besides, Nokia 5800 also support Assisted GPS (A-GPS), and it is turn on by default.

A-GPS could help the phone to connect to the satellite faster. However, A-GPS requires the internet connection. Therefore, if you are not subscribed to the unlimited data plan package, you may want to disable the A-GPS support.

My ignorance of this issue had cost me a few hundreds Ringgit.

To disable the A-GPS support in Nokia 5800, follow this steps:

  1. Press the white Menu button.

  2. Select Apps.

  3. Select Location.

  4. SelectPositioning.

  5. Select Positioning Methods.

  6. Select Assisted GPS, and select Disable.
