n97 gps issue fix

I am talking here as a nokia user for the last 15 years.
Today Nokia SUCKS. Nokia phones today look like they have been created by the bunch of road workes, bakerers, keymakers, sewage cleaners, and not the engeneers. Engeneer would know that if you put hard plastic to cove delicat camera lens, and some dust particle comes in, it would scratch camera. Engeneer would know than 128 Mb ram is NOT ENOUGH for runing multiple applications at the same time. And finally an engeneer would defintively try if GPS is working properly before making, i dont know, million phone units.
As we all know, GPS on n97 is terrible, comparing to n95 and n95.8Gb. (Dont know about others, those two i own).
nokia maps constatnly loosing gps connection, leading to constant recalculation. Totaly useless. I went on geocaching trip other day, carrying my 600 euro handset with me, only to return home because i was unable to find geocache, since gps data is way to inaccurate.
There i lost my temper, and when retuned home decided to dissassemble my N97, and find out if there is something that can be done.

This just goes to show how some dude in his house did something that Nokia never bothered to do. Test and trouble shoot the phone. Nokia should hang their head in shame. If Apple wasn't so hell bent on making their customers brainwashed robots i'd have swapped mine for an iphone months ago. Nokia deserves to go out of business and I hope they do.

I have no problems with the gps, the only thing is: it takes forever to connect! But after its connected im ready to go.

Hello, I have the same issues with my N97 and sometimes it just wont fix forever :( I tried the copper wire without any result. What i noticed is that the metal part of the antenna in the sticker is insulated. Is seems like the metal is covered with plastic from underneath as well. So there is no conductivity with the extra copper wire. Did you scratch the sticker to reach to the metal part? Plz help!

Thanks

Omg.. i get avg 10 - 13 m accuracy with my 5800 inside car in stock condition..

but still the gps sucks, takes long time for satellite acquisition and lose connection at times for no reason..
