      Nicholas HallAug 22, 2025
      If you can't see a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point with your Nokia Cell Phone, even when you're in range, it might be using a hidden service set identifier (SSID). You can only access networks with a hidden SSID if you know the correct SSID and have created a Wi-Fi internet access point for the network on your device.

    Why is the GPS not working on my Nokia N900?
    • J
      Jose MooreSep 3, 2025
      A GPS connection may take longer to establish in a vehicle. If you're indoors, try going outside for a better signal. If you're already outside, move to a more open area. Make sure your hand isn't covering the GPS antenna. Bad weather may affect the signal strength, and some vehicles have tinted windows that can block satellite signals.
