Nokia C7 GPS not working after belle update!

[akkudub]

Hi everyone, i had a C7, working great till i updated it with symbian belle.
okay here is what i did.
-my GPS was working on symbian anna with maps version 3.06beta
-i updated the phone to symbian belle from symbian anna.
-installed nokia maps 3.06 beta, and replaced the one that came with the update because it had the option of route planning which the installed map did not.
-this was the first time i checked to see if the GPS was working after the update, and it did not work even after i stood in an open field for half an hour.
-i learned that the latest update of nokia maps in fact had route planning, so i used the nokia PC suite to reset the phone software, and then later updated everything that was listed in the software update app.
-my GPS could still not work after i stood in the same damn field for another half an hour.
-now it will just give approximate positions based on the wireless networks, and not give any accurate position, so i cant use it for navigation anymore.
-i tried running the gpsinfoqt app, and it keeps saying searching for a signal, but it never finds one!

Please help me!! if there is any way i could flash the C7 or run a diagnostic or something so atleast i figure what is wrong!

Try this first. Do a full factory reset using the following procedure should be carried out for hard reset of the Nokia C7 phones:

1. Simultaneously hold the home button, camera button and the volume button.
2. After that with the same buttons you got to click the power on button until the phone vibrates.
3. After the procedure is complete release the power on button while still holding the three buttons simultaneously and you got to wait till you hear the nokia sound.

Now try using old maps version which is pre installed and see if GPS is working.

Still not working then try downloading phoenix service software and flash your phone rom in dead phone mode.
Again try GPS using old maps application.

Alternatively you can try downloading google maps and check if this can lock on to your GPS.
