Exactly...I wish we had magnetometer in the phone...which would have made us not to depend on active serving cell ids for the fine accuracy position.

But when once you connect to the near by Wifi ,,,you can Check in for sure,,I checked some 7 times on wifi till now from firefox browser.

But Laughing Man we all are waiting for your valuable observation and feedback on this.

Thanks
Even using wifi I still can't check in. I get the same error message I received before. Is there anything else you did to check in with wifi?

When U lock the device on wifi...go on to website touch.facebook.com.....after that hit the places near by tab...right after that ur gps tries to get in to picture....go in to gps options and uncheck both postioning and nokia server... which means you are turning of ur gps..after locking it on to one postion....

so basically after unchecking both the options of gps...what ever location you check in near ur location..it will checkin with out any failure...let me know if still have any problem..
Thanks all

I can't get this to work either. Not much point if you can only check in with WIFI? Apparently works in firefox though I've yet to test.

Whats all this rubbish about having to be in the USA? - it opened to the UK today and is working - as all my mates are spamming their profiles with locations.... as though i wanted to know my mate was at work, didnt have to be a detective to figure that one out!

Doesnt the n900 GPS only work with the wifi working properly? or has that bug been fixed?!


Will give it a try on the n900 tonight though.

I think when Facebook first unveiled it, it was limited to the USA.
