    since update

    Had a similar problem several weeks ago. Somehow the Cellular data Connection got turned off. Go to Settings -> Network & Wireless -> Cellular & SIM -> turn on Data Connection.

    Nokia ovi maps is not working on E72-2

    Do you have A-GPS turned on or off (it will incur data charges if its on). Normally I have A-GPS off, and getting a signal for me ranges from instant to almost 15min. What I can do to somehow speed up things, at least apparently from my point of view,
    is to go to the Location application, and open GPS Data, it requests the position you have, and once it locks, your Maps would lock as well.

    Defaults for what exactly? I can only guess what you're talking about in terms of what you'd like to know the default settings for.

    Assuming you mean the privacy settings- O&O Shutup (free) offers an option to reset them to default as I recall.

    As various things can disable Cortana, one can only guess..

    I thought the default setting Location History for your Apps is OFF, except for Cortana which has to be ON to work. I just had a look at my settings they are all OFF except for Maps and Mail and Calendar so maybe the default for those is also now ON and probably has to do with Windows providing me with directions to my calendar events, again something I asked Cortana to help me with.
