Hello:
I need a list with all the gps related files.
I'm triying to make a CWM update with the JI6 gps files.
The reason I'm triying to do this its because JI6 was the only rom at the moment wich gave me acceptable GPS.
Thanks in advance.
Whipon.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I have a rev 1006 Captivate.
Usually I see from 6 to 8 sats, but never get a lock.
I've tried several roms (rogers froyo, JPY, WSJ3, Adromeda) with the same results.
I can't get a lock.
With JI6 I got a lock in seconds.
gps is funny and i think the files you are reffering to are the same on several roms since ji6. actually ji6 would crash the gps daemon on my phone if i changed the lbs test settings. and as far as i can find ji6 jj4 and jm9 and many other i9000 roms all have the same libraries. whatever the other differences may be it might be hard to find the files and they might not work on x rom
if i where you id try the gps restore app. i can tell you it doesnt do what the description suggests because i have used it and it doesnt set lbs settings to stock. my lbs changes remain after i run the app. also it clears gps data that lbs test mode doesn't. a gsm reset or factory reset can fix some gps problem if the problem is in data. the gps restore app seems to have a similar effect but you dont need to backup your apps to use it like a factory reset. if it doesnt work youve wasted 2 minutes to install and run it.
read da_g's first post in his thread and then read it again. try all of his fixes and make sure the lbs settings match the config and jupiter files for each fix. i find that the control plane version works the best for me.
also have you tried the ji6 modem on those roms? the modem is critical. some modems get better reception and may also pickup more noise. you may need to attenuate the signal, noise may be preventing a fix, the signal can be attenuated in jupiter.xml. or you may need a stronger signal, maybe ji6 modem is giving you better reception.
Well, it seems it worked
Well, I'm editing the post, because it worked.
Changed all settings in LbsTestMode to the default Darky ones.
Cleared gps data.
Then loaded Gps Restore and it successfully completed all tasks.
Got a gps lock in seconds with 25 meters accuracy.
Its far better than nothing.
Thank you very much for your help .
Its not working well
Well, tried the gps with LbsTestMode and I get a lock as I said with 25 meters accuracy.
However Ndrive can't give me my current position. It shows me in at least 100 meters from I really am, in some random street.
Google Maps has a 1500 meters accuracy.
All is left is tweaking jupiter.xml.
I don't want to use JI6 modem because it doesn't support HSDPA.
Currently I'm using JK4.
It seems its fixed
Well, did some tweaks to jupiter.xml and after a reboot I got a lock in around 5 seconds with a 10 meters accuracy.
I noticed my jupiter.xml had the spirent supl server instead of the google one.
All tests were done in my house. I have to test it tomorrow in the street.
I will post my results tomorrow ^^.
Hi guys,
ok, my GPS has not worked on my Galaxy S for a long time now. I am always flashing new roms, kernals and it may be something to do with that.
Currently I am running the MUIU Beta rom, but it hasnt worked on previous roms like Darkys.
I decided to download GPS aids from the market ro run some tests.
It downloads the LTO test file, but is unable to copy it.
It says "The application cannot copy files from SDcard to a SYSTEM folder. Maybe it is a busybox problem"
Busybox 1.18.4 is installed to /sbin/
GPS aids has superuser permissions
Google maps hasnt been able to get a fix for a long time. GPS Test cannot find any satelites.
Not sure what I did to cause this problem, but can it be fixed?
Is this a hardware issue?
I know it sounds silly, but do you have your wireless turned on when you are trying to use your GPS? After flashing to 2.2 on my Galaxy S, I found that I couldn't get a GPS lock without having my wireless turned on!
Edit: My original thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986151
Thanks for the quick answer.
Yes the Wifi is switched on, but nothing. Not even one satelite.
The funny thing is that the GPS used to work great. A lot of people werent happy with it but I had no problems.
I got a lock within 10 seconds. I just dont know what I have done to stop it working! lol
Flashing roms you may now have a bad modem or wrong set up especially as you have a beta rom and darky rom .
I would flash stock with pit 512 and reparation checked in other words build a clean phone .

Have you tried the gps test app to see if it is at least seeing the gps satellites or possibly getting a lock?

Hi, yes Ive tried that app. It doesnt find any satelites at all. Nothing!
Unfortunately, I really can't think of anything else. Sadly I believe JJEgan's advice above maybe the only other option
This thread has another possible option http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974702
You may also want to check out the GPS settings on the phone. I'd have to search the forums for the code that gives you access to them.
*#*#1472365#*#* for 2.1 Eclair.
*#*#3214789650#*#* for 2.2 Froyo.
Not sure, but give this a try... my i9000 can get a gps lock in about 5 seconds with no wifi.
Download Fasterfix from the marketplace.
Run it and choose the region that you are in.
In the Location settings, turn off "Use wireless networks" and turn on "Use GPS Satellites"
Go into the LbsTestMode
*#*#1472365#*#* for 2.1 Eclair.
*#*#3214789650#*#* for 2.2 Froyo.
Application settings - Operation mode - Standalone
Application settings - Accuracy - 100
SUPL/CP Settings - Auto Config
Re-boot your phone
Go back into the LbsTestMode
Get Position Test - Let it run for at least 3 minutes while your phone is outside (clear sky view).
Delete GPS Data.
Hopefully that will work for you as well. I was unable to get a GPS lock without wifi prior to this, and now my GPS locks perfectly on its own.
2.2.1
I9000UGJL2
Voodoo 5.4.1
Darky's v9.3.XWJS5
Hello
I have just got my note, sadly google maps didn't determind my location till I turned on AGPS. I tried to use gps status to check for sats with no results after 10 min, I knew something were wrong. I root the device & installed lbstest mod & tried to get position. With no results, I tried to check hardware test for gps, also no sat were found, I changed the mods nothing occur.
I tried to change my csc into open europ. & did all check again,& no improvements.
I installed oden & tried to install a complete wipe rom; codec, modem, csc. Open version Still can't get any sat on any gps app.
Samsung middle east says you should pay for changing inboard 400 $ as it not purchased for the main country dealer, as I moved to ksa; as if they know nothing about softcodes.
I also tried to use other pool like Asia or global, niether any results
I checked alogcat to check.. But I couldnt understand much,
Please somebody help.
Moved To Q&A
Please post questions in the Q&A section
mine is similar sometimes, i can wait forever and it wont find a single satelite, but once I reboot it will find and fix onto 10+ satelite within seconds.
I think mine is just a software glitch, its irritating but i can live with it.

It seems to be hardware issue, as i m first time hearing GPS issue on Note.
Anyway if this can help you, take a chance.
Download 'faster fix' from market. And try changing pool from application.
GudLuck!
I already installed fast fixer with no results, if it were a hardware issue, how could we insure it,like a script or gps chip and antenna checker,reading the alogcat show ; gps is on but receiving fix,
Had same problem, then I just deleted old a-GPS data and redownload new one. Then fix within seconds. Try that first and see if it works better.
Re Galaxy note No gps fix No Sat
Sadly I delete the old AGPS Data & update it, with same result, I checked CoPilot with no Sat, I checked GPS Status again, no improvements, I think its Software problem, missing Data " interperting between Software & Hardware" missing Lib or Code.
I ve already attached alogcat, hopefully someone could advice
Regards
I strongly suggest you go back to square one and work from a stock, known good, reliable (as in working on tens of thousands of others), operating system.
Until then you are simply throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks.. this is not a scientific engineering approach... so start by helping others help you.
Thanks
Sorry for disturb, i just wanted to insure that i ve tried several abrouchs. If anybody could suggest a complete wipe nand & boatloader, codec,...... I dont mind i. Any comment is helpfull to me just make sure somone read the alogcat i already posted
GPS Hardware fault !

Please,upload photos,i have the same problem!:fingers-crossed:
Hi All,
I got problems getting gps fixes in Germany (Aachen)
In fact, i wont get any gps fix at all, i tried the app "gps status" but nothing happens.
i tried changing the pool servers in gps.conf to de.pool and europe.pool servers,
set near countries (be, nl, lu, fr) as secondary servers and nearly every gps fix thread i found in the last 2 weeks but still nothing works
second mysterius thing is that in my hometown (Duisburg, germany too) there is no problem with my gps connection and i got a fix in like 30seconds.
i dont know if that problem occurs because Aachen is really near to 2 countrie's frontiers but i really ran out of ideas what to try :/
no matter how hard i try to find something myself or edit the gps.conf my gps status keeps like this all the time (attachment)
please help me :/ (and excuse my bad english *blush*)
1. Try "GPS test" from the market. This app will show you the satelites and their position. If after about 20 min. outdoor nothing is showed you have a hardware or rom-problem.
2. If a sat. is shown mybe you have wrong configuered firewall. I don´t remember the process which get the gps-position by the servers.
3. I had never problems with any server, all works fine for me, but with the app "fasterfix" you can change them and give an european a try.
Hope can help you.
1. When im in a good position GPS test and GPS status occasionally see a satellite or two, but they disappear as fast as they appear :/
2. i dont use a firewall at all, i think.. is there a android standard firewall or something?^^
3. i tried fasterfix and some gps.conf tricks from xda, too
also i tried adding or changing different pool.ntp.org servers in my gps.conf
but nothing helps :/
the real funny thing is, that saturday and sunday i was in Duisburg and used GPS for Running and Cycling (Endomondo 30km~) and had nothing near a problem, no edge or something that could indicate gps problems, satfix in under 1 minute and stuff.
Now, back in Aachen, most gps using apps tell me there is even no gps available :/
the hardware and rom didnt changed at all, i really dont know why this mean little thing wont work
thanks for your reply btw!
You should get a gps-fix with gps-test outdoor within 20-30min without an internet-access. Be patient, due a totally new allocation via gps without server-support can take a lot of time (sat-search, time-fixing …). Sats appear and disapper, this is normal during a totally new allocation. After this you can discard a hardware/ROM – problem.
If this work, you can search for the server-access issue to get a faster gps-fix.
P.S.: Android normally haven’t a firewall in stockROM and your attachment in your first post can’t be shown.
The attachment was just a screenshot of GPS status showing no satellites, but trying.^^
so i will try to go out and let that little mean phone search the sky for satellites now^^
humpf... no effect at all...
Then I recommend to go back to stock-ROM (without root of course) an contact the LG support and send it back (don’t forget nandroid backup!). Maybe try it a last time with stock-ROM 30 min outdoor before (to get sure).
It seem to be a hardware defect. The phone don’t get enough signal strength (maybe antenna contact).
Good luck!
May be you can try ny method because i'm using it and it works onder for me..

gps fix
try to look up your countries ntp.pool.org adress.
add it to gps file.
google that.
if you have no clue. download -gps fix- or similar) from market. it has a blue/pruple icon.
this app is not from me, bu it makes it easy to replace the standard ntp adress witha local one.
The standard one = usa based. for me, on my phones, this ment i had 300 to 400 ms ping to get the gps time correction signal (~ntp).
this might improve your gps "location fix" speed. that might thus solve your problem, ebcause after that gps doesnt have to keep trying to find or keep correcting the signal.
in short. if your problem is caused by bad or no fixing the timings of gps (which it always needs to do). then gps will keep trying untill it does get a good fix.
also. disable gps if not used.
hope this helps
btw: yuo talk about the gps signal that drops right?
