This app just a tool for GPS test. you can track how many GPS satellites are available to lock your GPS Signal.

Hey, i am currently on Galnet's Miui v2 and i have been on Miui ever since MCG v1. My problem is even though these were all great roms that my compass seems to be not working. I installed the Compass App from the market and North is everywhere expect in the North
I am aware that the changelog of Galnet Miui v2 indicates that the compass and accelerometer should be working flawlessly but mine seems to be defect.
Has anybody an idea how to fix this?
I have the same problem with CM7 on which is MIUI based. I tried to calibrate it few times, but it didn't helped, so i think it's a bug in CM7.
Hi!
I have installed Galnet MIUI v2 rom and have the same problem with compass. And my GPS can't find my precise position, the accuracy is about 1500-2000m. I'm from Europe and does anebody knows what kind of modey is used in this rom. If it's not european, then how can i swith to one. Btw, does anybody knowswhere can i get google maps?
Tnx!
Google maps? On the market if u don't have it, then you'll have to flash gapps.

And you can find more modems here. They should work for miui too. I'm from europe too and i'm using the cyanogenmod default - jv9. Just flash them in cwm... Try more modems and you'll see which works better for you. And to know what modem u r using: go to settings -> about phone and look at baseband version.

I've found .zip file with gapps? but it must be installed throug Recovery vode, is there any way to install them like normal apps, i just don't want to mess things up. And i just need the goole maps and Locator, is it possile to install only them without the rest? Could you tell me about the modem, should i install the jvp or jvo if i'm in europe, or the default one is fine. If i go everything right, then the modem should be installde through CWR?
Gapps:
You have to install it through recovery mode, it shouldn't mess anyting up, but if you are scared, you can still do a nandroid backup. Install this one. If you don't want to install all, you can try playing with the zip, but i won't recommend you to do so or you can try to delete the apks from /system/app. But SGS has enough space for apps, so there's no reason why to do that. I thing you also need Market...not only google maps and locator...at least for installing google maps and locator .
Just flash the zip though CWM and install desired apps from market...
Modem:
I'm from Europe too and i use cm default - jv9. Try more modems and compare signal, battery life, etc... Then use the one which worked best for you and post it here for others . And yes, flash it from CWM as usual.

This seems as it's a network provided location, not the gps one. Is your gps indicator (in status bar...) blinking? If so, wait 'till it stops blinking and then you'll have gps provided location... This can take few minutes
Thank you, that relly helped a lot! I guess i'm going to stik to jvk for a couple of days to see how it works. I'm using galnets miui v2, it has market app and gmail, that's why i was askig about installing gapps separately, though they could cause issues. Going to give it a try. Tnx again!
So you don't need to flash gapps, just install desired apps from market...And if i helped a lot, you can hit my thx button
I know that, but they aren't shown in the market.
To get back on topic here, has anyone gotten the compass to work? I don't get a compass reading at all. I have tried re-flashing the JVP modem, the compass still doesn't give a reading.

nope, can't fix it
Got it, found this googl app in the web. After installation icons maps latitude, laces, and navigation apperared. Exept navigation(for some reason it stuks on navigation avaliability check) everything works fine. But my GPS still can't fund me precise position, it jumps for one place to anotheraround the place where i am. Should i flash another modem? Maybe you couls adviseme how to fix this.
Tnx.
I would try different modems (flash in CWM).

I'm wondering why GPS didn't work for me never on custom roms which had GPS "fixed"? I've been using Floyo 2.2 version stable rom for some time on my X8 and it supported GPS but it didn't worked for me never, just didn't pick the signal even on gps tests, now I'm using latest the new CM7.1.0 STABLE FXP027 with unlocked boot loader and latest kernel and it's says that GPS is roking but it didn't work for me eighter not showing sattelites not picking signal. On stock 2.1 android it worked flawlesly so I doubt it's hardware problem. I also done factory cleaning when I flashed roms/kernels. So here I'm asking what can I do to make it work, where I should start first?
Thanks in advance!
Try "faster fix" app from Market to fix

Thanks it helped I tested it today it works great with Sygic navigation and other GPS software. Thanks again.
the same problem with me, it doesnt even show the gps icon on the statusbar, the gps tester app doesnt show any signal whatsoever, even fasterfix doesnt help as there is no gps!, is there any solution?
Hello!
Has anybody managed to get Sygic fully functioning on ICS ROM? I have tried to install Sygic 11.2.1 on Alba and Criskelo ROMs, but without success. It installs, but acts weird, does not show map and usually crashes.
I am running the ICS stunner Rom and i can confirm that sygic is working for me.
Had to go through the trouble of installing the app and download the maps just for you!!
Work great hear too No problems at all

No problems on imilkas CM9v3, too.
Thanks!
Problem solved. Just had to buy the correct version, 11.2.6. This one works flawlessly.
Im Glad it worked out for you
I remember seeing a Sygic changelog several weeks ago and there was "Android 4.0 compatibility". So just choose the latest version.
I am using the Dark Knight 5.5 ROM with the Devil2_0.94 kernel. I enjoy it but it has a few fatal issues for me:
The GPS doesn't work. At all. I tried A Darky's ROM and it didn't work there either. Tried a lot of GPS-fixing apps. Still no luck. Any tips?
If these issue are unfixable, I would like to ask you guys for a ROM that is smooth, stable and on which everything works. Could be GB or ICS (I would prefer ICS).
Thanks in advance
try again to reinstall this ROM.
I have the big problem with the sound. It doesn't work!!! I always have Silence mode for ringtone and alarm. If i choose the any sound, it works, but after the reboot nothing.
I try to use external software for example Rings Extended but nothing.

The GPS doesn't work and I can't acces the external SD card through the phone(I can't listen to the music or view the photos on the card, neither can I browse through the files. I tried formatting but it fixed nothing)
If these issues are unfixable, I would like to ask you guys for a ROM that is smooth, stable and on which almost everything works. Could be GB or ICS (I would prefer ICS).
Thanks in advance

I tried it but I don't like...
This is how I always trouble-shoot my GPS problems.
1. make sure gps.conf ntp server is changed to match your country.
2. try a few different modems.
3. turn gps off then on in each test. sometimes my GPS doesn't work first time (in this case there will be no sats showing in gpstest)
Make sure you are in a open area and use angrygps or gpstest to see how many sats you are getting and whether they are locking.
When I flashed ICS I couldn't get any lock until I changed modem (currently using JV5 from the latest JW6 rom. But I also got it to work fine with JVU.
Got bad GPS experience with GB and ICS. With ICS there was almost no sats visible (tried CM9 based ROMs TWICS and Remics-UX). I got best results with Darky ROM 9.5.
