Hi,
My cellphone is from Germany. But i live in Brazil, and my GPS wont work.
I have android 2.3.4 (unrooted) with stock rom, based on v20n.
Anybody can help me?
Thanks
Use Gps status and toolbox app from market, download assisted gps data in that app so it will connect gps relatively faster than nw. As ypu are on unrooted rom u cant do more than this btw...

Thanks again.

In this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881941 there is a nice GPS fix for samsung captivate. Do the captivate have the same chip for GPS than I9000? Can we flash that update to our i9000?
It would be very nice!
If the fix seems to not improve your phone's gps, here is an update.zip that restore the original settings (JPY)
Wrong section.
Anyways, it did help me with my gps. I've been using it since Christmas.
I'm using the google version.

I've tried the google version and my gps isn't better... It seems very bad...
Anyone with jpy firmware can post his /data/gps/secgps.conf so I can make an update.zip to restore the original settings?
jpy already has most of those changes integrated.. ie it can use more than 8 satellites and ones under 20 signal which is basically what that fix did.. here is original file.
but i have changed mine to cold start mode.. i still get fixes in under 10 secs.
In the first post there is an update.zip which restore the original settings
Hi guys,
I just recently flashed the 1035.21_20110405 baseband...
My phone came with the 20110218 baseband.
However, after flashing the baseband, i seem to have data connectivity and GPS problems.
GPS cannot lock me on even after 5 minutes. (i stopped trying after that)
Data also occassionally disconnects itself, and seems to reset the sim as though the phone just booted [but it doesn't] request the sim pin])
I've seldom had this when i was with the 20110218 baseband.
Does anyone have the 20110218 baseband or know how to check the phone's supl setting???
Did you also flash the new RIL? I think [email protected] has made an update.zip for stock, if that's what you're running.

I'm running f12, so it should be already there..

Hm. I'm on fr12 as well, and though I don't use gps much, I've never had problems getting a fix.
I do use the EternityProject 1.3 kernel, but I'm not sure if that would make a difference...

i had the same problem...but I used some calibration software for gps i can't seem to recall the name now sorry gps toolbox or something like that
You have to flash fixgps.zip it should work then but i havent time yet to checkt it by myself if it realy works! And of course you need to have the older version of maps installed to navigate!

I have tried gps status and other apps.. the problem is it dont even see the satellite, locking the satellite is far away thing..
Before that, on stock froyo it worked very well.. but now messed up.. no gps signal or anything.. is it problem on cm7 or what else?

Those 2 guides show you how to root your phone very very very simple. The youtube is the visual guide and the second one is just reading guide...
Root n install barnacle
Why not just root, open BL, flash custom kernel (nAa-13), flash custom rom (MiniCM7). If I'm not wrong then there is a bug with many roms, when screen turnes off then WiFi tether stops...
Btw easiest way to root is with flashtool..

For me just root and barnacle is not enough. It still doesn't work.
Do I need to change ROM and,or kernel???
I'm actually with stock kernel and ginger dx 028b.
Thanks for any help!

I can't remember but you need to have ip tables if your on stock kernel.

Could you be more clear on this? Doesn't work like what?
I've tried it once, it works. Only need rooted phone and barnacle
*Sorry for my bad english
YES, Barnacle works fine with GingerDX v028b BUT only how ADHOC Hotspot (no infrastructure) so you can not connect to it many devices like Kindle Reader, Wii, etc. which don't implement the ad-hoc access...
Actually I'm using my GingerDXv28b+Alf8a+Addons007 with Barnacle to get internett access to my notebook connected in adhoc hotspot to X8 and all works very fine.
Thanks all for the great help in advance !
I need that to give my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" the connection. Just that.

No, it doesn work.
Barnacle says it's creating the network but the tablet can't find any network.

I have the doubt can be kernel-related. it's all the morning i'm trying to put Alf kernel instead of the default one, but I cannot succeed that...

definetely solved my problem
I flashed alf kernel and HDPrime rom and everything started working
Now I have a great hotspot.
Unfortunately HDPrime rom is not as good as GingerDX (i.e. brightness control is not working plus something else)...but pretty fast and for the moment I can deal with it.
So thanks everybody for the help, I'll try other rom's in a future hoping to find the "complete" one.
I have installed the latest weekly stable jb ROM with CM10 in my galaxy s. Everything works perfect but facing issues with GPS. It can hardly get any GPS fix. After flashing I didn't get any fix yet.
Please help me to get the GPS fix.

Do you tried the GPS Hardware Fix for the SGS ?
Before trying the hardware fix, download Fasterfix from the play store and see if that solves the problem

NO. I didn't try the hardware fix yet. I am afraid to do that. My gps was fine in froyo and also in gb roms. Only in cm10 it is causing problem.

If you are restoring your GPS SatNav application from a previous back-up, you should always clear the data of that application.
In my experience, unless i cleared the data of my GPS SatNav, i can't get a GPS fix.
Upon clearing the data, i get a very fast GPS fix, < 10 sec.

Just go to settings/apps/all apps. Select the app you are using (in my case it is Samsung Navigon) and click the "clear data".
