Official froyo has best gps?

GPS is the biggest factor I look at when I'm going to try a rom.
I've been reading a lot of threads and came to a conclusion that official froyo had a really good gps.
Now I never really had good gps with any rom I tried. Is this worth a try??
And does it really have good gps?

Not for me. No matter what rom I tried if I didn't apply the gpsjm9 zip fix gps sucked eggs all day. Every Captivate is different otherwise Samsuck would have posted a one fixes all solution.

How do you apply the gps fix?

the froyo captivate leaks and some other i9000 roms have the same gps libraries as jm9. it is placebo effect on some roms, on others it helps. the official froyo has a different modem and libraries but i dont care to test them out. i was concidering making a flashable .zip with da_g's fix and jm9 files and some adjustments to what da_g had that i made with guidance from his thread, as well as a modem.bin either jl3 or kp1 but everyones experience is so different that it would be useless. half the comunity would say it doesn't work and the other half would say great job even though i would just be using mostly someone elses work. bottom line is you just need to try stuff.
modem.bins make a big difference!
data/gps/secgps.conf needs to agree with lbs test mode
jupiter.xml needs to agree also.
some leaked roms would crash the glgps daemon if the above files weren't in agreement
the newwer glgps daemons seem to work better
some modem.bins need different gps libraries than others.
basically the hardware can work satisfactorily but not exceptionally (not that any phone does) with some tweaks, i dont know what samsung did wrong but the fix seems to be different for everyone.
my best setup for driving is da_g fix for control plane. (forced pedesrtian mode in jupiter.xml to get true output which is better for testing the accuracy, but it might not be better for tracking, plumb bob's fix doesn't force pedestrian mode so try both)
set gps for standalone in lbs test mode, dynamic accuracy is off. supl setting set to control plane and supl.google.com
accuracy set to 95 in both lbs test mode and data/gps/secgps.conf
use kp1 modem. jl3 also works great but shows fewwer satalites
also msbased agps can help you get a faster lock, use plumb bob's fix, and set to ms based in lbs or use da_g's fix and change secgps.conf to MSBASED
try different modems, try different accuracy settings. try dynamic accuracy and gps plus on or off, if you really get into da_g's first post try setting attenuation to deal with backround noise, ect.ect.

There is an app there in apps section thread about telenav it is free for basic gps function (it is not on the market but you can download it at their site). i already installed it myself yesterday but haven't tried it yet seems other user found it to be a great app compared to stock and other moded gps app in custom roms. Maybe you can try it and test who knows maybe it works, others have positive outcome of it. I think it is just a new post so you can still find it easily on the thread and there are instructions also posted.

Actually I wound up changing my fix to force pedestrian mode too in more recent versions, though unlike da_g I kept position smoothing enabled. It's a matter of finding the right cocktail of configurations and compromises for the most users in the most situations, but not everyone's needs are the same.

GPS Problem... tried everything...

Hey there.
I used CM7 for a while and everything worked fine. (GPS included)
Suddenly my phone started to turn off during night und it could just be started again when puling the battery.
Thats why I switched to Amnon 1.0 Rom (which is btw. the best v20 based Rom I've ever tried so far).
Everything is working great except GPS.
I can't get it to work.
It's not a Rom issue because other users are reporting GPS is working fine...
I tried the GPSFix.zip for Nokia SUPL
I tried to add the Nokia SUPL manually
I tried to Use the LGE SUPL instead of google
I tried FasterFix app und gps status...
Nothing worked..
Any ideas ?

Have you tried turning your gps on-rebooting with gps on-and trying to connect?
Worked for me and many others =)

Yes.. already tried this...my gps is allways on...
I tried the method to overwrite service.jar with new one whcih I found here in xda-Forum... maybe this will work.. I'll try when I'm outside this building (Nobody gets GPS inside)

I used the services.jar fix aswell as the leaving the gps on and doing a reboot. So try that combination =)

Galaxy S GPS Can't find satelites

I Deffinitly Tried everything, I tried the hardware fix, Change The Pool To Israel, France, Europe, everywhere, I tried the gps doctors , nothing works..
I just can't find any satelites, in the gps aid app when i press the GPS doctor it's telling me that the gps status is off.. is there anything that I didn't try and could work?
Please, I'm Desprit..
I Tried and the problem is at every rom
I'm Right now using ICS RC3.1 By onecosmic..

try gps status , to see if is an app error from navigator and other gps programs or RC3.1 probleme , and if are ICS probleme try first to flash devil led kernel
and a wipe cache

I though onecosmic's RC 3.X was only for the i9000 and not i9001.

Well I Tried and looked at the gps status, I didn't really get what am i sepoused to do there, I reset and cleared all gps data and downloaded it after wards..
the app didn't show any errors ..

Try to get GPS Aids from market. Had the same problem and that fixed my gps

Tried the gps aids too... Ain't working.. anything else?...
When I tried the gps doctor at gps aids, it showed me that the gps mode status is not working (the cube near it is red) and after trying the setup and the fix everything possibility it still ain't working... any idea?

Try to download the GPS test and install it, then go to settings and select clear agps, then update agps.
Oh and dont try the gps inside your house! Try it in the middle of the street! Gps signal is always reeeally weak or undetectable inside a house.

Unhappy to say, still didn't work!

Can you post the exact ROM and kernel version you are using?
Also try the following. Disable wifi, reboot phone, try GPS test.
I had GPS problems a while ago and the workaround was to boot the phone with wifi disabled. Something todo with init scripts messing up GPS/BT.
When in Google maps do you get the GPS icon in the status bar when trying to GPS fix?

try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STlb...xt=C3c039cbUDOEgsToPDskJOGd0pTyqyB6SPWL6OcwDB

Better to just send it back to samsung for them to fix if it's under warranty. If not, just sell it and get another one. I really like my SGS but i've given up hope for gps. I've just accepted it doesn't work and be happy the phone's great in everything else (like sound). Was kind of gutted having paid so much for a phone with a non-working gps but to be honest i have little need for a gps so when i need one i just use a dedicated one.

Now I'm using RC4.2 ICS By Onecosmic, Gps Still aint working well, I do get the gps icon... but still, my location ain't really accurate and I cant navigate or anything..
I tried the video that have been posted, None improvment...
Is there any thing else?..

The GPS issue with the i9000 is a mystery to me. I've tried software and hardware fixes to no avail with GB based ROMs. However, when I switched to Slim's ICS ROM my device started to register satelites again with the GPS test app from the market. Despite this when I open the maps app it takes forever to get a fix, so long infact that I give up long before it ever does

Same issue AOKP Milestone 4 ICS. Nothing on GPS Status.

I use market app GPS aid.

[FIX] GPS Fixes

Hi,
So I've noticed alot of people have problems with their GPS from time to time on these forums so I've decided to collate any and all fixes into one place. Here they are:
NOTE: I'm not responsible for any harm done to your phone. These suggestions are tried at your own risk. These steps can be taken in any order you want and a reboot is recommended after you try each step.
First thing you can do to get accurate fixes is to go to the Location settings on your phone. Tick the boxes next to 'GPS Satellites' and 'Google's location service' (Press agree when the prompt comes up). Also click 'GPS Source' and make sure 'Use Internal GPS' is selected.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Second thing you can do is download the 'GPS Status & Toolbox' app from the market. Once installed go into the app and hit Menu and then select Tools. From the popup menu select Manage A-GPS state. Select Reset and then Download. Reboot and see if you can get a fix now.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It is recommended you have a Nandroid backup before trying anything below.
Third thing you can do is download this GPS Fix made for the Legend (From Kot_Ik’s CM7.2 unofficial thread). Put it on your SDCard and reboot to recovery and flash it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Fourth thing you can do is flash a new radio in recovery. Get one from here. Try the bottom 2 first before trying the top one. This doesn't seem to be supported in the latest versions of CWM so you should load an earlier fake flash zip file. Go here for the recovery and instructions (Thanks ranger4740)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Last thing I can think of is to change ROM's and see if that fixes anything.

That's all folks. If you're reading this part and your GPS still isn't working then I've got no idea what's going to fix it

This is not needed for old stable releases and was fixed a few weeks ago (so recent RCs and nightly builds already contain that bugfix).

Ali Ba, as you are the legend master, can you please explain why my legend could never achieve GPS lock on ANY version of CM, stable or not, no matter how long my phone tried until I started using the GPS fix mentioned above. I ask because you are the master, and you did say its not nessasary. So that advice is a bit confusing.

It is a config file parsed per line. This means that there shouldn't be any new line characters for lines that the system has to interpret as one.
It's perfectly OK to use a local NTP-server, by the way. It just doesn't fix problems at all. The short differences in the time the packets take to be sent and received are eliminated by the NTP protocol anyway.
Most so called "GPS fixes" are bogus at best (using the newest baseband firmware is something I'd recommend though).

This fix gps.agps.legend.zip is not for CM9. If you flash this, you are flashing a lib which nobody knows where is from.

Exactly, it is for CM7 Kot_Ik, because it is built in that rep for that version, only clarifying for avoid to see posts from people flash CM7 libs on CM9, because it is not the way.

Ok, what I have noticed so far using legend. Don't mess with gps.conf using other custom gps.conf I've use some before (instant lock) and its bogus as Ali ba put it.
Just use faster fix is enough.
OK, now currently I'm on zuebes cm9 and GPS works but getting it to lock is something else. And I love my waze.
I'll get in my car and start waze. Wait for a minutes or 2 than start moving. Lock or no lock, just start moving. Don't drive so fast but stay constant either 40kmh or 60kmh will do just fine. My lock usually happens when I stop at a junction or a traffic light or slow down before a corner.
Then when you lock for the first time. You can combo for the next trip as long as you on your waze at the same spot before leaving. It's instant lock for some cases but need to start over if it does not lock. Assume you use waze.
But if GPS is important. Use stock based rom and ogo2s rom also have good GPS if I remember well... I think its something about HTC didn't release GPS source that we ended up like this.

You know, that's not even something I have to do (as if I was getting paid for support), I'm doing it because I'm basically a nice guy.
And then you, another random "I know how to register an account so let's attack people"-user, shows up. Thanks, you're welcome. Oh, I was right, by the way. The files are broken. The fixes don't work.

That's right. There's a bug somewhere in the GPS module but we never got any sources so we don't really know how to work around it. The GPS module on the Legend doesn't have public sources so we hacked together some code from different versions. It works pretty well - once it starts working.
I sometimes can't get a GPS fix either when I started the device with GPS turned off or after toggling GPS a few times. Yeah, it is broken and I am aware of that.
The only "solutions" that really work are rebooting your device with GPS and mobile internet connection turned on. This lets it download AGPS data, inject the current time into the module and you'll get a fix within 20 seconds.
Using the latest radio (=baseband firmware) for your region has been reported to kickstart GPS as well. That's the only fix I can confirm, everything else is shenanigans and you should get your money back .

By quoting me you are implying I'm some one that only knows how to register and start attacking people, how did I attack you, most people here know your the master who gave us all cm for our legend which is wonderful, and I simply asked you as you are the expert to explain how? Then you come back with your B.S answer attacking me, for no real good reason Instead of explaining humanly the answer, you also imply I attack people, when all I do here is try and learn to do stuff, and help others when I can.
Any way best you add me to your ignore list then you won't have to see me attack and abuse every one on xda developers ever again! Hey better still report me to the mods and get me permanently band from xda forums if you've seriously got some evidence of constaintly attacking members.

ugh! this is unnecessary fighting, ali ba might just misunderstood ranger4740 questions, cos it sound corny at first look but if you read it again it's just a genuine question.
about gps fixes, we should trust the expert, yes this won't work as ali ba said there's some bugs in gps module. This fixes might work on other devices but I wonder if it does anything for our Ancient Legend

Agree. Back on topic

...So I am using Zeubea's ICS ROM (BETA3) and my GPS isn't working.
I have refreshed the AGPS-data and flashed the newest (?) radio (7.13.35.05).
In what way is the radio dependent on my geographical location? I live in Sweden, am I using the correct radio?
I get no lock, but I get accuracy of roughly 2km. How is this?
Also, I'm searching for an app to see how many satelites I am connected to, havn't found one yet.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated - thank you in advance ♥

try using mobile data to get a good starting point (google's location service), also check gps source in location settings, and then try to get the precise location somewhere with a good view of sky....every next time it'll be faster, (you can even disable google's location service if you don't like it being turned on,it should still work faster than the first time after flashing)
edit: i just tried what i wrote above and got fix in no time,even from my room,using zeubeas cm9 beta3 freshly flashed... so, enable mobile data for a brief time until you get gps lock then you can disable it if you wish

[Q] CM11 GPS issue with Glonass

My phone is on unofficial CM11 developed by @laufersteppenwolf.
The GPS is working but just couldn't lock any Glonass satellite. I have tried almost all gps.conf in XDA that claim to fix GPS with no lock.
In particular, I tried the patch from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455885.
Still, my phone doesn't capture any Glonass satellite.
The hardware side should be fine as it can lock normal U.S. GPS satellites.
But without the help of Glonass, the locking takes much longer time.
Anyone shares the same symptom? Could it a bug in the existing CM11 build?

Tested topNTP?
This app solved my problem with gps in customROMs.
Maybe can help in your case. :fingers-crossed:
Best Regards.

Thanks but I've tried topNTP already.
It seems that the phone has never attempted to download any XTRA file no matter what gps.conf is in place.
It seems your phone is working as it is supposed to be. May I know which ROM you're on?
