Help on GPS in CM10 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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".

[Q] GPS fix from Captivate?

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)

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

Did you flash CSC, modem and PDA? Try doing that.. Also, try doing a factory reset and wiping cache
You can use "gps aids" a new app that can download a-gps data for yours region.Program to be found on this forum in development section.

GPS Probs After New Baseband

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...

Just flashed the new baseband and RIL and saw your post. Started Sygic Aura inside by my window and fix within 5 sec. And don't seem that I have problems with datacomms either... sorry
I have a problem with GPS, too. I am in VietNam, Rom Fr12

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?
