GPS problem

My N1 is very difficult to fix GPS.
When indoor, I lost all stas, and when outdoor, with out cloud, it take about 3-4 min for fix GPS with 6-8 stas.
I try some solutions in here, but no lucky.
my N1 rom: cyanogen nightly build (last)
radio: 5.08....
Plz help me

Indoor fix will always be difficult to impossible. Nothing out of ordinary.
For quick outdoor fix - do you have data connectivity? Or you're not using 3G data? If not - that's the reason for a long fix time.

If you do have cellular data, try going into your APN settings and changing your primary one so that the APN type says:
default,supl
This greatly improved my lock time.

Cyanogen 6 definitely has a GPS issue: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2090
While AGPS settings improve the performance, something is still wrong. I remember stock Froyo to be a 5-20x times faster at getting a GPS lock (I've had cases with a clear blue sky where it's taken 120 seconds to get a GPS fix, before it was a max of maybe 10 seconds).
Also I notice that with GPS Status, I see 1, 2, then 3, 4 satellites show up, then they all disappear... and it starts again, until it gets around 7-8 satellites and gets a lock with 32m accuracy and then the precision slowly increases...
I wish someone could tell me 1) what change Cyanogen has implemented that causes this behavior 2) how to revert back to the old GPS code.

Strange. Your experience doesn't match mine. CM6 here on an AWS Nexus One, with the newer radio. I can get a lock in seconds on GPS Status.

ever since my switch to cyanogen i have had same problem

Cmstlist, turn off your data (3G and wifi) and try getting a lock with GPS Status so you can see the progress. I'm running the Rogers/AT&T version, and this bug drives me crazy. I'm running the 9/20/2010 nightly, but even RC3 had this bug.

Well if you remove access to aGPS, of course you'll take longer to get a lock.
My guess: stock N1 gets a faster lock because it has a supplementary cache of offline GPS info supplied by gpsonextra. The urls for gpsonextra appear in /etc/gps.conf in CM6 but I'm betting it doesn't function properly on an AOSP firmware. Can anyone prove my instinct right or wrong?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I've checked on Enomther's build I'm running, which is also AOSP ROM. The most significant correlation of GPS lock time I've noticed was only with data connectivity rates. I've used GPS Status, and it took ~5-10 seconds to lock both in the open near my house and on the moving train at 150km/h in a significantly changed location, with the only thing being common - there was good 3G reception in both areas. Both times it locked in 2 "batches", 3 satellites being locked in the 1st one, and another 5-6 in the 2nd one. The first "batch" is probably strong satellite signals that were locked after Almanach download almost immediately, and the other "batch" might have been post- Ephemeris download. Either that or it has gpsonextra functional - but in any case, the lock is super-fast when the data rates are good.
On the other hand, the data registered on Traffic Info is only 40k download and 20k upload - even on GPRS it won't take long. But the base station needs to support aGPS - that's also something to consider.

[Q] SGS (2.3.3) 3G Disconnects (weak siginal)

I just i have a few SGS's and i just installed 2.3.3 on one of them and the problem is it disconnects from the wireless network when the signal gets low.
Side by side the signal levels between the the 2.2.1 and the 2.3.3 units have the same db level, but the 2.3.3 will declare the signal strength is too low and disconnect alot before the 2.2.1
Correct me if im wrong but this version of gingerbread uses the nexus s kernel right? And i've seen lots of complaints about weak 3G on those phones, and google has given up on making a fix.
Any help/insight appreciated

I know, i wave the same problem, it would be nice to know why!

Hi,
what settings do you have in settings->display->energy savings (o sth like this - I am using polish version). There is an option to save energy based on LCD, but... it saves energy probably in more than LCD areas...
When I have bought the phone - I was very confused/upset when my SGS can not use 3G nor HSPA... instead of H displays G (or sometimes E) on connection icon. I suuposed it is broken, when compared with my collegues phone (he had H icon)...
Than I found the solution - switched off energy savings, and than my phone started works well with High speed connection - chech this out...
regrads.
ps. I am using android 2.2

ok, for america its call power saving mode, i'm gonna try it to see
Edit: I try and doesn't work for me...

FIXED
I found a really good fix that has been working awesome. I went and installed a new modem kernel using clock work mod.
I get great signal (haven't lost signal yet), gps, im always connected to data.
Just go on here, download the appropriate kernel and install.
My favorites are I9000UGJL2 and I9000XXJVK. Play around, see what works best in your area.

[Q] Streak 7 wifi, stock ROM- gps unable to lock

My Streak 7 wifi, stock ROM- gps unable to lock. Other than that, device is great. Wifi connected. In settings, Wireless networks and GPS satellites in use. GPS Status & Toolbox app downloaded aGPS data but not helping, GpsFix app not helping to lock also. Any other suggestions? thanks in advance.

Not to be too mundane, but have you tried a simple reboot, or going outside where you'd be more likely to get a GPS fix? My T-Mobile S7 has had trouble getting a GPS fix several times, but other times it locks right in.

How long have you left in in clear line of sight of the sky to get a lock? I use mine as my primary in-car multimedia center/GPS and at first, to save battery, would turn it completely off when not in use. I found that when I'd get in my car to go home from work it could take up to 10 minutes to get a lock. Then I started just letting it sleep, have had no battery issues and GPS lock is nearly instant.
Long story short: Give it a good while to lock after a full shut down.And maybe you have, I just thought I'd share my experience.
Jeff

I have absolutely the same issue. After turning it off completely, the GPS does not lock for ages in any sky conditions, etc. Moreover, I put another two Android devices (Galaxy S and Optimus One) also after complete shut off juyst nearby and they are getting locked almest immediately. No doubts, there is a bug in the S7 GPS. But what is it ? Is it a hardware problem ? Can it be fixed ? Keeping it in a sleep mode for a long time is not a good solution for me, though it works indeed.
Does anybody know how to fix it ? At the moment I am using an external GPS. It works perfect, but it is also not that elegant solution.

Same thing here too. I downloaded "GPS test", and found that it will lock on pretty quick, then fire up GPS, and all is well.

GPS on android devices need the assistance of the cell tower or ISP location to get a quick lock. When you first boot up the ds7 and turn on GPS, make sure you are connected to wifi in order to get a quick lock. If you search this forum you will see a thread that give a fix for this, but I think its too much of a hassle. Just be on wifi for your first lock will do the trick. This is not bug on the ds7, its android.

Really? More misinformation on this subject? No, Android devices do not need aGPS, in this case you're confusing aGPS (ie: download of ephemeris data) with Network location, which are quite different.
And it really doesn't matter if it's the first or the Nth time, if the DS7 is always offline for some reason, it would likely make that first fix take 5+ minutes but subsequent fixes (for 7 or so days) would be fine. However, as soon as he goes online, it's going to download the ephemeris data.
My guess is that his GPS conf is set to the wrong part of the world, so the ephemeris data is basically invalid. FasterFix in the market can help correct this mistake if you're rooted, or you can replace it manually.

I beg to differ with you. When I was on stock froyo, I had the same GPS lock problem on one of my trip. So I pulled into a McDonald and connected to their free wifi and got an instant lock. This morning I tested it again. I have been running honeycomb sine Oct 5th and have never turn on the GPS. I connected to my wifi, turned on GPS, and opened Google map and got an instant lock. I didn't have to wait 5+ min..

Good list, although not sure why you're specifying dozens of NTP servers vs the pool server, but I assume t-mobile lets anyone connect to its server to download the ephemeris data? Otherwise, probably better to use supl.google.com
Here's mine, for North America, with other regions commented out for NTP. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/334233/gps.conf
It'd be interesting to know if all of the other dozen or so configuration options are actually used, I've heard they aren't, just part of a spec.

I bought my DS7 in the US and I live in Israel. The above explanations perfectly fit my case. Unfortunately, the given link does not include my region (Israel or Middle East, etc). Can somebody help me ? My DS7 runs a stock HC 3.2. The device is unrooted, but I will root it just for solving the GPS problem. BTW, why my Galaxy S bought in Europe does not have such problem ? Is this gps.conf specific in tablets only or in the US devices ?

Another thoughts. Now it seems to me extremely unreasonable to run specific GPS files in different regions. GPS, by definition is supposed to be used in different regions. Should I replace the GPS file in my every trip? Sounds more than unreasonable. I used a Windows CE based PDA with GPS all around the globe without that issue. It does took me a while to fix satellites in a new region for the first time. But then it was getting fixed fast even after complete shut off.
I can't beleive Android is that imperfect. If this option would be included in the menu (e.g. in Regional settings), I would like it. But performing such complicated actions in each trip ???

Stop your trolling, ephemeris data, ie: what's set up in gps.conf, is to speed up cold starts. it does nothing else, it's not Android specific, in fact all it's doing is downloaded a set of the data that your GPS would otherwise have to slowly acquire from the satellites, which takes 2-10 minutes, depending on conditions and how many sats are seen.
All GPS units do this, but GPS units that have a network available will potentially download ephemeris data to speed up satellite acquisition. Otherwise they just download it. Only time you'll really notice it going slow is if it's been more than 4-5 days (I believe 7 is the official data expiration, but the older it is, the less accurate it is) or you've changed areas since you last turned on the GPS.
Keep in mind that phone-based GPS's suck. They're inaccurate, they're not sensitive, their antennas are not optimal. This is true for nearly all PDA's or Phones, Tablets, etc.. Some may be better than others. They're optimized for space, price, and somewhat for battery life. Not accuracy, precision, or cold starts (beyond A-GPS data downloads, which is an OS function that makes the data available to the GPS)

This means my unit is faulty (apparently it is a common problem for DS7). Otherwise I would have similar cold starts for all three devices I have tested (DS7, Galaxy S and Optimus One). On the other hand, in the light of your explanataion, my tests are, probably, wrong. DS7 is WiFi only, while another two are GSM (no data plans though). In other forums, I read that changing gps.conf file in WiFi only devices dramatically improves cold starts. Apparently they all have been connected to WiFi while starting. I have prepared the appropriate file for my region, but don't know how to root my DS7 with stock HC 3.2. The thread I found here is not sufficiently detail for noobs like me. So, in the mean time I will continue using the external GPS. It is indeed much better than the internal one besides the cold start problem (though much less convinient). If you know a link to the step-by-step instructions for rooting DS7 running stock HC 3.2, I will greatly appreciate it.

Always possible there's a problem with the GPS, maybe the antenna is defective or connected badly. Hope you figure it out.
I have two bluetooth GPS, one Holux 236 I've had about 6 years, another Columbus V900 I was going to replace the Holux with, as it's newer, should have better sensitivity, and has built-in track logging. Except that its accuracy is off, it's precise.... precisely wrong. It's always about 9 meters off. And my primarily use for it is Geocaching, and my Holux 236 is always dead on.. So my new BT GPS is basically used as a track logger. Ah well All that said, I primarily use the BT GPS with my phone while geocaching or hiking or such, but I have used it on the tablet a few times, but most often I just use the built-in GPS on my DS7 because I don't need high precision with it the way I use it.

Thank you, khaytsus.
All this fix does is speed up the initial contact to the GPS satellites for your region. You don't have to use this, you can wait till the GPS in the DS7 makes contact if you want.

The most strange is that the GPS is fine after getting fixed . At least, no difference with Galaxy S, i.e. roughly the same number of satellites, SNR, accuracy. So, the only problem is unreasonably long cold start. I am not sure how it could be caused by a defective antenna. Anyway, in the mean time I decided to use an external GPS. I have three units, two BT and one mouse, which I used to use with my nettop in the pre-tablet era. Yesterday I connected my Hollux 236 to 12 V using a concealed cable and switch. So, now the procedure is reasonably simple: switch on 236, a few clicks on BluetoothGPS and, when the connection is established, I am clicking iGO8. It works like a charm, besides several additional actions I have to perform. When I will sicceed to root my DS7, I will try to play with the gps.conf file anyway.
P.S. I got an idea to connect my mouse GPS using the DS7 docking unit. I have a simple one with two microUSB I/O. Not sure it will work, but, if yes, it can simplify everything dramatically. I will try it on the weekend and let you know about the results.
Thanks.

OK, after two weeks of testing I still don't have a reasonable solution:
1. The USB mouse GPS connected the cradle does not work at all.
2. My greatest disapointment is with the external GPS. It works perfect... when it works. I am using the Bluetooth GPS application to get connected. After several successful connections, without any visible reason, the GPS is not getting connected to DS7, although the application shows many satellites with large SNR (>30-35). However accuracy = 0 and no GPS signal message in iGO8. This happens only from time to time and as I have already mentioned without any visible reason.
Will try another applications and GPS devices.

GPS problems with lte

When I have a 4g connection my GPS doesn't work. The second it goes into 3g the GPS picks up. Pictures attached are GPS status started in 4g and right after it switched to 3g

Wish I had a solution for you, but I've had ridiculously fast lock on times in GPS Status with both 3g and 4g. Only thing I've done is install viperROM and Wolfpack kernel. Can't remember off hand if either of those have had GPS enhancements.
Hope you find a fix.

Not sure if my situation is related, but on two separate occasions, I also lost GPS all together. I wasn't paying attention to 3G/4G, but like yours, it was also 0/0 satellites; however, if I were to restart the app, the satellites came back. I let my phone try to find signal for five minutes or so the first time this occurred to no avail. Could have been just fluke occurrences, but we'll see if it happens a third time.
Question: Does re-routing take a little longer than usual for anyone else? I noticed that when I made a different turn today, it took a good probably 10 seconds to re-route. Not sure if my phone is just wonky or what, but my GPS has definitely not been up to par.

Odd signal issues Atrix HD

I recently flashed the (Unofficial) PAC Man ROM over night, and noticed my signal bars were blank. I have 4G (It says sometimes) but when I check my signal strength, it's 0 dBm 99 asu. It can see my Network, says I'm in service, and gives me my IMEI number. However, my phone number is unknown. I'll upload screenshots, and will answer questions (Obviously) if need be. (Note: I can't post in the dev forms, as I don't have enough posts, thought I have PM'd Skeevy about the bug. ROM runs fine otherwise ) Thanks in advance.

Well it's noted as a known bug in almost all 4.2 roms so...

Hm. Read the PACMAN rom bug list and it didn't show up and that's what I'm using.. Oh well. 3G works, I get signal, but my phone number doesn't show up, so eh. I can live with it I guess,

I am one of those folks that will keep flashing for latest stuff cause I like the bleeding edge...
I did have a problem today that all my roms I flashed to had no service. No matter what I did... No bars and WIFI couldn't even be turned on.
End result fix was to flash back to ATT stock US rom through RSD. Then putting CWM back through fastboot and then my customs worked fine. I'm sure it was something dumb I did that caused it, but with an unlocked bootloader, I have no fear of trying anything

Honestly, I think it has something to do with the way 4G LTE is encoded with the ROM. I've flashed stock, gone back and installed CWM and re-flashed PAC and still had the issue. But It still works, I just don't get signal bars, with 0bdm and 99ASU all the time so yeah. 3G and HSPA+ work flawlessly. If I have HSPA+ and 3G I'm fine lol.

Now that GPS is pretty much figured out, which is what I've been focused on, I'll start looking at the stock build.prop and and compare it to PAC's. Should give me some insight to the 4g issues.
I wasn't aware that all 4.2 roms had the signal issue. I see it on PAC maybe once a day and its gone within 5 minutes. I'm not 100% positive, but I think it has to do with wifi. When ever I notice a wifi issue like it not connecting as fast as it should, sure enough the grey icons follow.
Went to Taco Bell last night, saw their wifi connection but didn't connect. Got home, home wifi was slow to connect and they grays. Makes me wonder if there's an issue with the wifi queue or the phones "which internet do I use?" queue.

Last line made me LOL.
The issue just seems to be 4G and LTE. WiFI on your PAC rom seems runs wifi great, but sometimes it disconnects (very rare for me, but I think it's for everyone in my house, we have quite a few WiFi hogs, lol). I'll just keep flashing your new roms as they come out, and hopefully it'll be fixed. Not to big of a deal if it isn't lol.

Did you compare signal rating from your stock ROM to custom ROM?

If you have an older router, try changing the WiFi frequency from auto to 2.4ghz -- fixed my WiFi disconnect issues right up. Also, if that doesn't, then set up a static IP for your phone since, in my experience, static connects a lot faster. That's not really a bug as it is a hardware issue (an I can't afford a new router issue).
As for signal. Can't test LTE\4G. Not available in my town. 3G works fine and doesn't have any disconnect or signal issues. I can suggest to try different modems from the various fastboots.

Its just that the custom Roms don't "see" the 4g signal is all... So it gives a no signal bar. Its different from the connected bars and fully connected bars that still show signals.
