Hi.
Try to download "FasterFix" from the market, then choose your region (Germany i think) and press go. the apk change some settings in the "gps.conf". Worked fine for me.
greetings,

i will give it a try, thank you

seems not to work for me :/ an other idea?

Got to Folder--Android-->startup.txt-->open it and change your gps zone to "de" It fix all your Problems.

Huuu, i don't think so, it isn't used in nand builds, and he is using one of them, not an SD build...
Have a look here, it helped me get a cold fix in under a minute, still a lot worse than with WM or WP7, but better than previously...

Do you get a sat fix in Google Maps?
The gps Almanach is only send every 12 minutes. It is needed to get a fix.
Read the wikipedia article on gps.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGPS
Starting gps for the first time can take a while. Not only 12 minutes but longer if you are in an area with bad reception like inside a building or inside a car with tinted windows.
Go outside in an open area wait for 30minutes. If you don't get a sat fix by then, something is wrong.
Next time sat fix will be much faster because it only has to update the almanach not download the whole thing unless you haven't used it for a long time.

Sorry for kicking this old thread, but it seems silly to open a new thread for the same problem.
Did you ever get this fixed? I have GPS in all apps. Google Maps, all my weather apps, hell even in CoPilot Live 8 the local weather function works fine!
But for some reason it just won't get a signal in CoPilot... .
I waited for over an hour, nothing. I tried every gps.conf file out there.. Nothing. Well, I get an insanely fast lock in Maps... .

SGS GPS not working at all

I've read around the forum and other forums as well about SGS GPS issue. From what I read, seems like SGS users did get their GPS to work but inaccurately.
My SGS has no custom ROM, running on 2.3.3. My GPS seems to not work at all. Every time I enter Navigation, it just gets stuck on "Waiting for location".

A-GPS might help you

Maybe try faster fix

As you are using non official beta rom that might be the problem .
Flash stock Froyo with pit 512 and repartition checked .

Well, sorry if I forgot to mention. This problem has occurred since I'm in my stock Froyo 2.2. I've read somewhere about GPS only working in Europe and USA?

NOPE !!!
im in the same area as you,,
use gps aids (find in the market)
and it;s fixed

Have u tried g-spot fix?
/nik on MIUI

GPS hardware works as a standalone GPS no A-GPS no wireless no network towers .
Take sim out of phone turn off WiFi delete GPS data .
Go outside clear view of sky and use something like GPS Test to pick up satellites .
No satellites after half an hour = hardware fault .
All these aids and GPS fixes do not fix faulty hardware .

[Q] GPS problem

Hi,
My dad has a Galaxy S Advance and we can not use its GPS receiver at all. I tried the GPSTest application, it doesn't show any satellites, whilst my old I9000 Galaxy S - which has a very weak receiver - can find 7-8 satellites. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Phone was running on I9070XXLPY (the very first 4.1.2), I thought it may be a SW issue so I have just flashed the latest German I9070XXLQE firmware via Odin but the issue still exists. Phone functionality and Bluetooth are working fine, so Modem binary is working and /efs is not lost. Phone is not rooted and I don't want it to be rooted at all.
Thanks in advance

I have tried it both in and outside but as I've written, my SGS 1 was near the SGSA and it found plenty of satellites :-\
Edit: one thing, it has found one satellite once outside but none anymore

You never had it working good on JB except that one time? Factory reset, from recovery. Backup all what you need before that.

I can't really say it was working that time but yes, it's right. Next time when I go home I'll try the factory reset, if no other suggestion comes. Thank you for the help! :good:

After factory reset the phone can find ~3 satellites only, no more

I have the same problem with my Galaxy S Advance
Tried hard reset S Advance factory reset
http://www.hard-reset.com/samsung-galaxy-s-advance-i9070-hard-reset.html
In winter i thought it is very slow because of the weather conditions, clouds etc. but in summer it is the same. Sooo slow, not getting position, it takes 10 min. to see satellites.
Is it a common problem? Is it hardware problem?
Did someone solved somhow?

If Internet enabled, it is the same. I know that if you download GPS data it should find GPS signal much sooner, but it shouldn't.
Thanks

Root and set gps.config to your country. Search for ntp servers. (Almighty Google). By default for my phone it was set to North America, and I am in Serbia. It was taking 3-5 mins to get gps fix, after changing it to my (rs.ntp.blah, blah) it takes 10-30 seconds.

Perhaps you need to download this application, mate, on playstore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.serbiamap.android

Maybe you should also read the thread here. But I'm not sure if it worked. But you can try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200089

This thread is old, but I like to share extra info. This Google play app "Install GPS - test & Fix" works great!
I installed an original firmware for my GT-I9070, everything is working except GPS. This is fixed by this app! Awesome!:good:

[L3/L5/L7/L9][APPS] iGO MyWay 8.4.3. Satellite usage

Hi,
I'm not sure of I'm on the right forum/subforum, but here it goes. I am using iGO MyWay 8.4.3. Navigation (European area) on my P700. It work really well and I am satisifed but I have one little problem. I heard that many nav manufactures (iGO/Navteq included) decided that their .apk will use American satellites for GPS lock. Here we touched the problem. There are moments when I got GPS lock in few seconds and also there are moments when there is about 20 minutes needed to make a proper GPS lock (ofc, we are talking about open areas). Also, I heard there are few code-lines in .apk that could change satellite search to European area (closer satellites, faster lock).
My issue is : Is there any .apk editor that can be used to change these few lines of code without ruining the whole app. If so, does anybody know which codes have to be changed.
Thanks in advance!

It must one. I used igo primo v2.0 and now v2.1 for jb but i dont have this problems. From start to connetion it takes about 10 to 20 seconds.

I now it should, as I said, there are moments in which GPS lock is done in 10 to 20 secs as you said and that's how it supposed to be. I just want to find the way how to change those few lines of code (GPS orientation and positioning - primary -> something like that), from American location to European. There are 2x more American GPS satellites than European, but also Americans are using a lot of smartphones, so when American GPS sats are busy, phone needs more time to achieve GPS lock. Changing primary orientation / postitioning will make European (closer) sats more available, currently I guess mine iGO has its primary GPS sats on US, not european.
That is the thing I want to change, of course, if it is possible.
Thanks anway!

I got your problem too, sometimes it locks in 10 sec and sometimes after 5-10km and its killing me, it would be nice if somebody could change .apk to lock on eu satelites.
