Hello. Some time ago I did a software update on my phone LG P970 and not liked the hard moves. After a two days ever I downgrade to 2.3.4 (V20h) and now I no longer functioning GPS. We used the NAVIGON before doing the update and went, now if I go into flashing that sign NAVIGON GPS but even if they are not getting out of the house.

GPS seemed to work well under Zeus 6.4 and Marvel 9. Both are 2.3.4 (N/O). I'd look at those.

[Q] [Help Needed] GPS dead after official froyo update

Hello,
Last night I found available through KIES the firmware update to Froyo, I got JPA from TMN Portugal.
Phone had some problems with my google account, so I did a Factory Reset, everything seemed right after that, phone was real fast, no lag, I finally got rid of that stupid voodoo color fix wich made screen look to darn saturated....
When I tried GPS, it didn't work at all, couldn't get a lock on anything, I left it trying to stablish a connection for several minutes and nothing happened, usually, it wouldn't take more than 30 secs to get my position even with WiFi off.
Phone is working perfectly, only problem now is GPS, can't get it to work. before upgrading to JPA, I had JM8 from TMN Portugal too... and I had great GPS performance.
I have been thinking about flashing to JPO, but I'm really not sure if this will fix GPS.
Anyone here could help out?
Thanks.
GPS never locks, i was on KK1 baseband, then changed to kk6, then KL1, and now im on UGkk7, and still the same....
Im with franco kernel 14.4 and AOKP 21... dont know whre is the issue...
I will try UGKL1 radio...im in Mexico.
EDIT: Now im on UGKL1 and the GPS never locks : (
Try GPS Test, then settings, update A-GPS. This will load the current and future locations of GPS satellites to speed up GPS fix.
You will also be able to see if it is listening to any GPS satellites.

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... .

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S noob here.

Hey all,
So basically I just bought my first android phone couple of weeks ago. Its the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 running 2.33 Firmware.
It is not yet rooted (have read some articles found in these forum found them really helpful)
but I'm not gonna root it for now I think cause this is my first android phone Im still a noob (used to apple)
Now my problem is I will be going abroad in 2 weeks and could really use the GPS.Tried donwloading GPS Status but i never actually got a lock on the satelites (or it took too long that I gave up) I also tried the fix but the code (but when dialing *#*#1472365#*#* nothing happened lol)
I also downloaded loads of GPS software such as AndNav2,Wisepilot,Navigon,CoPilot,Sycig but 90% of those gave me an error when I try them such as this software cannot be started on your device.
Is there any good GPS software/app which does not require an internet connection (pls not offline maps but like turn by turn app or similar.)
Thanks a lot.
Personally i use Copilot live 8
maybe you could flash the phone to a clean stock ROM and then try again ??
Good Luck!!
So I finally managed to fix it and get a fix on the satellites
Now my last problem is, I need a good turn by turn app that does not use internet (except maybe for downloading maps first time etc.)
Thanks.
Hmm anyone?
I'm using Navigon. You need an internet connection to download the maps. Following that, there is an option to turn off internet connection. Go to Menu>Settings - second option from the top.
in my personal experience... you need to learn how to root, flash firmware, etc...
i'm also a noob and used to apple devices..
before my galaxy s get great firmware (thx xda-dev), i miss my iphone so much...
but after flashed with great firmware, everything working great, nice apps.. and so on,
also a great benefit for me, i know how to do those things... and i can say bye2 for my apple devices now.. even one great iphone 5 wont help me back to apple
just PM me if you need anyhelp
hope you enjoy your sgs as much as i do...

gt-p1000 gps problems

hi all,
I was just wondering if I was the only one with gps troubles.
I tried stock rom, overcome, ics miui, jb aokp, but rarely got satellites detected.
I once got some connexions while using tomtom but about 20 minutes (discontinued) on a 2 hours trip.
with some test apps I got 3 feeble satellites signals.
Does someone else had so much trouble ?
(I trying some gps fixes I found but just wanted to know if I was the only one)
thanks
you are not the only one

No you are not.
Did you GPS work at all?
Mine did and then stopped.. here is what I did before it stopped.
I rooted it with ODIN (ages ago)
for ICS I followed the widely available instructions to get ICS (How to install Stable ICS 4.0.4 on Galaxy TAB P1000 [CyanogenMod 9 Stable]) and everything worked well. Needed a different camera app but the GPS worked reliable and FAST.
When JB was available I used the ROM Based on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 Platform. This is the official CyanogenMod 10 Nightly but had issues with Gapps and did not have time back then (xmas time) so just restored my nandroid backup. And to be honest I have no idea if the GPS worked after that. I think I used the iPhone more for GPS stuff until March.
Fact was it did not get any satelite at all, only location is via WIFI.
My hypo was that I may have missed something or the nandroid backup / restore does not include all files.
To fix it I looked for a later ROM and used JB. I used the Android 4.2.1 CM10.1 for Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 P1000 [Filename: cm-10.1-20121229-EXPERIMENTAL-p1-cdesai.zip] and Google Apps [Filename: gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip] and that rome is reported that GPS works (but remember it did not work before i used this rom)
All went well and the rom works with all other features but did not GPS and I still have 0 satelites with either GPS Test or GPS Fix.
That is when I found your post.
I had a good dig around XDS and well GPS issues are plentiful, but not quite like the one you or I experience.
It seems that you at least get "some" satelites which is an improvement over none.
re-stocking did not solve it for you so I may save myself the trouble.
that said, my only thought is the GPS module packed in and that is why I get not a single satelite...
did you get anywhere?
TIA

hi there,
for my part, I bought this used tab some month ago. I didn't really liked it in gb, so almost immediatly tried to root it, changed recovery and rom, but never tested gps then.
I actually use miui ics rom and tried gps once. on a 2 hours long trip, sunny weather, nothing to disturb gps signal, I had 20mn of signal and not in a single straight connexion, but only just 1 or 2 mn from time to time.
I tried restock, but not bettre, even my chinese tab is more efficient. I'm still trying to understand and looking for answers but I nedd to restart my searches all over, too much things founds and now I'm quite lost.
The only thing I remember is that someone picked up gps files from his old samsung gsm and copied them on his GT as they had the same system.
I'll try to find that back, and maybe I'll try with my htc as they're all two on miui.
I'll send infos if I find something working
The same problem

Sorry for my english!
My GT-P1000 was to repair because it was unable to read the internal memory! After that I never tested the gps and rooted the tab with CM10.1 TWRP 20130802 Kernel 3.0.88 v1.35 (cm-10.1-20130802-UNOFFICIAL-p1)! I tried gps, but there is no gps signal and there are no satellites found!
Did ypu solved the problem?

no, still not solved it, I suspect some hardware problem like gps chip dead, gps antenna unplugged or broken, but as I had troubles with electronics thèses days, I will wait to open my GT
install apps like Faster GPS, GPS Fix or similar from Play
define your NTP Server and load XTRA data (table of current satellite position)
this will help you!
