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... .
Hi,
I found so much different informations about GPS in CM7 but nothing really worked, and I don't know what is correct!
In Modaco FR19 it worked like charm!
I have the latest CM7 (from 07.04.2011), so I have the lto.dat that came with the rom, and my gps.conf looks like:
NTP_SERVER=de.pool.ntp.org
the three XTRA_SERVER...
SUPL_HOST=supl.nokia.com
SUPL_PORT=7275
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks
Ignore your gps.conf, it isn't used by the O2X. Make sure you're running at least #65, as there is a GPS fix included.
Edit: I see you do have a build new enough for that, so good stuff. How many locations have you tried it in? Use GPS status too see how many sats are picked up and what signal strength they're at.
This won't contribute much...but..
I have the 07.03 CM7 (#66)and;
-in maps, the time it takes to get the signal varies from instantly to a few mins or so.
- in navigation it does not appear to work.
Hi,
So far I only tested it in one location (will test it now in different)
I don't get gps location neither in maps nor navigation!
GPS Status says 0 in view and 0 in use...
So there is nothing I can do, but wait for a fix from CM7?
There isn't likely to be a fix for your individual phone, considering it works for everyone else.
Have you tried re-flashing it? Tried wiping it?
Ok it's fixed, I cleared AGPS data and changed location from inside to outside and got a gps fix in 2 seconds...
Thanks guys

did you have problems with the gps-fix itself or with navigation?
i'm using CM7.1 and while CoPilot wasn't able to get a gps- fix, google maps navigation worked fine

I am on the nightly #73. Google navigation works ok, Sygic (latest trial from the market) also gets a solid fix most of the time.
Copilot 9 premium jumps to a location then sits there for some time and does not track the movement, then jumps again and does the same. I had it working ok on stock. My O2X is originally V10d UK version. Copilot 9 UK and Ireland.
Tried to use the tricks from other threads: running GPSTest with a GPS fix in the background and then switching to Copilot. Does not work. BTW a colleague with an SGS on stock also has exactly the same problem.

Hmmm I don't have any reboots with the current CM7 nightly, but I had a few of them on stock. I hated stock and I like CM7 a lot. Would be a pity to go back.
Regarding the GPS lock times.
Be PATIENT the first time you try to get the lock.
For me it took about 5 minutes to get the lock for the first time. After that initial lock it now takes under 10 seconds.
Try using GPS status from market to see the satellites.
Needless to say, do this outside for best signal

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)

Last thing I can think of is to change ROM's and see if that fixes anything.

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).

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.

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.

...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
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.

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.

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.

But the number one thing that is annoying me the most is that I can't get a gps fix no matter what. It doesn't matter whether I'm indoors or outdoors, or what app I'm using (waze, Google maps, etc.), or what "gps fixing" apps I installed. I just can't get a freaking gps lock anywhere!
Before I flashed this ROM, the gps didn't really work well but at least it worked...
I've searched the entire world wide web (obviously started from XDA) and found some interesting answers but none of them helped me even a bit.
Is this a known issue in cm 10.1.3 or is it just me?
thanks in advance
I recently have CM 10.1.3 on my 4X HD l don't have that issue... Try flash rom again.

Have you tried the fast gps fix in android general development?
Possible solution
Try this... Might help.

I have no idea what thread you're talking about but I will take a second look, even though I didn't find anything in there.

This looks promising... I will report back if it worked for me or not, as soon as I get off work.
thank you to all of you guys for answering!!
Ok so I've tried modifying the gps.conf like deepmanu suggested, but still couldn't get a gps fix at all.
I know that LG screwed up with the gps in this device and that it is so sensitive that even if I replace the ROM
(I don't think that the CM team played with the gps files), it won't work at all.
Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? because right now the only solution that I'm think about is getting a nexus 5 or something =\

I managed to get my GPS working better by tweaking the gps.conf file, but nothing wonderful. If I am sat in my car I get almost no signal, yet my Nexus 7 is high-quality, 13 sats and almost instant lock. The GPS chip/receiver is crap in our device and that is why I will never buy an LG again. Apart from the GPS I love my phone, but that is too important a part for me.

How about changing your baseband to v10x?

Thought about it, but changing the baseband to a lower version means to compromise on lower quality phone calls and these kind of stuff.
And I'd rather have a terrible gps signal with great phone calls quality, than the other way around.

Maybe it's not the best chip, but still good enough. Samsung Galaxy S2-series phones all have a way worse receiver, I was barely getting any signal without network.
Problem with custom roms is that nearly all of them only include the very basic necessary configuration. See CM gps.conf and stock gps.conf (included in Omni), there's a big difference. I don't say this switch did wonders (it wasn't bad at all before too), but surely stabilizes signal.
Well, i try a lot of things, but, to play ingress is not working. How can i connect gps via Bluetooth?

You can't. To connect to an External GPS source is an immediate violation of the Ingress ToS and the app will refuse to launch. This is to assist, at least partly, in stopping players from spoofing their location to cheat.
So, you can connect to an external GPS source, but you can't play Ingress while doing so.

I know, I have the same problem with mine no matter what I do. I normally just end up using my N7 tethered instead.

The best thing I have found is to make sure you fully close the Ingress app (Sign out and clear it from memory) when you get to the new location, then restart it and see if it works - that sometimes seems to force the app to acquire a GPS location quicker. Other than that, buy a different phone - not ideal I know.
