Hi, the best accuracy i got is 5 meters (on GPS Test).
i tried Mokee and AEX and it was the same. the reception signals are good (+/- 40).
with samsung s6 i get 3 meters.
is there a way to improve the accuracy ?
thanx
Hi, I had terrible accuracy with my AEX 7.1.2 (6 meters) and since I switched to AEX 8.1.0 it improved a lot (3 meters).
I also get much better battery life.
I'm still experiencing issues with AEX 8.1 compared with stock rom where I would have GPS lock very quick and even inside buildings (near windows)
With the original rom I even had GPS reception inside a commercial plane (Airbus A320) with current rom I'm not able to lock to any satellite.
Using Waze or google maps it looses signal and driving on a highway sometimes it points me to a nearby road... Probably going back to a chinese rom to fix this

I am looking for some feedback on the GPS built into the new AT&T Tilt.
What is the accuracy of the GPS?
What is the sensitivity of the radio? (does it loose signal when you get in your car? in heavily wooded areas?)
How long does it take to obtain GPS Satellite Signal? (15 seconds? 30 seconds? 2 minutes?)
How much battery does it suck down?
Can it work with multiple programs at the same time? (Windows Live and another program at the same time?)
Can't really comment on accuracy, but it has me plotted on the correct roads on Google Maps and MS Live Search.
GPS reception is fine in the car, although initial satellite lockings seems faster when I put the phone on the dash. After that, I can pretty much put the phone anywhere near the drivers seat.
Takes a minute to a couple minutes for me to get a fix.
Its sucks batteries fast. Slightly faster then the trickle charger is charging the phone. So on a long drive, I imagine you will kill the battery on the Tilt using the GPS.
Don't know about the last question.

What is the sensitivity of the radio? (does it loose signal when you get in your car? in heavily wooded areas?) In the car its fine, dont have woods here in miami, but in the everglades it works just fine.
How long does it take to obtain GPS Satellite Signal? (15 seconds? 30 seconds? 2 minutes?) approx 10-15 s
How much battery does it suck down? Dont know, I dont have it on for a long time
Can it work with multiple programs at the same time? (Windows Live and another program at the same time?)

Havent tried that yet, meaning using google maps & windows live?
I've only had it working for a short time, but based on what i've read its fairly accurate (someone got it within 15', mine was within 30' but that was google maps and i dont think it does off-road)
I established the connection on my porch (so i could use my wifi) and it followed me inside the house. 9 satellites outside, 6 in my chair. its a small house, but still nearly completely obstructed due to rain clouds and being indoors
If you use a program like GPSTest or GPSViewer to establish the connection first, they go very quickly. otherwise it may run into some problems connecting due to the timeout settings.
battery power no idea...
As mentioned earlier, i try a light weight program to establish the initial connection and the actual program to use it. from what i've seen you can see two but not sure how well it'll work n the end.
hey i got my tilt, I really don't know how things works, I mean I installed live search on it, but you know I can't get the current GPS postion, how does this thing work? anyone? can you guys tell us the steps for those of who are new to this whole GPS thing, thanks

I noticed this too.
Is there a way to fix this?
It is very annoying.
With a car charger I should be able to at least keep the battery at the same level.
(PS: I am using a car-to-USB adapter and the USB/Sync cable that came with the tilt)
Back when I was using the att flash, I'd need to use a program to jumpstart gps. It'd take about 2 minutes. Afterwards, I could use google maps without issue. But if I drove around, I'd constantly be losing the gps and need to hit retry.
Then I flashed to htc. Google maps always picked up the lock in about 10 seconds. I'd still lose it if I drove around.
But then a few days ago, google maps stopped picking up gps. Even using other programs, I'd run it for over 10 minutes without getting a lock. Haven't gotten gps working at all in the past few days. Not sure what's going on. Hopefulyl a future firmware will fix this. Not going to bother with it for the time being. Being able to use google maps is really enough. gps is pretty silly to me.

Accuracy -- I can't speak as to "within x meters", but I can tell you that when using it with mapping software, the location fix is right on the money as to where it shows me being in the car.
Length of time to obtain a signal -- after the initial "fix", I can open my mapping software and in the length of time it takes to select my destination, it has already paired with the GPS chip.
Battery Life -- I keep my Tilt on the car charger when using GPS -- at least, I did until a few days ago. I forgot to plug it in to the cigarette lighter and the battery was dead running the GPS constantly in 5 hours.
Multiple apps at once -- Can't comment on that one.
When I use telenav , most of the time it is accurate close to about 15 feet.
Hello guys
I'm using the igo v8.3.2.64873 with the stock rom on my TP. Somehow the gps speedometer in the igo shows a speed which is about 7 km/h lower than the actual speed of my car.
is there any option to fix this ?
Thank you
IGO
And what are you waiting for m8 ?
The speedometer is reliying to the satellites and the gps system is not error proof. Your position is not correct to the centimeter hence your speed is no one hundred percent accurate either.
Beside, the speedometer on your car is not a precision tool either so it may be not very accurate itself.
7 kph seems very few.

Just FYI-
The speedometer on a car is usually ~5-10% optimistic, if we are talking at 7k"m/h from a 100km/h speed than that is quite within reason.
ok, man, but it sucks to see the difference between them both
Anyone using USA maps notice the ETA can be way off? Its not as noticable for shorter trips, but it is very noticeable for long trips.
I'm using the Q2 2008 NAVTEQ maps.
I did a 330mi trip which should take about 5 hours (according to Garmin, Google Maps, etc), but this version of iG0 says it'll take 6+ hours. As I drive the time will keep getting more accurate and by the time I'm 4 hours into the drive it'll be within about 20 minutes accurate while Garmin would be accurate the whole trip.
Do you think this is a map issue or an iGo issue? I had 8.0 and 8.3.1 and they exhibit the same behavior, but they all used the same maps.
Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone has noticed that the stock android reception gauge is very low?
I know it's only a small thing, but it's quite inaccurate when compared to my actual signal strength, showing 0 bars of antenna on the task bar, (sometimes 1) while it shows about 50% of max according to the 'network signal info' app... And I Was wondering how dependable this app might be, or whether it is gauging it compared to other phones which have lesser antennas.
I'm on an Australian delivery Z1, 4.2.2, stock kernel, with no updates installed or available (stock Australian build).
As long as data transfer is lightning fast I don´t care how many bars (if any) the status-bar shows ..................
As title states my GPS is pretty shocking, on a perfectly clear day not a cloud ion sight it drop out and back in randomly, usually when you are approaching the next manoeuvre. Battery will also only last 20 minutes on google Maps but i presume thats because it rarely locks on.
I did a simple 48 mile journey earlier that i knew well, turned on Maps and use Voice Guidance. I had done half the journey before it locked gps from leaving my house.
Did this Stock and with Insertcoin, Viper, Maximus and a few others?
I use GPS TEST app to test the gps functionality of my Note 5 and it seems that the gps will jump most of the time from 6 to 12 meters of accuracy when i'm outdoors and very rarely hit 4 meters or 3, no matter how many sattelites are in use (usually more than 10 and most of the time even 20+, which is great). it feels like a software calibration thing - my older devices would show 3-4 meters consistently when the reception was good ; I also noticed that my movement in Waze seems to update more slowly when compared to other devices.
How's the situation with yours?
didn't realize it could go that low 4m accuracy. how does it impact your usage of GPS when u get only 6m-12m accuracy?
Civilian gps devices are restricted to 3m. Military gps devices can get even more precise. Back to your question - It doesn't seem to effect it for driving purposes, but if I use apps such as Runtastic, it feels a bit off track.
So... How's the accuracy of your Note 5's? Did you manage to get a constant 3-4 meters?
