Kernel/ROM with best GPS functionality - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I want to turn my Samsung I8190 Galaxy S III mini into a navigation device. All that matters is a strong and fast GPS signal. Can anyone recommend a good kernel or ROM for that? The Android version used for this is irrelevant.
Thank You.

[Q] Share internet through bluetooth to Galaxy Tab p1010

Hi, I'm buying a Galaxy S 5.0, and like the Galaxy Tab p1010, he don't have 3G, or SIM card. With the Galaxy Tab p1010 can I use a phone with 3G and bluetooth to share internet ? I had a nokia n800 and I was able to do this very easy.
Sorry for my english.
Thanks
Hi rapha lira.
Same as mine.
I also has GT-P1010 and also nokia n900
Don't expect to much with wifi,because it doesn't support ad-hoc networking even you install joikuspot.
neither also with bluetooth.because samsung has use their own bluetooth stack that doesn't support DUN and PAN because my nokia n900 has already support dun and pan.
the only choice is buy 3g modem with wifi infradtructure support.
right now,I am going to hack and replace bluetooth stack samsung with bluez linux universal,hopely can

hum, so the only way to connect to internet is with teether, this is sucks, drain the battery very quickly.
But thank you, I will have to live with that.... Miss my n800, the best tablet, It's a shame that nokia is so dumb to kill maemo, and meego, and symbian, and now making a partnership with microsfot...
Hey! I found this thread when looking for a solution to my problem, but unfortunately this thread does not answer my question, however I maybe able to assist in your situation.
Depending on what phone you currently have (if it's a Nokia smartphone; including s60v3 and v5), you maybe able to tether your 3G/HSDPA for your Galaxy S 5.0. To do this, download and install JoikuSpot on your Nokia (JoikuSpot Premium recommend, to password protect your network). This software will allow you to tether your 3G/HSDPA from your smartphone via an ad-hoc network; the software will create an ad-hoc network.
Unfortunately as the 'Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0' runs on Android, it does not support ad-hoc networks; therefore the network you have created from your Nokia is not detected. However to over come this obstacle, you will need to root and apply a specific patch for Android, which will allow ad-hoc network communication; this will then allow your Samsung Galaxy 5 to connect to your Nokia's 3G/HSDPA.
The patch has been developed by XDA forum member blackplatypus, which you may find here: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-ad-hoc-wireless-network-support/
After doing everything above, your problem should be solved!
Enjoy.
.. now, I'm going back to look for a solution to my problem.
Its a good option, but my galaxy have gingerbread 2.3.5 and I cant root him. But thank you, hope you find a solution.
I know this is a little old but I am trying to get this to work..
I am able to get my Tmobile G2X to teether through Bluetooth with my Asus Transformer (3.2 OS) but cannot get my Tab to do the same.. It would be awesome if I could get to work because WIFI teethering kills my battery fast..

GPS problem

Hi!
I own Samsung S3 mini phone since 2 weeks. I used to use GPS alot for outdoor sports, such as biking or hiking with my old Samsung Galaxy Ace phone. I'm running a problem with the GPS as the signal lost every minute, so I can't record my own ride or anything.
I've been checking this site but i didn't see anything regarding to this issue. I know that a lot of people is getting this problem with S3 terminal, and they have developed some fixes that can solve the problem, but not for S3 mini. Do anyone know something about it? I read somewhere that this problem could be caused by the RADIO or MODEM file, but i can't see any other file to try it out.
I'm runing a rooted deodexed ROM (AMB3)
Hope someone can help with this issue. I tried with GPS STATUS but is not fixing the problem.
Cheers
sorry guys... I just flashed 4.1.1 firmware and now works cool. Isn't anyone with this troubles in 4.1.2?

Just to tell everyone.
The GPS issue is solved in latest version of CM 10.1 by Oliver96.
I'm on the latest Maclaw's release and the GPS is working great also Sygic 13.1 has no problem to find my location in couple of seconds and the ROM anyway is without any issues! Just to tell...

Weak GPS

Hi,
I have a really weak GPS signal with my S5 Mini G800F. So I searched in web and found that many people had problems with GPS on Galaxy series. I found this thread for S3 complaining about weak GPS signal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44725977#post44725977
My question: Anyone else has weak GPS and find a solution for it? Can I test the "solution" for S3 with S5 Mini too?
Thanks in advance!
Not all S5 mini have bad GPS !
Search here on XDA and you wil find some have made a mod to thier phone.
I posted a hardware fix for a S5 (Duos) here:
