Worked like a charm. Used NorthEast BTW
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajm786:
I'm confused. So should we have that option OFF on our Inspire 4Gs? Or leave it on? For instance, in CM7, which I'm running now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
It's ok to leave the option for wireless networks enabled as long as wifi is disabled. Cell towers will give better triangulation than your router.

[HTC Inspire 4G] eric70634:
Wow..this worked amazing. Before I'd go 5min with no lock...and no chance inside my house if getting a lock....I used the one for Louisiana and I had locked in with 7 sats within 20sec inside my house.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
:)

Eric70634 Glad to hear it, hoping the the 1.2 I am releasing tonight will have the same results if not better. Thanks for the results.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mepis:
How will this effect locks with regional travels? Example: I live in pa but am going to Florida for vacation. Will lock times take longer if in a different region?
[HTC Inspire 4G] berryman13:
It's 4/23! Lets hope 1.2 fixes the issues some of us were having.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
Being that your in the same location I am, it would be best to flash the South East region, so that You have a local area instead of by PA, it MIGHT not make a difference, but I would download it just in case.

berryman13,

I know its 4/23, I am actually working on the Countries at the moment, The USA is done, but I want to finish the 62+ countries and release all of them at once. So as soon as I am done, it will be Posted, and I'll update the post here to reflect it, I just didnt realize its Easter Weekend :D

Also what issues are you having? So this way I can tell you if this will help or not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] berryman13:
Generally sluggish gps, not very good accuracy.

Try reflashing your radio as well.

Just flashed. Getting about 10 second locks indoors, 10 meter accuracy. Is that the best I'll get? If so, I'm not complaining :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
1.2 has been released. Post results, problems, questions. Please make a backup of the file you are using before flashing. Also it is a good idea to backup your system just in case.

Use the thanks buttons and leave the posts for the above mentioned reasons :)

Berryman, 10 second locks and it finds you within 30feet, I think both of those are great results, but I'll let everyone tell you, I could be wrong.

I'm unable to download 1.2. When I click the link it goes to "page not found".

I was able to down the NorthAmerica.zip but unable to download southmidstates.zip.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
Can someone up the North East zip? The download link is not working. Thanks in advance - I really want to install this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajm786:
I'm wondering if I should install this. Right now, my GPS works; it takes about 30 seconds to a minute to get a lock, then it progresses and is able to reach about 9-10 sats. Best I've seen is 11 sats w/accuracy of 19m. Is this good enough to not warrant the need for this script?

Oh, and I'm running CM7 right now.

Thanks. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
Sorry USA Links fixed, all working now. I missed a "." in the file name.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
I haven't really read any cases in which it didn't help. I'm on cm7 myself and it takes between 30 sec and 2 min
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajm786:
Ok, just downloaded to try to install. Getting an error "Status 6. Installation aborted." I read the original HD2 thread and seems that everyone else is having the same problem.

All files Fixed, USA and International, The updater script got corrupted during all the files being compressed. All files now are flashable again.

I am truly sorry for the screw up!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
After applying the update. This was sitting on my front porch. I have never seen 12 sats and less than a second!?!?!
[HTC Inspire 4G] vwyodapink:
Thanks for the great work!

Here is what I have done with your work. I have put all the setting for my area of the US in my gps.conf and compiled my own CM rom with the changes in there. Before on stock CM it would take about a minute indoors to get a full fix. With these changes I am averaging about 5seconds to lock indoors and with in 10 seconds I am locked to 9+ sats.

Thanks for your hard work. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Doo Doo:
this is great thanks for creating this for us to use AngelDeath i get great gps signal & locks :D

Incredibly, my phone went from not seeing any satellites at all, even outside, to getting a 6 satellite fix in 27 seconds inside my house. Amazing!

May I ask what app that is?

its called gps test found in the market

thx for the quick reply. I downloaded GPS Status and was wonder why my screen didn't look like that. thx for the link for GPS test!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajm786:
For some reason, version 1.1 works great for me. 1.2 seemed to break GPS.

I am running CM7 on my phone. I cleared Dalvik cache as well as the cache partition, didn't make a difference. Flashing 1.1 always does the trick.

What changed between the two?
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
ajm786,

Added more gps command codes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] javanutsy:
Downloaded using computer (phone download doesn't work), and the results are amazing! Thank-you so much :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
AMAZING! The regional for new mexico area version 1.2 broke gps it seems using Inspire with RCMix GB Rom. Flashed the 1.0 North america and got 8+ satellites locked in under 20 seconds! Where do I donate?!? I have been struggling with GPS every since I bought this phone but no more! Will this work on a Acer a500 Iconia tab running honeycomb!?!
[HTC Inspire 4G] buradd:
OMG

this WORKS amazing! my only question!!!! WHY ISNT THIS ALREADY INCLUDED IN LIKE... CM7 ???

there used to be a gps fix & audio fix to flash after the nightlies but then they "added" it to the build.. it doesnt do **** compared to the script made by angel death

i ran this weeks ago and every time i pull up Maps or GPS status i get a lock almost instantly indoors or outdoors...

ive NEVER seen my cell GPS work this great on any phone
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
Agree. This should be done from the manufacturer. Companies half ass this stuff these days. My Iphone got lock instantly and it's nice to finally have good gps reception on android! All roms should include this from the get go! My GPS before this fix was almost unusable.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
The 1.2 shouldnt have broken anything, but thats why I said to people back up your current file, just in case. The new mexico region would be either south mid state for best possibly connection, or you could try South West, both 1.2, you should also try the 1.1 version, and see if that works or breaks it, reason being, then I could try and hone in on what could be the reason why 1.0 works and the others dont.

The more testing, the better improving I could do if thats even possible at this point. And yes, it should work on your Acer, from my already testing this in the Inspire forum and the Aria forum and having wonderful results, leads me to believe this will work on any Android phone, especially Native android phones.

And as for the donate, under my sig if you still would like to, Smokes and Coffee does wonders :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
buradd,

Part of the reason why this isnt included in the custom roms, is because some dont think it makes a difference, others which I could understand rather leave it as stock as possible so there is very little in the form of errors in their build, and with so many different add-ons that people make the Rom Chefs I believe leave it up to the user to decide what to install and what not to. Because partly as well, if they added every mod into a rom then it would get bigger and bigger.

Also some Rom Chefs, are starting to put this into their roms, But the biggest hurdle of this is that since I am breaking it down to specific regions or countries, it is hard to choose which should go in, some chefs are just using the North America 1.0 to add into their US builds, while the Europe version is getting the Europe 1.0 versions.

But not being a programmer its quite hard coming from windows into android, But I am working on something that might make all Chefs start using this, and making it easier for users.

9646gt, if you read my main post of these scripts, I gave my opinion as to why they dont, partly because they use generic code to avoid problems, and second, I dont think (only an opinion) they thought of it, remember everyone cant think outside of the box, thats why its called innovation.

But if they start to use what I do, they better start paying me royalities! lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I'm also running RCMix 5.9.7 and after flashing 1.2 I couldn't get a GPS lock to save my life. So I flashed 1.1 and BAM, GPS working top-notch again.

Edit: This is for North East

Ugh I want root on the a500 lol. Mine is delayed getting here via ups because of storms. Should be delivered tmrw!
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Even without root I really am digging it. My Inspire has been reduced to a mobile hotspot/dumphone combo and my Asus g73 has been reduced to dead weight. Well worth the money.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
Thank you for the beers, I have added your name to the running list in my main post.

Working on my next version. But have to get over a few hurdles first.

Still would like to know if the 1.1 works or breaks the mexico user. Apparently I found a couple of more codes which has intrigued me yet again :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
I will try and test the New Mexico one tmrw if I get the chance :) Keep up the good work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
This GPS fix is incredible. On CM7, while outdoors on a clear day it would always take 30-60 seconds to get a lock, if I got a lock at all. Forget about it indoors. With this fix in place, my first lock was in 14 seconds, and subsequent locks were 3-4 seconds. Indoors I am still getting a lock in only 7-15 seconds. Very good!!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmiusa02:
Wanted to ask if anyone after putting in the patch had the GPS workin ON and OFF, ON and OFF.....

Like mine locks for a little bit, then it goes on SEARCHING again....

Did i miss something?
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
About to test the 1.1 version now. 1.0 mysteriously stopped working. Tried reflashing the zip of 1.0 and would not lock after over a minute.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
Well I tried flashing all_usgps_1.1.zip and it just gives me an error and doesn't seem to flash. With 1.0 I am back to having very mixed gps results. It takes a long time to get lock and then the reception is bad. It's perfectly clear outside. Is there anything I can try?
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
Someone either it was in this forum, or the aria forum had made a suggestion to another member about re-flashing the radio, both you and 9646gt might want to look into that possibly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmiusa02:
Ok, here is the results i got......

The BEST one for the HTC Inspire is the one that said NORTHAMERICA

That one did it for me...works like a charm....stable...and FAST AS $&^#.

To whoever wrote this script, thanks so much!

You don't know all the trouble i was getting with the GPS...now its one less thing to worry about.

NORTHAMERICA guys...that's the one i think will work fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
i know this isnt as useful as a post as other people's butttt i install 1.2 for northeast and i still can't get a lock (indoors) though. when i tried getting a lock outdoors, i was walking down the street on a moderately cloudy day and couldn't get more than 3 maybe 4 sats locked after 3-4 minutes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] waitisover:
I have version 1.1 installed.

I am generally getting lock within few seconds, this was inside my home.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
Thank you :)

And could you tell me your location? I'm a bit curious as to why the NA worked best for you. I am working on a minor update and would like to try and get as best as I can consistent for everyone if at all possible.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
Try this one, this is the 1.1 version, and report back with your results.
[HTC Inspire 4G] waitisover:
Don't know what issue is but yesterday where I was getting 10-12 Satelites. locks at the same place now I am getting no lock, I went out and after 3-4 mins it locked on 3-4 satellites. I am in Northeast and have Northeast 1.1 installed, this worked fine since last few days until this morning.

I didn't install any new program, now while typing this I tried the GPS Test again and this time it picked up 8-10 satellites in under 10 second.

I see that your gps.conf has many NTP servers, how does it work? does the program tries to connect to each of these servers?
[HTC Inspire 4G] trilljester:
My results are not looking good so far. :(

I'm indoors, and in California. I flashed the 1.2 Southwest version and got nothing. Not a single sat indoors. I flashed 1.1 and same thing. I'm going to go outside in a few minutes and report back on my results.

Couple of things though, I just switched to CM7 last night and have not used the GPS at all. I cleared my GPS cache with GPS Status, so I think the key is to get an initial lock outdoors in a clear sky. Once I have that, I'll try indoors later this afternoon.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trilljester:
OK, outside everything worked great! Indoors, still no sats. I guess it's just the building I work in. But outside, I picked up a first lock within 15 seconds or so! I turned the GPS off, drove to lunch, turned it back on at the lunch place and got a lock within 8 seconds. Good stuff here! Thank you!
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
Do remember that there are different things that will play a factor in the gps, as some may argue this is incorrect, but I dont believe it is.

1) Weather.

2) Time of day.

3) GPS Cache.

4) Rom (If using Custom roms).

Also just like when we had the GPS in Windows Mobile, there was a program called QuickGPS, this would download all the gps data so that it was suppose to make the locks quicker. The gps data is only good for 7 days as they say, I think it much less, like 3 to 4 days. Downloading this info does imporve lock times since the "xtra.bin" file that is downloaded contains all the sat data and locations.

I also would like to make on thing clear, The purpose of the GPS is to have a quick lock when needed outside, either walking, driving, biking. I see many people testing this "Indoors", as much as I pleased that some of you have locks indoors, it is much more imperative to have locks outdoors, where you will be using your gps. Buildings, houses, department stores, etc, have alot of concrete, wood, etc that a signal that is not that strong (According to a site 1500mhz) your asking alot for a signal to pass thru all that interference. Hell if wifi's lose signal, then why should the gps signal be any different.

And as I said before, If you have lived or worked in the building/house for a week already, I dont think you need the gps to guide you to the bathroom :)

Just wanted to say that after flashing North East 1.2 it did not help. However after flashing 1.1 for the North East here in NJ, all I can say is WOW ! what a diffrence. Almost instant signal, with a Speck case and indoors. Thank you for this.

Also I am currently running ultimatedroid 1.8

I know this was discussed a few pages back, but I live in the Southeast region, and am traveling to the West coast next month. What will happen out there if I flash my current region?

Thanks..
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
You may experience longer lock times possibly, it would be a good idea to take a copy on your sdcard of the region your going to jusyt in case.

I am in the process of working on a solution for this, with the help of another XDA member. If all goes well, I might have a solution for the future.

I have an inspire 4G and wanted to let you know that the version 1.2 did not work but the version 1.1 worked perfectly even inside the house. I could not get a gps lock in version 1.2.

I hit the thanks button already.

I got excited and tried it my samsung captivate (I pushed the gps.conf file with adb) and it worked on the captivate also. I used version 1.1. This is fantastic! I could never get a gps lock (inside or outside) on the captivate with any rom. Currently using cm-7. Thanks again!
[HTC Inspire 4G] alexland:
Can you repost the 1.1 files? I tried 1.2 on CM7 and it didn't work for me. Now that I'm back to stock I'm going to give 1.1 a shot per your advice.

I love the scripts! I am using the one for Texas, and it works like a charm. It is now something I run after every single rom install, or CM7 nightly flash!

For some reason your files dont work for me, so i must manually push gps.conf by adb. Im using Inspire 4G on cm7. But still good work man!
[HTC Inspire 4G] borisb:
I could not find the file on the FTP.

Can u send me a link?

and is it good as the regional settings?
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
stressak, this is possible cause of the layout of the Inspire, the CWR were made for HD2, that could be the reason why.

borisb, Irs421 is right, the NorthAmerica would be the one for travellers.

And the link is big and Bold, but here it is: Click here
[HTC Inspire 4G] gewbert3:
I flashed this (Northeast), and the initial lock is not really a problem (though for some reason it initially thinks sometimes i'm in Nevada....i'm in PA, lol). The problem is that when I use Google Navigation, it works for a bit, but then once the screen is off for a minute or two, it looses the GPS lock and I have to exit out and redo it.

Also, sometimes the lock doesn't work with google navigation at all. I'm running an Inspire 4g with Cyanogenmod 7.0.3
[HTC Inspire 4G] boomerod:
Works fantastically! Thanks AOD, this is very good work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
As I have said, in others threads, and probably here, it seems that the CM7 roms are having issues, I dont know why in all honesty. I would suggest try a different rom, just to test.

adb?

Sorry for the newb Q, but how do you "use adb" to manually push the file? Is it a software you use or an app? Thank you...
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
Either you the android sdk which you would push the files, or if you go to the main thread on post 2 there is a file an xda member made to push the file, all you have to do is drop the gps.conf file into the folder and run the app off your computer (Phone connected charge only).

[HTC Inspire 4G] louslugger15:
I live in KY and did the NorthEast zip and my GPS will not lock on at all. Is there a way to reverse this or do some of you have an answer if you've maybe had the same issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
At the moment I do not have south Africa, I would suggest to find in the list a place closest to you and try that, Since most are saying 1.1 is working better then 1.2 i would say try that, if you still have problems locking, let me know and i will see what I can do for you.
