What to explain??

That the gps.conf has only a "placebo" effect and the settings from here http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/339249/gps-issue-fr15/#entry1696600 are the best for fast and stable GPS?! What do you want more? :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
so far I only see "half educated" (no offense) guesses in your posts, no actual evidence that what you say is true.

Because if the HiddenMenu was the "one and only" way to achieve fast GPS fixes all phones (except LGs) would probably suck monkey-balls at getting a solid lock (which they don't)

The only thing those settings do, is change the SUP server (which the gps.conf defines) and switch two parameters around which may result in faster fixes for some people but are by no means a holy grail which makes the gps.conf obsolete.

For me (on Stock ROM) the HiddenMenu settings made no difference at all, but a factory reset did, so should wiping/resetting be the ultimate cure for bad gps? Of course not.

Having the (correct) gps.conf resident on your ROM (in fact it isn't even present on stock LG ROMS nevertheless the system throws an error message at boot time that it is missing) helps your phone obtain exact time and xtra-data from the appropriate servers. The LG settings in the HiddenMenu may give you better results in some scenarios, but it is not a replacement for the conf.

Just my 2 cents.
[LG Optimus 2x] tasar:
Believe it or not! You must not do it.

Many,many people help this entries in hidden menu to get fast an stable fix, and many of them, test it before with the gps.conf, with no luck.

And i have delete my gps.conf and get fix i round about 10-15 sec.

And i test ist without edit the hidden menu but set the same entries in gps.conf (Nokia Server, etc) but i wait a long time for a fix

And this is fact! But do want you want!
[LG Optimus 2x] lozza69er:
The gps.conf didn't make any difference on my gps, couldn't get a lock at all. After using the nokia server trick my gps worked straight away.
[LG Optimus 2x] helmi666:
Who should use it : South east Asian & Singaporean

What does it do : Connect to SG server.

Installation : apply zip in CWM Recovery

For which ROM´s : All

Credits to the Original Poster. Cheers.
[LG Optimus 2x] El Norupz:
I did the hidden_menu fix and it worked like a charm! Sitting indoors in Denmark gave me a gps lock after 10-15 sec. Did a test in maps before i tried out the hidden_menu and couldn't get a gps fix at all...

So if u are using a stock or MCR rom, go for the hidden_menu fix ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] choccy31:
Ok,

Well I installed the patch twice now and also used the Nokia settings and still no joy.

Takes ages to connect and then when it finally does, it holds the lock for 2 seconds at most!

This is getting bloody annoying now! :mad:

Anyone have any ideas?

:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
you completed this steps in hidden menu ??

check it again, it should work for everybody :

1. Go into the LG hidden menu

2. Go into GPS Test

3. Go into System Settings

4. MOLR Protocol (is set to User-Plane)

5. SULP Setting -> SLP Server Setting, I created a new one for the nokia servers (slp address: supl.nokia.com, port: 7275, no cert and no TLS setting)

6. SLP Auto Provision is activated
[LG Optimus 2x] choccy31:
Done 3 times already lol

Still bad :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] jan1000:
Mine was rather slow with getting à fix: about 2 minutes.

With THE Nokia fix: less than 15 seconds!

What i don't understand is that these software tweaks can make such a difference!
[LG Optimus 2x] K.D.M.:
the nokia thing works... i never installed the gps fix file
[LG Optimus 2x] katun79:
+1

Please some1 can paste the gps.conf after hidden menu fix?

And what are the ips used by Nokia servers? :D
[LG Optimus 2x] grinnerD:
I too would also like a copy of gps.conf after changing the hidden menu. I'm on cm7 and do not have hidden menu availble.

many thanks for your help
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
you can use this gps.conf , it uses nokia servers ...

gps.conf
[LG Optimus 2x] choccy31:
Guys,

How can i delete the CONF file?

I installed it before using the Nokia fix and my GPS still doesn't work very well at all.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
delete gps.conf in system/etc with root explorer (mount rw first)
[LG Optimus 2x] choccy31:
Thanks,

I have deleted and rebooted and will see now if this nokia fix works.

People saying connects in doors after 10-15 secs!

Hmmm let's compare now.
[LG Optimus 2x] choccy31:
Oh well, still not working for me :-(

GPS Fail.
[LG Optimus 2x] cymox:
I just edited the server via the app fasterfix to nokia via custom settings. I m getting a fix in front of the window inside in 10 -15 seconds. I have the 502 baseband with Cm #31, location Apeldoorn The Netherlands
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
that´s how it should be ;)

edited gps.conf in first post to use nokia servers as standard ...
[LG Optimus 2x] grinnerD:
thanks, i tried that, but still no fix on cm build 31.
[LG Optimus 2x] XT69:
but i cannot use the nokia server solution if i do not have mobile internet connection... it's kinda useless for me...

How to access a menu to hide?

I can not settle with the GPS parameter nokia!

I'm Modaco fr18 beta 2

thank you
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
access hidden menu :

In launcher pro you just press and hold on one of the home screens until a menu shows up.

Select "Shortcuts" then choose "Activities" scroll down until you find com.lge.hiddenmenu.

tap on it then tap on HiddenMenu. now you have a shortcut on the home screen.

if you have cooked ROM without hidden menu, you can use my zip to install in recovery first :

hidden-menu
[LG Optimus 2x] alessa:
A big thank you :-D
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
is there a special way to create a zip that can be flashed?

i extracted your archive to do some adjustments to the gps file and zipped it again but im not able to flash it.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
not really, easiest way is : just take gps.conf file out of zip, open it, modify it, save it, put it back into zip (overwrite old one), flash it ;
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
thanks, that worked:) you mind telling me how you created the zip so it works?
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
it´s not so difficult

to make it easy, you should have the same folder structure in this zip like on your phone

to flash other folders/files to phone, just modify updater-script with text editor (best is PSPAD !!)

just open my file, you will find out ...
[LG Optimus 2x] refaa:
i dont know what iam doing wrong but i followed the steps

In launcher pro you just press and hold on one of the home screens until a menu shows up.

Select "Shortcuts" then choose "Activities" scroll down until you find com.lge.hiddenmenu.

tap on it then tap on HiddenMenu. now you have a shortcut on the home screen.

[LG Optimus 2x] arrediabo:
How to do this? At the moment, my gps.conf is the one installed through the fix.

NTP_SERVER=pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.nokia.com

SUPL_PORT=7275

In the link you provided ( http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/ ), there is this for Portugal:

To use this pool zone, add the following to your ntp.conf file:

server 2.pt.pool.ntp.org

server 1.europe.pool.ntp.org

server 2.europe.pool.ntp.org

i just add those lines in the gps.conf as shown below??

NTP_SERVER=pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

server 2.pt.pool.ntp.org

server 1.europe.pool.ntp.org

server 2.europe.pool.ntp.org

SUPL_HOST=supl.nokia.com

SUPL_PORT=7275

a bit confused about how to do this.

By the way, neither the hidden menu and manually set the nokia server nor the fix worked for me. sometimes i get a good fix, sometimes i just don't, although there are 9-10 sats in sight. it keeps with 0 used.

(i always have data on)

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGA2009:
Hi.

I have a cracked screen (soon to be fixed) Dell Streak 5.

When I connect it to my PC it detects it as USB Input device and install the driver for it.

If I try to change the driver and use QDL Tool Windows says the @location does not have hardware information). I tried Windows 7 and XP with the same results.

MAC and Linux detects it as Qualcomm but there is nothing I can do as there is no ADB server nor FASTBOOT.

The only post regarding this does not have any replies so I dont know what to do.

Best Regards.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGA2009:
Anyone knows? A little help would be appreciated.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alperin1:
where did you get the drivers?

Maybe you can get the dell drivers or load the SDK for android it will install drivers too.

What is the end result you want?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGA2009:
I have Android SDK installed, which works properly with other phones.

My question is why does my Streak is recognized as a USB Input Device?

Is it normal?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] passion8059:
To get my streak working I had to install dell drivers (got it via here just click on downloads tab and install software but don't launch program after drivers have installed http://www.unlockstreak.com/pages/d...?ref=874b1d7212afe8cc4672f2f53d9976c12a5ea0e5).

After this I launched QDL Tool held vol up and inserted usb cable which launched Qualcomm HS-USB 9002 driver which won't be found, you need to go to drivers which should be in a folder that comes with QDL Tool.

So should go as Drivers - Driver_2.067 - Win 32 (or 64 if your running a 64 bit system) - Whatever OS you are running - qcser - Select 2nd option of Qualcomm Drivers and search for Qualcomm HS-USB 9002 should install when you double click on it and should be ready to go.

Check if QDL Tool has recognised driver via communications port if not close down and reopen.

Click on RUN if driver success and should start restoring Streak, should know when complete as it goes green when done and good.

Note: When installing driver have to manually install it so a case of Update Driver, Browse my computer, Let Me pick, Have Disk, Browse when it shows path to select, then go to path whever QDL is extracted (eg Desktop) and follow folder paths above to get it installed.

Hope this is clear and also hope it helps!!! Good Luck :p

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daavt:
Hi All,

listen to this, I hope someone heard about something similar.

I run a small organization on Exchange 2003. Most users use ActiveSync on Symbian.

I recently purchased 2 SGT´s and the following occured:

- on tablet no. 1 after exchange settings I see all email folders as intended, I can browse through tens of folders just fine.

- on tablet no. 2 after exchange settings I cannot open the folders tab and when I try to move some message to folder the application crashes. What needs to be said is that this user has multiple domain names in email, eg. sends and receives email from both *@abc.com and *xyz.com.

The organization itself runs only on 1 domain name.

I tried 2 different settings. Firstly entering email *@abc.com but domain XYZ/username and I could not even open the folders list.

Then I entered *xyz.com and domain XYZ/username. This time I could browse the folders but whenever I touched any one to open the application just closes.

Note: tablet no. 1 is off the market and runs an original and latest Samsung factory firmware, while no. 2 runs Vodafone branded firmware.

I am absolutely desperate.

ANYONE ideas what´s wrong and what to DO ?

Many Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoMarK:
This is obviously a bug, and i don't think you can do much about the default mail.apk to solve this.

But you can try touchdown from the market.

Also, you could try if it works on the other tab with the samsung firmware. If it is...flashing a custom rom wil also be an alternative.

I have repeating problems with my Vodaphone branded (but unlocked) GT using the stock email app syncing with NHS.NET exchange server.

I'm also running Touchdown which works fine, but I much prefer the sync with the contacts and calendar whcih I can only get with the stock email/calendar/contacts sync, and I can put contacts and things onto the home screen from the stock app. which aren't good from Touchdown.

But the sync with Exchange stops every two days because of a "security error" and the only solution is to remove the account and run through the set up again whcih resyncs all the data. Touchdown continues to have no problems through these episodes.

Bit frustrating.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brookfield:
I have an issue that after searching the forums, could not find anyone reporting this issue.

I am trying to use MediaFly application that provides access to Video Podcasts. One of the Podcasts I wanted to view is "NBC Nightly News" this is a HD video podcast that is in .m4v format and when it tries to play I get Video tearing (Reminds me of old TV with bad Horz adjustment). I then used the Download option to get a LOCAL copy of the Podcast file and tried playing it with RockPlayer. When asked by RockPlayer if I wanted to use HARDWARE or SOFTWARE decoding, I selected hardware and it started to play and has the exact same video tearing. I then went back and tried Software Decoding and it plays fine (No tearing). I have tried a number of methods to resolve this and searched my brains out trying to get Rock Player as the Default video player (No luck). In some applications it asks me what player I want to use (File Manager) and if I choose Rock Player, It will play fine but for others I still get tearing.

I have tried both versions of Mediafly with no luck.

I am running Vegan-Tab GingerEdition 7.0.0

Any help is appreciated..
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
It's a wonder you got it to play at all with HW acceleration, as that is broken in VeganGinger.

MediaFly must use its own built-in player, if so you have no control over it. Your best bet is local download, or wait for better drivers supporting HW decoding, or switch to a Froyo based Rom which fully supports HW decoding.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brookfield:
That is what I was afraid of. I was hoping there was a way to disable Hardware Deconding so that whatever Player an App uses to play video, it would just use software decoding (At least Until newer drivers are available).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fbn02:
it isnt just veganginger, any rom based on GB does not support hardware video, you need a froyo based rom for hardware video.

at least thats what i have been reading here on the forums.

pretty sure rockplayer has a setting that you can tell it software only.

Dave
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brookfield:
Yes, Rockplayer does support Software deconding and it works great! The problem is I have no way to tell some apps (MediaFly) to use ROCK PLAYER as the video stream renderer and even when I can specify Rock player, I sometimes defaults to Hardware decode.

My uderstanding is the the App "Galary" is the default player and it does not appear to ahve a way to setup for no hardware decode.

I really like Vegan-Tab GingerEditon and do not want to go back to Froyo and thiis issue is not enought of a problem to consider reverting.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmr405o:
I think Vital Player defaults to Software decoding, you might want to try that player. I have both Rock and Vital on my gtab. I switch from time to time based on performance on a certain video file.

Also, do you have a custom kernel installed on your gtab? I thought pershoots kernel had some form of hardware decoding. You might want to give that a shot too.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brookfield:
I download the Vital player and it works, but so did Rock Player. Has anyone used Pershoots Kernel with Vegan-Tab GingerEdition. I tried last week, and the WiFi stopped working and I had to re-install GingerEdition.

I know I should just shut up and wait for updated kernel Hardware drivers, but I like having a challenge to keep me busy.

Again thanks everyone for their input and suggestions.
