I want to say soma is correct with regards to the kernel. Prior to pushing your file over, my gps was fast, but wasn't as fast as yours. Meaning its a matter of seconds really. Whereas I run gps fix and now I got a fix before the map loads up, which never happened in the past.

As for trying it with a different kernel, I'll do that later maybe after work if my 3 yr old stops "helping" me on my netbook lol.

As for a faster and more reliable way of installing your gps.conf, IMO is to just simply push the file to the /system/etc folder. But I know a lot of people are wary of adb commands and much rather flash and forget it, but I think trying out adb commands are worth the practice and with this it's easy peasy to push it over via adb. As for a simple flash, well I guess if they are on a stock kernel they can try to flash it once you mount your system under recovery. Or when flashing a new rom or update, they can revert and flash a stock kernel first, flash your zip file and reboot, but seems like a bit more work than just pushing the gps.conf file.

With either extracting your gps.conf or mine stripped down with your info, here's a basic adb/shell command thread to help people on their way if they choose to.

Back to topic: as stated before, locking onto my gps now is a breeze. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

Make a backup of your current gps.conf from your phone under /system/etc so you can revert back to that file if this one doesn't work for you.

As for installation, just push that file over or even use root explorer.

EDIT 2. From work (office window with view of sky), I tried to get a lock but it did not lock even though gps test saw the sats. Ever since flashing roms, I think wifi has a conflicting issue when trying to get a gps lock. I then turned off wifi, let the phone sit for a minute to let it get the 4g up and going and then tried the gps test again. I then got 8 sats and then opened up gps fix to see how fast I could get a fix and like before, the gps locked my location before it fully loaded up. Pretty cool IMO. LOL

And after the lock, I can go ahead and turn wifi on again and it no longer conflicts with the gps lock issue. Weird work around, but that's how I have been able to get gps locking to work.
[HTC Sensation] crypted:
I think I know how to resolve that wifi issue. I can give you the test version of 1.3.

If v1.3 works fine AND if you can help me draft instructions on specifically installing on your device, I can post the full-support thread.

Are you up for this? If so, please draft and message me instructions. And, I'll send you the test version of 1.3 for your flashing pleasure.
[HTC Sensation] steve841:
Well ..didn't seem to do any good for me ... stock rom .. rooted.

There has to be a way to allow it to position based on less satellites .... damn it.
[HTC Sensation] crypted:
All: try these two patches individually instead: http://derekgordon.com/gps-files/worldwide1.2-t.zip and http://derekgordon.com/gps-files/worldwide1.2-tn.zip

If one doesn't work well, try the other. This solved a problem with some Tunisia users. It has to do with GPS and Wifi conflicts when the phone has an older GPS unit built in.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
What do you want me to draft up? I'd help if I can of course. OH nvm I think I got it lol....sending you a pm.
[HTC Sensation] crypted:
Thanks.

All: let me know how those test builds (posted above) and the one in private message (kpjimmy) work out on your Sensations. I feel confident that we can make this release happen next week when v1.3 comes out.
[HTC Sensation] soma900:
Dear crypted,

Your configure script works on HTC sensation. Thanks! Great work! Got a lock in 10 seconds. before it is really difficult and take ages to get a lock.

Did not flash it just change the file property "readonly" with RE. Copy and overwrite.

I am sorry I do not understand what is an NOHZ kernel. I am a noob.

By the way I am using a modded ROM of LeeDroid 3.1.0. S-OFF, Revolution recovery 5.0.2.0. Thus ROOTED. Now every program use GPS-sat get a quick lock within 10 seconds. You shall promote your script to every ROM-devs. I highly recommand your script!
[HTC Sensation] steve841:
Yeah ... if you could just post the gps.conf file ... I find that much easier to add using file explorer rather than flashing the .zip.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] crypted:
Okay. If y'all could private message instructions on how to copy the GPS configuration over to the /system/etc folder, I would appreciate it.

I have one set of instructions sent to me thus far. I'd just want to make sure we have all of the various methods ready to post when I release the Sensation version.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Faux kernel no go for me so I am trying another. The bricked 0.5ver. Flashing now and will report back.:D

EDIT:Back in the office. Flashed the bricked 0.5 v kernel and then flashed the test 1.3 gps script.

Got about 5 sats in use and in view using GPS test and locked it with 10 seconds. Not as fast as 1.2 but still quick. Maybe because it's looking at the worldwide servers before seeing where I am? I was using 1.2 US gps script.

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

Just download whichever file you want to use and extract the zip under system/etc and then push the gps.conf over via adb or root explorer.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxslt1:
For about the last 3 weeks my phone will not charge to 100%. It'll get to about 80% and that's it. Last night I got my new battery and a stand alone wall charger. I charged the new battery in the stand alone charger and put it in the phone and it reads 87%. I put the battery back in the stand alone charger and it says fully charged so I check the battery with my meters and it reads 4.195 volts and from what I've read 4200 mv is fully charged, 4.195 v is reeeeeeeeally close to a full charge. Can anybody tell me how to fix this? Is it a hardware problem? Does the phone not read voltages right? I just installed shiftao5p rom last night and still the same problem. I've read of a few others having this problem but have yet to find a fix for it. Don't tell me to calibrate the battery because I CAN NOT get to 100% so I can be able to calibrate.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert542:
If you have clockworkmod recovery you can calibrate from there. Make sure your battery is completely charged in your stand alone then go into recovery and choose erase battery stats, its in the advanced menu I believe. That might work for you. Good luck.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxslt1:
I was gonna try that when I got home tonight. After I clear battery stats in clockwork should I leave it unplugged and let it drain to zero then try to charge back to 100%?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
The charge percentage is reported as based upon battery stats. Let me explain how your battery stats may lead to some weird readings...

Lets say you've got a battery that charges to 4.2V. As it discharges, it drops off uncharacteristically slow. Then, you use a battery where the voltage drop is more linear. The stats have determined that over the life of the old battery the voltage remains fairly flat for the first 15% to 20% or so, but the new battery drops off a bit quicker so it's going to look at that voltage drop as a sudden drop in charge capacity.

This situation can be aggravated my many factors. If your battery is reading a full charge, which it sounds like it is based upon your meter readings, then the next question to ask is whether the battery is achieving the life it should based on it's mAh rating. I'd be curious to see what the battery voltage is once it's flat dead. If it's not reading somewhere around 3.6 to 3.7 volts, then the phone probably is defective and not reading voltage properly. If it is reading that kind of voltage, then it's just an annoyance and hopefully battery stat wiping will remedy it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrenalinemotion:
i can leave my phone on the charger for hours and it will only get to 99%, then it takes another hour or so to read "fully charged"
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
What kind of battery and kernel are you using?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert542:
Yes let it drain all the way till you phone shuts it self off then charge it back up to 100% again in the phone. Hopefully your phone will build the correct stats. If your phone isn't defective it should work for you. Hope all goes well.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxslt1:
Something else odd......the battery I'm using right now is a cheap Chinese eBay battery, 3500 mAh. It ran down to about 10% in about 3 hours so I pulled it and put in a fresh one. So I decided to put it back in and run it all the way down and then check the voltage on it. That was an hour ago when I put it in. It quickly dropped from 8% to 2% in about 10 minutes but since then I've been using the phone solid without a break trying to shut the phone off and it has not moved off 2% in about 45 minutes. Very odd.

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

One more thing, I do not recommended these cheap azz eBay batteries or there extended battery covers. As you know the 4g and GPS antenna is in the battey cover and these cheaper one do not work. I got the batteries and cover last night and as soon as I put one in and turned the phone on it immediately went to 1x. I finally figured out it was the antenna, or lack thereof, so I modified it to get it to work. Pure junk. I normally go with seidio stuff and will buy nothing but that from now on.

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

It finally shut off after sitting on 2% for an hour of solid use on the web, Facebook and youtube. The voltage is 3.682.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Don't know if you looked, but the batteries HTC uses are cheap Chinese junk, which is why I tell people to not replace HTC batteries with HTC batteries. Better can be had.

As for the LTE antenna, the Tbolt doesn't have just one. The LTE spec requires dual antennas. The second antenna is located in the bottom of the phone underneath the ligher colored portion. LTE reception should roll over to that antenna if the other one is some how encumbered.

That voltage looks about right. And it appears the phone detected it correctly and took the correct action. Hopefully a wipe of stats fixes things.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxslt1:
All I know is before I modified the antenna 4g would drop in and out constantly then it would drop to 3g and it was in and out til it finally settled on 1x. After I modified it it stayed on 4g all night with a decent dl speed.

I hope this fixes it but I've wiped stats 20 times this week in clockwork and a battery cal app with no change but I didn't get the stand alone charger til last night so fingers crossed.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I'm sorry... flat dead voltage should be around 3.1 to 3.2. If you're phone is shutting off at 3.6v, it probably isn't reading voltage correctly.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxslt1:
Any suggestions? What I don't understand is why it would charge fine for the first month that I had it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Wish I had something wise to say, but I don't.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxslt1:
I charged it in the phone with it off all night, about 7 hours, and it shows 4.17 volts on the meter but it only showed 88% charge when I turned the phone on. Are you sure about the dead flat voltage? Is this just for the thunderbolt or droids in general? The reason I ask is because I ran down my incredible until it shut off and the voltage on it was 3.7, pretty close to the thunderbolt battery ran down. I think I'm getting the full use of my battery on the tbolt, the phone just wont show the correct voltage for some reason. Somebody needs to make an app that allows you to offset between what the battery voltage actually is and what the phone displays.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
3.163 volts is what my Tbolt calls flat dead. I've never meter tested the battery, but that sounds right to me. 3.7 is the nominal voltage; a mean between the min and max. If someone else could confirm what I'm saying, that would be helpful. If you like I can post some screen shots of the app I'm getting that data from.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxslt1:
I would rather have a meter reading on it. Last night I kept checking voltage with my app and just before it went dead it was showing about 3.3 to 3.4 volts but the meter said 3.6. I'm sure it might read a lil lower with the app since it has a load on it but I don't trust the apps. A good meter wont lie.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Let me see what I can do. I'll check the voltage via meter and if it matches what my app is saying, I'll assume the app is reading honest.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxslt1:
That would be great. The stock battery is doing the same thing the other did last night. Its been sitting on 2% for about 2 hours and an hour of that was of heavy use. I dl a battery monitor and it graphs over time and the voltage has not moved off of 3.511 in at least 2 hours. This is messed up.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inferno1:
I hope someone can figure this out, My (used) TBolt has been like this since I got it, now my wifes just started not charging to 100% 2 days ago, looks like she has the same issue...

Ive tried the wiping bat stats, loading roms, different batteries, chargers, etc...

Nothing has fixed it yet... just having to live with it...

hoping by some miracle the 2.3 OTA may fix it.... (but not holding my breadth)

[EVO 4G General] sbradymobile:
You should consider looking at the code for GpsLocationProvider and GpsXtraDownloader. Some of these properties are used in the framework code; some are used in the gps driver implementations.

For the NTP, SUPL, C2K properties look at lines 412 to 441 below:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base/blob/gingerbread/services/java/com/android/server/location/GpsLocationProvider.java

It only uses a single instance of these properties (no need for doubling up).

For the XTRA properties look at lines 59-61 below:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base/blob/gingerbread/services/java/com/android/server/location/GpsXtraDownloader.java

It only uses the first three entries.

For the evo gps driver the following properties are used:

gps_conf.INTERMEDIATE_POS

gps_conf.ACCURACY_THRES

gps_conf.ENABLE_WIPER

gps_conf.DEBUG_LEVEL

MD5 provides a checksum for an arbitary file. It's just a string of characters like a long PIN code.

You can use it to guarantee that the file that's been downloaded is identical to the original, i.e. not corrupted on the way. So for any file that has an associated MD5 sum. You download the file and run a MD5 utility on that file on your system and check the MD5 value output against the original one.
