At first I followed all the steps, from updating the build.prop and pushing the files in the other thread, and it too did completely break my GPS.

Then, on the latest Nightly, I tried updating the build.prop again, leaving "ro.telephony.default_network=0" commented out, and didn't push the additional files in the other thread, and now I'm getting locks within 30 seconds. I'm going to give this some time to see if it continues to work well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
I only pushed the two files i dloaded from the link in op, its a gps.conf and a suplrootcert, fixed permissions to match original ones and i was amazed at the results, did nothing to build.prop. This is for tmo only i belive.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Holy crap, that worked perfectly! Ten second locks, and I've tried EVERYTHING before this!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Disregard this
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
I know man, still can't believe how good my gps is now, have been testing it often and it never fails locks within seconds!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] serglex:
It seemed to fix at first, but if I drive around it still can't lock even though it sees 10 satellites. It locks fast if I there is a wifi hotspot nearby. Try going somewhere where there is no wifi see if it still locks fast.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
I only use wifi in my house, once i leave wifi is off and i still get instant locks. I have tried when i leave work and jogging in the morning.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
Fix is working perfectly for me. Running CM7 nightly build 173 on T-Mobile. GPS lock in under five seconds with a clear sky in a field.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] serglex:
Even if wifi is off it still for some reason locks faster if wifi hot spot is nearby. Also it takes forever to lock if I am driving on a freeway. I am in utah so it may be different here
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
Yeah i would assume if you on a freeway it will take a bit longer, it is still the best my gps has been on cm7 fits kang, im going to try miui and the fix to see if it helps, miui had bad gps for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ballantine22:
I updated build.prop and attempted to flash the (correct) zip in the linked thread but that failed for some reasons that made my eyes glaze over. Decided to try out the results anyway: getting locks in < 5 seconds whereas before I got a Location Unavailable every time I tried with Wifi off. As soon as I get my 10 posts you'll be gettin some thanks from me! Cheers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
Great find, thanks a lot!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gpmartinson:
at the risk of being considered foolish

I can't seem to mount my phone (weapon 2.8) read-write only with adb. Any pointers?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
I just used root explorer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dustinscottmiller:
You can also mount the system as writable with ES File Explorer.

So after doing this and using it a few days, I still have occasions where it takes awhile to lock if the phone has been on for several hours, but I can always get an instant lock immediately following a reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thanasisc4:
Wow I copied the two files and changed the permissions and instant locks everytime. Finally!! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EfficiencyGeek:
using adb to make /system writeable, try adb remount.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I got accuracy up to 6m with this fix on CM7!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
I have a question about what people refer to a "Lock" because I have never really had an issue with my GPS figuring out where I am but I have never been able to actually use the phone for navigation, even if it has my correct location when trying to use navigation it can never get a "Lock". Before a G2x I had a G1 and then a MyTouch Slide and neither ever had a problem with navigation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
What they mean by "locks" is the ability, efficiency, and speed in which a satellite "locks-on" to the phones location. Everyone typically agrees that the faster the satellite can accurately determine the phones position (Identified by the GPS icon no longer flashing), the better its working.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] serglex:
Same with my phone. It locks fast after a reboot, but a few hours later it will take 2 minutes or will never lock even though it sees 10 satellites.

Is there anything we can modify so it locks fast without a reboot? Run some kind of script or anything like that right before the GPS turns on, so it thinks it has been rebooted before it is trying to lock (if that makes sense)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/gps-status-toolbox/com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2

That's kinda what the GPS Status app does. The regular download of A-GPS data on your location will definitely help with speeding up GPS locks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wikes82:
This works great. I got GPS lock within seconds.

I forgot to check the file permissions, and it didn't work.

So, make sure to set the permission to rw-r--r--
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dhollis72:
I did my phone and if I leave GPS off for awhile it takes about two minutes to lock or acquire my location but it's better than the ten minutes it was taking.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] torvick12:
I did everything already and still same thing :/ its even taking longes to lock on the gps. Any one? i didnt do the adb pushes by comman i did it by Root explorer would that might me the issue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
Fixed permissions for all?

I forgot to stress that this "fix" is really more of a bandaid. I was told by one of the developers that the reason our AOSP GPS sucks is because we don't have the proper drivers.

It's a damn shame when my gf's nearly 2 year old Nexus locks GPS within 10 seconds, cold start, no matter which ROM she is on, yet our relatively new phone can't do the same. I used to rub in the fact that my phone had dual cpus, but now she rubs in the fact that her phone actually works :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] torvick12:
for all as in what folder? n im pretty much sure i did do it but just to be sure which ones again?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
You copied 2 files, just fix permissions for the gps.conf file you copied to system/etc, they should be first column all checked, second column only first.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
This is probably a silly question because I know next to nothing about build.prop, but could someone make a flashable zip that makes all the changes including adding the two files needed?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mastermindg:
GPS does lock a little quicker but it's not worth making manual changes on top of my dailies. Somebody needs to create a flashable zip that works as the current one errors out in CWM 5.0.2.0.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lilaliend:
Did all this and got the quickest lock I've ever had with this phone, and I got it on Day 1. I did do one thing different though.

I'm using EaglesBlood 2.3.3GB and checked the Build.prop before simply adding code. I found that everything was there except for the last two lines:

ro.ril.def.agps.feature=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=10

So I only added those two lines and then commented out:

ro.telephony.default_network=0

GPS used to take 1-4 minutes, now it locked in about 20 seconds. THANKS!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] torvick12:
And the 3rd roll? I have a check on the first and the last, is that OK or need to take them out?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
Just first column all checked, and second column just first checked all other blank, reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] serglex:
I guess my point was to run something like that in background right when I start google maps or other navigation app
[T-Mobile LG G2x] torvick12:
Are they both good in permission or is it wrong?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
The only one i changed was gps.conf, it is read all the way down checked, write first on top checked thats it only 4 checks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
[x][x][ ]

[x][ ][ ]

[x][ ][ ]

It needs to look like this. I just set the permissions of the build.prop, gps.conf, and suplhostcert to this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jjayno2003:
yea this wrk for me also w/o doin all the extra other stuff!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] serglex:
Is it possible to get those drivers from LG?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] torvick12:
I thought this way was only for the build.prop? and 3 checks for the first roll and 1 check for the 2nd roll and 3rd roll nothing is for the gps.conf, and suplhostcert? But let me try it this way in all see whats up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
I love you OP, thanks a lot for this.

My G2x with CM7 would not lock for the life of me. Even if it was 2 damn miles away I would wait for minutes with no lock.

After this, locked within <10 seconds.

:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EfficiencyGeek:
This thread on the G2x OEM back cover mentions how it helps with GPS locks. I tried it and it has improved my locks -- using Google Navigation.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] gman87:
Have found a pretty useful app that has my GPS accuracy with in 2 meters, also locks rather quickly. Its called Turbo GPS. Pretty useful. Alot simpler then fixing the GPS manually. Not thread stealing or anything of the sort just spreading the word :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
You want to use apps, cool, but this simple 2 file copy/paste has made my gps magnificent, to the point that i can fire it up within missing a turn on a street and locks up accurate within seconds, im glad for this fix and thank the person who made it come true..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
F:\RomWOrk>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted

Have been searching for hours, can't get around this. I've tried running "su" from an adb shell with SU app open on phone (approved root access for the SU command), etc .... full root on phone, all root apps work. Just *IMPOSSIBLE* to get remount to work and thus adb push will not work..... *sigh*

EDIT: Finally did push from Recovery.... I've never had a phone refuse to remount before this G2x....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dokjon:
NOOB question!

How do you change permission? what permission? I pushed the files using adb, but no significant change has been made to GPS on my phone. i'm guessing it's because i didnt "change permission." What is permission and how do I change it?

And also when I tried editing build.prop using ES explorer, it wouldn't let me save the file because the file's read-only.

Thanks for your advice!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
I used rootexplorer and just copied the two files in the zip, gps.conf and suplrootcert to system/etc. After you copy them you long press and set permissions. Dont change nothing in build.prop

Make sure mount r/o is on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jazrulz:
works like a charm! instant gps lock! thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] serglex:
Since CM7 build 198 everything works fine without any hacks. I get locks within 3 seconds, even after a reboot. I saw they added SuplRootCert by default and probably something else, but anyways I finally have a working GPS :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fsustrength:
Fixed it for me!!

Hey guys, thanks for the tips. I actually just entered the text into the gps.conf file manually, except for the SUPL_TLS_CERT...I didn't want to get too complicated so I just gave it a shot. It worked! I've been without GPS for a couple months now and it fixed it instantly. Thanks to all and hope everyone has a happy turkey day!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] coreycollins3066:
Thanks for the fix, worked for me!

All I did was download the files to the G2x. Used ES File Explorer to copy files over to the correct /system/etc directory. (don't forget to mount and give super user permissions in ES File Explorer settings) Turned on the GPS and Google Maps, got lock within about 8 seconds. 3 meter accuracy!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seanabach:
What files did You put on your g2x specifically?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gman87:
Replace the GPS.conf in your system/etc folder with the one from the one you dl'd and fix permissions then do the same with supple cert and you should be good to go
[T-Mobile LG G2x] biscuitownz:
Would someone be kind enough to make a flashable version of this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] coreycollins3066:
Use the two files located in the original post's web link. Put those files in the system/etc dir.

http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-gps-quickest-fix-solution.2022/

This worked for me better than any other fix that I've found so far. Others have worked, but still took up to a minute to get a lock. For me, this truly is an instant lock!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
This is awesome. Worked for me on weapon and now works for me on cm7.2. I love being able to use the navagation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pbarschall:
This procedure didn't work for me

This fix didn't work for me with Tmobile and the G2X based in California (running CM7). I think the SUPL_HOST=10.176.29.225 is wrong. I did the simple thing: "ping 10.176.29.225" and I get no response. Both supl.google.com and lbs.geo.t-mobile.com respond fine to "pings". I found better files (search for Ascension ICS gps.conf t-mobile) that worked better for me. Specifically, in gps.conf I set SUPL_HOST=lbs.geo.t-mobile.com and I copied the SuplRootCert from the "Ascension" site I just mentioned. Clearly the SuplRootCert file must match your Supl Host selection and your provider. I'm starting to see better performance (ledge fixes, fixing nicely in 1 minute instead of 10 minutes or an hour). Another helpful tip is to clear out previous run data in Google maps using settings/applications/Manage applications/maps/Clear cache and Clear data.

By the way, GPS fixes almost never show an error of 50m or 200m. GPS fixes with > 8 satellites will have an error around 10-20m. If the position has that larger error, I bet your phone is using cell phone towers to triangulate your position, and the GPS hasn't even fixed yet. If there are only 4 or 5 satellites in the GPS fix, then you position error might jump that high, but I've never gotten a fix on the G2X with less than 9 satellites.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypocrat37:
Thank you

I know no one has posted on this for a while but just wanted to say thanks for this! Applied to my g2x and get GPS fix in 5 sec while standing outside, this is even on the old v21e baseband. Thanks again!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] penninajx:
Which fix did you apply?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypocrat37:
Both the one in this thread and the one in the thread he refers to in the first post - figured it couldnt hurt and I could always undo it...so I applied both and it is working great now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hairycheapo:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the gps.conf file will only reflect the most recent changes you make to it. If you flash two different updates, the code from the first would be replaced as soon as you flash a second. That's assuming that you haven't manually merged the two by cherry picking certain time servers, AGPS servers, etc from each file. Is there something I am missing?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jordonwii:
I believe the information in this thread is exclusively for build.prop, and the other thread has changes for gps.conf.

They are making such claims because everything is marketing and profit. If you want gingerbread you'll have to buy another, more expensive, device.

[Galaxy 3 General] Mohit12:
you realise that the SG3 has been discontinued, right? when a phone is discontinued, there is no way that the maker will provide further updates for the phone. so give up the hope that we'll actually get Gingerbread for our phone.

Hello all. My phone has been having a weird issue, every time that I have my phone plugged in to charge the screen starts clicking on random stuff. For example, if I am browsing a website and my phone is connected to the wall charger it'll start to zoom in and out of the page that I've viewing without me touching the screen. It also starts clicking on random links on the page that i am viewing. Once I disconnect the charger off my phone everything goes back to normal. I was wondering if anybody has the same problem. Should I take the phone to sprint?
