I've been testing some GPS fixes from around the forum. Some of them have helped, some have not. This gps.config file has helped me quite a bit. I live outside EL Paso and on stock EG30 could not ever get a lock. I tried several fixes until I put my head right and realized my EVO4G could get an awesome lock. So, I incorporated some of the data there into my E4GT and got great results. My setup is currently EL26 kernel/modem with EL13 uNnamed rom.

MUST BE ROOTED

To try this file unzip in home folder and:

Use Root Explorer (or whatever file manager you prefer) and navigate to system/etc. Mount as R/W and rename you current gps.conf to gps.conf.old.

If you use adb just push the new file from whatever directory it's in to system/etc. (should be ~/***, so the following command should work on Ubuntu. Sorry, no windows instructions because I don't use Windows)

adb push gps.conf system/etc

adb reboot

Alternate Installation:

Unzip file to your SD card. Rename gps.conf as before. Navigate to the SD card and copy the file to system/etc. Reboot.

Use GPS Test from the market to get an indication of any change. Leave feedback for me. I was able to go from one satellite in view to 8-9 while using most of them.

I did not write any of the script, just collected it from other places and got it to work for me. If you see any of your work here and want credit, let me know and I'll edit the OP. I know there's somebody but I don't remember who.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fin745:
That worked amazingly 9 in view, 9 in use. Before I could only get 1 or 2 indoors.

Thanks.:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interloper:
We're still testing. Seems like the sleep state kills the GPS. There might be another update so stay tuned. Let me know if you can join us on irc.freenode/#gtab for some testing. Thanks for trying my junk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Installed will give full feedback after 24hr of use & yes sleeps a gps killer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Sleep does in fact kill GPS. I have to reboot in order to get it to work again...not all the time though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tshile:
Just uploaded. I did so on windows using android commander btw. (if you care :) )

On stock i was viewing 1. To be honest thats the first time I ran a test on it, but I had noticed general GPS issues in the past.

I'm now showing 8 in view. I'll keep track of it over the week and post if anything changes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Itchiee:
I'll give it a shot since mine suffers from GPS issues after time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
not much improvement on my end.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ayman86:
i do connect faster when im outside. but no go while indoors. ill replace my phone before my trip at the end of jan
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interloper:
thanks for the replies. Please include modem/kernel/rom info if possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puch0021:
GPS is working great after script. I also installed the s GPS driver about a week ago from different phone and it seemed to make the most difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
i retract my previous post. it takes a couple minutes to get a lock (8/9) indoors, but at least it gets a lock indoors. this **** is ridiculous. same thing happened when i had the samsung moment and intercept, and my friend's galaxy nexus. seems to only be a problem with samsung cdma phones.

caulk's 2.7 rom and kernel, el26

what is this "s GPS driver"? :X
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interloper:
+1 I am looking into the driver on my Galaxy Tab. It locks wicked fast all the time, but I don't know of the hardware is different. If you have a driver I can test, I would be very grateful. Send me a link to your source, or link the file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tshile:
Sorry forgot to post ROM.

Caulkins ROM and kernel, el26 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Itchiee:
I'm using stock rooted EL26 ROM....

This thing hardly ever locks indoors where as my Galaxy Tab 10.1 does with no problems.

These radios just don't transmit as good apparently.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Never had a problem with GPS on this phone. Download GPS Test from the market and then clear and re-download agps within the app. After that you will be golden.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interloper:
After updating to EL26 I am having fewer problems than with other versions. I checked the drivers mentioned here, even the fix mentioned by puch21, and they are indeed different. The driver files from EL26 are more thorough, there are a couple more files in the directory. The fix from puch21 is a driver from another Samsung device, but I don't know which one. Anyway, If anyone wants to stay with an older ROM I can provide downloads for the drivers, but I can't make flashable zips today. Maybe tomorrow. I use adb for almost everything, but I know not everyone does. I'll work on them as time permits. If I do make zips they will contain the best reported drivers, libs and gps.conf files. I suppose I will provide a stock setup in case anyone wants to revert.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puch0021:
This was the driver I was referring to.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321049

I've tried the supersonic driver, it didn't lock as well as the above driver.

Sorry for the late update!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interloper:
Thanks for getting back. There are more than a few threads about GPS fix. With so many people working on it it will get fixed. I'm pretty impressed with the EL26 all stock setup right now. Seems to have been the best for me, but still there are conflicting reports. I have not been able to try EL29 yet...cheers!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H0wdy:
Hello,

My front/back camera work fine on evo 4g with the camera application, but with skype, i get a black screen on video calls for incoming and outgoing video. They cannot see me either. I get a black screen and black sub box(where I should be able to see myself). I have skype 2.6.0.95.

Also, I am using cyanogenmod 7.1.

One other thing... when the screen goes black while on a call, the call starts getting choppy. Can this be avoided? I'd prefer to leave screen off when talking on a regular voice call with skype.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusva79:
Just try using Google+ it works great. Just as good as skype
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H0wdy:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I need to use skype. I do not understand why video is supported now but this is what I am getting for incoming and outgoing video. Is it because of cyanogenmod?

thanks,
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KommodoreHeinz:
Here is the version that I use, it is 2.0.0.47. It is from when the evo was not officially supported by Skype, but has been edited. Both cameras work, and I have been using this on the CM Nightly's for several months now.

All credit goes to the original person.. I will try to find the post when I'm back on the computer.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO POST THIS, SO IF THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE, FEEL FREE TO REMOVE OR MOVE.

If this has already been posted, please kindly disregard post. I didn't find it any other place, so..!

The way I got it to work on mine is I used SQLLite Editor. You must be rooted obviously.

Go to SQLLite and scroll until you find "Settings Storage" (com.android.providers.settings)

Tap it, then tap settings.db

Then tap system

Tap htc_3d_home_screen, then hit your menu button and select "Edit Record"

Change value from "0" to "1"

Reboot phone

Once phone reboots, look at screen, now move phone side by side and you'll see the so called 3D effect you see on the Evo3D.

Not much, but thought some of you might be interested or curious as to how it would look on the Vivid.

You can always switch that off by doing the same thing, then switching the 1 for a "0", then reboot.

I didn't notice battery change either way, your choice

Happy New Year

I guess I'll throw in that famous disclaimer: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE BY MAKING THESE MODIFICATIONS, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO MESS WITH THE DB FILES, READ UPON AND LEARN BEFORE YOU CHANGE ANYTHING. SOME CHANGES CAN AND WILL RENDER YOUR DEVICE USELESS..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
Awesome. Thanks for sharing this. I'll have to give it a try.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
That's really cool, nice find!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Tried it out!

Looks pretty good! Thanks for sharing!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Does it decrease performance at all (more lag, etc)?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ebaul:
I don't notice any tho, which is funny considering that it's supposed to use processor resources to make the effect. I've had it on since 10am this morning and didn't notice any lag

BTW, do you know why I have to set my timezone each time I reboot my phone? It is annoying !!

Running beta 10, but is been doing it on any of the roms out there. Thought it was a kernel issue, but not sure. It is set to automatic for time and timezone
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Do a search in PG's ROM thread. I'll look around for you too. But I remember them talking about that bug...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ebaul:
Thanks! I will continue searching.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
Yeah and I don't think there was a solution for it yet. Yes, it is annoying.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
i am looking at it. problem is i need to actually use the rom long enough to notice it!... lol. is it completely random or just after it loses network connectivity and comes back?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
My thought is it happens after losing network and getting it back. Hard to tell though. It was always in my status bar when I unlock. But going into Date/Time settings still shows right time zone and time.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ebaul:
Yes, each time I disable network and re-enable, it prompts for the timezone, or when I reboot
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
This is still really intriguing me lol. Does the 3D effect only happen on the homescreen? Otherwise I feel it might make my eyes bleed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Yes.

Does anybody know how to turn off 3d effect on sense 3.6 (ics)?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
For anyone who doesnt know, the timezone error happens on the stock Telstra Velocity rom, so any rom's based on that will have the timezone error :D

have you tried editing the same db from this thread and changing the 1 to a 0?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] a dead man:
cant modify 3d-home record, DB is locked, worked fine before I installed ICS - any hints?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jmone:
I too get a DB is locked error when trying to change the value from 0 to 1
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] a dead man:
Fixed

Fixed

-copy /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/dtabases/settings.db to sdcard

-open it (the copied db file on the sdcard) with an sqlite editor and modify relevant record - save

-copy file back to where it came from (overwrite existing)

-reboot into recovery, fix permisssions - DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!

-or you can modify perms in a terminal, if you know what they are

enjoy!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
FCC approval will never come due GPS conflict Its a con game sprints been playing on their customers for some time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lballer69:
Hmmmm thanks for the input , time to research.

Edit interesting article

http://www.insidegnss.com/node/2839
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flight01:
The thing is everyone points a finger at light squared but its not their fault. The real problem is that gps is intruding on lightsquareds spectrum and not the other way around. The fcc and the gps makers want lightsquared to foot the bill for a problem they both have created. Its not fair and the fcc needs to step up take ownership and say sorry we fell asleep at the wheel and make the gps makers foot the bill and give them a timeline of when it needs to be done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The real story is Falcone bought some property cheap that he thought he could build on, then when he went to build, found there were long-time squatters. He kind of knew about them when he bought the property but thought he could kick them off the land since they weren't supposed to be there, but the squatters were more organized than he thought. Also the other property owners around there like charging higher rents and Falcone was planning on charging lower rents, so those property owners got on the side of the squatters.

This is not taking sides who is right or wrong, just explaining the situation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
I agree 100% lightSquared not at fault but this outcome was expected.

Sprint played it down no big deal throwing LTE 2012 promises.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Either way Sprint will be bringing LTE to customers.

Losing LightSquared will just slow it down.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Losing LightSquared affects how much LTE capacity Sprint will have available.

It won't affect Sprint's LTE deployment schedule because Sprint was the one providing the towers for LightSquared, not the other way around.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Sounds great what spectrum will their LTE be running on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Sprint has spectrum in 800 from Nextel and their own 1900 spectrum and finally whatever they can get Clear to convert on 2500.

800 doesn't really have enough for high-bandwidth apps, but they probably would use it to shift things around to make more room at 1900.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
I was going to answer you...but... ^ :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
The answer to be expected but the problem is $$$$...the lack of it in Sprints pocket.

I guess we all can keep LTE dreaming with the final product even delayed more lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
What exactly is "matured" stock? Sprint's stock has been decreasing since the Nextel merger.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
There are very few stocks that haven't declined since that merger. ;)

Way to go economy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
All D's fancy wurdz ... is we gettings 4ggzz lte eees soown?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
lte

sprint was initially rolling it out on 1900 and moving it to 850 when they shut down nextel ..... but the first was 1900 .....they wont touch the 2500 **** ..... if you put lte on it ... it will be just as bad as wimax sprint wont do that they will try to keep the blame on wimax not the frequency
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Sprint is down 90% since the merger completed.

S&P 500 is virtually unchanged with runs up 20+% in between.

IMO there is a big difference between the performance of stocks "in general" and Sprint
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
There's nothing wrong with a tiered approach, using 2500 to offload data traffic for outdoor users and reserving your more appropriate lower frequencies for indoor use.

Clearwire issue is 2500 was the *only* spectrum they were using.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
:rolleyes:

It wasn't meant to be taken absolutely literal.

Even Microsoft has only recently climbed back up to close to "unchanged" for the past 8 years.

That really shows how the past 8 years have been.

Anyway this is really neither here nor there.

Not relevant to the thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
Man forget lte sprint should just use evdo advance and wimax wave 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jayavarman:
Eh? Sprint is currently carrying $16 billion of long-term debt while the company is only worth $7 billion on the market.

As for the iPhone, Sprint loses money on each handset sold due to the record $600 subsidy each they are paying to Apple. The iPhone will not make money for Sprint until after 2014.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Whatever happened to Wimax 2? Ever since LTE came out they never even bothered to make plans on a possible upgrade lol.. Wasn't Asia getting like 330mbps on Wimax 2? I'm greedy I want both LTE/Wimax chips on future phones. If all the outages Verizon is having with LTE is a sign what we might go thru at least we'll have that Wimax backup lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Hmm, except that falcone bought the spectrum almost 10 years ago, at the APPROVAL and ENDORSEMENT of the GPS manufacturers, and they're just now getting around to "unsquatting".

They've had plenty of time, but they sat on their hands. In a capitalistic society, that's more than enough reason for the FCC to say "screw you" and let lightsquared flip on the switch. Especially considering the fact that two of the GPS manufacturers have successfully built models that don't look into lightsquared's spectrum, and in testing are not affected by lightsquared's LTE.

But again remembering that this is also a pseudo-capitalistic government, there's money in the hands of the FCC (please see: military contractors) that will buy the other GPS manufacturers some time.

Its a shame really. If you're going to act like a big tough government agency, one would hope that they would at least be consistent about it.

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone.

I'm fairly new to posting, as I have been sitting back and searching and reading to get all my info.

My name is Dan and I have a HTC Incredible with recently flashed MIUI 1.12.9 and 2.6.38.8-incredikernel-12/08/2011. I have used McTwist and Nils Business GingerSense ROMs in the past. I find MIUI to run great on my phone and its custom UIs are great. I run LauncherPro to give me back my app drawer instead of having all my apps on multiple screens.

Thanks to all the developers and everyone who made rooting possible. Keep up the great work.
