[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezy69:
my wifes phones bluetooth always worked fine until i put the new CM7 on it, it never worked on cm7, so I put MIUI on it and its still not working, I downloaded the app "bluetooth file transfer" from the market and this error is coming up...

"You cant connect with target device because it lacks of the "Object Push Profile" (OBEX OPP) Bluetooth service."

what is this OBEX OPP and how can I get it back so bluetooth will work?
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Currently: this is a tentative supporting thread for my aGPS patch. Assuming more report success, I will start officially supporting this device.

Please let me know your success rates. Thus far, a few people have sent me messages and emails stating that this patch works great on this device.

As such, I'm thinking it would be good to provide this officially for this device.

This has been used on over 40 devices successfully. I don't offer official support for all devices. Rather, I offer official support once users convince me to do so for that particular device. That happened here. ;)

Statistically, here is part of my post from mid-December on all official threads:

Enjoy!

I flashed 3.1 Google specific over Miui 2.1.6

i'm from italy, it seems to be working! Tomorrow i'll try it driving to school..thanks :) will post again:)
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Good deal. Feel free to tell anyone you know with such issues to check out the thread.
[HTC Desire S] Sim0cYz:
EPIC! Only 4 letters. It gets the signal and my position in a couple of seconds! Thanks crypted, many many many thanks!! You deserve more than my comments :)
[HTC Desire S] peters.:
I'm also getting gps fix in a few seconds on desire s, which didn't happen till now even with tweaked gps.conf... But one strange thing, gps status or locus can't see gps satellites, but they get gps fix...
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Could be just a reading error between the legitimate reading and what's being shown by the app.

Are you getting an accurate location, say in Google Maps or other apps?

If not, try an Alternate build.
[HTC Desire S] lamzor:
i had problem with very slow GPS fix on my ROM(older custom - virtuous ROM). im going to install MIUI ROM tomorrow and test it with and without this fix.

is there any user experience with MIUI ROMs?
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
All that I can recall with MUIU has been user reports that it's amazing on that ROM. Those were Inspire4G/DesireHD users though.
[HTC Desire S] markatmgpc:
Working great with Reaper, always had to get a fix with gpsfix and be half way down the street before Runkeeper was ready, now it picks up as soon as I go out of the door.
[HTC Desire S] peters.:
Tested further and I'm getting wrong data. GPS fix in 2sec, but position somewhere in ocean near Africa instead of Europe. And it doesn't find right coordinates even after some time. I'll test another build as you suggested.
[HTC Desire S] Lodberg:
Installed 10 min ago. Seems to be working great, running Virtuous Quattro Beta 8.

Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
I'm also using Virtuous Quattro (from this morning) and can report that it worked great for me - tested before flashing and had 1 satellite and no lock after 3 minutes (after using fasterfix for uk.ntp), after flashing the standard Google specific build I had 6 satellites showing in GPS Status and a lock within 20 seconds.

If I have time later I will test it with the CM9 build.

Thanks!!!!

Endymion 3.3 rom, not working...
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Can you be more specific? What is it doing and not doing? What are your surroundings like?

Did you review the notes section?

If you're using a case, remove and try again.
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
is this the flashable one ? Download the Google Specific CWM Flashable
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
All are flashable via CWR (the Recovery flashing method) assuming your Recovery software is Clockwork Recovery or EXT4 Recovery.

If you want to flash it via Clockwork Mod, an App, you use the CWM verisons.
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
I think the guy is running the Endy ROM not cm7 as it says in his sig. I will try and test Endy 3.3 tomorrow maybe.

In the mean time I have to say this patch made a massive difference to me, I thought desire s GPS problems were hardware related but now my GPS works perfectly, it is fantastic, hopefully not just placebo due to clear cold weather here.
[HTC Desire S] Forwox:
It took 68 seconds to connect to satellites and show location. Accuracy +-100 to 200 meters. Only one 5floor living house, other houses around much smaller.
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Are you using a case? Do you have an internet connection to the phone?
[HTC Desire S] Forwox:
No, I am not using a case, only as it is. Yes, I have configured internet connection on my phone, but I use it rarely, so it's switched of all the time. Do you think that could be a problem, some kind of an ineterference?
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
aGPS requires data connections for the use of internet server assistance. Further, it needs to download local assistance almanac files at least once a day. Wifi and/or data is necessary.
[HTC Desire S] mouzzza:
MIUI and Cyanogenmod are nice Roms. I like them much!!

But you'll have to know that MIUI v4 and CM9 are on Alphastate at the moment, and this will not change till devs get the HTC-kernel for our device! This will last till HTC is updating the DesireS to ICS!

MIUI v2.3.23 and CM7 based on Gingerbread are stable, there you won't have much trouble at all!
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Thread kind of updated to include a new device:

Asus Transformer Prime

This patch can be useful on devices that need the GPS XML file which is prevalent in non-Qualcomm chipsets. So, it can be used in other devices as well.

The new release has no effect on other supported devices unless it is a non-Qualcomm phone.
[HTC Desire S] miwanr:
I try both version 2.2 and 3.1 on my Desire S but no effect, still hard to get satellite and fix (with GPS Status only get 1/1 fix/sats).

---------- Post added at 03:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 AM ----------

When i use custom ROM Virtuous Quattro RC3 on my Desire S GPS work fine. It can get 7/7 Fix/Sats with GPS Status. Anyone know how to get it work on stock HTC Gingerbread? I mean can I get some file in Virtuous Quattro RC3 to be patch to stock ROM?
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Explain further. You tried to use this on WHAT ROM's exactly? Read the Notes Section and then the HOW TO POST section above it. Give us good information.

Sounds almost like you have GPS fixing apps installed like Faster Fix or something.
[HTC Desire S] miwanr:
I installed agps.patch.google.build.nossl.v3.1.zip by Recovery on Desire S Android 2.3.5 Kernel 2.6.35.10-ga76c374.

I was once installed GPS Fix but it's uninstalled before using this patch.
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Have you tried any of the Notes? If so, which ones?
[HTC Desire S] miwanr:
Number 9 in series

1. agps.patch.google.build.v3.1.zip

2. agps.adb.all.builds.v3.1.and.v1.3.zip ---> error, can not install

3. agps.patch.google.build.nossl.v2.2.zip

4. agps.patch.google.build.nossl.v3.1.zip

Number 15.
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Not the question whatsoever.
[HTC Desire S] ThunderRootedDragon:
I can confirm this works on liquid 3.2...I used the recommended google 3.1 build with SSL...lock within a minute or so...

THANKS!!!
[HTC Desire S] paul4762:
I am able to get a lock fast, but after a min or two it looses the lock and I have to exit out. Is there a fix for this "hang up" or can someone point me towards the right direction.

IceColdSandwich 7.4 (even had the problem on CM7 just never looked into it).

Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Try GPS Status. Set the app to not allow your screen to lock. Watch it for a few minutes and see if you actually lose signal.
[HTC Desire S] paul4762:
With GPS status is locks and stays locked. I tried re-installing google maps and clearing all the cache/data but still has the same issue.
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Lib issue so try another rom?
[HTC Desire S] Bewinxed:
Working At Last!

I had a problem with this at first on ALL ICS ROMs, i had the GPS lock within 2 seconds and it's the wrong position. anyways!

What i did was:

1 - Flash the NO-SSL Version (agps.patch.google.build.nossl.v3.1.zip) Through EXT4 Recovery.

2 - Clear Cache/Dalvik Cache

3 - Turn off phone, pull battery, leave for 3 minutes.

4 - Turn on phone, Run.

Now GPS is 5 seconds away, amazing!

Thank you! ^w^
[HTC Desire S] paul4762:
I've tried CM7, Icecoldsandwich, MIUI and none of those seem to work. They all lose GPS after about 1 min then I have to exit and go back into "navigator" to let it lock on again. Any other thoughts?
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Uninstall every app. Or do a fresh wipe with NO apps. Flash this patch. Install only GPS Status. Make sure it's a good solid & stable lock. Try GMaps for a bit.

Also if the screen times out (goes black) your GPS will probably shut off. So consider that with your issue if you haven't yet.
[HTC Desire S] paul4762:
I tried this as well with no luck. I left it on GPS status all night and it was fine. I went into navigator and lost the connection. The screen stays on.

Seems this problem is reported here

[HTC Desire S] rain987:
Worked like a magic. What kind of sorcery is this! :)

Using cm7 from msia. It usually takes a very long time or never(mostly never) for my gps to lock, but now it takes less that 10 secs. tried with google maps and sygic.

I actually deleted all those navi apps because it seems redundant to keep it as my gps wouldnt work.

Thanks a lot for this awesome topic.
[HTC Desire S] 8814:
I must admit I was skeptic but it's just magic with MIUI rom.

Thanks a lot for your job.
[HTC Desire S] Indha Lezzio:
Man.

I installed your gps.conf 3.1 in my Galaxy R and finally the GPS works perfect!!! Both in stock rom! and custom roms!!!

Thanks, thanks, and thanks

[HTC Desire S] helbet:
Hi there!

This ROM works very well on my Desire S.. I have only one problem (in the last few days): the four touch buttons ”are pressing themselves” from time to time.. Then the RECENT APPS appears and I have to press the power button to turn the screen off, then back on.. and after that I can use the phone again...

Any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
This is not a ROM thread so I guess you meant to post this elsewhere.
[HTC Desire S] helbet:
I will try another ROM to see if the problems will be solved..
[HTC Desire S] golfakis:
amazing tested it on desire s with blindice v.10 works perfect!!! first time i get so fast lock on my desire s!!!! also works with PARANOIDANDROID v.1.1.3

[HTC Desire S] anazhd:
Somehow, after flashing, gps is not working at all. Weird.
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Read the Notes Section. Above the Notes it says how to post for help.

Also, you can try:

Boot into Recovery, clear Cache, clear Dalvik Cache, reboot. Try again.

If that fails, go to Settings -> Locations. Disable all options. Reboot. Go back and only enable GPS. Reboot. Try again.
[HTC Desire S] anazhd:
I spend my times to find what might be the problems. For some reason, its not working because others mod flash affecting this agps patch. But i dont know which one.

For now it's working back. Btw thanks for replying to me like im a newb.
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Glad it's working fine.

I responded to you like I respond to most people anymore because it's very repetitive. I can't proffer support very effectively without all the info! ;)
[HTC Desire S] Fredericosilva:
This patch needs Internet Connection to work? Or is effective even in offline mode?
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Most effective with a data connection... It can function offline so long as you use an app like GPS Patch, discussed in the first post, to download AGPS data at least every 23 hours - recommend every 6 hours.
[HTC Desire S] valantis544:
Same here, after the patch, gps is not working at all.

Tried all the above nothing works.

Using HTC official ROM

Kernel 2.6.35.10

Using iGo and GPS Status

Living in Greece

Gps worked before only taking 5 to 10 minutes to lock

Its not working with any apps now, the gps icon on top is not appearing when a gps program is running.
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
And you do not have any gps assistance apps installed such as faster fix?

And you tried another rom known to work in this thread to verify that it is this patch? Without adding apps?
[HTC Desire S] leimrey:
is it just me? or my DS wifi just stops working after i patch agps :/
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Totally impossible.
[HTC Desire S] valantis544:
I only had gpsfix which i unistalled before installing this patch.

No didnt try other rom as i just rooted the phone just to add this patch and i really dont want to change rom right now. No time for backup and all that stuff.

i should have made a copy of the original gpsconf. :(

Any ideas??
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
You can easily test another ROM without starting over just for the sake of testing and without much time commitment. You just have to do a Nandroid backup in Recovery, then go through flashing another ROM, test the GPS junk, and call it a day.
[HTC Desire S] valantis544:
I found a gps.conf and restored it and for now i m back to the crapy gps. I will post if i have news. Thanks for the help.
[HTC Desire S] leimrey:
It's ok now, i just restart my ds and its working flawlessly :D

Thanks dude!
[HTC Desire S] FlexiPack:
I've downloaded 3.1 no-ssl from the recommended links (i.e Download the Google Specific v3.1 build here).

What is the folder called META-INF for? (containing files update-binary & updater-script) I can't see any instructions relating to it but I wanted to double check before I proceed. I will be patching a Desire S using method 2.

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
If you're just copy/pasting data, just do the data in the /system/ path of the ZIP. That directory relates to flashing.
[HTC Desire S] palcuiealex:
Tested the Google Specific 3.1 no-ssl, installed using the flash method on the latest BlindIce v12 AOKP ICS ROM and it works flawless. I got the satellites in 5 seconds.

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] nicoboum:
Tested with lastest version without SSL, using the script.

This is really impressive, it managed to find me in a few seconds, and I am currently indoors.

Thank you very much.
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
I'm glad to have helped and appreciate the feedback.

Flashed 3.1 over recovery (4ext). Get a gps lock in 2s...very nice! CM10
[HTC Desire S] nika39:
its not working anymore,last week it was working great but now it cant find anything i reflashed but still same
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
This is not an app, it's a patch. Therefore it won't magically stop unless something else intervenes in the process.

What gps or tracking apps are you using? No faster fix right?

How about going back through all new installs and updates since that point to determine the root cause...? Have you done that?

Sent from my Desire HD
[HTC Desire S] nika39:
Using gps status.Yeah i installed new apps but they dont relation about that.I just change cpu frequency maybe about that.Am i right?

edit:nope, not about cpu,i will try reflash rom
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Today, AGPS Patch has reached a total number of 28 officially supported devices.

Support was added for the Asus Transformer TF101, Samsung's Galaxy Nexus, Samsung's Galaxy S I9000, and HTC's One X.

I predicted that companies would get wiser and start providing properly built stock ROM's for GPS usage. That was incorrect. I'm willing to research and work with people to bring more devices into the fold.

There have been millions of downloads of my personal xtra.bin data and tens of millions of queries submitted through the DNS pool I maintain for Stratum II time servers. I lost track of the number of ROM's that have incorporated this patch. In fact, v3.x began 11 months ago and has brought worldwide help to the masses.

And remember, I don't have to release new versions of this patch locally because it has been so fine-tuned. But, I'm always working on the xtra.bin data almanac and the Stratum II time servers to keep this thing going strong.

To the few that have donated to support the many, thank you very much.

If anyone would like to continue to support this project

for growth in more devices and continual data provisioning, please consider donating as well.
[HTC Desire S] Fredericosilva:
Can I flash this patch over ICE DS 5(ICS)?

Im using EXT4 recovery.
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Come on now... Read the Notes Section. It's ROM independent...
[HTC Desire S] Fredericosilva:
Sorry!!

I flashed and it works fine... I have fast locks even at indoors.

btw, your links are dead...
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Someone else mentioned that the links are dead on another thread. But, they are all downloading just fine from my location and from another location I have a VNC at.

There must be some internet hiccups somewhere for some people... Haven't had reports of this in over a year from anyone... Servers are 100% online and responsive to the outside world, though. :good:
[HTC Desire S] Evi1Yoda:
Heh...I tried flashing with the CWM one and then also using method 2 with the Google no-SSL...both result in me apparently being located off of the West coast of Africa.

I'll try the AT&T specific file tomorrow and see if it makes any difference. Otherwise...I'll need to see if I can get a "stock" gps.conf file :p
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Thanks for NOT READING the Notes Section. There's one directly on point for location issues. Thanks also for not reading how to post.
[HTC Desire S] Evi1Yoda:
You're welcome!

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

That said, I had read the notes...not the "how to post a reply".

Soooo, AT&T Skyrocket (i727), CM10 Alpha 3, in Detroit, MI, no case, GPS worked fine with ICS ROMs, albeit slightly slower than when stock. Simply doesn't work with any JB ROM I've tried.

I don't use any other GPS apps, cleared cache and dalvik, tried the battery thing, looked in build.prop for the ro.ril.def... code, didn't see it, maybe I missed it.

There. :)
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
You apparently missed the Note Section which is about random locations, like being way off from your true position. Currently, it is Note number 26.

Further, you're relying on drivers in a JB ROM which are either for your device and are not designed for JB, or are for a similar device and not for JB, or for a similar device and JB. So, more to munch on than this patch being your actual issue.

This patch can bring out more hidden issues for some, though.
[HTC Desire S] Evi1Yoda:
No...I actually read all of that. Sorry I didn't post as I was supposed to, but way to be an ass about all of this.

And I never expected this to magically solve everything...it would be nice, but so be it. ****.
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
I apologize for my attitude, but I've had hundreds of posts similar where this had all been answered previously.

Further, these previously answered questions are re asked daily on the 30 patch threads. It's very exhausting and really depressing to work very hard at this and not get much from it. Just more repeats.
[HTC Desire S] Óðinsdagr:
All work is greatly appreciated ... big thanks !!
[HTC Desire S] roli006:
yeah, great work! 7 satellites being locked in seconds! :)

im curious, how it will work with navigon navigation
[HTC Desire S] JBNex:
Terrible on my gnex on AFFINITYSERIES JELLYBEAN ROM.

I'd suggest removing that ignorant post. This is not a thread about your device and thusly affects choices of others or confuses them.

Next, it works on your device but is dependent on other factors.
[HTC Desire S] tep_kubo:
hi,

so i'm having trouble getting mine to be stable. here are some details:

info:

reaper v4.0 (although the same thing occurred with v3.0) with reaper kernel

i've installed gps

my location is london/berkshire

i also have gps status installed

i am using a case but problem occurs with or without a case

my gps has worked fine in the past with stock rom (ics and gb)

the gps does not work consistently in any application (problems vary)

things i've tried (in order):

turn off location services and gps

reboot into recovery and wipe davlik cache & cache

reboot and turn on gps and reboot

battery removal

edit build.prop

cleared google maps data

sometimes the gps works as it should. but sometimes it shows one of the following problems: shows a random location; retrieves a correct location but does not update with movement; does not lock.

these have occurred immediately from many clean flashes so i can't imagine that i'm the only one experiencing these problems... perhaps it's a problem with reaper (note that i'm using the built in reaper agps patcher)

is anyone else experiencing problems?

thanks in advance
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Try an entirely different ROM to ensure this isn't some ROM source code issue. Not a different version of the same ROM or its possible base or progeny.

Could very well be hardware if you honestly followed all the Notes Section and the ROM swap doesn't solve it.
[HTC Desire S] jamadio:
First, thank you so much for your contributions. It is very clear you have worked extremely hard on this and it shows. Thanks a ton! I am currently unemployed but you have my word that I will donate when I can.

Second, I am blown away from the increased speed in locking and accuracy on my G2x. Great job! I used 3.1 no-SSL and added ro.ril.def.agps.mode=1 to my build.prop file.

I have a question. I like to use my phone to track my runs. I use the app runtastic PRO. The two most important things I am concerned with are accuracy and keeping a reliable lock. I don't mind waiting a minute or two to get a good lock so speed is not a concern. But I run in between a lot of trees so occasionally (before your AGPS patch) I would lose the lock. Are there any changes you might be able to recommend for my situation? I'm tempted to mess with the accuracy_threshold value but I don't know enough about it.

Tied in with accuracy_threshold, I noticed that within the first ~60 seconds of lock that I had between 2-10 meters of accuracy but as time continued (and I stood still) the accuracy decreased between 20 and 40 meters. Did that occur because I was locking on to less accurate satellites over time?
[HTC Desire S] Fetz Braun:
I had the same problem. But i flashed the newest radio from the official ics ruu. There is a thread about it, search for it. Now i have an accuracy between 3 and 10 meters and in runtastic gps is stable ;)
[HTC Desire S] crypted:
Official support has is now available for more devices. This brings the total officially supported to 32.

Welcome these newbies to the fold:

Samsung Galaxy S III (AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus)

Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305

Asus Transformer TF300T

Motorola Droid X2

Samsung Galaxy S 4G
