And you are doing an amazing job,this patch is a life saver.:)Keep it up.:good:

Thanks for taking that issue(fraud) into account.
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Sorry for the misunderstanding amigo. This was weird because it did not show your quote of him in my XDA app when I read it. Rather, it showed just your comment.

Thanks to the both of you for elaborating on this. Upon review in a browser, everything makes sense now! LoL :o

Flashing it via CWM recovery giving "Status 0" error so I am gonna use method 1.

As you have recommended,I want to install "Google Specific No-SSL v3.1" build.

Which No. is it displaying in AGPS installation script ?

If I am correct,

Google Specific build v3.1 = No.3

Google Specific NO-SSL build v3.1 = ??? (Can't find this one,No.4 is for the version v2.2):rolleyes:

Google Specific Alternate* build v3.1= No.5
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Mount the /system/ partition first before flashing to see if that helps. But, of course, I do state:

Personally, I only use ES File Explorer to copy files back and forth rather than pushing or flashing.
[Wildfire Android Development] optimusodd:
So Google Specific NO-SSL build v3.1 is not listed in AGPS installation script ?:confused:
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Ah, yes it is if you download the 3.1 ADB ZIP. It's option #4.

It seems I have a typo in the batch script. It's a pain managing two almost identical options (3.1 and 2.2, currently).
[Wildfire Android Development] optimusodd:
Thanks for the clarification.

So "4. Install v2.2 Google Build Without SUPL SSL (crypted recommends this)" is in fact "Google Specific No-SSL v3.1",right ?Sorry,Just want to make sure before pushing it.
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Correct, it's just a typo as everything else says 3.1 and it's the 3.1 ADB pusher. I edited the batch but need to rebuild and upload new ZIPs so that it reads properly.

I'm using HTC wildfire.

Which file should I download? [There are too many files, and I'm a bit confused]

I've got ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0

Please help!
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Quit being lazy. There are two Recommended downloads. And, differences are CLEARLY EXPLAINED in the Notes.

I worked hard providing all the information. Don't insult me by ignoring it.
[Wildfire Android Development] ka9090:
Not trying to insult you, mate.

I really didn't understand it.

Will ya please help me?

I'm using cm 7.2.0-buzz

Gratitude in advance
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Please note the "pick either" statement for the Recommended Builds.

Here are a couple Notes that are very, very on point for your confusion:

All of this should make you choose one of the two Recommended items. And, #7 would lead you to probably prefer the No-SSL variant of the two recommended ones.
[Wildfire Android Development] ka9090:
Ok, so I downloaded the Google Specific No-SSL v3.1 build.

I hope I did the right thing.

Thank you, once again.
[Wildfire Android Development] optimusodd:
I have tried all the 3 methods and none of them worked for me.:confused:

I am gonna change the recovery and flash the zip file again,let's see if that works.

Okay,tried 2 different recoveries (2.5.0.7 and 3.0.0.6) but getting "Status 0" error.
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
You're not being very descriptive in things not working for you.

Do you mean you cannot install it through any of the three methods provided? If that's the case, you have a ROOT access problem because there is no way you would fail to copy the files directly through a file explorer app like ES.
[Wildfire Android Development] optimusodd:
------------------------------SOLVED----------------------------------------

Nevermind,solved it.:)Thanks,now my device is getting locked onto 8-9 satellites.

--------------------------

I have got root access.

First method completed successfully but still my GPS is not getting locked.

Recovery method is giving "Status 0" error.

I have tried both Root Browser and ES File Explorer and both of them have been granted superuser permissions.

Screenshots are attached.

What's going wrong ?Any idea ?:rolleyes:
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
If all Notes have failed you, then one can only assume it's bad hardware...

Hi

Just tell me if I'm wrong

This patch works only for agps, I mean with internet connection, right ?

Because I've installed it, and no improvement was observed when I activate GPS without internet connection.

Thanks
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
It requires internet to get the best improvements, yes.

But if you have internet every several hours and use GPS with it connected to a data stream, it should cache data to keep helping you.
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
TopNTP - the app.

We need bèta testers. Hopefully we can get some useful feedback to optimize this app. The patch itself has been proven to work, we just need to know for as much as possible devices if we can a) really install the patch and b) if the app is sort of clear in its use.

Get it on Google Play!
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
sweet - but it looks like the device's usage drastically shrinked :D

I'd really like to test your app but Google Play says "not compatible". Most probably the app needs a GPU/Open GL 2.x. If that's not the case you could provide the .apk and I'll give it a go ;)

BTW: I've noticed a few problems with GPS lock recently - still using v. 3.1 - is it just me or a server prob?
[Wildfire Android Development] Zatta:
I don't know your ROM but the app requires android 4.x as a minimum. Open GL is not a pre requisite.

The apk can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39339739 , at post 3. You could post a comment there as well, the thread can use a bump ;)

As far as I know the server is all okay.

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. ;)

Dude i have question about the Patch

1st i already done this on my Wildfire S : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239713

Im with the Latest Stock EU 2.3.5 ROM and i must to tell you

that after i donte this gps.conf file now when u turn on my GPS even from cold start i need 2 to 5 seconds to Lock the Satelites

But i saw just your pach now and wondering to try it too.

So what does the patch do exactly?

And can you tell me witch one to install i mean will be better for me and my stock ROM?

Thank you in advance!

P.S Now im cheking what is writen inside your gps.conf file if you need i can give you mine i don`t know do is posible the GPS to lock for 1 seconds but im sure that my gps.config work because im using GPS all the time and befor to edit it i waiting 3 times more for satelites. this is why im interesting in your pach too
[HTC Wildfire S] crypted:
Good question. First, that user used my work as a base for his article. I spoke with him on that because no credit was given. Apparently, someone else gave him my work and my explanations to be a basis and didn't inform him that it was verbatim something I said.

However, my patch does more than what is discussed there especially if you choose the 3.x trunk. The reliance on NTP.ORG is not the most prudent choice. So, I created my own centrally controlled DNS pool for NTP servers that have proven to be reliable across cellular networks. NTP.ORG pools thousands of servers that do not always have the best networking transmissions. This causes issues to phones who are served that NTP server by NTP.ORG.

Next, v3.x uses my own centrally maintained xtra.bin file. My server and its mirrors have proven to provide users with that data file much faster than Qualcomm servers. Further, we use a series of scripts to ensure that we are serving the most reliable file. Sometimes, Qualcomm files aren't reliable enough for our tastes. We replace it with a custom file when Qualcomm falls below a minimal reliance threshold.

Literally, a large number of ROM developers bake this into their ROMs on already supported devices. From that, thousands of users operate with this patch daily. My servers are sending xtra.bin files and NTP server information constantly.

I always recommend the "Google Build" to all users. Most ROM dev's use the 3.1 Google Build in their ROM's at this time. Other builds are available for those who want Network specific options.

The alternate build is for those who have an old Qualcomm GPS chipset that cannot handle particular data processing. This resolves that problem.
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
My GPS is working good but I'll test this tomorrow out of curiosity.

I stumbled upon your thread a couple of weeks ago and posted a link to it in a GPS thread for wildfire s, just never got round to trying it.

Thanks.
[HTC Wildfire S] crypted:
Let me know how it goes. I'm looking forward to supporting more devices officially. Right now, I'm on target to do official support for 7 more devices including this one if all goes well.
[HTC Wildfire S] tsalta:
OKay thank you i already install Patch 3 Google you recomend will chek and will see how its working and will write a coment here

TEST: I install the Google one that you recomend And i test it outsite from cold Start what i mean is just restart the device and RUN the GPS after 6-7 Seconds IS done and what i saw i have Locked 11 Satelites this is alot i think.

So this is when i run the GPS for 1st time after sistem rebot

After this if i run it again there is not time to lock the satelites i mean the satelites are lock for 1-2 seconds almost imideately after run the GPS

So im guessing your pach is working :) Because the result is cool and 11 Satelites is serious

How fast received data is "expiring" ? I'm asking this because my phone rarely has internet connectivity while using gps (mobile internet disabled).
[HTC Wildfire S] crypted:
The xtra.bin data files upon creation are valid for 24 hours. The least amount of time from my server (v3.x uses it) is 23 hours if you download it right before rebuilds.

[HTC Wildfire S] crypted:
If you want to give it a try before you hear a response from him, I'd start off with the v3.1 Google build. That is used almost all the time. It's also the version ROM dev's include in the ROM's that do include this patch.
[HTC Wildfire S] Turtlejoe22:
But what method should i use ??
[HTC Wildfire S] crypted:
I prefer flashing the file from my SD card in recovery mode.
[HTC Wildfire S] __DS__:
btw, where downloaded file stored in phone filesystem ?
[HTC Wildfire S] crypted:
It depends on what files you are discussing. Do you mean the files that the patch flashes? If so, it flashes gps.conf and suplrootcert to your /system/etc/ directory.
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
I used the version 3.x trunk cwm flashable zip. Just download and flash just like any other zip.
[HTC Wildfire S] __DS__:
No, downloaded file with gps info.
[HTC Wildfire S] crypted:
Good question. In theory, it should be downloaded and stored in /data/ but that never happens. The daemon, gpsd, is in charge of downloading and parsing it. Various configurations operate differently. I would imagine yours downloads, parses, and stores it as data within its general gps temp files containing operative information.

Sorry I cannot be more specific at this point. My work focuses on better retrieval of information, time, and enabling extra variables which permit faster processing of the GPS data.

I haven't played with the internal guts and libs of the GPS system itself. I have found the internal structure is fine as it is based on our work thus far; the problem for many of us lies in the gps.conf configuration and latency for data downloads.
[HTC Wildfire S] tsalta:
I install it via the ADB push i think this is even more easy because no need to put the file in the storage card then go in recovery and flash it etc

Its simple download just the ADB conect the device run the bat press 3 or whatever you want hit enter and you are ready then will ask you for rebot its a job for a seconds super easy so i flash it like this:)

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turd Furguson:
Which one do I pick if doing cwr?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crypted:
Any of them should flash with CWR. Almost all were built with CWR binaries. CWM builds use its binaries and are the only ones different from CWR flashables.

I use and recommend the Google Build to all users. Others are just for those wanting to be more in tune with their cellular network. That's a false hope usually.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turd Furguson:
Any tips to see how many satellites I am hooked up to prior to this patch for verification?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crypted:
If you have not flashed yet, you can run GPS Status (app from the Market) to see. Then, run the same app afterward.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turd Furguson:
Does the patch need to be installed each time you change a ROM or is it a permanent change?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crypted:
It has to be reinstalled each time as the ROM will require a partition format OR will replace the patch files with its own.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crypted:
Any testers out there with results positive or negative? This is the last device I have to determine to support or not to support officially.

I'd like to do so, but I need to know that it's good to go and helpful.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] crypted:
Very glad to hear that my suspicions are being confirmed! :D

I hope to add this to official support soon, like I said.

Otherwise, the first post has been updated to include some more information especially in the Notes section.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crypted:
All threads have had an overhaul that was way overdue.

High points:

Note discussion of what the patch does and what it replaces.

Note confirming ICS support from various users.

Note section has gotten long, but covers most questions I am repeatedly asked.

A total of 9 officially supported new devices.

Download section reminds people to backup their settings. You only need to backup /system/etc/gps.conf and /system/etc/suplrootcert if you have one. But, I never had to revert!

That being said, welcome to official support. Thank you all who confirmed and worked with me to ensure it was proper to offer official support to this device.

As always, please don't forget to click Thanks if you use or like this patch -AND- don't forget to Rate the thread.

Donations

are always welcome.

EDIT: Method 1, the easiest of the methods for those unfamiliar with file managers or recovery, has been updated. Some people required that the script also mount the partition. I have added that line to all options available and updated the ZIP file. Thanks

enigmaamit

for confirming that the new PUSH script works.

With patch

No lock, 0 Sats.

I installed the google build, for CWM. I changed the mount to /system, everything installed fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crypted:
I'm quite curious why you installed this patch. The first post, third line and in bold, I quote myself:

What was your issue with your GPS reception prior to flashing it? You say you locked on 6-7 sats. Was there a large error range?

You say you have Wifi disabled. Do you have a data connection at all?

Where are you located and what are your surroundings like?

Can you try and flash an "Alternate" build version to make sure you aren't being buggered by a known issue with older GPS hardware? This is

discussed under each download section and in the Notes.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Upstreammiami:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] crypted:
Consider yourself lucky and happily a part of an extremely small minority to not have problems! ;)

As the third line of the first post on this thread states, this is to assist those who do have issues. Unfortunately, many of us are plagued by a crap GPS without doing something to fix it...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Thacallmehess:
1. I'd lose signal from time to time.

2. I'm testing this- thats why. Your curiosity isn't important.

3. This is a sat test right? No need for wifi connection.(All tests were done with wifi off)

4. I have good 3g service where I live.

5. I flashed 3.x google and 3.x google alt. As well as, 2.x for both. Still the same result.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crypted:
I'm sorry if I offended you, I was just curious what the objective was so that I could structure a mode of attack to resolve the issues you're having.

This is not a satellite test. This is a patch to allow people to gain better reception from their GPS unit and gain better accuracy on the assumption that they have issues and need them resolved.

A data connection of some sort is necessary for certain portions of the process, especially those that speed it up so quickly. The data connection can be WiFi or mobile network.

The gpsd will automatically download a xtra.bin file at least every 24 hours, but normally more often than that because the file it downloaded previously had already aged.

The gpsd will use NTP (time servers) to get a proper time to use when parsing xtra.bin data as it is the gps satellite almanac.

The gpsd will use the SUPL to assist in location assistance as well. These are servers that process data to quickly assist in finding you.

Your phone also can use tower-based location assistance normally.

If you wouldn't mind, try with WiFi enabled to see what happens.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Thacallmehess:
None taken. What I meant was, this was to really help with GPS and for the majority: satellite locking. Having wifi on would negate it being a full GPS test/fix because my wifi network would also give away my location. When I'm doing 75 on the highway, i'm not connected to a wifi network, so I chose to turn wifi off.

Note: I also ran the tests with wifi on, leading to the same results. In the GPS status app, it didn't show any number of sats, it just showed what direction, and all of that worked fine(i also didn't get the GPS icon on the status bar). The app had the loading circle and never fully "locked", i reflashed my ROM and everything was back to normal.

It might be a one-off with the ROM I'm using.

Nonetheless, thanks for your efforts.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crypted:
Thank you for the info. I contacted your ROM's dev about the matter. I'm curious if the dev will have the same result.

EDIT: Also, WiFi being on would not negate the lock from GPS Status, only some other app such as Google Maps using your network data to guess a general area. GPS Status will only show your locality from the GPS lock unless the dev changed something major since we last spoke a few months ago. But, that doesn't seem to matter for your issue anyway.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tcberg2010:
You only need 4 sats for full navigation..typically you should be able to track at least 7 .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crypted:
Right, you don't need as much as this gives you. But, when many people had zero satellites starting out, this is a heck of an improvement to end up with 9.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tcberg2010:
That's impressive..the only time I would ever think to see 0 is in a tunnel or high emi area. Usually our equipment at work gets a lock with at least nine..mil-spec though
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IvanNCase:
Just chiming in to say it's working on my thunderbolt running thundershed 1.1. GPS locks in seconds and I normally get six to nine satellites. Unfortunately I can't say that improved anything since I was getting that before but I figured I'd at least let you know that it didn't make anything worse.
