[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeroseek:
I'm having a horrible time with the GPS on my gsm gnex. It finds the birds and locks on quickly but the accuracy is absolutely horrendous. When using google navi I'm oftentimes trampling through neighborhoods like Godzilla.

I've tried your various patches and they seemed to have improved my issue a bit (maybe? placebo effect) so I'd like to do some tweaking myself. My question is, where can I find definitions for ALL the variables available for use in gps.conf? I've scoured the net and came up empty.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crypted:
You have read my variable section descriptions in the gps.conf I assume? I have discussed a lot of these variables in the various patch threads.

I wouldn't touch anything except:

INTERMEDIATE_POS=1

ACCURACY_THRES=3000

The "Alternate" patch sets POS to 0. If you haven't tried the Alternate patch, do so.

Accuracy threshold resolves how to throw out bad readings from satellites. Increase it to 5000 to see if you can get some more birds to help throw out useless crap. Or, you can go down to 2000 to force it to get better data.

I'd think you would want to start out as:

INTERMEDIATE_POS=0

ACCURACY_THRES=3000

Move to:

INTERMEDIATE_POS=0

ACCURACY_THRES=5000
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeroseek:
Yup I've read your descriptions. I was asking for more because in my quest to alleviate the gps issue I've come across other variables that are not in your patch, for instance C2K_HOST and ENABLE_WIPER and I could not find adequate explanations of their meaning.

I've played with INTERMEDIATE_POS and ACCURACY_THRES, currently they are set at 0 and 0 respectively so I will try your suggestions right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lg-optimus:
I think it should work to edit the conf file manually in a terminal. I didn't look till now if this file is mounted ro und you have to remount the file system writable. If I have ssh installed on my phone again I will check this.

You can try to use the app TopNTP that was written by me but that installs all variants you like of Derek's patch.

Just make sure you are rooted!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrianyujs:
hi bro, may I know which file support gt-i8552 aka galaxy quattro?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] breversa:
Zatta,

I downloaded TopNTP and gave it a try, but I noticed two things that stopped me from actually installing gps.conf using your app :

If I select Global/Derek Gordon/Generic/Google, the SUPL_TLS_HOST is set to FQDN (= Fully Qualified Domain Name, which basically means "please input the server name here" ; see here for further explanation : http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28989-the-end-all-be-all-guide-to-your-gps/?p=777847), so I believe there is room from improvement here. :)

With several configurations, XTRA_SERVER_1/2/3 seem to randomly point to xtra3/2/4.gpsonextra.net. I believe you want to prevent overloading xtra1 with too many requests, but I thought I'd ask beforehand.

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

Crypted (and others),

First of all, thanks for your impressive work ! You seem to be one of the few GPS experts on the net. I'm glad I've found you ! ^^

So, I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9050 (maguro) running CyanogenMod 11 M12.

I used your recommended Google non-TLS version of gps.conf, and tried to use GPS Status to refresh the aGPS data.

The app displays "aGPS data downloaded" when I hit "download", but I see no network traffic to neither derekgordon.com nor gpsonextra.net (using Network Log or Network Connection apps). Now, I've read somewhere that aGPS data refresh behaves a bit funny, and that although you can ask for a refresh, you don't have any notification when it's done. Can't find the source though…

So I kept digging, and found that article regardings the SiRFStar IV GPS chip in use with the Galaxy Nexus : http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/sirf...uisition-times.

This sentence got me puzzled : "allowing SiRF to provide accurate GPS reception and helping standalone GPS makers the ability to compete with smartphone-based AGPS technology, which uses cellular triangulation to find satellites quicker"

Does that mean that the Galaxy Nexus cannot use aGPS ?

(I also stumbled upen http://xdaforums.com/gala...4-2-x-t2173731 to disable "static navigation", but does not seem to work for the Galaxy Nexus. Any thought on this though ?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ninestarkoko:
yes... it seems to be closed, unfortunately the OP has been far from the forum for months and isn't updating the thread.

In my opinion, SUPL_NO_SECURE_PORT=3425 should be changed to SUPL_NO_SECURE_PORT=7276 (if ever the entry is used at some point)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lg-optimus:
So does this mean TopNTP doesn't work at the moment?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AceNJ:
sorry if this is noobish but when i run the script it says device offline. running adb on my own and doing commands such as adb devices shows its connected and authenticated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] breversa:
I'll answer to myself :

Not all phones use aGPS, not all can use aGPS refresh, and aGPS refresh does not provide any feedback (not even success or failure).

Hey, I'm on Lineage OS and still have the GPS issue.. will this work on Lineage OS, build 20170306? And if yes how should I flash it?

2. Boot into recovery(TWRP 3.1.0)

3. Flash the zip.

4. Reboot

Right?

Also, should I delete gps.conf file before flashing this file? Please let me know...Thanks:)

Is the first thread still valid in 2019? and do i need a sim card is it mandatory somehow?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] breversa:
No SIM card has ever been needed for GPS. :)

The first thread might still be valid, but you're better off simply using TopNTP (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by.zatta.agps&hl=en_US) and set it to Derek Gordon's server. Much simpler !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crypted:
Don't set the THRES to 0.

The two variables above were removed around v1.3 of this patch. They are no longer useful. C2K is no longer supplied. Its server is gone and not replaced by the contractor.

WIPER was useful in older devices, but sent a lot of newer one's into frenzy mode. Also, it doesn't do so well in the middle of nowhere. I'd have to review my actions/notes to get a handle on what it was for. It's been a year so I don't recall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeroseek:
Yeah in hindsight setting THRES=0 was a bad idea.

Thanks for the tips, I will tweak THRES per your suggestions.

The Gnex uses the SirfStarIV gps module. Are you familiar with it at all? It comes with it's own config file: sirfgps.conf. I'm wondering if tweaking any of its variables would be beneficial.

Stumbled across this after trying to find a way to get GPS working whilst I am at sea (and without a data connection)...

Stock gps.conf would do nothing without a data connection. A slightly modified one fired up after ~180 seconds. The bundled gps.conf in this package had TTFF ~90 seconds which is some improvement..

If anybody has any further tweaks for a non-data connection they would be much appreciated, but must say am very happy :) thanks.. :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
This looks hard?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emerica243:
Yea, little bit more of a hassle then click flash, done
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crypted:
Agreed. Thank you.

You need to educate yourself on how flashing works. Different versions of recovery REQUIRE different update binaries. I would have to maintain probably 200+ total files to cover all binaries. THEN, you would have to figure out WHICH file you need based on your version and branding of recovery.

Therefore, I chose to offer options for the most common recovery versions through flashable ZIPs. To ensure those without those common options could install this patch, I provided two other methods to keep things flowing.

Donations very much welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simple23227:
very nice patch for GPS.

Using the International Gnex on Tmobile, just patched with the Google 3.1 build (using Method 2).

I can confirm that the patch is working great. I live in the Seattle area. Before, it would take at least 10 seconds to lock and another 10 - 20 seconds to get the driving direction. When in door, using GPS was not even possible, it kept waiting for location. Now, even in door, GPS locks less than 5 seconds (I get 2 - 3 seconds most of the time). Out door is a breeze.

Thanks for one of the best patches.

Just wanted to say that this is working perfectly on the JellyBean 4.1.1 OTA. Much improved over stock using the Google Specific No-SSL v3.1 build.

With stock I was getting a 30m lock within 10 seconds and it wouldn't get better over any amount of time.

Using this mod, I get 10m within 7 seconds. Love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilsonlam97:
I gotta say this patch is baws.

I used the GPS Status app after installing this patch, rebooting, then going into airplane mode and it works great now. It took 20 seconds to lock onto 6 satellites. Before I was never able to lock on without a data connection. Too bad the glitch still exists with Google Maps (google maps can't work without data connection unless a GPS signal is established with a different GPS app)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilsonlam97:
Anybody have the original files for 4.1.1?

I need to do a revert.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crypted:
Did you not do a Nandroid backup as my thread dictates? You can reflash your ROM and have the original files replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilsonlam97:
I accidentally deleted it while multi-selecting :(

Just replacing the gps.conf file from the 4.1.1 rom won't do it?

Why do I never get a GPS lock now? I have wifi, mobile data, and everything else enabled. I an see 4-8 satellites but I get no fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeroseek:
I'm in the same boat, but reading the threads would indicate that we have a solar storm interfering with gps satellites. My gps would lock just fine a day ago. Hopefully this will blow over in a few days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crypted:
Was it working previously WITH this patch? I'm not sure what to respond to with the lack of added information. Gimme some details.

I wasn't aware that the current round of flares was causing any issues...my location seems unharmed. I assume this patch was working for you until this random incident? Looks like Jul 27 and 28 will be strong days for solar storms hitting Earth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeroseek:
Yes it was working. Gps lock problems started for me some time yesterday afternoon in the Chicago area. If i give it about 5 minutes it eventually locks on 4 or 5 birds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilsonlam97:
Yeah it seems to work now. It worked before but today it never worked until now. I guess it could be a disruption from a solar storm.

I restored my gps.conf file from my 4.1.1 backups and it works much better now. I'm in Southern Ontario in Canada if that helps. This agps patch did not work very well for me.

EDIT!: Thanks to this thread, the REAL fix to my GPS problems on 4.1.1 was Google's Location Services. I turned that off and BAM! Everything is running smoothly and GPS locks instantly with stock gps.conf configuration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] provolinoo:
How do I turn Google Location Services off?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ushim6:
I can confirm that this fix at least doesn't break gps. Getting a lock in under 10 seconds, without disabling google location services.

Read the manual??? Go to Settings -> Locations and play around there. Only keep GPS enabled.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badtzo:
I can't see the difference between stock and this one, booth take 1-2min to get lock. Same satellites.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterEdF:
This patch definitely sped up the lock time and increased the sensitivity (got 6 sats almost underground) however the stability went to hell.

I use a jogging GPS app to track my morning runs and with the "FASTERGPS" app mod my track is right on the money. With this mod my "path" runs all over roofs of homes, in their backyards and through their living room! :o

It works on my xperia mini

Hello crypted,

I got to know about this patch from a link in another thread. I tried it because I couldn't get a lock using ulysse gizmos on my xperia mini st15i. Following the easiest way and flashing the zip via cwm, I was able to get a lock within 2 minutes. This is much better than before where my phone would see about 11 satellites but just seem to get stuck even after 10 minutes of waiting. Thank you very much for this patch and the detailed instructions. I'm using Real ICS lite ROM with Krsh v.3 kernel.

BTW I used the Google Specific No-SSL v3.1 build.

Officially supported at last

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.
