Hey guys,

Ever since the ICS update, my GPS has been failing to lock, even when 10+ satellites are visible (according to various GPS utilities).

I've tried all the GPS fixes (external_lna = 0, updating certificates, switching to non-ssl, adding time servers, AGPS reset/download, etc).

I'm trying to determine if this is a hardware thing, or a software thing.

Can anyone post their ROM version, how many satellites are visible, and whether or not you get a fix after one minute (outdoors)?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] The_Bizzel:
The 3.1 agps google patch I used can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447591
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
Which one did you use ? I also am having a horrible time with GPS not locking.. I've tried editing my gps.conf, external lna=0, gps aids etc etc and still can't get this thing to lock after ICS update using UCLH2 Literom 0.6 build by thegreatergood, as well as with 9 satellites located... Iwill lock but as soon as i move my phone I loose it.

I used the gps 3.1 from the site mentioned in the above post but still have no success in locking GPS.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Yeah, I tried the AGPS patch.. no dice. I'm suspecting it's not an AGPS issue at all. A cold, unassisted lock should take no longer than a minute or two; this feels like something firmware or hardware related.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] soadzoor:
I also had this problem but for longer time, my gps couldnt lock with GB either..It took about 10 min, sometimes even more to lock.. or sometimes just simply didnt lock.. so I tried every possibilities Ive found, and after long weeks of searching and trying millions of useless apps and fix methods,I found this app,called gps doctor:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...edium=organic&utm_term=gps+doctor+google+play

after a little hesitation I gave it a try.. yea i know it costs about 2dollars but it was my last hope and i was about to give up trying, so i really hoped this would work.. and so it did! Now I get a lock within seconds!

sometimes my gps starts to be ****ty again though, but that is when I open the app and press quick fix, that makes some kind of "xtra injection" i guess.. After seconds everything is back to normal for days/weeks and I can actually use navigation and positioning without a problem, like never before
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
**** Heads up!!! I have seen this EXACT post before in other threads... looks more to me like someone's spamming their app....

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

lambgx, what ICS build are you using? When I was using CL9 My GPS works fine... when i've reverted back to that nandroid backup, it seems to be ok ...

I'm going to play with it a bit more to confirm this issue... I've been having some minor issues with the ULH lite rom I've installed so I'm going to bounce back and forth and see if this seems common.

I can post my gps.conf if I find it works.... I'm on Rogers in Canada. My GPS was also working in GB so not sure what your issue may be..
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Hrm. Well, spam or not... it actually seems to have worked! I bought the app about an hour ago, but only tried it just now since you posted the warning. Got a lock in about 45 seconds, and warm restarted in under 5! I wasn't able to get a lock after 15 minutes prior to that...

So, could it be simply invalid or stale data gets cached on the GPS chip, and it's simply a matter of purging it? Looks like that might be the case! :D

I'm running the stock UCHL2 build and LiteKernel v1.0, also on Rogers.

I'll keep testing over the next few days and post my results, but it looks like this fix may have done it!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
I cracked and bought it too ... i'll also follow up...

so far so good, gps locks quick in gmaps... less than 20seconds.

From what i've read you need to keep it installed and run it periodically, i would love to know what it actually does behind the scenes so it could be made free and contribute to the scene.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
2$ is not much when you think of it. I may buy this as well but want to see if JB fixes all our GPS issues first since I will be switching to it once the camera is fixed. I agree if it is only deleting some files we should be able to do this ourselves but it states that it replaces some files with valid data. Here is what they say they do"GPS Doctor works by clearing stale cached values that can mislead your GPS chip as it searches for your location, then injecting the correct values into the chip using data downloaded from NTP and XTRA servers."

JB
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Actually, I gotta say it is a very well written app, and appears to do quite a bit. I suspect the GPS problem some of us are seeing on the Glide is endemic across all Android devices (possibly other OSes) too.

I've had this problem on every phone I've ever owned. Some worse than others, obviously. But, the day you buy it, it locks in 5 seconds. Every year seems to add 5 minutes to that lock time. I assumed it was antenna degradation, but maybe it is just a bug in the sirf firmware; it continues to accumulate bad predictive data and never expires it.

I suspect this won't be the last device I use GPS Doctor on, and to say $2 isn't very much is an understatement. :good:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] santimaster2000:
Totally buying this app, but, I'm pretty sure anybody with some coding skills, can take it apart and make it part of the system.

Any takers ? dman ? If you, or anybody can achieve this, $ 10 are waiting on my PayPal account. You can ask dman, I've already donated more than $ 40, and I haven't even downloaded his ROM yet XD
[Samsung Captivate Glide] terinfire:
As much as I'd like to see this incorporated into CyanogenMod or something, I also don't want to cut out the developer who worked hard to figure out what this problem is...

I just downloaded/bought it. $2 is cheap. I finally bought Titanium Pro, since I've been using it forever too. Rather than paying someone else to make it free and undermining the work of the original developer, why not support the original developer? Imagine how you might feel if dman was the developer of this and someone from another forum broke it apart and incorporated into their ROM, for free?

Thoughts on the app, though? Wow! It locked my GPS immediately. Sideloaded it on a few other devices I have just to see how it handled... And yeah. 5 seconds and it locked. Just amazing. Removing now, but this thing is totally worth it. $2 well spent!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] santimaster2000:
I totally get your point, but you have to admit that having this feature available for any ROM Developer to put it into his own ROM, would be a major breaktrough for the Android Community, just think about it, GPS lock, in just 5 seconds, whatever devices/ROM you're using, sick !
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Conspiracy theory time. So like, what is it about SIRF chipsets that makes them prone to degradation over time? As I mentioned earlier, I've had this problem on countless devices.

It seems like such an obvious problem, solved by either regularly purging stale data, or at least to presenting the user with a reset option.

What hasn't Antenova, Google, or even Samsung resolved this issue? Planned obsolescence? Do they just not acknowledge the issue?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
Even after paying for GPS Doctor I'm still having issues locking a signal ... It took about 5 minutes the other day to lock on, while my TomTom was working the entire time guiding my way.

Other times I can lock w/ GPS Status in 24 seconds.

This morning I tried again from a rural area outside of my city (Calgary) and after sitting for 2 mins, no wifi anywhere near, I didn't even FIND more than 1 satellite let alone lock onto a signal.

I've tried using gps doctor, resetting the info re-download agps settings ... nada.

I'm going to flash back to stock GB rogers build sometime in the next couple of days w/ Odin and see if I can get the GPS to lock.

I'll need to do some more reading as I've read there's more than just the gps.conf that are involved in finding the signal (ie certificates etc.).

If someone can summarize which files I should look for if I get it working or point me to the right thread to explain it, it'd be much appreciated.

(and soadzoor my apologies for accusing you of spam, gotta be wary on anything internet these days ;))
[Samsung Captivate Glide] soadzoor:
No problem :)

another suggestion: last time my glide had troubles with even viewing a sattelite,just like yours.. Not even the gps doctor helped, but when I RESTARTED the phone AND used the app again, I got a lock in 20 seconds under clear sky.. if Im indoors, the chances are a lot worse to view sattellites and lock to them.

so u can try restart the phone and then try again, let me know if it helped..

by the way im also thinking of going back to GB, I had less problems with that (less bugs,smoother gameplay), but first I'll try dman's JB. just waiting for a release that camera and physical keyboard work on
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Ya I've found that helps too; actually pulling the battery used to help on my old phone. Seems the GPS chip doesn't always power down across reboots.

Also waiting for dman's JB. I think CM will solve so many issues on our device. Can't wait. :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] fighttheangrybunny:
Fixed by the new ATT update. FYI.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
Not fixed on my phone on Rogers network.

I format sdcard, wiped everything, flashed the UCLJ3 update via Odin, GPS took minutes to lock.

When using navigate after it got a fix (finally) it lost the signal within a minute and couldn't recover it again.

I installed GPS Doctor again, gps status etc. 11 satellites found, 0 fixed.....

I'm startin' to loose my mind on this one :|
[Samsung Captivate Glide] soadzoor:
well,since I flashed the UCLJ3, my gps is much worse.. even gps doctor doesnt help that much, I always have to reboot and hit the app, and reboot again, and theres no guarantee that itd work.. :@ but sometimes i get a lock,yea.. I just cant wait for the new cm 10 release, Im sure it will be better than anything else
[Samsung Captivate Glide] greeneyez15o:
no luck not even with gps doctor
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Sigh. It's 2012. You'd think by now manufacturers would have sorted this GPS stuff out. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] thegreatergood:
I think i have a fix .... the next version of liteROM will have it (0.8.4) I have never been able to get a lock ... and have gotten one for the first time today ....
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
I downloaded Rogers stock GB rom, flashed it onto my device and within seconds in my basement I had gps status get a lock off only 4 satellites.

Google maps locked my location in navigation pretty quickly as well.

/etc/gps.conf contents is :

[Samsung Captivate Glide] thegreatergood:
yeah GB has a lot of stuff working that we've been having trouble with in ICS .... alright i uploaded LiteROM 0.8.4 .. as well as instructions that worked for me ... let me know if it works for you ...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] greeneyez15o:
It works ! ! ! Hey do u think u could add faster gps app, if peope still have problems locking , check it out please
[Samsung Captivate Glide] soadzoor:
Now I also flashed this liteROM. The first fix took a while (5-10) minutes, but there were a lot of sattelites in view meanwhile, so I knew it'd work sooner or later.. Now it locks up fairly quickly (about an average of 30-45seconds outdoors, which seems to be good after "no sattelites in view at all" sign with other ROMs) The strange thing is: after I close the gps test (while already having a fix) and immediately restart it (I mean in a couple of minutes), then it locks up in 2 seconds, literally..

It would be great if it always locked up that fast, and I also think it could be managed by software (I just don't know what it should do... I think these injections and stuff.. But every app is still missing some key feauture I think) because the GPS antenna itself works really well I guess..

Anyway, thanks for the great liteROM, it's so far the best ROM I've tried, with a lot of customization and jellybean-like features (eg.: folders.. or was it in stock ICS, too?.. )
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
soadzoor, I didn't have the same luck but restored gps status w/ previous data from the titanium backup...

Once it's locked are you able to drive around and have it keep locked and use Navigation ?

** update **

I reflashed literom 0.8.4 using all defaults and litemod kernel 1.1.1, stock modem added everything ... its working like a charm. I was able to navigate using waze and GMaps and it kept the signal and tracked real time.

I don't know what TheGreaterGood did but holy **** I'm uber thankful for him on this one!! Smack that thanks button!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] thegreatergood:
I'm glad it works for u guys ... I'll see if I can improve it further ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
Can you show what /etc/sirfgps.conf looks like as well ?

Essentially had to make minor changes to 2 files:

NTP_SERVER=0.oceania.pool.ntp.org [changed from: noth-america.pool.ntp.org since] since I'm in Australia.

/etc/sirfgps.conf

EXTERNAL_LNA=0 [changed from 1]

FREQUENCY_AIDING=1 [changed from 0]

ATT_NETWORK_OPERATOR=0 [changed from 1 since I'm not on AT&T]

Rebooted and ran 'GPS Test', once it found 8 satellites and locked onto 3 of them within a few minutes I then ran Google Maps while driving in the car and it stayed locked onto my position.

Coolio.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] soadzoor:
So afterall Ive always had problems with the gps, I think with the literom it was a bit better, but after a reboot or a few days/hours without using it, it always took a couple of minutes to get a lock.. now, since I installed dmans cm10 I ALWAYS get a lock (even after reboot) within seconds,however if i check how many sattelites Im locked to, I always see 0 (see screenshot below..)..

its very strange, i mean.. getting and accurate position in seconds without locking to any sattelites?

I also tried sygic navigation, it locked my position quick and it was accurate, but the matter with sattelites was the same. Anyone else experienced this? Dont get me wrong im glad its working better than ever before, its just really strange and im curious :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
could be its not able to read the amount of satelites in that rom. Just that, that call is not supported with that ROM. As long as it works right. Example in Windows I would say that API call is no longer supported. Don't know if I can call it an API call in Android or if it has a different term.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Godfrd824:
The problem I'm having is that the GPS loses the lock whenever the screen times out. My G1 never did that, so how can I fix that?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mapo01:
I am also interested that yohan4ws or someone with a Rogers i927R post the content of sirfgps.conf, or attach the file itself.

sorry for late reply post about the AGPS patch..

soo, none of those AGPS patch zips work since updating to latest ICS update. they worked BEFORE the update.

im very crabby that i can't get the GPS to work.

the standard gps apps i use for android are GPS STATUS and GPS TEST PLUS. but even with all the tools and options that come with those apps, gps STILL is beyond horrid.

im ready to make a serious donation to someones paypal account to come up with some sort of CWM zip fix for these gps issues.

i may just flash back to a different rom. i use my gps for work alot, and now i'm redused to using our newscars 10 year old gps systems which are just as horrid, or have some mapquest printouts.

A great shortterm solution i came up with is to turn off my phone, and crack open a beer. seems to make everything better :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
Agree, nothing seems to fix the very first lock of 2 to 3 mins, then after that running another App locks within a few seconds.

But then wait a few hours or a day I'm not sure how long exactly, its back to 2 to 3 mins to lock.

Searching seems to find these 3 links, none of which make much difference,

I think I wasnt clear enough above, so let me get this straight: on CM10, gps does work like a charm, always locks your position within 10-15 seconds (yea,for the first time,too), and is stable enough for daily use. However If u really need the camera/voice suffs, I suggest you to wait for a fully working release, but gps DOES already work better on beta2, than on any other roms, I claim that. ;)

I just found out that if you turn on wifi and then go into Gmaps, you'll get a lock in like 3 seconds, it takes minutes if wifi is off.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hazard1nc:
I have had the issues myself until I went outside after kernel reinstall of lite kernel and stood in my frontyard waiting for it to update and it works just fine after 5 minutes of waiting it did just fine.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
Tried GpsFix again about 7 hours later and it took 4 mins to lock, so not that great considering GMaps on its own can take 2-3 mins after a reboot to lock on.

You mean wifi on AND connected to an internet capable access point?

Cause I always keep wifi on, whether on an access point or not. Dont see much of a difference in GPS lock speed whether on wifi or umts.

Wifi on, not connected to anything. Now whenever I wanna use Gmaps, I just turn wifi on, get into Gmaps, it will lock in a few seconds, then I turn wifi off and g about my business.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
I'm running PACman and these are the only issues I've found:

You need to substitute a corrected STMPE_keypad.kl to get the keyboard working correctly (easy, literally just remount / rm / cp / chmod and reboot. Once done it's permanent until you next flash a ROM update). Even with the fixed KL file, three keys on the keyboard (symbol, voice search, .com) do the wrong thing or nothing at all. They're still bindable in games though.

Screen rotation ignores the keyboard. It goes off gravity whether the keyboard is open or not.

Neither the keyboard nor the capacitive buttons light up.

Sometimes the audio system gets screwed up and stuttery. Still trying to pinpoint what triggers it. A reboot always fixes it.

Installing the update for Google Search will break Google Now. Uninstalling the update will get it back.

Everything else works, even the camera as of v18.2.

-E- Oh yeah, some system apps are ignoring DPI and everything's rather tiny in those. Almost like they're using the tablet interface.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] The_Bizzel:
Good question...could whatever coding that was applied to get the gps to work on cm10, be made into a patch zip for stock rom?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
Maybe, but it'd be a hell of a lot of work, moreso probably than hammering out the last few hardware issues in the Covenant kernel and getting our phone to 100% working in AOSP derivatives.
