[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] crypted:
You proved your ignorance in how aGPS works. Good for you!

Downloading the almanac isn't the only thing that resolves GPS issues. Sure, you're lucky and get a great lock time. How good is your accuracy, though?

From that, this is for people with problems as the OP post discusses. Do I suggest someone use it if there isn't an issue? NO.

Before you post on some development thread, make sure you're ignorance isn't showing.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] a4rocks:
First of all, you may be using the stock ROM and as I reiterate again, stock ROMs have better GPS fix times than CM ones. Sony must have optimised them nicely but since I upgraded to Jelly Beam CM, I was having issues with respect to quick fix on location. In fact, no one even looks at GPS fixes around unless there is something drastically wrong. Good that you don't issues but please do not berate someone else's work for something that is of no use to you but a lot of use for other mates with Xperia S and JB.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] devilsneck:
First off, I'm not on stock, I'm using PA's latest JB build.

Anyway, as I said, I didn't mean to diss the member's work.

I respect the time he has put into it.

I'll just leave you guys to yourself, apoligies for pointing out something easier.

Peace.

I have pretty good accuracy, I use my GPS daily.

I only posted cause I was having the same problem and I fixed it by updating the a-gps data.

Somebody try it first maybe and report back if it helps?

Im sure you know more about GPS than me,

So Im sorry if I came along as a douchebag and thank you for your great contribution!

:good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] crypted:
aGPS almanac data renewal downloads is less than 10% of the issue most of the time.

If you open up my configuration file, you will notice that there are tons of variables and each are customized. I created sections explaining the general synopsis of var sets...

Now we have a (near) complete configuration. I tossed in that near because there could be surprises I haven't found, but this thing has brought devices back to life that had no GPS. In fact, ASUS ripped my work on the Transformer series and put it in their official ROM updates without a gracias whatsoever.

Lets then consider internet mobile data networks. I offer something more. GPS Status queries the same address in the gps.conf to update the aGPS data. Well, compare them. I provide a CDN (content delivery network) that provides xtra.bin data rather than Qualcomms overloaded server. This has brought about great resolutions in general latency and timeouts of downloading almanac data.

This is directly on subject with your little mention.

From that, I created and maintain an DNS pool of Stratum II time servers rather than NTP.ORG cable modems because of the same network testing observations.

Over 20 mobile carrier networks around the world were tested.

There's gotta be a reason why my patch has tens of thousands of direct downloads, millions of queries per month, etc.

EDIT: The dev of GPS Status and I are considering a joint effort to bring his APK and my work together in a Google Play environment. If we do it, it'll be early 2013. He knows APK side and bringing GPS readings to the forefront. I know the backend process.... Sounds like a good mix...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] a4rocks:
Crypted, my GPS isn't communicating at all with Google Maps. While GPS status is properly tracking, there is no location in Google Maps. Data connection only helps in tracking the same. What may be wrong here?

Sent from mein wünderbar Xperia S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] crypted:
Uninstall, then reinstall Maps. If all other apps are working fine with GPS, then the problem lies somewhere within the GMaps receiving and processing of the data.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] a4rocks:
I will try other apps but reinstalling, checking unchecking GPS options, clearing cache and dalvik cache haven't helped at all. It's strange because in any case, it is not even interfacing with the GPS.

Any fixes you can suggest?

Sent from mein wünderbar Xperia S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] crypted:
Did you completely uninstall Maps and reinstall it after a reboot?

And, did you try another ROM?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] a4rocks:
I haven't tried another ROM but I guess I will. And I definitely completely un installed, rebooted and reinstalled. The fact that this is so weird that I could not find any solutions elsewhere has made me mad. I actually kinda love this ROM. I will try another navigation application in the mean time but if you have a prospective solution, it would be absolutely awesome

Sent from mein wünderbar Xperia S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] crypted:
As I said before, it's a GMaps library issue from what you described. It could be ROM related since you stated that GPS Status is perfectly on target and GMaps uninstall didn't work.

If this randomly began happening with everything working 100%, something may have corrupted in one of your NANDFlash partitions....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] a4rocks:
And is the NANDFlash partition recoverable? :crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] devilsneck:
Apk on google play would be awesome!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] crypted:
I don't know how it works for your device as it's different in each model, but usually in those instances it flushes out corrupted GPS cache within a few days.

You really need to test another ROM if other navigation apps (not Google's or any relying on GMaps API) fail you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] a4rocks:
Alright crypted, tried another navigation app (Sygic) and Runkeeper and all of them showed the accurate location. So I guess its a Google Maps problem. Any other way to fix Google Maps other than wiping the ROM clean and flashing again. It just isn't interfacing with the GPS module
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] crypted:
Force stop, uninstall, reboot and clear cache, reboot, reinstall, retry.

Otherwise, not much else to do...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cyrusalmighty:
Not too familiar with dealing with GPS to speed it up other then build.prop or int.d tweaks. Im not really having problems with my GPS on my Xperia play but I might be able to help speed up my girlfriends GPS on her Infuse 4g. I just hope to not have any issues with Googles maps+ navigation, because thats all we use on our phones. Has anyone else had issues with Google maps here?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] crypted:
This cannot harm Google Maps. If you're all that concerned, do what the OP post says to do... NANDROID backup. Plain and simple.

Problems with Google Maps typically are from ROM builds that fail to have proper GPS drivers or necessary libs for GMaps in place.

EDIT: And this patch doesn't change build.prop so I don't know why you commented on it. Some devices had issues with GPS not functioning at all even after hoping that this patch would help them. The build.prop Note is regarding that kind of situation as a possible solution after the fact.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] a4rocks:
Actually this mod will definitely not do anything to GMaps. I guess it is a ROM problem for me and I will clean wipe soon. This mod will help you getting a faster fix and if it isn't doing that you can always go back to that old file. In fact, reading the text in the gps.conf file will suggest nothing doing with the system
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ofcos:
Thx for the patch.

Works good !

GoogleMaps are just as stock fast now! thx so much!

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] G.Trenchev:
Usually I have 18-22 satellites in view with 10-12 locked.Localization is always instant,within 2-3 seconds,even in buildings.The GPS in the XS is the best I've ever seen,and the only that achieved 3 meters of accuracy in a large city.Never thought it needs a patch.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ofcos:
it was like that with a stock Rom ... after cm10 it changed....

I think, to port lockscreen from optimus g, we need to patch framework (i have no experience in this but i like to try on my O2x)... in ics rom by lg, frameworks file are framework-res and lge-res, so for non lg devices i think you must give a look to sense ports or sony portings... to have an example....

So first files intresting are, lockscreen3.apk, lockscreensettings.apk, framework-res.apk and lge-res.apk.

Rooted doesn't matter. As long as it's a stock ROM for your CID, all you need to do is flash the stock RECOVERY and kernel and you're good to go.

As far as i know you need to unroot it too, its a system change that will not allow to update ......

But you could try....then we all know it for sure :)
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Actually root doesn't matter in the matter of getting OTAs. Updating through OTA will just remove root, and you can just root it again after that. Same method with ICS :)
[HTC One X] bigfun:
Same like mine. Can not upgrade without unrooting.

you have to Relock, flash the official ICS version then use auto upgrade to JB.

You don't have to go all the way back, Just use the stock rooted tar in Odin,Once done that perform all usual wipes, reboot then go into setting/back up and restore and do a factory reset. you will have to re-install CWM, but just use the Snapdragon toolkit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746665, its so easy.

I am rooted but running stock ICS via the last OTA update. For the last few days, my RAZR has rebooted randomly when I would tap on an app notification from my status bar. It did not make a difference what the app was that I tapped the notification for. Sometimes it would reboot, sometimes not. This morning I woke up around 3 AM and tapped a notification. Of course my phone rebooted and now is stuck in the reboot animation. I tried booting into recovery, wiping cache, and rebooting. It did not work. After a couple of hours I gave up and decided to reset the phone to factory settings. Ah success or so I thought.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] XenomorphXx121:
So got this today, ordered it last week from Amazon Uk and for the price I paid £10.99 I was expecting a really cheap looking case with holes in wrong places and looking like it will fall apart any minute.

But to my surprise it seems very nice, very well built and if it falls it would probably protect my note 10.1.

I actually really like it and it doesn't look cheap at all and my note fits snugly into the flip case.

It looks like a big leather wallet and even has a bit on the bottom to put the s pen in but have no idea why as my pen is nice and happy in my note.

It came with what was decribed as a free high quality screen protector but when I cleaned my screen to put it on and follow instructions to pull first plastic bit off then position it and then pull second bit off but when I pulled second bit off the whole protector came off too and wouldn't stay on the screen so guess I need to buy a separate screen protector.

For the price I think it's really great and more robust than I thought it would be and don't really care about the faulty screen protector.

It is kept closed by a magnet across the top of the case but doesn't seem a very strong magnet so think for now I'll keep it with my note in and see how the s pen responds to the screen over the coming weeks, it does close very nicely though.

If after a while the s pen starts not to respond to the screen I'm sending it right back for a refund.

I'm happy with this product and I'm not a very easy person to please when it comes to buying anything from Amazon and give very harsh reviews if I'm not happy.

The day after I bought this it was magically unavailable from stock.

It also came with a piece of paper saying if I'm not happy with this product and think it's worth less than 4 out of 5 then instead of writing a review on Amazon could I get in touch with their customer service, should I phone about the protector? :D

I'd give it 4 and a half out of 5 (half point off for protector)

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0095BZWC6

Oh and now I need a screen protector now if anyone can recommend a good one from Amazon Uk I'd be very happy :)
