[MENTION=7538086]Rosien_HoH[/MENTION] Hi. This is weird. You should have root access if you're on CM12.1, as one can't flash a custom ROM without root. Was root ever removed? Download from the Play Store "Root Checker" to verify if you still have root.

As for support for this app, I don't believe the dev is active anymore, or no longer supporting this app. I might be wrong, but this place hasn't seen much activity for a while.

You might have to enable Developer Options and enable Root.

Thank you so much, that fixed the problem. I suppose I never enabled root.

Hi, I am having difficulty on my xt1225 quark. I get no gps on cm13 anymore. I dont useit every day but last time I used it a few months ago it worked. Now nothing, no satellites at all. I installed TopNtp and no change. I used the basic install as provided. Any recommendation or fixes?

Thankshttp://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3826436&stc=1&d=1469717247

Maybe you can check whether or not not your /system/etc/gps.conf was modified. If not, you can try to manually copy/paste it from /data/data/by.zatta.agps/... And don't forget to set permissions afterwards!

Many thanks for this APP, for the first time ever since Lollipop on Galaxy Note 3, my GPS now locks on less than 30seconds. That is a huge margin of improvement! I have tried countless other apps and did couple of practical solution but none did the job.

Thanks again.

would anyone know why i would lose my 3d lock once the accuracy gets to 200m and less? anything above 200m and i get a lock.
[Android Apps and Games] Unbenannt0412:
I have a small problem, I get a good fix and lock even to chinese satellites (Beidou) but sometimes I loose all Glonass and Beidou satellites when playing Ingress, leaving me only with GPS satellites, according to GPS Status & Toolbox.

It corrects itself after 10-30 seconds, but I really wonder what the problem might be. I had this issue on my Sony Xperia Z3, stock and TopNTP config and now the same on my OPX (Stock and TopNTP config, same on both).

I'm running SultanRom on my OPX and as far as the profile goes, I chose 'Generic alt' and left everything else on default. I'm on LTE, could this be the problem? If, can anybody tell me what to put under 'PHONE_TYPE=' ?

At the moment it's on 'UMTS', (default) but is this correct if I'm on LTE?

EDIT: I'm on the european austrian carrier 'drei', forgot to mention that.

I have no idea, sorry..

[Android Apps and Games] Unbenannt0412:
Okay, after googling my issue, it turns out that GLONASS is automatically being turned off when I'm having a good and clear view on the sky = stronger GPS reception, it does that to save battery. My question is; how can I turn this off? I want to be able to use GLONASS satellites combined with GPS satellites at the same time, anyone can help me?
[Android Apps and Games] Sneakyghost:
Hi,

Considering you already mentioned that that issue happens on both stock and modified configs, I'd think that it isn't related to TopNTP in any way, so this might be the wrong place to ask.

Also, (forgive my ignorance) I'm thinking that TopNTP is only relevant to GPS, not so much Glonass or Baidou. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.

Since both Glonass and Baidou aren't available as long as GPS had been around, I could very well imagine that your problem stems from some driver issue. The phones you mentioned might be using the sane generic driver in their radio partition, which could explain the rather unspecific occurrence.

If that's the case, XDA won't be able to assist you at all, since there's virtually no access to the deeper, firmware based layers of today's smartphones.

It could be ROM related too. Still, it would be difficult to do anything about it.

The best thing you can possibly do is provide a logcat from when you loose the satellites. You would need some logcat recorder running in the background to catch the issue and then present it in a more appropriate place than this thread.

Hope I was able to provide some useful input.

FQDN woes, literal string ... fail

thanks

issues:

Add option to generate backup in case of accidental su denial

* big one *

FQDN is an acronym. Fully Qualified Domain Name, as opposed to host or ip address

host: eatkittens

fqdn: eatkittens.club

Some configs have =FQDN, Literal string

This causes me to doubt the competence of the gps.conf editor, or the one who lifed it

T-mobile config references a cert file. Is this created or downloaded by the app?

Have successive notes inherited the s3 feature set for gnss?

Hi, hope my experience may help somebody

I've been unsuccessfully trying to correct my GPS problems on my Nexus 6 ( lineage14.1) for quite awhile now. Couldn't seem to get better than a mile accuracy within a minute or two. I tried Topntp as well as manually editing my gps.conf with different settings with no luck.

Today I tried selecting GOOGLE NO SSL option from Topntp, rebooted and BAM! 10 ft (3m) accuracy within seconds.. I used the derekgordon ntp server.

Good luck..

*Update*

It works on my Note 3. I back out of topntp then launch it again then it works. So, it seems to only hang the first time there. Still crashes on my axon.

Here are some dumps if anyone else needs for whatever reason (google, google no ssl):

I've always used TopNTP but it seems it doesn't work with Nougat? It crashes every startup on my Axon 7 running stock nougat and hangs at the "Setting up" on a Note 3 running resurrection nougat.

Can anyone share their gps.conf using derek gordon's server (default settings from a fresh install of topntp)?

[Android Apps and Games] crypted:
It's been a couple? years since I've been on XDA. Let me say thank you to everyone who used the patches I made way back in 2011/2012 and kept going for years. It was an amazing adventure and I'm glad that some folks still find value in them. The NTP server pool I run is still top notch, by the way. Newer Android won't find much use for these patches, if any, but the correct time has always been the most important ingredient and still should be when you're modding GPS stuff. Cheers folks and thanks for all of those "thanks" clicks over the years.
[Android Apps and Games] testrider:
Thank you! I have a Motorola G4 (running Marshmallow) and I tried everything else and the GPS just didn't work (no signal and no lock). I installed topNTP and selected North America and US and bam, instant lock and got all the signals!

Could someone please post the GPS.conf files obtainable through the app? Since the latest Android update (pie I believe) the app seems to force close on every load (with fresh install of app). I found the config files in this app to provide much quicker GPS lock than any other posted on the forum.

[Android Apps and Games] Zatta:
If you don't have satellites in sight the location service solely relies on WiFi and network. GPS status app just shows the gps data afaik, google Maps is supposed to work without gps but in that case you need to have the location service checked in your device settings.

I'm clueless about the not existence of a backup for you. Can you verify if your rom did have the file "/system/etc/gps.conf" and that your SDcard isn't full? Other things don't come up into my mind because everything else seems to work for you and you are the first to report this bug?

That can be. Don't fix what is good already. The major improvement for this is the better and more reliable ntp server maintained by DG resulting in more accuracy, especially for stand alone gps performance.

So, I'm running cyanogenmod 10.1 M3, and I've been having issues with the GPS. I downloaded this app, and used it, but I still get nothing. GPS test shows i have no satellites in view or anything. Google maps always says your current location cannot be found. The one time your tool did do something, my gps said I was in the middle of the Atlantic ocean near the equator. I am in Canada haha. What am I doing wrong.

I've got a plastic case on the phone. The GPS had worked fine before I installed a 4.1 or 4.2 rom on it. I went back to cyanogenmod 10 from 10.1 because I found it to be more stable, and sometimes GPS test will show that there are satellites in view, but my phone never locks on to them.

EDIT.

So I went back to an ICS backup that i had of my stock rom, and the gps works fine. I've got 12 in view, and I lock onto 4 withing 10 seconds or less in GPS test, however, when I go into google maps, it just says your current location cannot be determined. Why wouldn't maps work, but GPS test can. And why on JB nothing works. I might have to try the stock JB update later this week to see if I have any difference there.

Hey guys

/applause for all the work I have only read about so far, I have a history of GPS issues on my Galaxy S2, and if you could spare a minute just for some basic questions, it'd be much appreciated.

Galaxy S2 on Orange UK mobile network, GPS was superb on Gingerbread, but after horrible GPS problems with ICS 4.0.1/4.0.3/4.0.4 stock ROM (the damn GPS lock used to take 5-10 minutes on a good day, 45 minutes-never on a bad one, kept losing lock very easily, accuracy was awful... ), I upgraded to JB 4.1.2 few days ago, and it GPS fixing seems to be a lot better at least, the GPS lock is obtained after 20 - 40 seconds, usually about 6 satellites "in use", but the accuracy is not all that great. It's all right, but I think it was much better on Gingerbread. I use micoach running app, and very often the placement on google maps is about 20 feet off where I really was. I realise this is not a lot, but very often it sums up the distance with almost 10% extra mileage, which is a lot.

I rooted the phone with Siyah kernel yesterday, mainly because of AGPS patch, but now I find this, so my main questions are:

1) Should I install both AGPS Patch and TopNTP, or is it enough just to install TopNTP?

2) I have manually backed up, just in case, /etc/gps.conf and /etc/sirfgps.conf, however I cannot find SUPLROOTCERT file on my phone?

3) I also have "GPS Test" and "GPS Status" apps installed on my phone, but they don't have superuser privileges. Is that all right?

4) Is it easy to uninstall the app and revert back to original settings just in case that something goes wrong?

Looking forward to testing your app!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Zatta:
1) Just TopNTP

2) not ask phones have the certificate. The app installs one for you if you choose a profile with ssl.

3) Those apps don't require root. They don't change anything, mine does change the gps.conf file. It needs root to do so because it is located in /system.

4) Yes, very easy. On the first start the app creates a backup of gps.conf file. You can restore it easily from the settings menu of the app. If you want to revert to original settings you can do so before you remove the app.

Thanks for your interest!

Thanks very much mate, that's very kind for all the info. I know "GPS Test" and "GPS Status" don't need root status, I was more asking would that make it OK to have on the phone along with TopNTP :)

I have done some testing again today, JellyBean has definitely fixed whatever was wrong with IceCreamSandwich, GPS locks in at around 30-40 seconds and most, and sometimes locks in to 6-7 satellites out of 8-9. However, this is what I'd like to improve on (attached image, won't let me link):

Thin black line is roughly where I was going through, I was very conscious to move in the straight line, I realise there will be slight derivations as it's not a 'proper' GPS device, it's only a smartphone, but I do think that those derivations especially left/right at the very start are a bit too large.

Anyhow, I will report here as soon as I install it, probably in the next day or so!
[Android Apps and Games] Zatta:
Oh, I didn't understand you correctly in that case.

I have Gps Status installed, for sure it is okay to have all those apps installed.

Only the Faster### apps interfere with each other and TopNTP as they modify the same file.

[MENTION=4667922]karimrim[/MENTION], I've added a new apk to post three of this thread. Would you be so kind to test it and report back at this thread? The app overwrites an existing addon.d script on the first run after upgrading to the new version. There is no need to re-install the patch if you have already running on you current nightly.

Can you link the zip's to the app thread too? I'd like to link people to your app to encourage donations but I'd also want to link to the zip's. It'd be handy to have them two things covered in one thread. Just a thought.

If you're looking for app translations I can offer the German stuff. Have translated a thing or two in Windows phone apps a while ago and think I'm able to. If your update frequency isn't too high I would be glad to help out. Just couldn't cope with redoing translations every week like...

Thanks, in fact, a German translation would be highly appreciated! I haven't had reason for months to update the app so that part would be fine. I'll drop you a pm soon.

The app is meant to replace the zips actually, simplifying the process for users. Only problem with that is that I developed it for android 4+ so gingerbread is not supported. We can put a link to the zip threads though, there are 15 or so different threads out there.

No, you don't have to flash/install this every time, only after you have flashed a new ROM and you don't have the add-on.d function with it (like cyanogenmod has).

It is normal that a "cold" start takes longer than a"warm"- or "hot"-start.
