With the L710 tar...i DONT believe you will lose your apps/data, however, dont quote me on that. Make sure you always sync your contacts with your google account so you dont have to worry about that kind of stuff. And yes, you will be completely unrooted. Your phone will be just like it was when it came out of the box.

Qb's thread is outdated that will take the phone all the way back to LEN. and the lj7 tar probably isnt the best as its not up to date either. My file linked 2 posts above is the best way as its fully up to date and takes care of the count too. Especially if u have cwm as ur already set up to use it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tormidal:
Is it normal for the boot process to take 10+ minutes?

Im getting a little concerned that I bricked my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If it turned on its not bricked.

☆SoA: Son's of Android™☆

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tormidal:
So how long should the boot process take?

Ten minutes?

Twenty minutes?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
I'd say 5 average. No more than 10. And that's pushin it. What method did u use? If you used the Odin tar from stockroms.com then it's not going to boot until u factory reset. Sounds like u downgraded which Is why I recommended restoring my mb1 system rather than Odining lj7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
First boot can take a long time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
I bet it doesn't boot. If the op was on ma6 or mb1 then I guarantee it doesn't boot without a factory reset

Post number 3 and 4 of this thread backs that. Those people in the comments weren't bricked. They downgraded like u and didn't wipe. Evil-koncepts had it right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tormidal:
How do I wipe?

It wont let me get into recovery mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
It will do vol-up home and power. Ir's going to wipe your internal SD too just as a heads up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tormidal:
So I wipe, and then what?

Re-odin the bare bone stock that RealTic posted or....?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Reboot. Phone will be up in abt 5 mins. As a tip for the future. When you see your back and menu keys light up that's the sign that your about to boot up and all is well. your datas the issue do no need to re Odin.

When your need to return to stock always look for the system you are currently on. Downgrading will always require a data wipe. If you flash the same system your already on a wipe won't be needed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RealTic:
I forgot to mention that. The lj7 combo tar automatically does a data wipe. The tar I gave him was pretty dusty. I'm gong to try your restore method next time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Ya i saw that too. I liked stockroms.com till I realized not all of their"stock" roms are completely stock. That zip name looked a lil shady.

I have nothing against Odin just recomended my zip since I don't have the mb1 Odin one click up yet and there's no tar

Of all the theming for Android over the years, my favorite has always been the Froyo version of AOSP. Is there any way to get this on my EVO Lte somehow?? On my old og evo, cyanogen mod 6 was the last that I know of. Is there a theme out there or could someone please create one?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igotlostintampa:
o.o you could always try downloading a CM10.1 rom and using a theme from the play store for CM6 if you can find it, i know there are tons of Cm7-9-10 ones out there. im not sure if a froyo one exists but you could always check out that o.o let me know if you find anything or have already looked.

[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
ICS has the ability to read the /etc/gps.conf file, even though there isn't an actual file included.

I downloaded an app from the Play Store called FasterGPS that did the same thing: it added a gps.conf file.

Although the app just added a single-line in the file, a single NTTP server, rather than the full listing the other patched add.

Worked like a champ for me.

have anybody use it with endomondo? i had problem lose gps in running and cycling.
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
New fix...

Hi everyone...

After many hours of testing... He is my conclusion. The GPS alone can't get a useful signal...

To make this new fix work...

turn off the AGPS*

clear the AGPS data

delete the files (not folder) in /data/gps

reboot to recovery and flash

reboot

open an app like GPS Status and download the AGPS data only from the app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2)

* To turn on/off the AGPS go to localization services and turn on the option that is something like "use wifi and/or mobile data to determine your location"

Don't use AGPS from localization services... You just have to download the AGPS from time to time.

Hope this will be a good fix for everyone... Waiting for feedback

Note: Do a nandroid first... just to be sure :)

I am running CM10.0. I tried the GPS_FIX_WORLD.zip but it didn't work. I had cleared the cache and Dalvic cache.

Now I want to try the latest method posted by the OP, but I can't figure out where /data/gps is located. My file explorers only show SD card data and I can't find such a folder there. Sorry if this is a noob question, but how can I delete the contents of the folder?
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
Use this file explorer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en

in place of aplly lg server I used Lg server Google works Best in Portugal
[LG Optimus Black] therealjcool:
Hi DCOP7,

first off, let me thank you for your efforts, they are much appreciated. I have owned the LG P970 phone ever since it came out, probably was one of the first end-users in Europe to have it (they gave me the P990 first, and exchanged it for the P970 via courier when it became available).

First stock roms have been abysmal so I switched to tantrum's Marvel early on, now running his current Marvel V11. Everything works fine but I have been having issues with GPS for the past year or so. Either I get no lock at all, or I get a lock once, then it loses it and doesnt get it back. I am using Car Navigation Software on a daily basis so this is a rather big deal for me. Sometimes restarting the na vapp (=re-initializing the GPS) would help, but mostly I would have to power down, remove battery and try again. Only then could I get another lock, but it would take 2-3 minutes.

With your latest fix, I get a GPS fix in about 20 seconds, which is great. However, it is losing its lock frequently while driving, about every 10-30 seconds. It then re-engages but as you can imagine, that is not ideal, as the satnav woman keeps repeating her directions after re-engaging... It seems to have to do with the speed your driving at, the faster you go, the more often it happens. A year ago, the GPS lock used to be fine even while doing a steady 220 kph on the Autobahn, so I'm thinking it may be a hardware fault with the GPS. Phone is getting rather old at 3,5 years I'm afraid, so I'm considering swapping it for the new Optimus G.

Do you think it may be beneficial to try any other GPS fix method than your latest one?

Best regards

Josh
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
Yes, I think so. Some reported that the fix present in Mackey ROM give good results. Just try and see how it works. I'm still doing some tests and see how they perform. But it seems that there aren't "the perfect fix"...

Good luck! :)
[LG Optimus Black] therealjcool:
Thanks, will try Mackey Fix and report back. It's "GPS_FIX_WORLD" right? Is "GPS_FIX_EUROPE" also the Mackey fix? Which of the two should I use, if I only need it for Europe? :)
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
Use GPS_FIX_WORLD. Try the other fix if Mackey fix doesn't work :)
[LG Optimus Black] therealjcool:
Experience with GPS_FIX_WORLD / Mackey Fix: Very good.

After clearing AGPS Data, it took about 30-40s for the first fix. After that, fix is almost instant (faster than my Navigon can load).

I just drove 10km along a winding road with 80 - 120 kph and experienced no loss of signal. Seems this is not a hardware fault at all - so for now, I'd recommend the Mackey version of the fix over the LG one to anyone else having issues :)

i had to use this baseband from one of the stock ROMs because the cm10.0's baseband version couldn't show my network available here in Nepal.

and yes, i did wipe out the \data\gps part. I must say that i had followed all your updates step by step with no luck. :(

[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
It could be the baseband... What happens if you flash the baseband from your country?
[LG Optimus Black] WinuxUser:
Actually i haven't tried any basebands for my country because i didn't find any.

The working basebands were that of GB, maybe P970H version which was present when i bought this phone few months back, i dont remember exactly which, and the current one, which i had mentioned earlier.

The problem is, when i uncheck 'Wi-Fi & mobile network location' from Settings>Location access, the GPS keeps blinking stating that its "Searching for GPS" on the notification bar, and on the map screen it states "waiting for location" and then "cannot retrieve current location"

But, when i check 'Wi-Fi & mobile network location', i get tracked to my exact location.

The GPS Test app doesn't lock any statellites as well, as if there's no GPS sensors in my phone.

The Weather indicator at the Lock Screen shows "No data" and when i "Tap to refresh", i end up with "No Data" as well.

[LG Optimus Black] von Mandrake:
You wrote that you're on CM10.0.

CM10.0-based roms, they all have the known GPS issue, where A-GPS doesn't work at all, so your phone is only trying to to get a lock using its internal antenna. I tried these patches myself on CM10.0, and they can't do almost anything. I know, I wrote before that they help, but they don't help that much. It's still not a decent GPS. You can't travel with it, it loses the gps signal easily and takes many minutes to lock again. I wasn't even able to play Ingress with it (I mean, walking on foot).

On CM10.0, usually, on a cold start on a open field, it takes to me at least 4/5 minutes to get a lock. If I'm at a urban area, just forget about it...15 to 30 minutes, or more.

Though, on CM10.1 these patches help a lot. For CM10.0, changing your baseband won't help much either. As long as you have a proper baseband for your country, that's all you need. But it's not going to solve the problem. The problem is the rom itself.
[LG Optimus Black] WinuxUser:
That my friend is a crystal clear answer to my problem. I have tried CM 10.1 on my phone, and it doesn't cope up well with my OB. So i flashed back to 10.0. Guess i will wait for a stable 10.1 to be released. Till then, i will be letting Google track my location and use it as a reference to find myself whenever i get lost.:silly:

Thank you for your reply. That makes me clear about not wasting my time over the internet for this GPS fix.
