[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dusty_nz:
Just wondering if anyone has discovered how to speed up the GPS lock time.

I am running shubCRAFT CM6RC2/Froyo/Themed V1.1 and while the GPS works the lock time is upto a few minutes.

In windows I will raise an eyebrow after 10 seconds.

I have seen the posts regarding both the latest libgps.so and updating the GPS file but not sure if thats the issue.

Is the GPS using GPSa?

From what I understand the QuickGPS is a map of satellite locations. The idea is once a single satellite is located then the GPS knows what other ones are in the area instead of blindly looking for all of them its just looks for a few. Still slow to find the first satellite.

GPS-a uses a local cell site to tell the GPS where it is. It can then use the QuickGPS to discover what satellites should be overhead and only looks for those. Nice quick lock times.

Are we using GPS-a?

The fix is not to update your gps.conf file and to use local NTP server settings. Whilst it is ideal to use local time servers this does not impact your phones retrieval of the GPS-A data. The time retrieved from the states is exactly the same as Australia.

UPDATE : The Fix

It looks like there maybe an issues with the way Android on HD2 downloads the GPS-A Data. If you download a Tool from the market place called GPS Status. You can use it to download the GPS-A data manually. BAMM. Fresh GPS locks in 3 seconds versus minutes before hand.

Not sure if this process logs any messages and assume it is a cron job but ideally needs some investigation.

Thanks

this has been covered already

I tried this yesterday and it works great. Change your NTP server to one of the following, if not in the US, look up your country.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dusty_nz:
Have questions.

Why is changing the time server improve the GPS lock speed. Both the existing server and the new server will provide the same results. Only difference is the reponse time in milliseconds?

Also can edit the file however cannot save it. File is read only.

Can you confirm the Text edit and File manager. There are mulitples in the market. Who are the authors?

Hmm. Readonly file system is going to cause an issue. Back to question 1
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] evilmika:
What rom are you using? I'm running mattc leo 1.4

File Manager by Adao Team

Text Edit by Paul Mach

I didn't have a problem saving, others reported issues. Try a different text editor.

As far as lock times, before I couldn't get any lock at all. After applying the update I walked outside, instant lock, tried inside, 3-4 second lock.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dusty_nz:
Thats the difference. I do get a lock but its slow.

I have just queried the north-america.pool.ntp.org server and compared the output to the query from 1.au.pool.ntp.org.

The results are the same. Changing the ntp server won't make a difference.

Now checking if there is some sort of other issue. Noticing dns does not work at console.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bakedbread:
did you fill in 1 of the 4 below?:

server 0.us.pool.ntp.org

server 1.us.pool.ntp.org

server 2.us.pool.ntp.org

server 3.us.pool.ntp.org

You just choose one, for example: "0.us.pool.ntp.org"

Not "north-america.pool.ntp.org"

I had the exact same problem with super slow GPS lock, but i changed the ntp server to point to Canada (since i live in Canada) and my GPS lock was seconds.

I personally think it made a huge difference

**edit

Oh, and i used "Text Edit" and "Linda Manager" to do the changes.

I got the same error saying it was read-only, but it still saved the changes. You need to reboot into Android after you make the changes. After you reboot, just go back in with the File Manager and check if your changes are still there (they should be, even though you get the read-only error)

Then try your GPS lock again.

I use Google maps with Google Navigator and it locked in about 5 seconds.

You can also check your in Android "Settings" - "Location and Secrutiy" to have both "Use Wireless Networks" and "Use GPS Satellites" checked off
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dusty_nz:
Gone further.

Installed a ntp client on the phone and tested both north-america.pool.ntp.org and 1.au.pool.ntp.org and both work and give the same response.

I am in australia so the au one is the pick. Using the shubCRAFT rom and the whole file system is readonly.

Need a windows tool to edit the img files. Any recommendations?

Still confused why the au one os better than the north american one. Both work. They are just time servers.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markmarkr:
If GPS Status actually works to get AGPS going then that's great news. Having more accurate times by using local NTP servers does help lock times slightly, but real, working AGPS is the answer we want, and despite the SIPL setting in gps.conf, it doesn't look like it's working by default on the HD2.

EDIT: It looks like GPS Status grabs the AGPS data on launch for me, so all you need to do is setup Tasker to launch GPS Status whenever GPS is turned on and you should have instant lock. I'll test it out tomorrow when I get outside.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zoth:
It does help in my case, always under 30 seconds lock using MotoNav.

In my experience, if you succesfully lock ones without GPS Status, you should lock on the your GPS quickly again as long as you don't restart your phone. M2C's

(I provided the links so you can check other posts in two similar threads)

new version of gps status downloads sat data directly on app startup. Or you can use quickgps in winmo and download the data and then android will also fix faster. Both software downoload gps sat data valid for 7 days. I think the downloaded data is also input to the gps chip. (not only just downloaded to internal memory/sd card)

I live in Turkey and ntp servers doesn't matter for me. Even us or north-america works fine. apgs data is needed for fast fix. Some people have empty gps.conf file. gpsonxtra lines are needed for downloading sat data.

This is my gps.conf file: (in /system/etc)

NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org

You can change your ntp server to us.pool.ntp.org or north-america.pool.ntp.org or yourcountrycode.pool.ntp.org
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dusty_nz:
I went through the entire process.

Changed the NTP server to a local server. Tested the settings using the NTP client. Checked the download link worked. Data seemed valid.

Still would take over 1-3 minutes to get a lock. A second lock within 1/2 hour was quicker but after a few hours it was slow again.

Using GPS status. Sitting in my car. Powered on the phone. Fireed up Google and bank. 2-3 seconds it had my location.

Really happy.

is downloading the agps data on android boot really worth it, or should i just continue running gps status before i use navigation?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] alantak:
Sadly, I have never gotten compass or quick GPS lock working. I have tried these things as well (changing NTP server, installing GPS Status), several times, on several builds, on 3 different HD2's. Never worked.

On one HD2 I would get a GPS lock after 2-5min. On the other I could not get a lock at all.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totality:
Hi all,

Friend flashed the S to FW 2.1 ver XWJM2. Stock firmware was I9000XXJF3.

Is there any way to use Kies to restore the factory default FW to JF3 and to also restore the modem and CSC parts too? If not, how is it possible to get all these back to JF3? Does the JF3 package on samsung-firmwares contain the extra files? Other firmwares seem to contain only a phone firmware...

I basically want the phone back to how it was from the factory - is this possible at all without using custom FWs from Samsung-Firmwares?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3loaded2010:
All firmwares off samsung-firmwares are official ones created by Samsung themselves, and are not modified. The PDA, Phone and CSC tar files are included inside each .rar archive, so if you grab the JF3 fw, it'll have the JF3 phone and CSC tar files too.

Hope this clarifies things for you ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totality:
OK thanks. As a test I downgraded to JF1 and plugged into Kies. Shows an update is available but the upgrade option is grayed out and it says "The firmware on this device cannot be updated".

I can flash to JF3 if I need to sell it so thats not a problem, but I'm slightly concerned about Kies not working. Does this mean that when 2.2 comes out via Kies it won't update?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3loaded2010:
No, it probably just means that Kies doesn't recognize JF1 as an "official" firmware and so doesn't attempt to upgrade it. Though if you want to stay on the newest firmwares, you'll want to dump Kies anyway. I'd actually recommend the JM2 firmware, it's the latest Eclair firmware and the most stable (JM5 came out today, but I don't know about it).

I don't have exact number for my iP4 because it was sent back. But, I NEVER had upload above 100. Download was usually around 2000.

The 3gs averages ~1500/150.

These numbers are all 3g on att. Sitting at the same location in my office.
[Captivate General] mfriedman79:
I am not sure what bogging down the FTC with complaints is going to do here. I don't recall seeing any advertisements or product notes provided by AT&T stating that the Captivate has HSUPA connectivity. I am pretty sure all they ever advertised was HSDPA 7.2Mbps speeds, so going to the FTC will get no where and will only be thrown out and waste our tax dollars more than they already are. Any speculation on getting HSUPA has always been by 3rd party sites or in comparison to the European Galaxy S. That alone is not enough for the FTC to do anything since AT&T never said anything about us getting the faster upload speeds. I doubt the fact they did it to make the iPhone4 look better would be compelling enough for an investigation from the FTC unless there is some evidence that their exclusivity contract required them to gimp non-Apple phones. But even then its unlikely as they have been doing it for 3 years already and the FTC doesn't seem to care.

So basically if AT&T wants to cripple a device it is their right to do so as the seller and we as a buyer make the decision to purchase as advertised or not.

That said, I fully endorse hammering all of AT&T's customer service portals with complaints and requests for the feature to be enabled. If we don't let them know we aren't happy, nothing will ever get fixed.
