I know that HD2 doesn't have AGPS support yet, but it has another "big" issue. I saw that he doesn't provide information about satellites and NMEA protocol before fix, but other Android phone does. You can try for example GPS Status. If you run it, it show nothing before fix. It is important, because I can't decide if I have any chance to get fix according count of satelites and its signal. On other phone this works.

It's known problem? It is problem in kernel or gpslib.so?

Checking the NTP Server Pool, it looks like the closest are Switzerland and Austria for your country. Unfortunately, there aren't any server pools available in your country that I can find. So try the adjacent countries, one of them should work or add both for additional coverage.

Wow!!! I actually left CM7 to go back to a ROM based on a native build for my phone due to GPS quality while on CM7. Someone told me about this so I gave it a try with CM7 and was blown away with the results. Now getting locks indoors within a few seconds and almost instantaneously outdoors. VERY IMPRESSED!!!

However I have a question... am I correct to believe that these do not overwrite each other, but can actually work in conjunction. So if I want coverage for the whole US east coast, I can load USA SE & USA NE?

8JP93993UL5561448: I know it's not much, but wanted to show some appreciation!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
No actually they do over-write each other, there is only one file that controls this, so as its been said in thread before, if you travel out of your region you would then have to flash the region your going to. You could keep the one you flashed, but you may experience longer lock times.

But I am working on a solution for this with the help of another member of XDA.

Also, Little by little this is being tried on other native android phones, just got a msg that this is working on a Captivate with the same results.

And thank you, will add your name to the list.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] inneyeseakay:
Thanks... I will flash to my Bro-In-Law's CM7 Captivate and share results... his GPS is currently garbage (as with most SGS phones)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dnorthington:
Two questions:

1) Are there any negative implications to flashing this? Can it make my GPS worse?

2) If I flash a new custom ROM, will I need to reflash the zip each time?

I am on an SGS Captivate running CM7.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
To your first question, I would say no. My experience has only been positive when I changed my gps.conf file for my area. Lock times are much better than the stock file found in many of the ROMs. Only if you relocate to a different part of the country like I did recently to a Hawaii vacation, will you need to flash another file or you will experience long lock times with your native gps.conf file for your area.

On your second question, yes, every time that I have flashed a custom ROM, it will overwrite the gps.conf file previously. What I do is to save the gps.conf file that I works well in my area onto my computer, use DroidExplorer and overwrite the gps.conf file that is associated with the custom ROM that I am about to flash. With DroidExplorer, you can overwrite the custom ROM's gps.conf file before or after you flash it onto your phone.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zupp34:
1. It is a possibility since this fix is meant for the HD2 and your phone is an SGS. But even if that happens it might just be a ROM corruption that could be fixed with a re-installation of the ROM.

2. Yes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
This file (1.0, 1.1, 1.2) has been in testing and was primarily meant for the HD2, but due to the fact that All android phones use the same file for assistance, I have been testing this file in the Aria Forums, and the Inspire 4G Forums (Which is the same as the desire hd for the most part), and the results have been better then I even expected. And now its being tested on the Samsung Captivate, and its seeing the same results. So in short, yes it could make it worse, but the likely hood that it will based on what I am seeing is about 30%.

Also if for whatever reason the 1.2 doesnt work well for you (Some roms it doesnt) the 1.1 seems to be a solid alternative.

I am currently looking at a few things and I might be making some changes and updating the 1.2 to 1.21 (versioning because it would be a minor update). But as of right now its still in its very early alpha testing stages and alot of comparing I have to do, plus I am working on two other projects, which one of them I should be done with by tonight.

Which version did you use? I used 1.2 and can't even see any satellites,going to try 1.1
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] camokatu:
Ok, realized that there are no zips for 1.1, so I reflashed CM 7.0.3, ran the script and everything works! It took abut 5-6 minutes to get a fix and I got 10 satellites - never gotten that many before. After intitial fix all following are taking max 10 seconds.

I am running CM 7.0.3 in Inspire HTC 4G.

Thanks for this guys, you rock!

Do you only run the fix apk once? And once it says fixed I can get rid of it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
This was already answered, if you an HD2 user, then it would be best to keep it, to run it once a week to download that xtra.bin file. Non-HD2 users do not need this since you have native agps support.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Focustom:
Ok cool thank you. It's hard to read through 80+ pages for a single answer lol. Also I tried the south east zip and it's taking for ever. I'm in Florida. I'm going to flash the FLorida one and see but what does this do with each flash? What happens if it gets worse?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
The likelyhood of it getting worse are slim to none, one of the reason its stated to make a backup of the file before flashing. If the 1.2 files give you trouble, try the 1.1, I am noticing a small pattern develop and want to see if my thoughts might be right, let me know.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Focustom:

Help Angel Death!

Hey I need ur help urgent!

I downloaded the international zip (i guess its the version 1.0) and it's not working:( Im still having this issue that my gps doesnt give me my exact position, so whenever i try using a gps software to guide me when im driving, it just gives me the route, it doenst give me directions on the go. I downloaded GPS test, and it shows the signal is not that strong =S I only get orange and yellow bars, and b4 installing ur zip i got mostly yellow bars and once in a while a green one. I have an HTC Inspire, but I dont think the signal is a problem, since I had an HD2 b4, with Garmin on it, and it worked perfectly. How can I fix this, how can I improve the signal on my phone? Or is it sthg wrong with the gps antena on the inspire?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
This could be any number of reasons, what I would suggest is to try either the 1.1 or the 1.2, this file doesnt improve your signal strength, that is the phone, all my file does it makes it lock faster, if your signal is not that strong, then it could be the phone, or the rom your using, without using my file it would make your lock times longer but you would eventually get a lock, my file speeds the time up. Also I have noticed that people using roms CM7's seem to have the biggest issue.

Question is will ROm affect correct location? My phone locks on fine but the location is always at my next door neighbors address. I can use compass, gps status, google maps. It always list their address. Using the gpc rom. So its off by 20 feet or so ( I know big deal)

Think I remember that I was on a different rom and it got the correct address although I'm not sure now. Just curious

Question

Thank you, my phone gets 1st lock in 22 seconds, motorola defy running cm7 beta 6.

I was wondering what happens if one wants to roll up this update..? is there any way to remove it without restoring a nandroid backup?

I guess that I'm asking that because of my next question:

what happens now if I take my phone to a different country? Will it get a lock at all? slower than it was before upgrading?

Thank you for your work! sorry if I'm asking questions that have been asked before, this thread is a bit long :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
One of the things I have said is to back up your current file in case of anything. And as for traveling out of the country, it will still work, but your lock times will be longer, depending on where you go I would suggest taking that zip with you. I am in the process of trying to make it easier, but not having very much success.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
In regards to just removing/editing the gps.conf file only, I use DroidExplorer. That way I change out the gps.conf file only without having to completely change out the ROM. Also, using one of AngelDeath's zip files will overwrite the gps.conf file without affecting the rest of your ROM. Just carry both your home and the country you will be visiting zip files with you. Makes it easier for your second question. As AngelDeath has commented, I would bring the zip file of the country you plan to visit with you. Locks times will definitely be longer if you use the gps.conf file for your home area. Even for me, when I went on a recent vacation to Hawaii, I used the Hawaii zip file to obtain a quick lock. Much faster than the optimized file I use for where I live in Silicon Valley.

Hello, I'm using cyanogenmod7 for Motorola Defy, and the GPS won't get my location. How can I test it, to see what's wrong?

I've installed the zip for my country, but still won't work :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Is this for the HD2 or another phone? Since it seems my files are spreading to many other phones I have to ask. Also as I said before, it seems that CM7's are having more of the gps issues then others. If you not getting any locks at all with or without my file, then it could be the rom, or gps chip, there are many things. You could back up your rom and try a non-cm7 and see if you have the same results, if you do, then there could be a more underlying problem, if a non-cm7 rom works, then I would have to say it could be the rom.

Hi. I'm a newbie with this gps thing, and surely I ended up with the gps not working at all. As I don't use CWR, I just overwrote the file gps.conf in the system folder. There're other files in the archive as well, but I haven't done anything with them. Should I? I also downloaded GPSfix-0.1.apk and installed it, it showed me that it is set. Unfortunately, my phone (hd2) wouldn't find gps signal even after 4-5 minutes in the open air - before it did it for a minute or two. So how can I, if not install this fix properly, at least return it to its previous state?
