The agps_profiles_conf.xml was exactly what I thought it was, based on location of where you are (meaning what cell service you use) it uses the information in this file to connect to download the gps info.

This file is actually somewhat useful to me for seeing about adding information to my existing files, but is does not help into knowing where this information is being stored, meaning file.

Is there a place I can download this rom to look at the whole rom? I am just about convinced there is multiple files like I said before, Ex: gps.conf, secondarygps.conf, but seems its not saved with this name based on the profile.

Or if I cant download the rom, then, can you turn the phone off, and then turn it on and do a logcat of the boot process till you get to the lockscreen or the main screen (Apparently looking at this xml file this is a nokia phone). A program in case you dont know would be like Droid explorer, or something similar. I need to look thru the boot up process and find the file that it uses to load the information for the gps.

Also, I would at least try and see if by putting the gps.conf file in the etc folder and using gps status to see if your gps locks are faster then what you have now. If it is, then all this work would not be needed, if your locks are no better then I would need to look at the mentioned info above.

Another thought just by looking at the xml file:

Look in your data and system folder for anything with the following:

agps.conf

agps_conf.conf

Google.conf

Nokia.conf

Custom.conf

xxxx_spl_xxxx.conf

backup_slp.conf

default_slp.conf

Get back to me.

I did that logcat you told me. I turned phone off than turned it on. After that I clicked LogCat Console in Droid Explorer instantly and saved things into log.log file. Attached you can find my log file.

I can not find any of .conf files above in my System or Data folder. Only next files I have: dbus.conf, dhcpcd.conf, 20-dns.conf, p2p.conf, wpa_supplicant.conf

This is a MT6573 based android phone named s820. But many chineese phone use this chip all around the world.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
According to the log cat this is what I found for the gps to get started:

MtkAgps ( 99): CM: set mtk_agpsd system group attribute OK !

MtkAgps ( 99):

MtkAgps ( 99): agpsd start.. Oct 21 2011 18:11:44

MtkAgps ( 99): agpsd socket_local_server(9)

MtkAgps ( 99): agpsd reg_poll: agpsd(9) max client: 4

MtkAgps ( 99): reg_poll registering fd:9 for polling idx:0

MtkAgps ( 99): agpsd socket_local_server listen (ret:0)

Problem is looking at this it seems either the MTK Manager is controlling the conf file, or its completely web-based as to pull the info off the internet.

I downloaded a rom: MP_MT73_W831_A9100_YINGT+20111126

Is this rom for this phone? I would suggest download GPS Status from market and add my file to the system/etc location, and then run GPS status, if you go to the settings, you should see a option to display lock times on the screen. See what you get, because another thing I noticed is its using CM, or its CM based rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] superindigo:
That ROM you downloaded belongs to another phone based MT6573. I think there is no big differencies between this kind of phones. This is my modified ROM I use.

Anyway. I downloaded GPS Status but I do not know what should I see. This is my screenshot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Thats screen shot shows you are connected to 6 out of 11 sats. if you want to see the time to lock, then tap the menu button, then settings, then display & tools, scroll to the last option show time to gps fix, check it and then back out to the main program.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] superindigo:
I did you suggested to do. First time to catch satellite 58 sec. After that exit, wait couple of minutes and start GPS Status again, it needed only 17 sec to find satellite. Does it says anything to you? Thank you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
58 seconds to first lock and next repeat locks are 17 seconds? You cant ask for anything better then that. That tells me your GPS is working perfectly. Cant ask for anything more then that :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mdfaisal:
hi...

I just want to ask what is the differences between GPS.Conf file and GPS_brcm_conf.xml file ?

because in my GPS_brcm_conf.xml file it written

acSuplServer="lge.glpals.com" SuplPort="7275"

I am affraid it will make conflict because in your gps.conf file use google and 7276

or maybe I should delete the GPS_brcm_conf.xml ?

I am using LG optimus black
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Look in your system/etc folder, is there a gps.conf file located? xml files normally arent used for loading agps information. And if you look actually, I have both 7275 and 7276, 7275 is a secure port, and 7276 is a non-secure port.

And the conf file will not conflict with the xml file. install the file and then use gps status and see how long it takes to lock.

If you look at my conversation with superindigio this falls along the same lines.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Akram-aat,

Sorry for the late reply, but been very busy lately. I would think Asia would be a bad choice for you, I would suggest a narrower location, try Turkey or Iran. Also if you have had this problem, it could also be a hardware issue or a contacts issue. I would do a search and see if this might also be a cause. Also if you have a case for your phone, that also could cause poor signal reception.

Let me know.

Also take into consideration that the Zip file was originally made for the HD2 cwr, I would suggest that you extract the gps.conf file from the zip and manually copy to the location, and then you have to reboot the phone for the new file to take effect.

FJ-vortex GPS not working whit this GSP.conf

Hi AngelDeath ,

I rooted my new FJ-vortex with android 4.03, copied this North-america GPS.conf to /etc/, the original GPS.conf is gone. After reboot, I tried SENSOR and GPS monitor with WIF, GPS on ( Either one or both of them on), external antenna connected, the tablet can not get any satelite ( same as before) and GPS searching light is keeping flash for a hour. Test with GPS test, same-- no satelites can bre found at open place. Any idea to fix it? I am at canada,toronto. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Where do I download the zip file for Singapore?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mengagumkan:
This is great!

Thanks a angeldeath..

On my chinese clone M005 tablet I had only gps data for China so I had cold fix in about 1 min, hot in about 30 sec. Now, after updating gps.conf from here I have almost instantaneous fix in GPS Status. I could not read all 125 pages though so sorry, if I will repeat this in case someone wrote about this before, but I could not follow the method of flashing oceania.zip for Australia as I have no recovery installed yet. So I used different method with success. Here it is:

I simply unzipped the file and copied just the gps.conf to SD card. Then I copied and pasted this file using ROM Toolbox Pro to its proper location, that is /system/etc on the phone. That worked perfectly overwriting the original gps.conf.

I tried the same method on my other tablet, ZTE v9 which is rooted and which has CWR because for some reason I got Status 0 error and could not flush the Oceania.zip file. So I used copy/paste method again as above and that worked perfectly well too giving me almost instantaneous hot fix on both tablets. Thanks again.

Cheers!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
After copying over the file you would need to reboot the phone. Also try using GPS status if your weren't. The only other cause I could think of as to your lengthy wait would be hardware, the GPS chip itself or the wire connecting it to the motherboard. Another thing that crossed my mind is believe it or not the ril and radio not being the same version plays a factor also.

Just some thoughts as to what might be going on.

I done that by this: http://www.modaco.com/topic/336534-solvedanyone-else-suffering-from-bad-gps-performance/ , except I didn't use an "adb remount rw /system/

adb push gps.conf /system/etc/gps.conf", i done everything with "Android commander" as i wrote in the previous comment. But the phone was on. And i read that we cannot do that when it is on, so what should I do? everything was ok before,just a long waiting , but it worked until i changed the gps.conf file.. , now the phone didn't see any GPS and didn't search ANY satellites. I need somehow remount my system? or what? The phone doesnt see a GPS conf file i think, that is why it is not working anymore.

For example if you take your SD card from the phone, and add it again, the memory is refreshed, but the system memory looks like it is not.. Rebooting didn't help. Any ideas?

Thanks :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
The best way I would have done it is to use like root explorer or another file system program and copy the file from your ad card and over written the existing GPS.conf file and then rebooted. Don't normally use adb for file copying. I would suggest if you kept your original file to restore it and then reboot the phone. The file is read at startup, if it doesn't find it, it will write an error and not look for it again till the phone is rebooted.

The problem is that I have lost the original file :/ but today I tried to do that with Root browser, pushed the gps.conf file like was given in this thread, changed permissions, and still it doesn't work. The system also doesn't give any icon on status bar on the top while "searching" for satellites..so it is not doing that.,Does new rom installation could solve that? Any suggestions how to make that gps.conf file visible for the system? :)

I tried to fix, but looks like I've done more harm.. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
If you are not getting the gps icon on the status bar, that means your gps system driver is not working, this has nothing to do with the gps.conf file. Check in settings and then location to make sure that the gps sats is checked off and not just wireless, this would be a cause as to why your not getting the gps icon either. if the gps sat is checked, then you need to look at the rom and the drivers not the gps.conf file.

And a new rom could because if you wipe the phone and install new then whatever was done to stop the gps from turning on will most likely be fixed when the new rom is put in place, double check also in the rom thread to see if the gps is working, some roms (If they are new like JB) may not have the driver for the gps in the rom, so check the simple things first before driving yourself nuts.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mindaugas92:
I have solved this by replacing gps.conf and gps_brcm_conf.xml from one of the original ROM. changed permissions, rebooted, and now it is working. Sadly, there is no improvement when I change the gps.conf with my country settings:

gps.conf -

...

NTP_SERVER=lt.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

...

Gps still takes ages to lock the satellites, if I am standing outside, when there is no obstacles to find a gps signal, and when I am in room near window, ..GPS can't find anything. Just searching and nothing, I tried to do like here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1239713 but no improvements. Then, i came with an idea, that the file gps_brcm_conf.xml do the most important thing,,doesnt it?You can see how it looks in the attachment. Am I right that I should change this, and not the gps.conf? ...And how?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
I looked at the xml file, and thats xml controls your gps chip, by changing that its probably what made the gps turn back on, not the gps.conf, but I have a few questions:

What kind of phone is this?

Was there a gps.conf file in this phone or rom before?

Was there or is there a second .conf file located in system/etc that has gps in it?

What app are you using to check the GPS status?

What country are you in?

What rom are you using? Stock or modified?

LG Optimus 2x.

I don't know exactly. It was original Froyo 2.2.2.

No, just two files.

Ulysse speedometer and GPS status&toolbox

I'm in Lithuania, European country.

Now using [ROM MIUI][ GB ][ | WIUI | ][ 2.10.7 ] - MULTiLanguage | 21+ | but that problem was when the phone had a stock Froyo 2.2.2 also when it has stock Gingerbread.. About 5 or more minutes to fix satellites outside , when the sky is clear. And almost no fix being in room or car. . I started to give such questions when I saw that my friend's Sony Xperia finds about 12 satellites (fix them immediately) being in house and it does that in 10 seconds.. He is not using a 3G or wifi . Just GPS.. Strange differences...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Original Froyo has the gps.conf in the rom and only one, the reason I asked is cause a few pages up a person has a different file then gpf.conf in there thats why I had to ask. GPS status and toolbox is what I use, I would assume you went into the tools reset the agps and then re-downloaded it? The experia is a different phone so you cant base your locks on his phone. Here is what I would suggest if you can:

Backup your current rom so that if this doesnt work you can restore it to its current state, reinstall the stock rom rooted that came with that phone, install gps status and see how long the lock takes. Then the file attached to this post is for your country, just remove the ".zip" from the end of the file, I had to do that to upload it. Use a file explorer and copy this file to the system/etc folder, do not change any permissions, just copy and paste, after reboot the phone, then go into gps status and try to get a signal again, see how long it takes. If it takes a long time, then I would say its a hardware issue, either the gps wire is loose in the phone, or its something with the radio chip since that chips handles the cell signal and the gps signal.

By doing what I said I am trying to eliminate any alterations, especially the the ril driver and radio, a mismatch of these can also cause long delays for gps locking. Also this procedure eliminates the possibility that a custom rom may be the cause or have a mis-match of drivers. I will tell you which I think the first or second post is stated, that in the past (Not sure now) there has been a known issue with MIUI roms and my files, why is unknown, but I cant confirm that for the current MIUI roms.
