Download links in the first post are not working. Replacing them with IP address doesn't work either. Can anyone please upload the INDIA zip. Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Links work fine, you cant download them from your phone it seems, only thru a computer. But here so you dont have to go crazy.

I'm using version 2.6.3 tyhpoon nand, radio 2.15.50.14 leo, waited 15 minutes and not picked up the location. File south america. In addition to installing the zip, you have to do anything else to solve?

Can anyone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
I hope that works out. I still believe the key is figuring out, what QuickGPS in WinMO really does and how it is persistent across Android (when booted through Haret). Basically if someone can figure out to do same thing in Android, what quickGPS is doing in WinMo then we're all set. If kernel is lacking AGPS support, then quickGPS shouldn't had matter really...maybe i'm missing something though..i'm no expert :o

I myself went from NAND to SD based build few days back and GPS is back to its wonderful self it once was. I got a lock within in a minute in a area with big buildings in Boston. Also to my surprise I later on checked the gps.conf file (thinking i can change with AngelDeath's one so I can get even faster fix) I found the it was set to europe pool :eek:

BTW for guys looking to move to SD android, do check out JN foundation WinMo Build...Its really under-rated and slimmed WinMo build, almost feels like a boot loader like MAGLDR with really low startup time. It also supports QuickGPS download (over Wi-Fi only though). SD builds also have improved quite a lot, though still not as smooth as NAND but still quite smooth and little high power consumption (2-5mAh idle drain on NAND vs 4-8mAh on SD). I'm using Rafdroid 4.1 BTW.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Where in SA are you?

What are you using to check your gps?

First I think QuickGPS does exactly the same thing as GPS Status, they both download the xtra.bin file, the key is where QuickGPS puts it and where GPS Status puts it.

Second the reason why your GPS worked and you looking at the gps.conf file and showing europe is quickgps already set the gps chip, my guess is that the gps once activated didnt look at the conf file cause it already had the info loaded for your location through QuickGPS.

Third, we'll see, He's the first Dev that actually responded to helping so fingers crossed.

when i update a rom via cwr can i install this gps fix or i must wait the next reboot?

and xtra files must always downloaded right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] boomboomer:
There is so much wrong with the current GPS driver, my son got his Wildfire phone yesterday - to test GPS we turned on GPS Status on both phones at the same time from a cold boot. The Wildfire saw 3 sats almost immediately then locked to 7 within 20 seconds - 15 minutes later my HD2 was still lost and blind...

I think quickGPS is loading some kind of table onto the GPS chip itself, hence the transfer of function into Android. GPS status should do the same thing but can't due to a kernel driver bug?

Sorry took awhile, had to test the time servers out, and was in the process of something else, but here is the file let me know how it works.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aortega:
Hi AngelDeath, probably this was answered before but I was looking around the 40 pages and I didn't see anything. Here is my question:

Is Texas considered Mid-East or Mid-West?, it's on the very middle :), and I guess you have a fix for one of those?, right, Thank you very much
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Texas for now is considered Mid-west, the naming is Mid-West, which covers from the middle part of the US on west, and Mid-East, covers from the middle of the states to the east. But I am going to break this up into six regions soon, just been behind alittle especially since I had the dreaded unresponsive screen issue which I found out why it happens, but its coming.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aortega:
Thank you very much for your quick replay, I'll wait for the final file then to test it, so I can feedback you about it, :):)

I would like to inform that trick works on HyperDroidGBX-v9 2.3.3 with Hyperkernel v 5.0 - fix is now faster and achievable almost everywhere, even in my room. :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] danixquick:
I don´t understand, why on HD2 of Nand-ROM Android when I´m testing GPS there aren´t visible satellites which aren´t fixed, but when the satelites has fixed.:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
The GPS File would not cause the freezing of the screen. I suggest you look at the link in my Sig about unresponsive screen resolved to answer that one.

Blank page is normal, you probably have a popup blocker, or if you are using IE8 its opening a new window and your getting the gold bar on top about the file, suggestion: right click the link and choose open in new tab, that should fix your problem.

Thanks added the rom and updated post #2, will link it when I have time later.

I'm sorry but I did not understand what you were trying to say, please clarify.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] danixquick:
I never see the first picture,but always just picture two.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Picture one to me is searching for Sats, picture two is a lock, the only thing that makes me wonder is the first screen shows 0/4 how it can know that before the lock confuses me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htcvidi:
Danyquix wants to say that under WinMo for example, or under Desire, we see the satellites even if there is not yet lock. Under Hd2 Andoid, we see the sattelites only when a lock has been done.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] danixquick:
Exactly!!!!thanks htcvidi.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] isaiah33:
Great works nice
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htcvidi:
Unfortunately, this problem is known, danixquick.

Perhaps we will have a patch in the future. For now, we have to do with.

Since i use HyperDroid and i've modified my gps.conf, fix is usable (less than 2 minutes, often less than 1 minute) after cold restart.

It's possible to edit the gps.conf file. You can do it without flash and without Magdlr.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
The answer to that question is the agps is not fully working on the HD2 thats why you see 0/0 instead of 0/4.

Thanks for clearing that up htcvidi (aka translator) :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
Mmm, not fully agree on that.

Must be a driver issue since you must see sats first and then get a lock.

My USB Sirf2 connected to my laptop via USB didn't have any AGPS or cell tower stuff and first showed sats and then a lock.

Same happens when you have the HD2 in WinMo and don't have a provider sim inside. It can't get any agps info and you see the sats first.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] paleton:
I got root explorer can someone give step by step directions of process?

Yes you would use Africa, since there is no reliable timer server of either direct or Tier 1 or 2, so there is no way to make one specific.

As of right now, No word, left a PM but no response. And I know if I post a request in the Dev forum requesting help I'll get it either moved to Q&A or get flamed :(

North America might not help you at all. Please tell me the following:

Radio Version

Rom your using.

This way I can see if it might be either of the two that might be giving you the trouble. As far as I see, there is no possible way to make a file specifically for Puerto Rico, but you could try one of the files that is closer to your location and see if that might help, but without the info I asked its hard to narrow down your trouble.

Have you tried the IRC #htc-linux and #htc-linux-chat? I've heard mostly all kernel developers and chefs hang out and share their knowledge there?

Also I don't think you'll be flamed or such for posting a thread there...after all it is related to dev of missing functionality, there have been threads like this before also with WIP for 720p recordings, etc. Besides you have done hard work yourself of developing the GPS.conf scripts which fixes/partially fixes the problem for some people...so you're developing, just post the new 1.1 scripts alongside if someone complains...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
When you install this one, it will overwrite the existing file. If you want you can make a backup of the file with root explorer or whatever you use, but once you install this through CWR it will automatically overwrite the old file.

Well the radio is fine, and for the DFT wow havent used that in a while, but if memory serves me right, it did work fine. Are you testing it out with GPS Status to see or are you using something else to test this?

Might try IRC maybe I can get some headway there, and I guess I can try to post at the dev forum and see how far I get as a volunteer.

Dude I have installed, tested and everything seems to be wondrful and after a few, lets say 2 or 3 hours I have to wait up to 2 minutes again to get a lock, should i have to do something??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Normally no, But understand that sats are not in the same place all the time, due to the earth rotation the sats obviously are not in the same location. This does happen at times, thats why I am trying to see out getting together with a kernel developer to see if a part of a code I found will help putting it into the kernel, But right now there are many factors that can increase the lock time, but 120s is far better then the 5+ mins we normally experience.

O.K., didn't know those times, thank you very much Angel, glad to see you again:)

I just purchased a second native android phone with proper agps support and it is lovely. I would love to see assisted-gps support implemented in hd2 kernel/gps driver.

Here is the difference for

cold start

:

HD2 open air first lock: around 50 seconds

HD2 crowded street/moving first lock: 1-2 minutes

native android phone with agps first lock: 5-10 seconds

native android phone with agps crowded/moving first lock: about 20 seconds

winmo was just like the native android phone (since it had agps working)

Hot start is similar since hd2 has already learned the data from satellites after the first lock and does not need assistance data anymore. Of course hot start only works for some hours to a day at most, then it is cold start all over again.

There is agps enable/disable in the native android phones location & security menu and I am able to see sat info before the actual fix is made (in gps status) Also I saw the hd2 gps time was exactly one second behind other gps phones. And also the gps speedometer was lagging a little behind other phones. Also gps status does not display the message "agps data will be downloaded as soon as there is connection" when there is proper agps support.

Since the HD2 hardware is capable of agps (it used to work perfectly in winmo) the only major thing left for hd2 android is the assisted gps support in kernel/gps driver. I am looking forward to seeing agps work.

running

hyperdroid cm7

radio is latest 2.15.50.14

did i do something wrong
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
There are no working/maintained time servers in Egypt. For Saudie you would have to use Qatar, since Saudie has no accessible time servers either.

Actually thats wrong, not all native android phones have agps support, I have a native stock HTC Inspire, and from what I see it doesnt have agps support, if it does its not noticeable.

I would be interested to know what phone you have, and the rom, because I do have a rom with agps support but not for the HD2.

If you were able to get a lock with prior roms, then I would suspect it to be the rom, very well could be the drivers int hat rom for the gps that is causing you the issue, I would start with the rom thread for a solution.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nixman:
Angel, the thing is that GPS hasn't been working since I switched to Android platform. I tried a lot of roms, but none of them got my gps working. Maybe it has something with the kernel? ...or maybe, the problem is that my phone was originally designed for USA T-Mobile, not for some serbian carriers? I'm just guessing...

Thank you anyway...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Esaj2:
I've now got back my HD2 from the service center. The GPS is now working, but not in Android. :( When I was using WinMo 6.5 with WWE 3.14 and 2.15.50.14, the GPS worked great. Fast lock, TomTom worked well and Google Maps worked fine. Then I decided to get Android again and after I installed everything, I discovered, that I had the same exact issue like prior the repair. The GPS starts looking the signal, if it doesn't find it, nothing bad happens, but when it does find the signal, it causes the phone to freeze. Instantly after the signal is found, it causes instant freeze. Screen stays on, nothing happens. What can cause this? I haven't yet tampered with the gps.conf settings, but I don't even think that it could fix the issue. I'm really going crazy with this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wanahave:
