Hi!

I'm tring to install using CWM, but i'm getting an error message:

the same happens when i try to install ITALY.zip.

I've copied the two files using usb and wifi.

I've CWM 5.0.2.7 and Samsung Galaxy 5 with cyanogenmod 7.2.0
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andrewz182:
just installed the US mid-west zip through CWM (im in texas), as well as the apk in post 2. still no lock, all i get is the annoying loading gray circle below magnetic field.

Hey not bad, thanks for the hard work. First gps fix took 42s, outside, clear skies. My second gps fix took 10s. This was inside my house! Using the Mid-east US .zip, outside Washington, D.C.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Do this: Reboot the phone, then go into GPS Status, then windows key go to tools, then manage a-gps, hit reset, exit out of Gps Status, go to Wifi make sure wifi is on and connected, reboot. Then go back into GPS status and it will download the file automatically, and try again, the longest it can take for the first lock is 3 mins, shortest 20s. If you dont get a lock in 3 mins let me know and I will try something else. Also try North America file as well. If you get a lock try it again after to see how long it takes to re-lock.

Post results.

Florida. T-Mobile HD2 with T-Mobile service. Using posted FloridaOnly gps.conf.

After copying file to system/etc and rebooting I let phone "settle" and run GPS Status.

Cold-fix - 160 sec

Hot fix after that - 10 sec.

Then I went to GPS Status again, reset A-GPS, downloaded A-GPS. Rebooted phone.

Cold fix - 10 sec

Hot fix - 5-7 sec

After work (4-5 hours later) I decided to test it again. No A-GPS download or reset. Rebooted phone.

Cold fix - 200 sec

Hot fix - 5-10 sec.

I do not know much about GPS, but it seems that downloading A-GPS makes a lot of difference SHORT after downloading. After that things get back to "not that great"
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Thanks for trying it out. 2 questions:

When at work for 4-5 hours was the phone plugged in to charge or not? 2) Were you trying 4-5 hours later indoors or out doors?

Also as I said, there seems to be limited time servers in fla. I dont know why, but it was something I found odd. I am working on another script, and I'll work on finding something closer, are you in north fla or south fla? And what rom are you using?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andrewz182:
followed instructions exactly -> no lock after 6 min.

Then I went into tools -> manage a-gps -> download and it picked up a lock within 20 secs. I don't know if it was because I selected to download the assistance GPS data, or if it was just on the verge of receiving my location at that time.

after getting a gps lock, i turned off my wifi, went into google maps to see if it could locate my position. negative.

went back into GPS status, and now I can't get a lock anymore. turned wifi back on, but still couldn't get a lock. downloaded assistance GPS data, and still couldnt get a lock.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
What rom are you using? And try starting gps status again and see what you get, sometimes when its not in use remember that a 60s lock is normal (Not in use meaning a day or two). Understand that Sats dont remain that stationary hence why we are always tracking their location. There are also days when signals can be bad. I remember that me and slbenz had a day out fo 5 days of testing these scripts ran into a day where we had trouble and strange lock times (Longer then our normal udring our tests) so there are many factors, Just never expect that as soon as you run a program its going to lock that second, hell standalones dont even do that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
Is it necessary to do the download on Wi-Fi. What about 3g?

Anyway I did a test walking on road also...i'm still getting around 3 minutes cold start time...I'm doing Gps status reset and download (on 3g though not wi-fi)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andrewz182:
using iamgpc's pure gingerbread rom v1.7

I understand the whole issue with satellites, but the GPS function was so much more stable in winmo. it would consistently work within 10-15 seconds despite me being in the car, at home, etc.

i can no longer get a lock. sigh. i got all excited when it locked that 1st time, and now...nothing. hahaha

btw thanks for all the help and work you put in =D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
As he pointed out and some other users...its not just gps configuration settings, there's something related with drivers also...so it may not be as stable as WinMo until someone fixes GPS libraries in android..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Wifi or 3G doesnt matter how you download it.

See I tested this rom out, for about a day and I never got locks longer then 60s and re-locks in under 30s (Actually the truth is I was getting locks in 7s). It has to be cause your in texas. I am working on another script, and the people that have been having trouble, I'll be PMing you. You will become part of my testing group if your willing.

You, your just a lost cause lol, in boston MA no less, you should be getting the same locks as me, did you change roms yet? let me know when you do on how it works. I'm going to go work on this beta script.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] clyder:
I tested GPS several more times and I get first lock in about a minute. Longest one so far was 87s. That is very good considering than I had a 5-15 min locks before.

Just wanted to say something about old 'trick' in downloading GPS data in WinMo. Lots of people claim that it cant do anything to help and it sounds logical. But in my case while doing that on SD builds I got first lock in 30-60s always...

My first issues when started using android was terrible long lock times. I have tried GPS status, editing gps conf and that made no difference. Only when I read about QuickGPS method in WinMo it started to work nicely. After some time it got worse again and after jumping to WinMo it normalized.

Again I can't claim that it was doing anything, perhaps it was very lucky coincidence, but while I was doing that GPS was working great.

Method from this thread definitely makes a difference, but still is not that good in compare to how it used to be while jumping to WinMo.

If you are using an old rom, flash tytung's gps libs. Then check my sign "faster gps locks" edit your gps.conf. You should now get quicker gps locks.

If you are using an updated rom, it should already have the gps libs inside. If so, then only do the gps.conf editing ;)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
If your a traveler yes.

In the site, Look at EUGPS and then go to the 1.2 folder, there is a brazil 1.2.

You can take the gps.conf file out of the zip and copy it over with root explorer, or adb push the file. I do not know why people are having trouble with the zip files, and some arent. unless it has something to do with the CWM being updated.

But remember that when you copy over the gps.conf file to system/etc, you must REBOOT your phone, or the changes will not take effect.

Again, sorry everyone for the late reply, been updating my business site, and create a new facebook business page, so kinda been slacking.

Also I ask again, anyone that is good with android copy commands working in an APK file, please PM me, I have aproject I need finishing.

Look in the EUGS folder in the 1.2 version its there.

The server was down for routine maintenance, Im sure you all know its up now, 6 month cleaning :)

Yes it should work on the Xoom, just the gps.conf file for your location.

As far as I know Tytungs injector (correct me if I'm wrong) was made for the HD2, I would not suggest using that on anything else.

It should wortk with any phone, but being that you are having locks sometimes could be any number of reason, first and foremost, what rom are you using? Rooted stock, or a custom rom?

The freezing of google maps would not be caused by my gps.conf file, but more so there is an underlying issue. I'll look at the logcat, but try using gps status and see if you have any lockups, and let me know.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Looked at the logcat, the only thing that I saw was that GTalk was denied permission to communicate, other then that everything looks okay. If you have a lockup again with google maps, try uninstalling and re-installing it and see if it does it again.

Hi !

I tried this fix on my optimus black with zeusV3n, and i can't find any satellites.. with a previous fix i used it took alot of time, like more than 8 minutes..

any solution ?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Extract the file gps.conf from the zip file and either use a file manager, or push the file into system/etc and then reboot the device.

I will presume that you used the NorthEast zip file? And did you reboot the device after installing the file? GPS is controlled by the radio of the device, the communication come from there, might want to look to see if there is a new radio available. Also what are you using to test this (App)?

*EDIT* I just looked at that Rom you posted a link to, based on what I read, this is using a CM kernel, also this ROM is a WIP, which has no guarantees. I would suggest as a test a more stable and solid rom to test your issues with, and I have stated before CM roms/kernels do have issues with my file. and being that its a WIP further complicates the trouble.

Did you happen to reboot the device after installing the file? Also I know it must sound possibly obvious, but some protection cases as well as how you hold the device will impact the signal. I would try to remove any casing (Even if its rubber) and start your app (Gps Status, or whatever), and then lay the device flat either on a table outside, or by a window, let me know the result.

I looked at your file, if it works for you, then all the better, But I would say my UK file for the most part is the EU and UK pools combined, and should give you a much more solid find. As for your trouble with the tablet, might I suggest you try what i said to pl4za, but also Let me suggest that you install GPS Status and then run the AGPS tool to see your locks if you are not using that. I know I have read about a tablet I believe that had horrible GPS and it was able to be corrected but setting it down, or having it propped up against something, apparently (Dont remember the tablet) it seems holding the tablet blocks the reception of the GPS. (Was a thread on XDA).

Please let me know how it goes.

Also, I will be looking to see if I can expand on countries that are not part of the list. No Guarantees, but if there is any new locations I can add it, I'll see about adding it to the list, and updating the Main Post to reflect the additions.

Extract the file gps.conf

i tried to copy and paste the file using the CM7 file manager and also script manager but it wont let me paste or move it to the system/etc folder, what file manager would u suggest? probably a silly Q but what do u mean by 'push' the file?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
I use root explorer, also when you say it wont let you copy to it, is it giving you an error that its read only the location? Remember if the file manager is in RO you cant write to it, you have to be in RW for Read/Write.

And push, meaning using adb commands and pushing it to its location from the computer with the phone attached.

Or you can install Droid Explorer and do it that way to by dragging the file to the location.

Hi AngelDeath,

I would like to ask what do I need to do if I have no ClockWorkMod in my phone? I mean I have a HDC X19i A9100 based on MT6573 chip. I do not have any recovery yet and I do not know when will I get. I think this phone is not so popular, so no custom rom, no recovery. Is there any way the upload your gps.conf into my X19i?

Thank you for your answer.

Ahm... Maybe the answer is post above? Should I use root explorer and copy gps.conf file into system/etc manually? Is it enough? Do I need to do anything with META-INF dictionary?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
superindigo,

Yes you can copy the gps.conf file with root explorer, and no you dont need anything else, just make sure that after you copy the file you reboot the phone, since during boot is when the file is read, and if you dont reboot, it uses the file in memory which is the file that was there prior. Meta-inf is only when you flash using CWR.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] superindigo:
Thank you for your answer. It is clear, just copy to given place and reboot.

I read your updater-script located in META-INF dir for CWR. It says delete("/system/etc/gps.conf"). What if my phone does not have existing gps.conf? I mean it is possible that my phone will not use your gps.conf file because it uses another file? I have only this "system\etc\agps_profiles_conf.xml" regarding GPS setting.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Look in the etc folder for any files that have ".conf" at the end, there is another file, if I am right called "secondarygps.conf" or "secgps.conf" if none of these are in your folder, then you rom is very strange, as for the file you mentioned, that would not normally be used for loading the info. If you can extract and zip the file, please attach it as I am curious to see whats in it, but normally the name profile states what settings should be used, or put into the file.

But I would say add mine in because from what I have seen, gps.conf is considered the primary file it looks for, and if not there the secgp.conf or secondarygps.conf is used.
