Thank you for an answer.

As you can see, in 4+ years I have 30 posts. I don't know to develop, and I try to find the answers before I ask.

This time, I red the first 6-7 pages, then I did try to "search this tread" with "interval", "period" and "often" words - no luck.

So I asked.

So I got the answer.

It is nice to know that even though I'll get my nose rubbed, I'll get the answer. :)

Thanks again... (I have clicked "Thanks" button both to Ondoteam and to you)

p.s. - I will try the app, but I can see that people are satisfied with the result. I will report, and donate if it does the job for me... -not to you - to Ondoteam :)

@Ondoteam: can you please update one of the first posts (on first page) so the other people could see this (useful?) info? Thanks.

Update on Root/SU access

Thanks again for this app. Does what it says. :)

GPS Aids has always worked for me in downloading data but, like someone else earlier reported, it doesn't use the root privileges (or even ask) and is not listed in SuperUser...

The only effect this seems to have for me was on the NTP server selection. It always stayed the same whether I selected from the menu or used a user entered address. I was able to change the server with FasterFix (it immediately asked for root access...) and it obviously stayed changed when I went back into GPS Aids. So it seems, for me it, isn't getting root access quit right.

I have an I9000M in Canada and tried on both a Doc ROM and Darky ROM, both JS5. Speedmod 13C kernels.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
Do you have installed the last update?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xtoad:
Yes. I have been following the updates. I have also wiped and flashed a few different roms and reinstalled GPS Aids fresh. I have never had it ask me for SU rights. But it has worked downloading the data every time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] p0peye:
Hi again.

I get "no busybox found. do you want to close the app?" error.

Now - the busybox is instaled. I can see it on market ("installed") and also I tried "Root Checker" - it verified that my phone is both Rooted and the Busybix is installed.

I googled, and this "no busybox found. do you want to close the app?" error referes only to text you offered from code to be translated...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers

Hi !

I am using CM7 2.3.3 on my SGS and I can't find GPS Aids in Android Market. Is the app incompatible with CM7 ? Would it be possible to make it work ? Thx :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kmetek:
it keeps rebooting my phone :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
Sorry for the late... ehmmm you must execute busybox after download it to install it. Must be installed at /system/xbin/busybox || /system/bin/busybox || /sbin/busybox

Sorry, but what is the problem? The forced method don't work for you? SU is not requesting permissions? Maybe both? By the way I'm working on 2.0 version maybe you want to be a BetaTester.

:eek: Your phone reboot doing what? What phone do you have?

FROYO

when i open GPS AIDS there're 3 option i click on FORCE and reboots phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xtoad:
My problem is that SU is not requesting permissions and there fore am unable to change the NTP server. The download modes both work.

Sure, I would like to help Beta Test. I will PM you the requested info. :)

EDIT: The app now has SU permissions. I did the force download method and this time it asked me for the permissions. I was then able to change the NTP easily. I was pretty sure, I had done that before with no success. Anyway, perhaps a way to have GPS Aids ask for the permissions when changing the NTP ONLY?

I can still Beta test, if you think it will be helpful.

Original question: I am not able to install GPS AIDS to my Samsung Galaxy GT-5801 (Android 2.1, not rooted). You asked me to check the folder /data/gps.

I do not know where and how to look for ./folder?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ImraanK:
This totally stuffed up my gps.. wont even work..

Native method something about unable to download data.. switch on/off wifi.. tried many times.. so gave brute method a try... downloaded and installed successfully

Sigh.. looks like i have to reflash...

The first few versions released worked well.. not sure whats up with the newer ones...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
It cannot stuff your gps...it only TRIES to download assisting data in order to TRY to speed up the first satellite lockduring a cold/warm start....

OR....

Your sgs is too delicate to be treated with brute force :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ImraanK:
GPS test plus refused to lock onto any sats... ndrive, maps all suffered the same faith etc..did work before i fired up gps aids.. i know because i was testing lock times...

Anyways busy restoring :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
Now seriously:

I never had gps problems with my sgs, never needed any king of gps aiding or assist or Agps or whatever...

I only reset gps data from time to time......BUT,

These last 2 months I did have some difficulties, meaning that the internal chipset is struggling a bit more, probably due the SOLAR FLARES phenomena:

http://www.ufodigest.com/article/solar-flares-may-disrupt-gps-services-and-communications-satellites

So, don't blame the tool, don't even blame the hand that handles the tool, perhaps this time we can blame the sun :cool: :

http://www.curiosity-news-blog.com/?page_id=700

By the way, I just run some tests, and it seems to be that gps chipsets with the same or better caliber of the good and old sirfstarIII, can handle the solar flares disruptions waay better :cool::cool::cool:

Hello Android phone manufacturers !!! Give us phones equipped with sirfstar

I think I am going to forward this post to Samsung
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
You have got a new eMail. But you can use Astro File Explorer to search into root folders.

First and last version use the same procedure to download using native and forced method. Changes between version, will made to optimize cpu and memory use, add checkers, add features, etc.

At end it cannot hurt your GPS, simply is not possible... but the true is that sometimes something bad happens. Android mess something :) just try to delete the folder "gps" under /data (make a backup first). Then reboot, use GPS Aids, and that is all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Steven_nl:
Hi

After I download xtra data

The programm tells me the lto data is 0 days and 0 hours old. Is that normal? I guess the download is new, but the data itself must be older? Ok dicovered its the age of the download, not of the data. I'm on auto download. So its allways new.

Plz remove the paypal screen from the donate version

Unchecking and re- checking the 'hide splash screen' did the trick

Sorry for this post

Yes it is normal. You can remove the splash screen yourself in the configuration menu. Regards.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
In fact same as LTO file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DocMarc73:
Somehow GPS Status doesn't recognize the extra data or lto data (what's the difference anyway, besides?), means GPS Status shows only 3 bars where the a gps data age is supposed to be shown. Might just be a cosmetic bug, because time to first fix gets accelerated by gps aids ...

Just wondering
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
GPS Status do no check for LTO age and/or if the files has been downloaded. It's only store the age internally when you click download button using the app.

To be honest, I've never seen a more confusing explanation of an application in my life. Anybody without a technical background will have no idea what it does.

What does it really do? And why don't you make it clear in your first post? Does it improve the function and accuracy of the GPS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
I think the main confusing thing is the fact that (imho), Xtra (gps) data and a LTO file are the same thing : assisting data to speed up the first satellite lock during a cold start.

I also don't think that you can inject DATA from ntp servers but only TIME.

All this confusion can be due to the translation from spanish to english which is probably inaccurate...

I can have a look on the original text in Spanish if Onodoteam would not mind.....

Where is it by the way?

Hi I had some time and finished the romanian translation, now installing the app, to see what was that all about, if there are errors or something you can PM me .

PS: BTW, I'm running CM7 latest build and it seems that the app doesnt work, it doesn't downloads LTO / XTRA .
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jasahu:
Dear Developer,

Thank you for this great app.

I have the latest (2.1.037) Donate version, using Forced mode only.

After reading the whole forum I have two questions/feature requests.

1. when I have only Force mode on why it is complaining about GPS being turned off? As far as I learned in Forced mode it only downloads a file and copies it to a folder. If that is true, and the program is in Forced mode only, could you turn off that check for GPS being on? I suppose most people (including me) normally have GPS off.

2. My ideal scenario is:

to have a refreshed LTO file at every reboot

At the moment it seems to me the scenario above needs 'Persistent on reboot' to be on.

But that causes that it remains in memory as a service sometimes taking 6 MBytes

Would it be possible for the program to quit completely from memory after refreshing LTO file?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] silvergold:
It works fine the first time I load it, but after a restart I tried to load it again but XTRA Mode isn't working. Is that normal?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
Thank you very much. It is in the last update. By the way, I was trying to contact Mercury (that is using CM7) to search the problem. As soon as I contact him, and found the error, I'll update the app.

Last version is 2.1.042. When you download the LTO file, it is only a file. So, when you start your GPS after a download it need to read the file a process the data. In order to have all ready when yo do that, the app need the GPS to be ON. But I can add an option to bypass it.

About to close the app, is not possible and if you kill a service android will try to reopen it. The only one thing that I can do is to set the service back to an activity, so it can be killable by the system or you. EDIT: I forgot that currently the service go to activity in minutes :D

Anyway, my service it's taking 2.3 MB only. Ummm....

No, take in mind that you should reboot with WiFi disabled.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PIRATA!:
So no need to get the new app if the old is still doing the same...right?
