[FIX] Updated: GPS Tracking Issues (Optional FIX)

Team,
boodies posted this in the General section and thought it should be here as well, due to its nature.
Props goes out to boodies, Great Find!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728611
I tried this and all GPS and compass issues are now fixed. GPS locks on accurately in just a few seconds.
***This fix may not work if you live outside of USA.***
##You can play with the settings if you want to. If you FUBAR your GPS a simple factory reset will return your setting to default. You can do this without going into recovery buy going to Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset.##
Edit:
***************************************************************
Tested Procedure:
1 - Disable "Use Wireless Networks" - Settings / Location & Security
2 - Dial *#*#1472365#*#*
3 - Under "Application settings" Change "Operation Mode" to MS Based
4 - Under "SUPL/CP Settings" Change the SERVER & PORT to supl.google.com and port 7276 [ Do not use www. in front of supl]
5 - REBOOT
6 - Turn back on the "User Wireless Networks"
********************************************************************
Original settings:
Operation Mode: Standalone
Server: www.spirent-lcs.com
Port: 7275
*****************************
Optional New Fix:
1 - Dial *#*#1472365#*#*
2 - Go outside to get an unimpeded GPS fix.
3 - Choose Delete GPS Data button.
4 - Choose Get Position Test button. Let it run for 3 min or until you have 10 to 12 Sat locks and back out.
Thanks goes to Onlyloki for this method.
Haven't had time to test it thoroughly. You may want to do this in conjunction with the first procedure and then do the optional if the first procedure did not work for you. I did both and my GPS is locking even faster. Let me know what you think...
Just some more info I dug up:
Quote from http://www.vzwdevelopers.com/aims/public/menu/lbs/LBSFAQ.jsp
"In MS-Based mode, the network provides the satellite information to the device, based on a rough estimate of where the device is located, and the device acquires the GPS signals from the satellites and calculates its location. After the initial fix, the device operates like an autonomous GPS receiver, until the satellite information must be refreshed, at which time the device goes back to the network to update the satellite information. MS-Based mode is appropriate for applications that require the device location to be updated rapidly, such as a navigation application. Can the GPS work in autonomous mode? No, the GPS receiver requires the assistance of the network elements to acquire its initial location fix."
With the rapid updating we could see an increased drain on the battery. I have not confirmed that yet. If anyone can let us know.
Edit #2:
I was informed by a sales rep at T-Mobile that Samsung is aware of the issue and is going to fix the GPS and the compass issue in their first update.

Mine seems to be working fine after flashing back to stock firmware.

I wasn't able to get a lock before or after the original fix above. After performing the second fix I was able to get a lock but the phone only picked up 8 satellites.
Any idea if I'll have do the second "fix" every time I want a GPS lock?

I was finally able to get a lock using both procedures, but it couldn't track me if I moved.

Should be pernament 8 sats is ok, good enough. Reboot and test in Google maps, should be set.

reboot phone and go for a car ride. Use g-maps to get lock and the switch to nav app.

Same for me. I flashed the stock rom in the other thread, went outside and had a gps lock at 5m in less than 30 second. It locked at 30m in less than 10 seconds. Before this, the best I had was 30m after a long time and it wouldn't track me in my car hardly at all. I will test further tomorrow on my way to work.

Thanks! This worked great, I'm glad I have working GPS now.

Can anyone post what the settings in Application Settings are supposed to be? I might have changed something in there that makes my GPS off by ~150 yards consistenly...

You can do a factory reset and reset all the settings to stock

Blarg. I am really not in the position to do a factory reset after I just got my phone the way I like it... Anyone else?

I wrote them down before I started...
“Application Settings” change “Operation Mode” to Standalone & “Skyhook” to OFF
“SUPL/CP Settings” change “Server” to www.spirent-lcs.com “ServerPort” to 7275

what about the others under application settings? I think it was one of those.

Samsung GPS fix is coming in September
This is cool :
"Samsung is testing software to optimize GPS on Galaxy S phones. Look for updates in September. Details & download instructions to follow."

Thanks for the info!

This is old info and does not fix tracking issue. It only helps lock times. This is already posted in general 3 or 5 times.

not sure if anyone else has addressed this issue but the AGPS is disabled according to the settings.db file. maybe thats the problem?

An easy way to get your MSL is by using the "getprop" command in ADB or with connectbot using a connection to "localhost". It's the 6 numbers next to the label "ril.MSL".

I see in under the *#INFO*1111# one that there is a setting called :

Confirmed. My default is also "Unknown", try "CDMA only" and toggle airplane mode off/on, then let us know what/if anything happens with TWS.

Do you have to be rooted for the GPS code to work? I keep trying and it just dumps me to the GPS settings I can already access from the normal settings menu.

Missing
*#28346# - Audio Tuning
Has a lot of options including filters, boosters, equalizers and others. Can Mute Bootsounds, keytones, and other systems

Can't say for sure. I've been using it but I'm already rooted. I can say however that it appears that when I can't get a lock, using the reset GPS command fixes that right away - now if I could just get put that in an app I'd be happy.
Thanks so much to the OP for these. I didn't know about the GPS Reset code. I'm going to continue testing to make sure that it indeed is a valid fix.

I'm REALLY new at this so can you explain this in even more dumbed down version?

Dumbed down version, step by step...
Search the market for 'connectbot', and install it.
Once installed, open the program and hit Agree, and Next until you get to the black box with the text bar at the bottom.
On the dropdown box, instead of ssh, choose local, then enter a Nickname (as far as I know, can be anything) and hit enter.
You will then get a command prompt... enter the command 'getprop ril.MSL' (without the quotes), then hit enter. A bunch of information will then be listed.
Scroll up through all the information, until you see [ril.MSL]: [######], where ###### represents the actual MSL code for your phone. (updated info from panthar adding ril.MSL after getprop thanks)
The six numbers that are then listed is your MSL code.

Think before you give this code. This
code is used for factory format. It'll
remove all files and settings including
the internal memory storage. It'll also
reinstall the phone firmware.

This one is my favorite one. This code
can be used to change the "End Call /
Power" button action in your phone.
Be default, if you long press the button,
it shows a screen asking you to select
any option from Silent mode, Airplane
mode and Power off.
You can change this action using this
code. You can enable direct power off
on this button so you don't need to
waste your time in selecting the
option.

This code opens a File copy screen
where you can backup your media files
e.g. Images, Sound, Video and Voice

not working all codes on my SONY XPERIA U except *#*#4636#*#*

Anything to format those damn SIM's? I have an unactivated one with undeletable voicemail (force stopping Phone works only until reboot). Factory Reset from Settings didn't work, not willing to try that again. Only inserted it to get rid of "No SIM Inserted" notification, which is apparently harder to remove. I also remember getting access to more free games with it in for some reason.

Damn !! not even a single crap is working on mah droid razr ... come up with somthing new .thx in advance

Lg rebel 4 secret codes wont work
I have a lg rebel 4. 8.1.0 oreo. The phone carrier is straight talk. I've searched Google up and down and haven't found a single secret code that would work. Does any1 know any that will work? Like the basic androids codes are no good like *#06# IMEI info code doesn't work and is suposed to be universal

[INFO] The Amazing Secret *cough* Codes!

Ever since I had my first cell phone (one of those fancy little bricks by Motorola) I've loved finding ways to "mess around" with the software and hardware. Now that I'm a little bit older, and a little more experienced, I love to manipulate coffee to do exactly what I want.
But who ever said that you couldn't go back to where it all started?!
I scoped out almost all of the manifest files on my LG-H810 last night and was actually disappointed. Either its because I'm not root (no working computer at the moment), or AT&T are just big a-holes. There's barely any "secret Codes" still intact! But I dug deep and have been able to bring you....
Secret Codes of the AT&T LG G4
*#06# - Your typical IMEI code
*#*#244773825625#*#* - Version Info
*#*#5773282#*#* - LPP Data Options (LG-specified options for data use. Possibly something not to mess with unless you know what it all means. If anybody could shed some light on this, that'd be great.)
*#*#14640#*#* - GNSS Air Test (GPS)
*#*#759#*#* - RLZ Debug UI (Device ID, Activation Status, Some Ping Stuff, and few other things. If someone could explain "OEM Mode", I'd appreciate it.)
*#*#2432546#*#* - Google Check-In (Used during setup)
*#*#947322243#*#* - Software Update Service (Exactly what it says)
*#*#7253#*#* - Software Update Service (See above)
*#*#52325929766#*#* - LCD Always On (Just a lonely setting to enable the LCD backlight to always be on.)
*#*#54635564#*#* - Modem Protocol (Used for event logging)
*#*#762646427225#*#* - "Fake Roaming" (Still not 100% sure about this. Maybe used for testing? Anybody?)
*#*#6737#*#* - IOT Menu (Menu for VZW. No AT&T function.)
*#*#1472365#*#* - United Protocol Debug (Some pretty useful info, actually.)
*#*#4636#*#* - "Engineering Mode" (Has some useful stuff. My "Phone Information" is disabled. If anybody else's is enabled, please tell me how!)
These ones were in a XML file I was reading, but nothing seems to happen. Maybe I need root.
*#*#79783684#*#* - Unknown
*#*#46#*#* - Unknown
*#*#7867#*#* - Unknown
NOTE
Thanks to phineous for pointing out that some codes can be dangerous! What YOU do to YOUR phone is on YOU! In no way, shape, or form am I responsible for any damages YOU incur on YOUR phone.
That's all I've got for now! Hopefully more soon. If you have any more, or yours differ (somehow) from mine, let me know!!

Beware of running the software updates, mine did a factory reset after checking for updates.

thanksssss!!! this was very useful, I could check if my version was anti rollback enabled

You're very welcome!
I'm glad it was useful for a couple people. Like I said, I'm still like a little kid when it comes to that. Just wish I had access to a noninfected computer so I could [EDIT] root and get the rest of the codes.
Soon, hopefully. Dang rootkits...

I opened the APK packages as ZIP packages, then read through the AndroidManifest.XML. Then I used an app called Dexplorer that reads the rest of the files in the package. It can be found here.

Tried those last three with root, but I didn't get any special actions / menus either.
And, like you, my "Phone Information" area in Engineering Mode doesn't work (or at least a pop-up claims it doesn't). Even though there's clearly information behind said pop-up.

Have you ever noticed one thing? the secret codes of Oppo Realme 5 Pro are about to hide due to policy. it will be hard to find out but why are you liking to secret codes?
