[Q] GPS fix? does this work for sensation

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630 < found that on the main page and i was curious if it would work for the sensation..

unfortunately, no, unless you have s-off with a *working* clockwork mod and recovery
its a script in a zip file that needs to be flashed before android loads

Yes, won't work for now.
Maybe you can use A-GPS injector, I use it, don't know if GPS is really faster to aquire with this app, since for me, the Sensation is really fast to get satellites signal, muuuch faster than my HD2

Not sure what problem you're trying to fix. I just watched the video linked in that post supposedly showing the script working and it's worse than my Sensation works out of the box. It took 29s to lock and the accuracy never got better than 36 ft. I usually get a lock in 10s or less and the accuracy gets down to 9-12 ft.
Can't answer your question about whether it's doable now.

[Q] Gps work too slowly

Hey guys , I've a Nexus S(i9023) - whit CyberGR Hybrid ICS (5), Matrix Kernel (15),
I try gps with sygic navigator, in my house the gps does not locate me, I try it inside my car and it take 20 minutes to search the first satellite, and after 10 minutes it does not locate me. Then I close navigator, and turn off gps.

try this https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5lY2xpcHNpbS5ncHNzdGF0dXMyIl0.

GPS requires a clear view of the sky. This pretty much means the phone needs to be outside or on your windshield to locate you properly. If you are holding it in your hand under your cars roof don't expect too much.

Yes but i've an acer iconia tab a500 wifi(honeycomb 3.2), and with sygic navigator the same un my i9023, i try my tablet while i'm driving and it takes my position in 5 minutes. The problem should be android 4 ics rom? I'm using [ROM][24JAN]CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS v.5 HYBRID+Matr1x 14.5CFS|CM9+AOKP|MODS++|STORMY!!

where are you ?
Code:
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
replace /system/etc/gps.conf with these lines
although it says "north-america" but i am in Spain , and can get lock on within 10 seconds in the street.

10 seconds to get locked on , yeah , really "sucks"

i had the same problem with you.
and i think GPS depends on your current ROM.

Hey guys I'm from Italy, how change gps configuration file? With root explorer or with terminal emulator?

no it really does suck. I flashed that zip, used gps toolbox and still very slow to find a lock where my old evo used to lock on in about 5 seconds, same spots.

Compared to my HD2 2, yes it does really suck.
It gets confused as to which street I'm on, which direction I'm going on the high way when I start it (because GPS locks me on the opposite side).
It's accuracy never goes below 30m or whatever it is, which is wider than many streets.
When driving on the highway I can never get more than 5-6 satellite locks - I can get 8-10 on my HD2 easy.
Plus, first lock always takes a long time - this makes me wonder if AGPS is even working. HD2 had the same problem for a very long time until it was fixed by the work of many hard working developers. After that fix, with AGPS locks to 8 or more satellites were always within a few seconds.
If you compare the GPS signal strengths in GPS Status between Nexus S and HD2, it's obvious the Nexus S has much weaker signal.

HTC Desire S's GPS reciever indoor issue...

I just realized that GPS reciever of desire S is not working when I stay in my room. But Sumsung Galaxy S Advance is working very well in my room. Does anyone know how to improve HTC Desire S's GPS reciever indoor performance ?
See screen capture. I capture while I'm in side my house but It's appear about 400m from my current location and I have been waiting for 5 minutes to get the GPS reciever working.

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442032 it works for me.
i did manage to get a signal immediately right after i installed it from inside my house in front of my pc. Was not able to produce the same result twice(didn't really wait long enuf to test as i dun need gps in my house). But i have to say that this improve my signal lock tremendously.
and i think gps not able to lock on while in a house is not really an issue :cyclops:
cheers

Desire S GPS is precise, but weak, and won't work well indoors.

To test ur gps it should be outdoor in an open field, not inside brick wall. Is like testing ur mobile radio in an elevator and asking why can't i receive any reception inside here
But how is it when you are outdoor? Any improvement on the gps-lock?

GPS generally isn´t recommend for indoors, and it doesnt have sense to use GPS indoors.

Have no problem
I have no problem for outdoor It take just 10 seconds to lock.

WTF are you playing at dude?
Why are you re-opening an old thread (From September last year) in the Dev forum just to ask the same damn question you keep asking in here?
You have been told repeatedly that GPS is NOT designed for indoor use. You have confirmed that your GPS works fine outside. What is your problem? If you are indoors then you surely know where you are - it's not as if GPS is going to help you find the toilet, or find your arse
The Dev forum is for Development - not for pointless questions.

So you mean I'm damn... Ok I'm damn but. Why I can get Samsung Gallaxy S Advances work in door perfectly but not Desire S? What make sense to me is If it work in a house or building is benefit of finding and also can provide us a location where we can find each other easy.... Also maybe you can find my ass also.

Because the Desire S has a weak GPS antenna design. Everybody here knows that - it has been discussed to death. The thread you re-opened states that and the reasons for it, along with a possible hardware fix if you want to try a bit of soldering.

How about you are trying to check in or create new location(accurately) on facebook or google + you have to go outside building for just that reason? It's waste time...

GPS Status App?

I have a ASUS Prime that I am going to try to exchange at BB due to defective GPS. I was wondering does the Infinity have the GPS Status app on it? If so when you are indoors how fast can this App lock on Satellites and give you your Location?
Thanks

That is not a stock app, but it is free in the market. I get an indoor lock in 20-30 seconds most times.

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure if I had downloaded that App on my Prime or it came as Stock. I wanted to show the BB people that there is indeed a Big Problem with GPS on Prime and this App does that.

I am having GPS lock issues. I only see 6 sats on my Infinity, and lock sometimes never happens.
My Samsung SG2 skyrocket sees 20 sats and lock in like 10 seconds....any input?

Only input I have is that I can report that my Razr Maxx usually sees more sats than the tablet sitting right next to it, but I only have lock issues when I am in the office (it is a shielded office, so nuttin works here)

Pictures take forever to load on wifi

I confirmed I have the slow "slow WiFi bug " , I have a 100 Mbps connection but with my nexus 5 I can only get between 15 and 30mbps (on a good day ) , the thing is 15 Mbps should still be good enough , when I load websites , even websites full of images like the www.theverge.com they load almost instantly but instagram , Facebook , klyph take forever to load (at least 35 seconds ) , as soon as I switch to LTE they load instantly is anyone else having a similar issue ?

I'd lean towards this being an issue with your wifi router. Have you tried on another wifi that has a decent connection?

Did you ever find out what the issue was with this one? I seems to have the same problem and be in the exact same scenario as you Chad.
