I am at my witts end with this thing. I feel like I have tried everything to get this going, but it does nothing! At one point it seemed like it was maybe going to work. It would lock for awhile and then starts searching again, then locks... Now it will not lock at all. My wife has an Aria. That little sucker locks within 20 seconds with 4m accuracy INSIDE the frigin' house!!! Here is what I have done so far:
- Tried every radio listed in the sticky with their listed Ril...
(I feel like a FLASHING FOOL!)
- Tried Angel Death's North America.zip flash
- Downloaded GPS Status & Toolbox
- Downloaded GPS Fix
- Tried AR-HD 5.22 Rom
- Tried Inspired Ace 1.01 Rom (Current)
What in the H&LL do I need to do to get this dang thing working! I feel like I may be at the point of un-rooting and getting it replaced. I would really prefer not to have to go through that hassle, but if anyone has any insight, I SURE would appreciate it.

Have you tried Angel Death's region specific zip flash yet?...assuming your not in Alaska....because until you have you really haven't tried everything .
What ROM, radio, and RIL are you rolling with? [Edit oh I see your ROM now]
I did not see anything region specific. Maybe I looked at the wrong post.
I am currently using the m2 radio.
I also just looked at my gps.conf file and there is a lot of cap on there. I more than I have ever seen. Maybe it is because of angel death's patch. The this is what I see:

That looks pretty close to what i use to see. Maybe all the stuff I did screwed it up. Is it a good idea or a easy way to get the gps.conf back to stock?
As soon as I get home, I will try reflashing with the east coast.zip and post my results.
My gps has been crap in every Rom and radio I've tried. Maybe its a hardware issue. Then again, if that were the case, it'd prob not work at all. Sometimes it takes me 15 Monroe get a lock in car, sometimes never locks at all.
Don't pull your hair out trying to resolve it. It sounds like you might have a bad handset. I've exchanged 2 phones for defective GPS already.

I just flashed Gingerbeast. Using GPS Status from the market, I finally got a lock, however, the accuracy is only good to about 50m - I was hoping to use this for navigation - I do not think 50m accuracy will be good enough for navigation. Besides, I can not get it to lock using Google Maps/Navigation - Only GPS Status.

I was a bit scared to try it as well, just triple check what you type into terminal before you hit enter and all should be well. I've had to do it 3-4 times and it always works. It's now the first thing I do if I have any gps issues.

40m is the best I can get it to lock down. It must be cablable of locking better than that??? My wife has a completely stock Aria - Lock to about 4-6m in about 20 seconds!
After doing what you suggested - did you install Angel Deaths patch?
I've had to replace my Inspire for gps issues as well. I had to go through the whole unrooting process to send in the old one. My replacement (see refurbished) gps works alright but no where, I mean NO WHERE as good as my wife's aria.
I agree that it's rather aggravating but what can you do? Unroot and get the exchange process started and hopefully you get one that has functioning gps.

Looks like that is what I will have to do. I am currently downloading Roms 4 and 5 to try that - if no change - unroot I guess. Never unrooted before - but it cannot be any harder than getting root I would think.

No, I've never tried Angel Deaths patch. Not that I have anything against it, I just haven't had to. I lock in 5-15 seconds and have 4-6m accuracy, that is with the radio in my sig, when I was using 26.09.04.11_M2 it would take up to a minute to lock and accuracy was in the 15-20m range. That's just my experience though, it's different for everyone.

With A-GPS, I don't think you can turn it off.

Yep, 26 seconds for me using Garmin.
And yes, mine is as fast as the videos. Definitely an improvement over the Diamond, despite the Diamond's speed improvements with recent cooked ROM's.
Amazing what a bit of extra RAM will do...
Great, thanks for the info
Since you're using Garmin
I've always found it's notifications to be quite lower than other GPS s/w even when placing an attention tone prior
Is it any louder on the Raph speakers in comparison with Kaiser?

GPS works fine for me in both Google Maps and TomTom Navigator. Indoors is not so great, but whilst in a car it was fine all the way home on a 30 minute journey!

I'm in my house, my Kaiser right next to it is working fine.
GPS isn't supposed to work indoors... If you need it indoors, you may also need to be living in a psychiatric ward. :\
I got full signal in front of my house according to OCN8's little GPS status bar, for those who care.
As mentioned earlier, QuickGPS will help (hopefully as it has been useless for me since Kaiser WM6.1 ROMs started to be cooked)
BUT
You need to give it time first to aquire GPS fix alone THEN go back to your PC to download the QuickGPS data
To make sure you have everything afterwards successful,
reboot your PDA and see if you can aquire a faster fix.
You can test with GPSTest attached here.
If it didn't solve your problem, check with other fellow Raph holder their Radio versions and yours.
If you are to flash, do not forget to HardSPL your device.
Good luck and give us more feedback

@fireblade63
I'd say the notification volume in Garmin is about the same as it is in the Kaiser, so I agree - it's certainly not the loudest, but I'm someone who likes the Sat-Nav turned down a bit anyway. I hate having the things shouting at me, especially if there are other people in the car who I'm trying to talk to.
My father-in-law, on the other hand, could never cope with the Garmin / Raphael combination because he turns his TomTom XL up to full volume, which drives me mental on the odd occasion I have to experience it!
So, no, the Raphael is no louder as far as I can tell.
Does anyone have the link to the thread or file for fixing the GPS lock issue with the Mes? My GPS will not get a lock at all. I thought there was a flashable CWR file to resolve this. Any help is appreciated.

You might also try using something like GPS Status in the Market to clear your GPS cache (in that program, Tools -> Manage A-GPS state -> Reset). That's worked for me in the past.
I had this issue a while back and what fixed it for me was setting>applications>manage applications>maps>clear data. This is probably the same as using the app mentioned but it worked worked for me. Anyway. FWIW
Tap-a-Talked.
Thanks for the link. Well just tried that fix and still nothing. My Mes doesn't even see one satellite. I am using the GPA Data app for tacking.

Well the first connection to gps satellites takes time (4-5 minutes for me) after that it gets a lot better. I cannot say I got lock in 10 seconds indoor but about 30 outdoors is my average. You also can try GPS Status to reset and download AGPS data...
I thanked you because I accidentally missed the quote button, any way to unthanks?

Well try disabling screen timeout and then waiting for signal for about 10 minutes with screen on, if that doesnt work than rooting is a must
Sometimes its the app that's the problem. Try running GPS status and tools app first that will get a fix faster than a sat nav app.

Sounds like yours is faulty, mine usually locks in a few seconds.
Take it back.

My O3D locks on in about 10 secs and gets the house number within a +/- of 3,
"Flash This file created by me on your recovery to become fast to O3D fix the satellites!"
Sorry to sound n00bish but how do i flash this ?
Btw it takes 5 mins or more to get a fix on sat even in open in a car.
i apply your update zip,after edit etc/gps.conf

I had a problem with the GPS on EF02 and EG22 ROMS in that my GPS would work but would eventually result in a "searching for gps" message at the bottom of the navigator even though my gps was turned on. Today I haven't experienced that problem thanks to the program:
GPS Aids Free - beta (found in Google Market)
Just run the program and allow it to download the proper information regarding your phone...make sure you get passing "green" boxes to show you that each task was completed successfully. Now report back and let me know if this fixed you too.

Wrong section, but regardless; does this fix the problem with only locking on to ~40% of satellites?
Sorry....I just posted this under development because it regarded developer releases.....not sure on how many are used but this seems to fix problem where gps gets into locked state and stops working

XTRA data won't download no matter what I do.
I cant get it to download the LTO or other one data. I have root.

After trying it I can say it doesn't appear to. Still only locking onto 3/7 sats here.

Same here. However the developer mentions that you only need one or the other (LTO or XTRA).
The 4 satellite limitation appears to be a GB leak issue and won't be overcome until official release and source code.

I'm locked in 5 sats today with GPS status..
this actually worked
I'm on the deodexed EG22 leak, rooted and with chris41g's kernel. My GPS was taking a while to get a lock. Things like FourSquare would take a while to "wake up" and realize my location had changed from one place to another. I'd be in City B and when I would go to check-in, it would still think I was in City A.
Anyways, after downloading and running GPS Aids, the GPS gets a fix much faster for me!
not sure if this is a related problem, but ive noticed that my compass reads my direction backwards... ie: east is west, north is south... anyone else encounter this?

Sounds like you need to re-calibrate it.

I have several times. Wave the phone in a figure 8 right?
Sent from my gingerbread epic
tried this, now I have NO gps whatsoever.
How do I set it back, this app broke my gps entirely

This one's been a big help. It's only temporary, but if I run it every day or two my GPS is actually mostly usable.

No.
Settings -> Display -> Horizontal calibration
Since your compass is reversed you may need to do the calibration upside down. In other words, when you push the calibrate button, be holding the phone a level as possible with the screen facing down on the underside of a table or desk.
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!!

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.
