SGS tools has a gps fix, it can be found in the forums. It was made by Fr4gg0r. I haven't had gps issues but this could help. As always run at your own risk

As usual, if you have odd issues that other's aren't reporting - try starting over with a reflash. Flashing isn't perfect, so alot of times a re-flash will take care of these issues.

I've had some GPS issues since going to EA11 but i'm gonna try the newer ROM before I do a complete reinstall if needed. Foresquare never gets my location when I hit refresh lately.

When I switched to the eb16 pnp, I went ahead and installed a couple adons like the sgs touchwiz update and navigator apps from uscc(just used to using it). The gps is pinpoint accurate almost instantly unlike in previous the previous roms, and everything is super fast with voodoo

GPS Improvement

This mod seems to greatly improve initial lock and accuracy for many. Basically, what this does is forces AGPS, changes the server to supl.nokia.com which is much more reliable than google, and some other tweaks. Some users report better results by toggling different settings. Give it a try and post your findings, YMMV.
Instructions: (must be rooted, not CWM flashable)
1) Replace or edit your gps.conf file with the attacmment below. Don't forget to back-up your old one.
2) In LBSTestMode change or verify:
>Operation Mode: MS Based
>SUPL/CP Settings: Server:supl.nokia.com, Port:7275, Secure Socket:OFF, AGPS Mode:SUPL
3) Reboot
4) Making sure GPS, wifi (if available), and data are active, fire up GPS Test or Maps.
Code:
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
DEBUG_LEVEL = 3
INTERMEDIATE_POS=1
ACCURACY_THRES=5000
SUPL_HOST=supl.nokia.com
SUPL_PORT=7275
CURRENT_CARRIER=common
DEFAULT_AGPS_ENABLE=TRUE
DEFAULT_SSL_ENABLE=FALSE
DEFAULT_USER_PLANE=TRUE
This was compiled from various sources around the web and I accept no credit or liability. (Thanks are OK!)

Interesting. My GPS has been wonky until my recent factory reset.

I have been getting almost instant locks with 11-12 satellites visible! Before it would take several minutes to get an initial lock.

You mean with this new zip file?

Yes, just extract and push to your phone or use root explorer. Always a good idea to backup your current file.

i never tried the nokia server but it makes total sense. nokia holds many of the patents that gps uses, seems they'd have a good supl server. also secgps.conf on my phone was set to ms based. first things i did was change it to standalone and tested it, good result not having 2 configurations, then i tried ms based for lbs and secgps.conf and it works amazingly well, maps always performs funky if the secgps.conf and lbs settings dont match, could be the "gps issues" people report on many phones. ill have to try the nokia server now. should try that on the captivate as well.

Any idea on how to access LBSTestMode on the Infuse?
The Shortcut or the keypad method appear not to be working.
Thank you in advance.

If you are using LauncherPro, another cool way is long press on blank spot on home screen>shortcuts>activities>LbsTestMode>first option>ok.

Wow, this is much better

Do I need the zip file or can I just configure the server.

Make sure packet data is enabled.

My market place applications are now partially disappearing...
May I please ask a kind soul to post the default values for the gps test app? I want to see it reentering them would save me from having to wipe and restart.
Thank you in advance.

It's been available since 7:30... go grab it. As stated above... first thing I noticed was the change to the boot animation

Just downloaded and installed the ota update in South Carolina.

Says I have an update but keep getting "Server unavailable" when I try and install it.

READ THIS POST IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN THIS OTA YET! Sense 2.1 I would think. Has anyone captured this OTA? Please run adb logcat before accepting an ota update if you haven't gotten it yet so the devs can capture it. PM me if you need more info on how to do this.

I give this till the morning before I do it, if I don't hear anything bad by then I may give it a go. Don't wanna risk anything like MR1.

Gotta be rooted to do this? I don't mind if someone tells me how.
Edit. I tries to quote the log cat request

Updated and added the 30/mo hotspot feature to my plan. No issues yet.

i haven't tried dialer codes yet but the GPS app Is now called angry GPS. it can be launched with launcher pro activities. will see what the dialer code is soon. otherwise I'd imagine the Nokia server and msbased mode will still help, putting those in the gps.conf would probably still help.
ok after having major issues with my gps i got something that works. for some reason i cant seem to turn off secure socket without issues but it turns out supl.nokia.com works just fin with secure socket set.
i started with jz3's gps.conf and removed the last two lines then put it in /system/ect
angry gps is accessed by the same dialercode as lbs test mode, *#*#3214789650#*#* if you dont know
i set it to msbased operation mode
it is set to hot start
gps logging off
supl server set to supl.nokia.com
supl secure socket is on
agps mode is set to control plane
now im getting 7 meter locks indoors. my second lock was to 35 meters and i got it in 9 seconds also indoors.

+1 to this fixing my gps that was basically non-functional. I was trying nokia but with ss turned off. I guess google wants to make sure that they're the only one's who are tracking your location.

I will try this too....gps has been working fine since dloading gps fix from the market and clearing gps state bit hey....if i can make it even better i am all for it

[Q] slow 3g

i was wondering does anyone experience slow 3g that is all that i have at my house and my average dl speeds are between 70 kbps to 110i kbps and my up is like 30 to 50 kbps second kind of thought this was pretty crappy i am running humble 5.0 my 4g when in one is like 18 to 20 down and 6 to 8 up so 4g is amazing but it is not with my city about 15 miles to nearest 4g area any suggestions??

Wow like 70 views and really responses awesome
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

Mine comes and goes. Sometimes it will get to 2mbs down and other times it might be .6 down... I didn't put it on with the new modems, but on previous ROMS with past modems, I would run the 3g turbocharger by zeppelinrox and it made a BIG difference.. about twice as fast and a ping under 100

Don't really know how to run scripts or adb my pink is like 2 to 3 hundred what the risks running this script?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

Id say its low risk. He has built in where you can undo the changes. Its easy... just put the script on your sd card > load in script manager (free in market) > run as root > then follow the directions that pop up. There are different settings to try. The "fast" setting worked best for me. His post has very good directions and it was the 1st time doing anything like that for me and it went without a hitch... I hope it works well for you!

So I am assuming you just put the. Txt file in the root of SD card correct
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

Doesn't have to be. I keep all that stuff right on the main part of the sd. I forgot to mention that it says to use busybox 1.182 (I think) or lower. You can get the busybox installer from the market - by jrummy is the one I used. Im reciting this all from memory so I would def. read the post first. Good luck
