[FIX] GPS fix for devices WITHOUT HiddenMenu

After a lot of fiddling, I've found a fairly easy way of fixing the GPS on this device. gps.conf has two lines of code which make a lock nearly impossible. Anyways, here's the fix. Use root explorer to navigate to /etc and find "gps.conf". Mount as r/w, and long press gps.conf. Select "Open in text editor". Scroll down to
# For SUPL SUPPORT, set the following SUPL_HOST=lbs.geo.t-mobile.com SUPL_PORT=7275
Change
lbs.geo.t-mobile.com
to
supl.google.com
and change
SUPL_PORT=7275
to
SUPL_PORT=7276
Hit the back button, this will save the changes and create a backup of gps.conf which will be named gps.conf.bak . Restart the phone, and use the free GPS TEST app from the market to test the gps. You SHOULD be getting a lock within 5-10 seconds.
Enjoy your fixed gps!

didn't work for me

Worked! instant lock thank you thank you!

Didn't work for me... I'm on the latest CM7 nightly. I'll give it a try on the stock ROM.

Yeah, this was mostly geared towards Cyanogen, I didn't expect this to work with Miui, its totally different. I'm glad you fixed your issue though

using cm7 nightly (build#107) after editing settings to your specifications i get an error message when i attempt to save...and if i save it anyway it defaults back to original settings

No Problem, but I suggest you update to latest nightlies (they're much better), and then redo this fix.

I would but whenever I install a nightly over another, there are always little problems and the battery life seems worse. (Yes, I did do a fix permissions.) So I have to do a full wipe whenever I install which is a bit of a PITA. (Apps, settings, themes, layout, etc).

Anyone have any suggestions if this doesn't work? I run CM7 RC1 and have done this fix but still rarely get a fix and when it does work it takes 15 minutes. I also had the problem on stock. It doesn't seem like hardware though because using GPS Status, I can see that I get a lock on 6 satellites or more, but it just won't lock on a location. It should after at least 4, so there seems to be an underlying software issue that carried over from stock to CM.

YUP!

I was about to post almost exactly the same thing. The only difference is I stuck the same port 7275, but changed over to the supl.google.com server. I think 7276 is not encrypted.
In the past I was not able to get a GPS sync from my balcony, but with the Google SUPL server, I got a sync in about 30s.
I'm in Canada and it makes sense. When I was down in the US, my sync was a lot faster off the T-mobile servers, but I think Google servers covers worldwide.

That port didn't work for some reason. I'm also in Canada. I assume you have a de-branded "o2x" from Wind Mobile? Yeah, google's servers cover quite a bit more.

Yup using the wind debranded g2x.

Slow GPS?

Hi everyone,
I am using the Desire HD and since I got it the GPS has been really slow. I've finally found out the problem.......If I go to GPS.config the first line reads
NTP_SERVER=asia.pool.ntp.org
I'm not sure why my phone thinks its in asia but it does.
Anyway, is there any way I can change this without rooting the phone?
Thanks

Copy the gps.conf to SD.
Modify the gps.conf to another NTP server. (You can search for the list of time servers on Google and find some. The NTP ones are good. )
Remount system as read/write and replace the original gps.conf with the edited one.
Alternatively, use fasterfix from the market to modify the time server.
Nonetheless, different time servers wouldn't make that much of a huge difference(max one minute or so.) regardless of the region you chose.

[Q] Solution for GPS Issues in Galaxy S 4G?

Hi,
Has anyone been able to successfully solve the GPS issue on GS4G? I was able to get into lbstest mode when on Froyo and was able to get a lock in about 2 minutes, but since the time I have upgraded to 2.3.6 official, there has been not one instance where I have been able to get a lock by opening up Gogle maps(not even after like 20 minutes!).
I have tried the app GPS Status &Toolbox which seems to be the only thing that was able to give me a lock but it takes about 15 minutes for the first lock.
Has anybody been able to find a suitable solution to fix the GPS issue on GS4G? If so please share, I am sure it will be extremely helpful to countless users like me!
PS: I really do not want to install a new ROM or anything but want to know if there are ways of fixing the GPS issues with on the stock 2.3.6.
BTW, I have root access.
Please help.
Thanks,
Rakshith

If you are rooted, you can dl super manager from the market. Open in and go to the apk manager. Find the lbstestmode.apk, click on activities and then in the first description, click the "create short cut" and it will place a shortcut on your home screen. Then open the shortcut navigate to supl settings and change the server to supl.google.com. Oh, and don't forget to rip lbstestmode.apk out of an old ROM before you do this...

I tried the GPS Aids app but was not of any use. Also, regarding other threads, I was unable to find a concrete solution to this issue, that's why I thought I would put up a new thread.
Is there anything other than GPS Aids that I can try?

Hmm, I don't know. Did you find the thread regarding wiping out a couple of xml files? I'd link you but cannot sesrch @ the moment.
Also GPS Aids has a hard reset function thst might help. Fair warning - it will completely reset your phone so you will lose data, appd, and settings. Make a backup first!

AngryGPS
-Download and Install angrygps on your phone from above
-Create shortcut on homescreen (add > shortcut > activities > angrygps> ...angrygps)
-Run and click tracking test
-Let it run till the accuracy gets under 10m (it will get multiple satelite lockons)
-Your GPS should now lock fairly quickly from now on
This was taken from this thread BUT the CWM flashable zip never worked for me, so i just stripped AngryGPS out and installed it manually. The file at the top link is the AngryGPS.apk that i stripped from the CWM zip.
Let me know how it goes..
EDIT: Supposedly this program used to be included in certain roms, so you may already have it. I think it should be included simply because it seems to work for people to get their GPS going AND its only 106kb, so I don't think people would mind the extra room it takes up

Download Valhalla Black Final. Raver's got a custom GPS driver in it. Trust me, it works well. haven't had issues with GPS since I've used it.

He told me a few months ago when he made it that the GPS would lock in seconds. I didn't believe him at ALL (the default GPS driver on our phone is pretty crappy) then I finally got around to testing it and I couldn't believe how fast it locked. =|. Haven't really used others' ROMs in a while so I forget that the default GPS is pretty damn crappy.

Just wanted to mention that the GPS is working extremely well for me also since migrating to Valhalla Black...and that's after trying many apps, patches and hair pulling since getting the SGS4G a year ago.
Kudos to the crew for their most excellent dev work, keep it up!

GPS works fine for me on octane 3.0.
Of course I never had GPS problems even when completely stock.

There are many threads out there on how to pull and push apps from other ROMs, just search for them. Yes this did fix the issue. When you are in lbstestmode, hit the get position test button and let the phone set for a few minutes. After that, you shouldn't have much wait time to get a lock.

Aside from this, here's another way of using AngryGPS. This will install the system app with an app menu icon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15721652&postcount=13
This has the same file, just not modded.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15695743&postcount=6288
In both cases a phone reboot is ideal, though not really necessary with the modded one. Both work the same and didn't require anything else outside of stock.
There are a lot of threads on this subject for many of the Galaxy S models by Samsung, and each model varies. The system application to test and change settings on the SGS4G (and probably the Vibrant) changes between stock Froyo and stock Gingerbread.
On Froyo (VUVKB5), the application, called LbsTestMode, is ready and easy to access with the Samsung system code: *#*#3214789650#*#*
On the 3 Gingerbread (VUVKJ6) phones I tested, the same code, along with trying out a few others didn't bring up anything. So I installed the AngryGPS (new name in 2.3) files linked above, allowing me to use the system code (or app menu if you installed the mod version) to access it.
You can also look at this simple hardware fix too:

And if it does, what has worked out as the best way to configure it? I had it working when I was on build 40, but it would always revert to it's old behavior of not locking if I rebooted or turned off GPS or even exited AngryGPS.

[APP]Weather locations manager for Sense (add custom cities)

Hi all,
As a practice project for Android developing I created an app that enables you to add custom locations to the sense weather application. I think some of you noticed that the weather app supports adding only a few cities, mostly the larger cities of a particular state/province. This is because the htc app makes use of a static database that has only around 3600 locations world-wide. This app can add almost any city to that database.
This could be done already, but the method was quite time-consuming and error-prone.
With this app, you just have to search for your city, optionally edit the pre-filled fields for name, state and country and you can add it to the htc weather database. The correct weather code is obtained from the web, for both US and non-US cities. The correct timezone is selected from the database, sometimes you have a choice there as well. Also, the weather application of htc is restarted after adding, so the change is immediately visible.
The app needs root access and an internet connection to work, and you should have htc sense with the weather app installed. I tested it only on Sensation (with sense 3.6) but it should work for sense 2.x up on any htc device.
Enjoy!
-Gödel
Update (19-4-13): New version. It should work on most ROMs now, it doesn't rely on the command line that much.
Update (31-7-12): New version. It checks the hostfile now, and removes the accuweather host from it if necessary. Works great with AdFree and AdAway. Also, to better work with the clock application in sense 4, the geographic position of a city is added to the database. It will search for the coordinates automatically, but you can also manually add them. Enjoy!
Update (16-7-12): Problem occurs on devices having an addblocker that changes the host file (/etc/hosts) installed, like AdAway or AdFree. They add the line "127.0.0.1 netweather.accuweather.com" to /etc/hosts, removing that line or changing back to stock host file solves the issue. See this post for more details.
Update: There seems to be a problem with the server the app connects to, it is not accessible from some (many?) countries or phones. I haven't found a solution yet.
Please try this link with your internet connection (so wifi or mobile), if you get a xml file back, this app should work. If it doesn't, but you can access the site above, please let me know.
Please let me know if it works as well, as well as your country, so I can try to figure out what's going on.
Update (7-7-12): You now have the possibility to manually add a city through its location code.

Dont work
Installed on my Sensation running PkMn 4.5 ROM.
SuperSU never registrate the app, so i set SuperSU promt to "Grant".
Searched for my city here in Denmark "Klarup" but it didn't find anything. I then searched for "Copenhagen" but it didn't finde that either.
Turned WiFi on but the app dont finde any city at all :-(

I install the app but it cant find any city.
I have root access and I also make a restart. Is something more that I have to do?

I can find and add Klarup, Denmark with the app. You got to have a working internet connection to search for cities.
To both jkolner and l_themis, does it say "no location found" or does it say nothing at all?

Same for me, "No location found" with open wifi

It seems like it just does not make the connection it should.
When I have time, I'll add more connection error handling to distinguish between not finding a city and a connection problem.
That doesn't solve the problem though, its weird. Can you verify that under app-info in your system settings, this app has full internet access?

It has full internet access and Wifi is connected.

Please try the new version, included in the OP. I simplified the search part a bit using a different http request, maybe it works in this way.
I will try to make some more improvements sometime soon, this was what I could do right now.

Didn't work with the new one either.

It seems like an encoding issue, I forgot to encode the location properly in the new version and got the errors myself. I updated the application once again.
However, this will probably fix nothing for you guys, I will look at it in more detail sometime soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No problem my friend, take your time. For me is something very useful so it will be perfect if it finally works!

This looks good. Is there anyway to get the sense weather lock screen to change from current to a different city?

Tried new version can not find any cities.even London, bristol, paris

It has worked perfectly here though, up to now (even tried it on a desire HD yesterday). Is this site accessable from your place?

I also get network error (israel)
I cant access the site you gave above

Well, so much for a solution then. Apparently the site above is not accessable for some countries. The search for cities uses it.
So at least it works in the Netherlands, and I think it will work in the US as well.
I still find it rather strange, it must be some legal issue.
In any case, I could not foresee this problem.
A solution would be to setup a forward portal, but that's a little much. I'll try to look for some trick to access that site.

I would suggest the Google No-SSL 3.1: http://derekgordon.com/gps-files/agps.patch.google.build.nossl.v3.1.zip.
However, for the other Prime series devices I further modified data to work properly. There should be an XML file in /etc/gps/ which would require some tweaking for optimal performance if the 300 works like the 100, 200, and 700 series Transformers.

Well, could you download the ZIP and just extract the \system\etc\gps.conf file to your /system/etc path?
My 3.x branch has a large gps.conf that I don't want to paste. I don't want to have to try and trim it down just to drop here for a quick paste.
The reason being is that I actually took the time to describe for people what variables or variable sets actually do. This, too, was ripped by others who claimed to provide detailed instructions on the GPS configuration and how to tweak it.
I swear, XDA has become a ripping and no credits **** realm. But, I still like XDA for the most part....

You have Wifi connected I assume. Further, I assume permissions are fine.
I think two Notes apply to you out of my extensive catalog of FAQ.
First, clear Cache and Dalvik Cache. Conflicts can occur when switching to this branch at first.
Second, "Location is way off? Like, not near you at all? This means your GPS is not actually being used. Try the following to resolve it: Goto Settings -> Locations and disable ALL options. Reboot into recovery. Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache. Reboot normally. Go back to Settings -> Locations and only enable GPS. Reboot once more and try your GPS again."
I'd like to get ahold of the XML file in /etc/gps/ if you want to work with me to get a fully customized patch made rather than the quick markup of just the .conf.

Which permissions does it use to have?
Rebooting now needs a bit cause of wiping cash 160 apps to optimise
GPS is there in a bit
Just send me your mail address in PM and l`ll send you the file.
Mail is on the way

So that everyone has a chance to test this if desired, do a Nandroid backup (DUH!) and flash: http://derekgordon.com/gps-files/beta/agps.patch.asus.transformer.300.test1.zip
The above operates the same was as the TF100 and TF200 patches I made operate. You'll have a new conf and XML file.
I'll drop this thread and open a DEV forum thread upon some more confirmations.
