Stock GB with Google supplemental servers. Works fantastic. Locks instantly.
EB 1.05 2.3.3 locks in 10 seconds.

I'm running stock and my GPS is incredibly slow. Using GPS Fix can never get a fix within 15 minutes. Any ideas? Should I just return the phone? I bought it at a tmobile store over a month ago. Would they even accept returns this far out?
You only have 14days to return but I would go plead a case how your not satisfied with the product

30 days in California.
I'm having this problem too. Nothing seems to fix it!! arghhhhhhhhh
I think installing a Gingerbread build breaks the GPS.

That's when my problems started.
Hopefully the official GB update provides some fixed GPS drivers.
I noticed that it goes back and forth for me. Sometimes it locks right away, other times I have to close and reopen slash turn off and on GPS. Do remember though there are always areas that are hard for any GPS to fix a location on. I know some of them here in the twin cities.

That's what I thought...at first.
But I have 2 G2xs. One that has never been flashed, and one that was flashed to CM7 and back to stock.
Never been flashed picks up GPS everywhere, indoors, outdoors in under 5 seconds. It's perfect.
Flashed one hardly works. Sometimes never gets any GPS satellites. Other times it gets them but never locks, even with 9 or more satellites in view. Before flashing, it worked fine.
This was the last thing I was expecting from this phone. Did they finally fix it or am I an anomaly?

That's what samsung gps usually does and what my gf's captivate always did. That was the reason I got her the inspire.

gps has been working perfectly for me since out of the box
I can't complain. Mine has always been perfect.
Same here. Never had a gps issue. Even at street level. Must have been fixed with the first ota maybe?

I get 15 sec cold locks with 9ft. accuracy all the way down to 4ft. after a min or so. my vibrant takes 45sec to lock with 20-40ft accuracy. (and thats with gps mods). id say they fixed it.

I agree. GPS was always my biggest reservation with Samsung phones. That and lack of a stable cm7.
When cm7 finally comes out for this phone I might sell my mt4g.

Which rom has the best GPS capabilities?
I've downloaded a couple that have been quite crappy with signals.
I'm using the 2.3 update. The v21e update and I get locks in right at about 3 seconds every time.

+1 Have to agree
See I updated to 2.3.3 (xboarder's original hack) and my GPS locks on in 3 seconds...almost a mile down the road...
no, i am not new here, just had to change username.
yes, i have check EVERYWHERE for a solution to this problem.
Basically my g2x will show the previous screen i was o before it will show the lock patter screen. Say im on the facebook, and i lock my device, if i come back to it and unlock the device, for like 2 seconds it will show what ever page i was on last on facebook THEN go to the lock pattern screen.
is there anyway to fix this?
My Device:
G2x
gingerbread 2.3
not rooted (4 days old)
Came stocked with gingerbread 2.3
has being doing this since unboxed
Haven't had this issue since moving over to CM7...
Known issue no fix, other than trying a different rom. What really sux if you tap before the lockscreen comes up you fan bypass the lockscreen. Doesn't always work.I'm still on froyo, gb ....not impressed.
meh...
Haven't had this problem on weapon g2x. I have with stock though.
Happens to me too.
Stock Gingerbread Rom.

What version of Weapon are you running?

I've been wondering the same thing

Its because the lockscreen is an app and sometimes it lags to start up when you unlock your phone.
I thought it was part of the phones software.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I think it is because the GPU is turned off to save battery and the graphics ram is not being updated. The lag is the GPU starting back up. That screen is like a ghost image. I don't believe anyone who says they can click on an icon before the lockscreen comes up and bypass it. I would have to see a video to believe that.
Happens to me too. EB 1.07. Also, sometimes when I press the power button the lockscreen is bypassed. This happens once in a while.

Weapon 2.7 seems to have fixed the issue. It drove me crazy on stock and EB.
Any newer rom from development I don't experience this problem

GPS lock takes forever. Some times doesn't even lock. Anyone else having this problem.

Get GPS Aids Donate app, download new LTO file. Also, calibrate compass and pitch and roll using the GPS Status app.
Allow 10 to 15 minutes for first lock either outside, in car, or near a window if indoors.
Report your results here for further diagnosis.
Also, there were some great posts from cnote/jager/etc earlier when I was having a lot of GPS trouble. I'll post links when I get to a computer.
I rerouted my GPS through a Sony system instead of googles. Seems pretty snappy but i'm still testing everything...

Check this previous post for how to use GPS Aids Donate. In general, GPS in KJ6 is much better than in previous GB builds.

I pulled lbsTesMode.apk from an old ROM. Using supermanager, I went under apk manager, sleceted lbsTestMode.apk, then activity and selected the shortcut icon the first entry (.lbsTestMode) to make a shortcut on the homescreen. Went to my homescreen, selected the new icon; went to SUPL/CP Settings and put supl.google.com for the server. Then I dialed *#*#INFO#*#* selected phone information and scrolled down. I hit the refresh button and checked what was in the SMSC box. I then replaced that with 07913121139418f0. Since then my GPS takes about 5 to 7 seconds to get a lock. On some phones you can make those changes by dialing *#*#3214789650#*#*, but for some reason I get an FC when I dial that (it's service mode).
