I have Samsung galax s i9003 with foryo i recently upgrade Foryo to Gingerbread.
I am from Pakistan but now problem is when I activate location services and try to look at Google map it tells me i am in china why it gps is crazy..
I found few fixed but could not open LibTestMode b/c all codes i tried and unable to open LibTestMode
do you have anything to tell you your gps status before checking maps, like gps test? it's in the market. first, confirm you've got a good lock on gps, then try again. I just updated to gingerbread (kph) yesterday, and my gps is working fine.
Gingerbread does not have libtestmode. And I do not have much problem with gps in XXKPH too
Are you connecting through a Wi-Fi or a EDGE or 3G network? Please tell me what ROM you are using? Are you on stock or are you using custom ROM?

hello..., i would like for somebody to please help me out..., i am new, and i had two questions....
1) i have an htc touch from alltel flashed to metropcs, but i have an issue the gps does not work on google maps, i have internet, but i just can't get my GPS to work..... is there any way i can fix this???????
also i use GPSID SETTINGS...... AND IT tells me "failed to update Gps driver"
and i have also used htc gps tools, and it also tells me unable to open com, my settings are com 4, baud rate 4800, and manage automatically by windows...........and it is runing the latest rom by htc...
i also wanted to try to reflash my phone to manufacture settings..... like hard reseting it, but i don't want to lose the Metropcs flah settings....because last time i did it i had to pay them for they could reflash it????
Did you check that you have a GPS enabled radio? What's your current radio version?
Yup
well my radio version is 3.42.30, and also i am currently using an task maneger, in which i see a whole bunch of settings..., and when i go to the Devices Option... it shows alot of like little processors(e.g. TAI, BAT1, BAT2)
AND IN THE VERY BOTTOM THERE ARE 3 THAT SAY UNLOADED AND THE RESTS SAY THAT THEY ARE LOADED..... TH 3 THAT AR NOT LOADED ARE GPD0, GPS1, AND SIM????? IS THERE any way i can load thes 2???
Did the GPS ever work on the MetroPCS ROM? The HTC Touch was never advertised with GPS so the guys on the Touch forum unlocked it with custom ROMs. Some carriers chose to hide the GPS feature (like Sprint I believe, and Bell Canada's stock rom doesn't allow GPS either) so maybe the MetroPCS rom has disabled the GPS.
Hmmm??
well to be honest, i don't have a metropcs rom, and i do not know how to get one, also the currently rom that i have installed on my touch VOGU100, is the Alltel rom, which is windows mobile 6.1, and is there any way i can enable gpsone on the touch?????? cause with the current rom it is disable, and the only thing for gps that is enabled is GPD0. I USE Task Manager 3.1 to verify this....
Hi i am a newbie using Andoid, i was using gps or agps in froyo...however after the upgrade to gingerbread 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 i've coudn't get my gps to work..., i can not get sats nor gps fix.

I have an inspire 4g on Att. running android 4.0.4, redemption 1.1. i have tried all the different gps installs in rom tools for att, generic and stock gps and rebooted after each change. however my phone still will not connect to a gps sat. it will not see any and therefore cannot lock. anyone have any info that may be of any help.
Slow
I'm running Android 4.0.4 with the C&C ICS rom and although my gps works I've noticed that it is very slow when trying to find my location in things such as Maps. Is there something to flash or update to get it working/improve performance?
Either hardware fault or improper aGPS settings.
I have a new SGS2 recently swapped to ICS 4.0.3 via OTA update. Its rooted and running custom kernel. The problem I'm facing here is that my GPS is reporting my location somewhere in Qiuchangzhen, China whereas I'm located in Karachi, Pakistan which happens to be miles away.
- Switching off Wifi sometimes brings it back to my location.
- I've also used GPS Status and FasterFix which fixes it for a minute but later on the problem prevails.
Any help would be greatly appreciated since I cannot find any related thread regarding this issue.
Thanks,
JA.
hi! today i've found a working solution for all users with non working GPS!
I know, my GPS has worked unter WM and the android SD Version update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-photonic-KANG-signed.
After the switch to 4.0.4. munjeni's ICS and the latest GPS Patch, on my phone GPS will not work!
after my search for a reason for a corrupt GPS i've tried some workarounds.
also to reinstall WM6.5!
the interested thing, also under WM, GPS is no more working. (windows is seaching and seaching ...... )
i've found a interesed note: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498693
it seems GPS was blocked from an older andriod version!!!!!
in my case - the SD version you can see in the first line.
now i've reactived the saved SD version, start the GPS in google maps, it takes some secounds to found my location via GPS.
in this active state and working GPS, i've removed the battery!
flash back to the new LK and restored my whole saved ROM include the GPS fix!
after the boot, start your navi-software or google maps - now your GPS should works fine - you can see the icon in the left corner!!
also the sw tells me, my location was set by GPS!
thats great!
I hope, i could help all other users with munjeni's great custom rom 4.0.4. ICS!
PS: not working is his blue camera fix! -
I use the solution to modify the file to get the right result (but blue preview). that is ok for me!
also i can live with the 3G bug! If i want to google, I activate 3G and after browsing, i switch back to 2G.
bad is the mono audio! i hope, we will get an update soon!?
howto
mini howto:
to check, if your GPS blocked, save your current ROM!!
flash your original WM to your fon and look in google maps, if GPS find any satellites.
in my case, it does not found any satellites. (but it activated the GPS Modul).
the device was there, but it seems blocked!
now you have to flash to the Android ROM as you know, your GPS works correctly!
start that ROM and activate the GPS with an application (like google maps or an navigator software)
in my case, gps founds satellites during some seconds (10 or 20 seconds)
also the ROM tells me, my location was set through GPS.
in this state, you have to remove the battery!!!!
flash back to the latest LK and restore your ROM from the first!
boot, start google maps or navi and you will see the GPS in the left upper corner on your hd mini.
have fun and be happy
Thank you!
Thank you very much, dear pinky999!
Your solution helped me to re-enable GPS on my mini!
After reading your post I first tried the latest sdcard version I used - photonic CM 7.2 (this had no effect),
and then tried another sdcard android that I used before photonic - r175 with sense - AND THIS DID THE TRICK! HOORAY!
Thank you once more
