Hi all,
I'm little bit confused because of my O2 operator. I don't know if this raises in other O2 countries too.
The problem is that I cannot determine my current position without using GPS (BTS-based location). When I start google maps, it will show my current position, but just for a few seconds, then it acts, like "bts-forwarding" - it shows me another location very far from my current. And this process loops: current position - farther position, current - farther ...
Have anybody else this problem? Maybe solution (another radio for topaz, patch etc. )
Because of I'm perfecionist I want to make work My Location. I think, My Location does not works because of above-described issue.
Thanks in advance!
I'm on o2 in the UK. I don't seem to have the problem you describe. I'm using the latest radio 4.49.25.17
My Location is 'very' flakey for me. Sometimes works but all too often it doesn't.
Ok, problem resolved. It was bad bad very bad radio. I installed this (bad) radio with duttys latest cooked ROM (4.49.25.17).
Downgraded to 4.49.25.05 and it seems problems with location switching gone.
I'm using 4.49.25.17 - My Location is working today. I've found that if I disable 3G My Location works.
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 Lads!
I'm experiencing problems with my HTC sensation. I've installed newest ROM and gapps from Albinoman887 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2524961). My GPS works just fine if I'm using WiFi or data network, unfortunately I don't have an internet plan so I can only use WiFi when in range. No matter how long I would wait google maps (I've saved offline map) or Garmin/TomTom wont connect with GPS. I've tried to connect it in not urbanised area,were i wasn't surrounded by building or high trees.I was switching between 'device only' and 'assited with WiFi and network data' but since I don't have internet connection I think it makes no difference. I had this problem as well on - cm-10.1-20130610-Albinoman887-pyramid , but as I had internet plan wasn't bothered about that. Did you face similar problem ? Would you know how to fix that issue ?
Phone spec:
HTC Sensation
Android:4.4.2
Baseband ver: 11.69A.3504.00P_11.23..3504.07_M2
Kernel ver: [email protected]ox#1 Sat Jan 18 10:34:02 EST 2014
CyanogenMod ver: cm_pyramid-userdebug 4.4.2 KOT49H 39f88656cd test-keys
here it goes again...
Hi Lads,
I would like to add, that RIL is definitely correct (checked by getRIL app)
i have also amend GPS config files, I can't paste the content of the file, as it contains links to outside sources and I'm new user so I'm attaching configuration file.
unfortunately , nothing has changed
I've got an idea but i might be very stupid (please forgive me my ignorance), but I thought that as GPS was working fine on the stock ROM
maybe I could get it and export files responsible for managing GPS (radio files??) and swap them with existing ones on my system ? Or maybe its not worth ? what do you think lads ? I really hope you can help me out with my problem
best regards
Tom

Use banks gapps. Search for banks gapps in xda or Google for links. GPS issues should be resolved.

Hi, thanks for you advice, i've cleared factory reset, partition cache, dalvik and installed Banks Gapps form http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857, unfortunately I still can't use offline GPS
lil update
i have downloaded GPS Status, and i can't localize any satellites - even with internet connection - but at the same time google maps are working fine (but not sure, if they are using my routers localization or my GPS), running out of ideas how to set it up
Might be totally ridiculous, but do you have Location enabled? Check under Settings. Forgive me if you already have that enabled.

Hi, thanks for your reply, yeah, location is on , im switching between 'device only' and 'hight accuracy' but since i dont have wifi connection (except home which doesnt make much usage for GPS,unless testing) neither internet plan my (data connection is off) i don't think it makes any difference.
Lads, i still didnt figure out how to fix it, did you experienced similar problems with your devices ? how can i check to be sure that my GPS is def. working ? (it worried me, that while using GPS status i didnt see any satellites and couldn't get my geo. position )
Lads,
Almost 1,3k views and no advice
Please help me
Did you try another ROm like UniRom??? or the new Carbon ROM...
It will be better i think
why don't you download an app from google play sensor tester and see if your gps is working okey? maybe you have hw problem :/
Hi,
Thanks for your advice.
I had it already, as well i downloaded GPS Status (seems to be a bit better than sensor tester). I went out today and GPS Status caught 5 satellites, but couldn't determine my position , after that i've switched to g.maps and after a while, my position on the map was ... my home's address (that's were i used internet for the last time) - two streets from where I was standing, so after that I've switched again to GPS Status and within next 15 minutes couldn't catch any satellites. Have no idea how to fix it....
Hi lads,
So...i fixed it
I'm kinda ashamed after posting so much stuff earlier on, as the problem was with the hardware (had nothing to do with ROM/Kernel/RIL whatsoever), i only realized today (mostly cause I wanted to 'boost' the antenna) but the pin connectors with antenna were bent...yeah....really....i just stuck a small piece of an aluminium foil.
Below is screenshot form GPS Status - form inside my gaff - phone is placed against the window.
hi all, after updating to 2.42.400.7, the location problem occuring.
forexample, when i am using the google navigation app, the pointer is following me 40 or 50 seconds after.
is there a fix for this.
my u11 s not rooted. i am using it in Turkey.
If it, the GPS, is consistently slow then you need to factory reset the phone. If the location is always wrong then you need to reflash the stock firmware. There is also the possibility that you may still have to flash the firmware even for your problem.
i'm having the same issue, where a GPS signal is not found or if it is, it detects where i am and loses signal. In order for it to work properly i have to restart the phone. it then works fine. any ideas?
i'm using software number: 2.33.401.10
i have done hard-reset to my u11. this solved the problem. thank you.
