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.

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....
Has anyone tried out the new GMAPS 4.0 on their device? Has anyone got it to work when using GPS? I installed it and everytime I click on Use GPS it crashes the application. This use to happen to my old I910 with version 3.32 and not sure why.

Version 4.0 works perfect on mine and I get a quick lock on GPS. Maybe you should try reloading it.
i get a gps satellite lock inside in under thirty seconds with 4.0
I had this same issue as well. I had to revert back to v3.2.1 to use the app.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times and the same result. I also reverted back to an older version.
wow, I just got my i-920 omnia2 about 4 weeks ago and it was about 3 weeks ago I downloaded and installed google maps. it is version 3.3.0. when did they come out with version 4? the one I have works fine. takes a while to acquire satellites. I just tried out that latitude yesterday. very cool thing, but it didn't work. but the phone that I was "tracking" had latidute running then "exit". it asks if you want to still send location info and yes was selected. per google, when in this mode it sends signal based on cell tower info--does this to preserve battery life since if the gps were on constantly and sending signal if would drain it. cell tower info not as accurate. but it didn't work at all. showed essentially no movement. was going to try to leave google maps open and thus sending gps info to see if it worked that way.
oh, to original poster--didn't the i910 have gps locked so you couldn't use it except for verizon stuff?

The GPS on the I910 was unlocked. I used IGO8 as well as GOOGLE MAPS and BING.
GPS
I have the i920 and have installed the google4 with no problems. The gps was locked within one minute, didn't time it but was within 10 meters.
Just installed Google Maps 4.0 yesterday -- works AWESOME on my i920, gps lock within 30 seconds when outside. Unfortunately still no navigation like they have on the newer android devices (grr, google bastadz!) but it most certainly does not crash.
What ROM are you using, and did you uninstall the older version manually before installing the new one? Also try using SKTools' uninstaller -- that will also scan for left behind registry keys \ temp\cache files and remove them.
Well I installed the newest version which is 4.1 with the voice command and it works great.
Working great
I would make sure you have the version available for the windows 6.5. Other than that I can't think of anything that would cause this problem besides the fact you don't have the GPS turned on for both the phone and the program.
Hello,
I upgraded to CM 7.0.2 and can't get lock on GPS when using google maps navigator. I tried using GPS Status and reseting GPS data, using MSL Reader does not work since Inspire is not CDMA which reader seems to work with. GPS Status and GPS Test work at locating GPS satellites.
Did anyone have the same issue and found fix for this?
thanks!

Try being less of a jerk please.
While those scripts do help some, it's not the end all be all fix.
I was in your situation... somewhere along my happy flashing i lost my gps capabilities. I decided on cm7 but still had a broken gps. I flashed that script using cwm and now my gps is perfect, better than any gps from my previous phones. I do suggest downloading gps status after you flash those scripts. It'll download some agps data and hopefully your gps will lock on flawlessly from than on. Good luck.
Thanks guys! Will try using the script.
For the person that said he flashed the script and it worked flawlessly on CM7, which one did you actually flash? South East or North America...
I was in the same position before with CM7 and GPS acting up....did both of those and nothing changed really...
now i just freshly re-rooted my phone after having my parachute savior of going back to ATT STOCK completely...(saved it since i know if all else fails i can always go back and go back to the drawing board)...
I want to carefully chose my roms and also i would like to go back to radio that i originally had...so that's my next step.
A friend of mine recently bought the Ascend P1 and has been having issues with getting accurate GPS locks on it. I've double checked the location settings and everything is set right. She uses the GPS mainly in fitness apps to track her runs. In Runkeeper, the tracking is very off and the phone never seems to get a solid lock. She tried a different running app, Endomondo, just to compare and the results were similar. The route mapping is way off and overstates the runs significantly. She had no issues on her HTC Wildfire S prior to this.
All apps are up to date and the phone has been updated to the latest version pushed out by the carrier/Huawei. Any thoughts on what's happening here or if there is a setting somewhere in 4.0 that I'm not familiar with? Thanks!
try fasterfix and see if it gets better
I've got similar issues. I partially solved it by using those kinda bracelets which let you hang your phone on your arm. But anyway I guess the GPS sensor or the antenna are not really optimised.

Guys ... can anyone confirm me one thing from stock ROM 4.0.3 ICS that if you have a rooted rom and not touched the /system/etc/gpsconfig_viva.xml , then in data/gps folder , does the lto.dat exists after the gps is fixed with data on?
Huawei Ascend P1 gps proble is fixed in the jelly bean version Emotion 1.6
Only the GPS log bug still exists and needs to be rectified manually by rooting and unrooting
After the fix, it fixes extremely fast , faster than the s3
The gps bug is solved from the post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45424819&postcount=188
Having some difficulties with the GPS on my TF101. I've done complete wipes and installed the latest stock ROM, a CM variant, and EOS 4 w/ Kat kernel.
At each stage, I attempted to get a fix using Google Maps, then with GPS Status. I tried rooted vs unrooted. I tried using the Kat GPS fix, and with the GPS wipe / download in GPS Status -- all to no avail.
The absolute most I ever see is a single, solitary GPS (getting 0/1 in GPS Status). Never enough to locate my position.
Had someone else who bought a TF101 around the same time as me try it as well. He is running the stock firmware, and has the same issues with the GPS.
Is there any obscure fix that someone here knows about that has solved their GPS issues on the Transformer? Anything else I can try? With my Galaxy S3, I get 9 almost immediately, and it goes to 11 within a few seconds. Is it just that the GPS in the Transformer is full of fail?
If it does not work on complete stock, there is a chance your GPS radio is fubar.
I have no idea how to diagnose this, just a thought.
Look at your GPS.conf file and on the net there is the GPS government website I think it is that tells you what servers to use. Maybe you can compare what your file has versus what the site says.
The file dictates what is will do and how it connects. Programs that show your GPS like agps or others on the play store don't actually edit the file so garbage in garbage out.
