I am unable to get the GPS to lock on ANY Gingerbread ROM and I have tried at least 5 of them.
On GB I will pick up anywhere from 2 to 5 sats and not lock on any. As soon as I go back to FROYO I pick up 11 or 12 sats and lock on most all of them.
This is driving me nuts. I have tried every single trick I could find posted online but can never get the GPS to work in GB, only FROYO.

So did you try this fix??

So, following that logic, since I found this posted online, I tried it.

You lost me there. First of all the link you posted doesn't mention anything about doing anything else other than changing the GPS.CONF.
Despite that, from doing this so many times I was aware of that, so after changing the CONF file I rebooted, then I cleared GPS DATA, then I cleared and downloaded GPS A-DATA.
Then what do I do in LBS mode that I haven't already done in angry gps? Isn't ANGRY.GPS basically the same as LBS mode?

And what is GPS data a? You can't run any.other GPS fix apps or it'll block configuration from working.
Follow the configuration instructions,don't have any other GPS fix apps installed.then reboot after you back other GPS file up and put new configuration file in, after you reboot go into settings, applications and clear GPS data. Then go into lbs mode into supl settings and make sure its on auto config. Then run lbs test until it locks. That's best I got bro that's what fixed mine and four of my friends and some on here as well. Like I said alleluia phones are different. Good luck and best wishes

exactly... I believe if one is running the gps status app and clearing gps data, and then downloading the new files...it is overwriting what you just did with the fix you posted.

Yep I recommend to just put the GPS configuration files in and then do the rest. Easiest way.

Absolutely not. The "fix" only replaces the GPS.CONF. If you look at GPS.CONF in a text editor and remove all the notation("#") lines it is virtually identical to all the other "GPS FIX" attempts out there.
GPS.CONF file remains the same no matter what you do with the A-DATA (I have looked at the file and settings after clearing the A-DATA. The A-DATA (assisted GPS data) is what is downloaded from the web periodically to put your GPS in a "general area" so it will fix quicker. That is the same thing that is cleared when you use angry-gps. Believe me, I have tried it without doing that and with doing that with the same results.
This "fix" works great in Froyo as do the umpteen others out there. When I use it in Froyo my GPS locks super fast but for whatever reason there is some problem with my phone, GPS and GingerBread.
I'm going to order another Infuse just for the heck of it and see if has the same problem. That way I can put them side-by-side. Just the fact there are so many "GPS fixes and hacks" for Samsung phones out there says something in itself.

Well, I got it working.
I went back to the "stock" GPS.CONF that was in the Serindipity VII ROM and loaded GPSTEST. I set it on a chair in front of my house. After about 45-50 minutes it finally "found aka in-view" 12 sats and locked on 8,
One it "finds" sats (not locks, just finds) it will remember those 12 or whatever number of sats until or unless you "reset GPS A-DATA" or "clear data" with angry GPS. When I do that I have to go through the wait again. Even in my basement it now always shows those 12 sats as "IN VIEW" when obviously they are not What is "In View" is probably the cached A-DATA info because if you clear that they are gone. The "faster lock" is created because the GPS "knows" what specific sats to eventually lock on. As long as I don't delete the data again, or travel 1000 miles from here, I should have no problem.

Problems with GPS

Hey guys, i had a question, and forgive me mod's if there is already a thread for this. Let me know and i'll post in there. But i was wondering if anyone else was having this problem. My shift's gps is not working, nor has it since i got it about a month ago. I've tried everything from downloading gps toolbox, to trying to to update the gpsone tab in qpst. Now, when i go to enter in the server ip address in gps, and the other settings, i write them to the phone, try turning on gps toolbox, standing in one place for 5 or so mins, nothing, not one damn satelite. I go back into qpst, and all my settings in gpsone tab are gone. Wtf? Anyone having this same problem?

When you flash a rom, do you first thing connect up to your wifi before you sign in to your google account?

I figured out GPS for the most part. Please read my earlier post:
VICODAN said:
2) After spending lots of time on GPS I found that getting the first lock is the most important thing and then it just works.
As of this time my opinion on GPS is that I am still unsure as to whether or not fasterfix changes anything but wireless assistance is definitely needed to get a good first lock and is used by some apps in acquiring location.
If you don't get more than 2 satellites in GPS status and it takes a long time to get those 2 satellites GPS hasn't gotten it's proper first lock yet.
This has nothing to do with having the GPS getting a lock in sense. It seems the GPS needs to use wireless assistance first to get the lock (contact sprint servers or something) and then it works pretty well. Still experimenting to figure out how exactly the GPS works and what the optimal settings are for it.

So yeah, try fasterfix and set to north america NTP Server and then in GPS status hit the menu button -> tools -> reset AGPS data and then menu tools -> download gps assistance data

Haha no problem and good luck! Make sure you keep us updated! GPS has frustrated the heck out of me for the past month. That's the best I can come up with at this point. Need to have wireless assistance on and the first time you boot the phone on any rom you should be outside and get a good lock with a clear view of the sky. After that it's good to go.

No just go to GPS settings, turn on use wireless networks, use faster fix, then open maps and try and get your location while outside and with a clear view of the sky. The GPS icon will stop flashing in the status bar when it has a lock. It will stay in the status bar as a solid icon, meaning that it is locked.
Then run GPS status and see how many satellites you get. You should get at least 4-5+ (up to 9) when GPS is working properly.

any idea how long it takes to get a lock? i've literally waited 5 to 10 minutes before

No longer than 30 seconds if you have good reception.

Spoke with OP via IRC, he is flashed on Metro PCS. Seems like he isn't flashed properly and also doesn't have MMS working. If anyone has any Metro PCS knowledge please feel free to chime in.

AGPS patch for rapid GPS lock doesn't work with Endomondo sports tracker!

I have applied the patch as given in the below thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442032
and I'm using Reaper v1.3
Yesterday when I went for a run, 'Endomondo pro' never got a lock (in 20 minutes) though it was showing that the GPS was excellent and I was good to start my workout. Can someone check the same on other sports trackers like Runkeeper.. etc
Another weird thing I observed with the AGPS patch is that I get a GPS lock and Google Maps gives my exact position even when I'm deep inside my home (nowhere near any window). Thanks to the dev - With the patch the GPS lock times have become really fantastic but I suspect something amiss.
note: I can't post in the dev thread as I'm still new, but if this is a valid issue and faced by many we can ask someone to post the same in dev section and try and get it resolved. Thanks.

do you have turned on wlan? google is saving the position of your wlan, so it can give your home as position very fast!
try an app like "gps test" to watch how many satellites you get connected to!

I wasn't connected to WLAN, only gprs, so weird right?! I have used GPS test and yes I do see more satellites with the patch. I use sports tracker applications more frequently than navigation so its kinda more important to me that the patch is compatible with Endomondo pro.

Installed RunKeeper and tested it with Endomondo on a 10 min walk to lunch from office. Both endomondo and Runkeeper reported a gps fix within a couple of seconds but when I checked the embedded map in the respective sport app there was a big blue circle - similar to AGPS fix. My take on the issue is that these sport tracker apps are being reported of a gps fix much before a fix is established and they are not trying for a better fix?!
Anyone else facing this issue? I love the GPS patch, its making the GPS usable on my Desire S, but this is a deal breaker.

Give a chance to "Runtastic".
while testing the apps, you should look that there r no skycrapers, trees,... around you

Runtastic works fantastic and it never lost the lock during the workout.
However, I upgraded the ROM to reaper v1.4, reinstalled endomondo pro and did a few tweaks. In the endomondo location settings I disabled the 'use wireless network' option - this solves the erroneous gps lock shown on endomondo before workout starts.
One curious observation about the AGPS patch though - there was no AGPS position lock (without gps assistance) for the first time after applying the patch, but it's fine once you acquire the position through GPS assistance. I'm still evaluating the same as I find it interesting.

[Q] Shield GPS failing to find location?

Google Maps has a tendency to work magic for getting GPS to work. I think it helps calibrate it, which speeds it up. Just a guess...

I think its A-GPS. records your last position and can use that, combined with the system time, some hope that you haven't moved, a bit of trigonometry, a list of existing satellites in orbit and some black magic to guess which satellites are above you at that moment in time and speed up obtaining a lock (as it no longer has to ping for existing satellites, it just presumes that they are there and if your system time is correct and the device hasn't moved then its quite reliable. A hot start if you will.
Google maps also supports location detection via WiFi (it actually looks up your external IP and makes a guess on your location from that, did place me in detroit once, I am actually in cambridgeshire england). Lets say it was to locate you via wifi, I believe it can use that location data as starter info for A-GPS. Which may then give Waze a kick up the derriere.
Or it could just be black magic entirely.

I use Waze all the time but never tried it on shield. Maybe it isn't supported. Ill give it a try today and let you know how it goes

GPS doesnt work. Gps.conf? G930F S7

Hello,
my GPS doesnt work since like over 2 years. I cant find any satelites and my Google maps cant navigate me. I tried everything. Any fixes apps like GPS test or GPS Toolbar. Also i disabled the auto optimation for Apps Like GPS Test, Maps, Google play Services etc..
Also i changed my hardware with a new GPS Module. Still doesnt work. So i think its a Software Problem.
I think the reason is, that i deleted the gps.conf file. Is it possible, that someone can sent me his file?
Its normaly safed on /system/etc/gps.conf.
Im from Germany. Best settings would be from europe.
Im using the Rom TeamExyKing 9.0 Version v19.
Thanks in advanced for any help!

I think your misunderstanding what GPS means.
It doesn't mean that you should be located by GPS satilite only and continously. It's now just a general term for your location on the planet.
Your phone is located by several different methods, cell tower, WiFi, and GPS. GPS satilite location requires a clear line of sight between you and the satilite which is very difficult to maintain, however GPS satellites do know the exact location of cell towers so your exact location (with 5 meters) can be triangulated from your proximity to cell towers. You are never being tracked satelite to satelite.
Does that make sense?

You need to calibrate your device when Google maps is functioning and its better to do this in a city with plenty of cell towers. Maps can be very off in rural areas.

Also the same file in your uncles phone will work in your S7

the stockrom comes without a gps config file or at least its not in system/etc, you didnt delete it ..
i guess that has something to do with the samsung location service and touchwiz bullcrap in general .. ill unpack a twrp system image today and try to search through the files , maybe its just in another folder or was renamed or both...
why ? i just got this samsung phone 2 weeks ago, and compared to my old sony z3c from 2014 the gps is really crappy , i could get a 1.5 meter fix on my sony even in the deep forest
but can only get a 7 meter fix on the samsung under clear sky and on top its also shifted a few meters, so i never walk on the sidewalk but through the buildings beside it in the maps app...

that doesnt exist in my rom (stock 8.0)
but theres a gps.xml in system/vendor/etc/gnss
there you can enable gallileo at least (although i think i have to also add xtra servers in gps.conf) today we had thunderstorms here in germany so i couldnt test my gps but it finds SOME gallileo sattelites at least (from my window)
i thought disabling baidoo would grant me some accuracy (becasue baidoo is on the other side of the world basically and they only come in weak) .. but after disabling it ,i had complete set off by 30 meters from my window , maybe my system needs some ...
i couldnt test it , but there seems to be lot of customization when using gps.xml and gps.conf correctly together. but i couldnt find any faq !?!
what i wanna know is: where exactly is the gps sensor on the s7 .. is it the small hole on the upper side of the phone ?

i thought disabling baidoo would grant me some accuracy (becasue baidoo is on the other side of the world basically and they only come in weak) .. but after disabling it ,i had complete set off by 30 meters from my window , maybe my system needs some ...
i couldnt test it , but there seems to be lot of customization when using gps.xml and gps.conf correctly together. but i couldnt find any faq !?!
what i wanna know is: where exactly is the gps sensor on the s7 .. is it the small hole on the upper side of the phone ?

GPS antenna is top of phone, left to right as you look at it, cell antenna is bottom of phone left to right. Little hole is microphone. But you already changed it so you know where it is.
Just a thought have you set phone in settings to High Accuracy?

Yes i did.

So i think i dont get any more answers. I still have the problem and it doesnt get better. So i think i have to be with that issue, that GPS doesnt work.
I will have the Samsung Galaxy s7 one more year and Change to a New Smartphone.
