[Q] Poor GPS Signal - HTC One S

Hi,
I noticed I have a bad gps signal.
I tried fix from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636790&page=7 which made me get a gps lock in less than 5s.
I installed GPSTest and took a screenshot after a few minutes (HTC One S.png), I did the same with an Xperia T at the exact same place (street) and there is a big difference.
I tried using it in my pocket while doing biking and get this result : 0.54 km instead of 15 in an open area.
Does anyone has a similar problem?
Thanks in advance for your help
PS : I'm on Maximus HD 10.0.0 (Android 4.2.2, Sense 5)

Touch Pro GPS has lag after installing official hotfix.

Hi all,
I just installed the new hotfix of htc to let the gps work faster.
The fix worked first it took about 1.5 minute to get a fix and a location on the map and now I get a fix in about 2 seconds.
Problem is since I installed the fix I have a very great lag. (25 meters off my position)
Any body who knows how to solve this?
Thanks
Rick

Zopo ZP100 signal problem

Does anyone have a signal problem with this cellphone? My signal comes and goes every few minutes making the phone unusable.
If you do please write down the rom you're using. I think it happens only with ICS 4.0.3
Thanks!

Hi. It seems that I have the same problem, and it happens both on ICS, and Gingerbread.
I guess you have the same version as me, the Zopo ZP100 OEM / Pilot (Hero H5500). The one that has only a single lateral button for the camera. It doesn't have the little switch used to commute from Photo to Video.
It shows me a message in the notification bar "Restricted access changed" and then it disconnects from the network - goes into airplane mode. A few hours after my touchscreen died.
I reflashed all the existing firmware versions for this phone. I really don't know what to do. Can someone help ?
solution
Found a fix:
www dot zopomobileshop dot com/zopo-rom/zopo-zp100-pilot-3g-signal-solution/
I tried that fix and it didn't worked. I returned it and the new one works

[Q] HELP! Xperia active CM9.1 : GPS AND BLUETOOTH DON'T WORK!

Hi,
I have an XPERIA ACTIVE. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone and flashed cm 9.1 (satsuma).
It caused many problems, but all solved, except GPS AND BLUETOOTH, they don't work.
Bluetooth doesn't give signs of life! It doesn't find any device.
GPS: When i use Google Maps, it's constantly searching for the position that seems to locate but it turns on itself wildly as if it could not find the direction.
I used GPS STATUS to find satellites and it takes from 10 to 20 minutes to give the coordinates of the position, but the problem doesn't change.
I tried to modify gps.conf but I can't fix.
Anyone can help me?
Please.

HTC Sensation - GPS problem - CyanogenMod KitKat

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

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.
