Hello everyone.
Im using an LG Optimus LTE2. My mobile's gps is not working correctly. Earlier it used to lock on at least 6 to 7 satellited but it has stopped locking on satellites now.
In my home i get no signal from satellites but on my roof i do get signals but it still doesnt locks. Can someone please suggest a solution. I have cleared and downloaded AGPS data again and again and i have all options checked in location settings yet it doesnt work.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
I have attached the reading of gps locker in my house and on my roof and i have also attached my gps.conf file from system/etc (in a zip).
Please help
Im bumping this thread so someone can help me
Please help me resolve this issue.

Hey ive unlocked and flashed to a sweet NRG rom and love it. I just want to use google Maps (or something similar) to find my position on a map (turn by turn maybe?). I remember with my iPhone when I first had it the GPS worked great then one day I was never able to get my actual position (just within a certain amount of meters).
Did rogers shut down GPS?
Now on my new phone when I goto "GPS location" in google maps it searches for a satellite but doesnt seem to get my position (0)... Is there a setting I can turn on to allow GPS or do I need to cal rogers and rip on someone? LOL
keep up the great work guys!!!

I just turned 3g on and did the HTC GPS tool. I opened the port and started the test and then menu-Information and I dont seem to have a position.
any ideas guys? seems like rogers problem.

GPS on the HTC is using the basic GPS Signal coming from satellites. Are u outside or near a window to a fix ?
Look http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System
What u used was A-GPS what is assisted GPS with help from Cell Phone provider. It gives faster fix and a pseude gps in buildings.
Go outside with ur cellphone with clear sky view, start the htc gps tool and u should get position fix within some minutes or even seconds. There is no need for 3g because the gps itself does not need any cellphone connection. It takes satellite signals to calculate the position.
When u update quick gps it is faster in the position fix because it already knows some basic sat data. But still no phone connection necessary for using GPS.
The google map u then only see with data (3g or wlan) not because of the GPS but because of the drawed map graphics wich have to be loaded.
ok i will try the outside thing although I have the phone pointed to the window pretty much. Checking rogers website both phones only have a-GPS but I still cant get an actual location on either. Only about a 4 block square or circle.
EDIT: ok i enabled A-GPS on the touch pro and still no luck with google maps. It still seems to be looking for actual GPS
OK im managed to get it working. I changed the port to com5 and scanned found some sat's I had to change the bit thing to 56700 on com5 within google maps. Seems to be working like a charm!
Hi
i have read in a few other posts regarding GPS issues and Sat Nav software not working
now i have seen a few programs that 'kick off' the GPS and then runs the program and i have run these to no avail,
i was wondering if anyone else has not only had this issue but struggled to get it working, google maps seems to pick me up via GPS but tomtom is saying 'no gps device' go into settings within tomtom and set to internal gps device, and check gps status and no cannot see any satellites. i have had the phone outside inthe line of sight of the sky for an hour so me being inpatient isn't the issue, any help would be greatly appreciated
ta
I know with Tomtom and my HD I have to start Chartcross GPStest and let it get a fix first. Then I close GPTtest and start Tomtom. Once I do that Tomtom will pick it up within 30-60 secs. If I dont do that Tomtom will take 10 mins plus to get a fix. Ive tried several roms and radios and all behave the same.
hey thanks for reply
will give that a go
i have used a GPS test program that scans all ports and doesn't pick anything up, will try that one you suggested and see how we go thanks
Dear all,
My gps in my phone did not work right when I bought it a few months ago. I followed the instruction in this forum to change the setting under LbsTestMode. After that it had an acceptable performance (5 mins lock time)<=== I think I am a nice guy.
A few days ago, I updated using the official update method. Now the lock time may be more than 15mins, and it makes turn by turn error. Basically it misleads me instead of help me when the gps gives me instruction.
Please help
Can't help, but I can confirm that the AT&T "upgrade" has made my Captivate GPS worse than it already was.
I can see 8 or maybe 9 satellites, but no lock ... it will eventually lock, but is going to take AGES to do so.
Didn't have this problem before the update.
Remember search is your friend. Search the main thread for "gps fix" and find
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=61448966
See if any of those ideas help.
Added: The only thing that has helped my phone, regardless of the rom I'm using, is the gpsjm9.zip
I have also been having the same issues with my wifes Captivate (mine on Serendipity works fine). None of the "fixes" have done anything so far and have been looking for a modem I can safely flash to her phone that wont brick it and has better GPS capabilities.
Just find a way to start in 5 sec
I used GPS test (free app). It took 5 secs to lock my location. And then I went back to google map. It displayed the location at once
However, I could not get the gps lock if I only start google map and let google map look for my gps information
I have been using GPS Status on her phone to try to get a lock and never see any satellites at my house, whereas my phone gets a lock in about 3 seconds in the same location using GPS Status.

hope it works on your DS
sorry gor my english. :silly:
Nope.... the problem is it can't find any satellites....
And i want offline gps works. not online AGPS.
tried this one twice but still my gps can't find any satellites
I am in the same situation. My GPS used to work and then it stopped. I can't even remember what I flashed or whether it stopped straight after rooting.
I've tried a whole lot of different ROMs (JB/ICS/GB, AOSP/Sense) so its not a ROM issue. I've used the AGPS patch and all those other GPS apps that are supposed to diagnose and fix the GPS, non have worked. I have eventually put it down to a hardware fault and conceded that my GPS will not work.
I'm not wondering about flashing another radio. Will that make any difference ?
No, radio has nothing to do with GPS. If it's faulty - it might just be a disconnected antenna.
Enable data
I know its not the perfect solution but by enabling mobile data and the GPS you do get a precise fix on your location and it barely drains your allowance.
Mobile data doesn't affect GPS. All it does - it enables downloading almanac and ephemeris (satellite path charts, that tell the GPS where to look and for which satellites) instantly from the dedicated internet servers, and it also allows more precise clock synchronization - all that to make the lock faster. It doesn't help maintaining the lock.
And even without mobile data, at least 1-2 satellites should be visible almost immediately.
