Same as title, does anyone have a clue?
If you mean to get it working, it should work straigth out of the box, just go outside, start google maps and wait. First time might take a while before it gets a lock on the satelites though.. and check if quickGPS' data hasn't expired (start it under programs)..

Yes download the quickgps info first. Then the GPS fix should be ready within 30 seconds!
it doesn't cost money to use the gps does it?

Nope, unless your using A-GPS
or google maps
Sorry that I asked this stupid question. I thought it only has A-GPS. Since every time I start Google Map, it is using A-GPS.
Having agps allows us to have both gps and agps. Programs like TomTom works well with our gps chip, and does not require internet.
does anyone know where i can download quick gps?
its built into the rom. Look in windows.
Strange thing... After a clean ROM install, setting in Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3 (beside other settings) to disable A-GPS, soft resetting , I start Google Earth but nothing else and... surprise! It show me my position!!! And I'm sure (if anyone ask) the GPS is not in use. Well, how is that? And this happen third time now! Is there an alternate solution to verify/disable the A-GPS? Because I'm sure that's the reason for GE knowing my position. Any ideea?

Check for this registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\SUPL AGPS\DefaultSetting]
"EnableAGPS"=dword:00000001
Setting it to 0 will disable A-GPS.
Thanks for the tip but.... I've checked the reg: it was 0. Just in case one softreset then:
Step1-check the reg: is 0 (again)
Step2-check the ACT: disabled
Step3-start GoogleMaps: I got my position!
Step4-check the GPS settings: off (why am I not surprised?)
WTF?

I may be wrong,but i think its using the network to show your position. You can see the 'circle' around the 'blue dot'.the blue dot is not really your position, but the ctr of the circle. So it literally means u somewhere in the that circle.
So i dont think that google maps was giving your position, unless u happen to be near your network mast or whatever. Once you enable GPS, it will try to get ur location frm the satellites.
To Yotsclee: when using google maps, select 'USE GPS' from Menu.Look further down on post #12
Hope that helps
well, i may be wrong as well...

Manish is right. If the phone was using the real GPS chip, it would show a small circle since it is more precise.
Guess you're right! However, is damn accurate!!

With GPS enabled on googlemaps, it shows exactly where I am with about 10 feet of variation at most.

perhaps an idea
go to settings and find external gps-<select the 3rd tab and deselect the option to use GPS automatic.
now it will use GPS only, if you press the button Gpsin your Google maps.
Google Maps will always start a data connection because none of the maps are stored on your phone. This will occur even with A-GPS disabled.
Google not using GPS
Hi everybody,
if I remember right, in that case Google is using the GSM cell information from your handy to position you.
It is not using GPS at all as long as it is turned off. That is just optional.
If you are within several cells it uses signal strength of each cell to get you positioned better. So within a city you will probably get a rather exact position. In the wild it will be a larger circle...
To clear things up.
When you first load Google Maps the locate me is based on your current cell.
Your phone tells google "Hi I'm on 234-12345" and Google then has a look in it's massive database and goes, "Oh, people who use that cell tend to be located around 52 deg 48' 40.30" N, 1 deg 13' 55.33" E, but with a margin of error of about 1 mile"
Your phone then puts a blue dot at the spot and places the blue circle a mile around your location.
Google does not use multiple cells to trianglate your location, they just use the one cell.
Then when you enable the GPS (via the menu), your phone tells Google Maps "actually I'm at 52 deg 48' 40.50" N, 1 deg 13' 54.78" E", this then removes the blue circle and moves the blue dot to the correct location.
What also happens is that your phone tells Google "BTW I'm on cell 234-12345 and my location is 52 deg 48' 40.50" N, 1 deg 13' 54.78" E". Google then decide with all this data (plus all the others on the same cell) whether they need to move or adjust their original statement for those without GPS.

i must just tell everyone that SportyPal was a realy nice program working perfect on the HD
its a tracking program for workout and its realy simple and easy to use and give realy good information
http://www.sportypal.com/Workouts/Details/730
see my biking today there
only 1 flaw i was in a tunnel and then it lost track thats why its a straight line if they fix that (i have reported it) this program has realy big potensial and its free
anyone else have tryed it? or have a program like this i should try?
I tried out yesterday, it's exelent, works perfectly.
The design is almost perfect, very clean. It is very simple for insatling, registering and using, one button press for every functionality. Except main stats screen where time, distance, speed, average speed and calories burned there is another screen with actual track. On some phones track is integrated with compass on the iPhone and Android there is live Google map. The price is RIGHT - FREE. And the web site very functional.
Yeah, it looks promising, i'll test it after exams !
Thank you gnagis
I tried it yesterday, WVGA on my Xperia is looking great. The map feature with compass is interesting solution, first time seen by me...
http://www.sportypal.com/Workouts/Details/1649
Sportypal web seems to be interesting, with one workout I could not say much, but there is RESULTS link with diffrent statistics....
I'm using Diamond, and on my phone it works and looks great.
I can leave my phone while exercising and then with just one click i can put all the data on their web site. Also I can say that the community service works amazing, can show my workouts and maps to my friends and colleagues . Very nice very nice...
Thnx gnagis for letting us know about this intresting software.
Im stuck at "initializing GPS" screen... any advise on this ?
Though My navigation software works w/o any problem.

Try restart, download last file for QuickGPS and that should be it, of course clear sky. Can you tell us your phone model?
i used it, got an error after a while. Can't restart sportypal, have to soft reset device.
finally something to get me running again
Looks really nice and I hope it works just as well!

I saw the article it looks promiseing, but there is too much technical stuff. Is it ok you turn on GPS every 10 min? I noticed that most of the problems cames before GPS lock.......
I don't know how it works GPS at Sportypal, but I've noticed that after 1-1,5 min from workout start Screen goes down, if you like to see info during workout press ON button shortly and screen goes on for 15-20 sec inough to see info, if you touching the screen time is bigger. Probably this save energy.
On my Xperia at least 6 hours and more, enough for me.
http://www.sportypal.com/Public/Workout?workout_id=2326
Some on did 147km (91mi) and more then 6 hours see the link.
After couple days of use it, I discovered that Sportypal web is full of detailed info. If you are logged in, there is My Results tool for statistic of your workouts and My Records. And also there is tools for analyzing the workout track.
And the most intresting, there is a people with diffrent phones platforms whith who you can be a pal. There is NO PHONE DISCRIMINATION - I like it most. If I decide to change the phone I can continue with sporting on the same way.
Once i also try to use this cycle computer, haaaa it took a lot of time until i got him running, it's way to complicated procedure to get turn it on. I would go with the sportypal, it's simple, easy to install and use.
Thanks gnagis,
I'm using Sportypal couple of days, and every day I discover one small pleasent surprise. I found "track" during the running with built in Compass on mobile application, and button analyze on the web. For this you should be loged in.
Sportypal motivates really much, example is my cycling from yesterday:
http://www.sportypal.com/Workouts/Details/422,
haah 16,14mi with average 14,48 for me the best average for now.
Thank you for the tip! First impression: Confirming, very easy to use, very fast access to Sat (normally in a few secconds), battery drain looks okay and for me very important: the screen turns off automatically (as above described).
You must register on the website to have the export option (gpx-file).
Very nice & useful application!
Thanx for the tip!
Tried it and is werry good. Use it for running. You can export the track.gpx and than import it to some other program for statistics (I use myasics).
Werry goog!

Sportypal and the switch off button
Sometimes, when I have been hassling with my TouchPro2 I see that Sportypal has lost the GPS connection.
When looking the second time I see a straight line between the last time I touched it.
I think I have hit the power button on top of the phone by accident .
But programs like Agile and MSN keep working on the background after hitting the power button. So why not Sportypal?
I work with or without S2U2 and see no difference.
Maybe I am wrong and that's why I have the following questions:
1. Anybody using S2U2 while working with Sportypal, and if so, with which settings?
2. Or do you just put your phone in your pocket without touching anything?
In that case I have the idea that I accidentalyy hit the pauze/continue button while in my pocket.
3. At battery, advanced settings, you have the second square(Switch off after x minutes when not on external power) toggled or not?

I got fix in 2/3 seconds on my device.
Tell me if it worked for you ... I'll make driving tests this afternoon
You joking? Enabling sky hook has been posted about a billion times already.

No it makes no difference for me. I get a fast fix (I did before this anyway), but it's useless when driving. Drops the signal every few seconds (still JF3, but will test JG5 now that JF3 is finally out).
What improved mine a little bit, is to delete secgps.conf from /data/gps . It's the file that gets created when you fiddle around with those settings in the test mode. Samsung messed something up with their default values I think. If you switch your phone off and on, the file gets recreated with the default values, which are different now, and make more sense...

well ... I'm back from a short driving test ... except for the first 100m everything is fine ... don't get any signal loss or wrong street ...
seems exactly the same to me b ut my gps has alweasy been spot on on newer firmwares anyway
For me with skyhook on only it also works perfectly, no problems at all when driving. What i did notice is that when you cannot get a fix, closing all applications with a task killer works. After killing i get a fix right away again.
well its work with me fine i have new frimware XJG5
well ... I came back from a long test drive, and it's not very accurate after all ... F**K
will try another thing ...

what if the problem with the GPS is hardware based? Do you think samsung will admit it and recall all the sets to be repaired? I dont think so....
Well, how about contacting official samsung support. I open'd a ticket myself on saturday, and so should do everyone. The only way to get this problem solved is to put pressure on samsung. It's important to contact some famous websites and tell them, that there are some issues about the galaxy s and than lets see. It worked with the iPhone so it will work with i9000.

How did you contact them? I sent a web support request, submitted images and results from GPS Test, and a log from the GPS, and provided links to a video showing the failures. I also gave my work details since I'm an engineer associated with a number of their products..... 3 days later they responded with instructions on how to run Google Maps.
I also pinged engadget to see if I could get them to pick up the story, but we'd need more people doing that to get them to take notice.
i contacted support hotline, after serveral calls and waiting for 4 days, they made up an engineering ticket to get me the hw specs of the gps module(there are no gps problems known in germany!). They wanted me to sent back my phone to a service dealer, but i said, that that probably won't solve the problem.
i also informed heise.de (largest german it portal) about the gps problems. So lets wait whats coming up next.

gps navigation is a warranted characteristics on their website and that gives you powerfull righty in germany.
I honestly dont belive there is a hardware problem as mine locks real quick,is as accuate as any garmin or navman ive used and hasnt once lost lock in the car,and ive been out in very rainy weather.I can only vouch fpr co pilot as its the only gps program ive got but its lock is flawless.
@sammy
please be so kind let me know, whats the max number of satellites your sgs has in sight, to how many it can connect and whats the max snr using GPS Test.
standing on a bridge with no trees or buildings around, my sgs is only capable of tracking 8 satellites, max locks was 6 yesterday (but only for a second, normaly 5 locks) and the max snr is below 40. using xxjf3 and any of the settings mentioned here or elsewhere.
nearly every other GPS module has >12 channels and can lock more satellites the same time with a higher snr than sgs. afaik there is no *navigation* system with less then 12 channels.
I really love my Galaxy Wonder. But ONE thing turns me off till now, the GPS. When i use Papago and Sygic, it tries to lock the GPS forever. I have used GPS Status and GPS Aids but it seldom gets faster GPS locking. But most of the time, GPS locking seems impossible. Anybody knows how to fix? Or is it un-fixable?

i haven't tried having my galaxy w and x10 mini pro run GPS status side by side, but it is nearly impossible for my galaxy w to have a satellite fix. x10 mini pro have no problem with GPS fix, almost always gets a fix under 20 seconds.

well, actually I think we should be in the same boat.
I'm using Galaxy W, a Maxis customer and Malaysian
But somehow I manage to fix it
first of all, have you tried to get GPS lock using google maps first? This is because I usually get GPS lock by using google maps, only after I opened google maps then I would open my Sygic program (or any other GPS program of course).
What I did is just downloaded FasterFix application and point my time NTP to Malaysia's server (which is my.pool.ntp.org).

1. I did the method using Google Maps to lock GPS and then open up Sygic but nothing is different. The GPS lock in Sygic is taking all the time it wants :O
2. I downloaded the FasterFix and then change the NTP. Firstly, i tried Malaysia's but still, no GPS lock. Then, tried China's, same thing happened. Lastly, i chose Europe's and BAMM! GPS lock is just like breakfast in bed.
Guess my BIG ISSUE has been solved! Thanks to all of THE replies! Have a good day mate!
Hi
I'm living in Germany and I figured out, my NTP was set to North America (NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org).
I'm rooted and wanted to change the gps.conf as stated here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16960283&postcount=202. But the gps.conf is read-only. How to change this file (I'm using ES File Explorer)?
Next I tried FasertFix, which managed to change North America to Europe.
Does the "NTP_SERVER=0(-3).de.pool.ntp.org" bring any aditional benefits?
Thanks a lot

The standard NTP server has been overwhelmed by millions gps lock requests coming from zillions of devices pointing to it. For South East Asian countries, below is the content of my gps.conf that had been optimized to point to many proximity servers within the region. If you're rooted, use your text editor with superuser privilege to copy the text below and paste to replace the default..On a good day I managed to lock the satellite in less than 5 seconds just at the fringe of my bedroom window & lesser when I'm in the car or outside..Then again with humidity & foggy environment & rain fade sometimes a solid lock would sometimes takes hours, if not ages, to discover the birds up there before establishing a firm lock on your actual ground coordinates..

I'll try to be very short.
Sygic locates GPS+Data very fast, less than 5 seconds, I think, with very good accuracy.
Google Maps doesn't point my exact location, even after minutes. Only shows me a region of 20km radius with a center like >1km from my actual position. On GPS or GPS+Data.
WTH is wrong with this app?
Ive had that happen before on my note 3. It's was just a bug in the app. Have you tried device GPS only? Also try clearing the cache and data in google maps to see if that helps.

I tried this one after I realized that my GPS was too slow. Sygic was fixing after minutes too.
But than, put the right settings on FasterGPS and it worked flawlessly.
But Google Maps didn't work. Tried data and cache clearing and nothing. I guess I will have to live with this bug.

So .. None of this tweaks worked. I'm really worried about this thing. There are a lot of apps that use Maps API for positioning. If anybody has a trick on this area please let me know.
What does app gps test say, how long to get a fix? How many satellites do you see, are using?

Still Maps shows me a 20km radius circle after a few minutes.
This happens on Maps and apps that use Maps API like mandicmagic
Sygic which is my GPS app fixes as fast as GPS test
Do you use a privacy app App Ops? For a long time I couldn't get Maps to pin point me. I wouldn't even get the little ! Shape in the left hand corner. Then I went back in to App Ops and found that I had turned off the location settings for Google Play services and Google Search I believe. Once I turned those back on I was able to get a lock in seconds.

mine was taking a while also until i uninstalled maps, cleared all data, and use the gps app to reset the gps. it is much faster now, but it does take a good 2-5 seconds to get accurate position.

:good::good::good::good:
Damn it! Second time I had a problem due to App Ops. lol
Thanks for point me out Google Play Services. I thought that enabling for Google Maps would have been enough and
GPServices have gotten lost on the bottom of App Ops list due to the previous disabling.
The problem is that with Google Play Services Location enabled any app could call Maps and drain the battery.
Will check if this will affect battery life. not sure.
thanks!

That's why I disabled it the first time. I was getting crazy wake locks from it too. But since I've reactivated the location services I haven't really noticed and abnormal battery drain.
Out of curiosity I quickly put together Wear GPS test app.
It uses build-in GPS only! (Doesn't matter if you connected or disconnected)
Huge thanks to satstat [email protected] https://github.com/mvglasow/satstat for the implementation of SNR and Gps position views.
Install it on your phone and it will sync mobile app. Phone app is solely for installation/uninstallation.
Please let me know how your gps behaves. Mine is really strange - sometimes will fix quickly at home and sometimes outside just jumps between 11/20 to 0/20 to 4/20 to 12/20 withing 5 secs
I guess this attributes to zigzaging track.
Operation - Scroll face right to get into Sat positions view and then left to get back, Long press to exit.

P.S. DOP/HDOP and VDOP are not populated right now.
Changelog:
0.2 Added reset and request AGPS, tho have no idea if it works w/o direct internet connection, also added simple status screen by request
0.1 Initial release
Cool! nice app!
BTW, speaking of jumps, look at the graphs for pace I got with "my tracks" during my last test. As you can see there are a lot of times when the gps signal is lost. This does not happen when I use my tracks in my nexus 5.
This is cool. maybe you could give Runtastic and Endomodo some tips. I haven't found a running app that works with the native GPS yet, they all seem to only work if the phone is tethered to the watch during a run.
didnt find a fitting thread but you look like haveing a plan bout gps...
Im more paranoid user and was wondering, if I turn the gps of my phone, does this also entirely disable the gps module of my smartwatch?
And if the answer is "no" how can this total disable of gps be acchieved?
It looks to work fine on my SWR50.
What I'm missing is a page with ALTITUDE, BEARING, DOP, SATS written in BIG, since on the 1st screen is VERY very difficult to read while you are moving (too small text).
Can you?

Well, I can, but would I?
No promise, but will see what can be done in a limited time.

FANTASTIC: great job.
Maybe fonts size could be even bigger in page 3.
Thanks a lot: bravo!
great app!
font sice could be a littel bit greater, and is it show the satellites number?
the app itself works like a charm, except if i do a screenshot at the android wear manager, the app closes - but that happens with ervery app if i try to make a screenshot.
my swr50 has no hopping at all, just the altitude is too high (approx. 40 meters), but that is even the case if i open the developer menue.
Altitude is what GPS reports, but it is not reliable at low altitudes, better on a plane.
With app closure it is wear 5.0 feature I believe, but I plan to implement persistent notification in app closure. Once i find some free time - I'll do it...
Bumping an old thread, but still relevant at least ; loaded it on to my new SW3, and seems to work great. Only complaint of course is can't do the swipe to close; not the end of the world, but would be a good future improvement.
Still, thanks for the work!
When a 0.3 release?
Here's another GPS software from GhostRacer developer:

It's very intgeresting.
