Hello, I've tested different settings for GPS and I got this working the most
can somebody do the tests and tell me if they got better fix ?
First : type *#*#1472365#*#* on dialer app
then you got this screen :

Press Application Settings
Apply those settings :
hit return and press SUPL/CP Settings
Apply those settings :
hit return and press Delete GPS Data
then Hit Get Position Test
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.
And until you've done a driving session your results mean nothing.
I can't get a lock if I change the other settings you've posted.

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...

I know that skyhook fix has been already fixed the major fix is SUPL/CP changes
I'll do a drive test this afternoon
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.

yes, maybe it's hw related and it will never work with the galaxy s. thats no problem for me. i'll change it and buy a different phone. but i want a clear statement from samsung. thats what i can expect for 450€.
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 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!

I just saw that on their website now they provide a way to embed the maps on to other websites or blogs. Great stuff if you have a blog or you want to show people your rides or performances.

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?

That's crazy! Have you mailed the developers? It must be images or something, text couldn't add up to that. Maybe leave it connected to your wifi and run wireshark or something (if you've got an adapter that will run promiscuous mode properly) - maybe you can see what it's doing...

Images? Forget about images, this has to be downloading high quality videos to get to 9GB.
I have some serious security concerns about what this app is doing. You should try to sniff the data and see how much its sending versus receiving. I'd be curious to know what IP addresses it is communicating with. Did you install it directly from the market?

Hi,
I am the dev of this app.
1. when you have such trouble, please contact me by email (hopefully somebody did).
2. check if it load images and images sizes. It doesn't load 'thumbnails' from the websites, but full images if thumbnails are not available ... so, if the website use big images of 2Mb ... it can goes quickly.
3. disable widget cache if it was enable
4. here is my widget with 3h refresh period and 8 feeds :
http://pureapps.planethoster.org/images/presentation/pne_data.png
5. if you use the internal viewer, all browsing you does in the viewer is counted ... video streaming, downloads...
@deekjx : For comments about 'security concerns', dump the UDP/TCP trafic if you want, there is nothing hidden. But, please, be careful before publishing such comments. Now, if the app doesn't come from the market, you can be right... few users reported Pure calendar hacked bersions containing viruses because they got it from a 'forum'.
Please, email me logcats just after a manual refresh to check what is wrong.
Same for me too
Switched to manual update worked fine. contacted dev through market
I haven't seen any thread on what people have noticed from the update. So it would be nice if people who have updated to 8107 could comment on what sorta fixes they've noticed besides the dissapearing keyboard/stuff on the changelog. Any speed improvements? Also, does the gmail issue fix the server search? I've been waiting a log time for that fix
My Titan is louder! especially with microsoft tell me and navigation instructions.
Also it seems snappier and either ATT upped our internet it this area the same night, or my browser seems faster (full foxnews or cnn in about 2 seconds... note not mobile versions)
Text word prediction also seems to have gotten very accurate. Like it was back in the pre nodo days. (it seemed less accurate especially after mango)
Anyone else see anything new?
i have an ATT titan as well, im just a little hesitant to update it. What happens when the official update comes out? Also, have you ever noticed the problem where if you send multiple messages in a chat application or maybe even text messages, the last word from the previous message gets repeated in the new message? I hope thats gone too
Yeah im waiting for att to push this update next week. Not doing the manual update

I haven't seen anything new jump out at me so far after installing 8107 last night. Maybe it's all in my head, but everything does seem a split second faster and more responsive too. I did have a problem earlier this evening where a text message started coming in and then my phone got permanently stuck in airplane mode. I had to reboot to get airplane mode to finally turn off.
I did the manual update on an ATT TITAN. Seems snappier somehow to me as well, but it might be wishful thinking.
I am not that worried about wanting to take a different path once they release since I can just restore from backup and then take the update.
If I notice anything substantial I will post back tomorrow.
there're some changes in the configuration menu, like date and time and mobile data connection

8107 on Focus S
I went ahead with the update. My notes:
Keyboard no longer disappears, but keyboard lag that plagues the Focus S is still there (it might be better than before - I'd gotten used to it and now I only notice the lag during high speed typing).
Overall system performance feels the same; that is, still fast.
I don't connect to Exchange so I can't comment on the fix that was supposed to happen in 7740.
I do not have either the 3G toggle or the ability to sync with a carrier time clock. Both options might be device or carrier specific (I haven't run the Samsung utility).
When someone mentioned their device seems louder, it made me realize my phone is louder too - my system sounds have been louder, notably the sound when you charge it and reminders. Music and call volume through headphones and bluetooth are unchanged. I think Mango quieted system sounds (which I liked), and now this update has returned them to pre-Mango volume level.
I haven't tested the so-called SMS bug (because I don't want to hard reset my phone if it isn't fixed).
My guess is this release won't be sent out to all users, only users of devices or on carriers where the fixes are appropriate. I bet when they fix the SMS issue, they'll force a cumulative update. I hope that's soon.

How would you do that? The combination of characters to cause this bug hasn't been revealed yet, has it?
At least I hope it hasn't.
But according to a tweet by Tom Warren (who was apparently involved in uncovering this bug) has confirmed that the bug has not been fixed. Also this version (8107) is from early December before the SMS bug was made public.

If Google "fixes" that (fixes = implements), then yes... This is not MS's problem. Google does not offer Exchange. What they offer is some wannabe implementation of exchange that doesn't support server-side search. They provide it just on Android - and only in their proprietary application. Nor iOS, nor WM can do that either.
Gmail server search has always worked on my old iPhone.

Music is different. I can't put my finger on it but it's not louder, but i guess on my higher quality songs i got from zune, it seems clearer on my titan. Also no click between songs.
Is it just me or do the live tiles seem to start moving faster as you get to them?
Also does your browsing on the internet (using desktop mode) seem faster? Mine does.
More snappier. Performance
more typing accuracy.
slightly , but very slight battery life improvement
WiFi seems slightly faster now.
Te keyboard disappearing problems seems to be solved.
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus LTE, rooted running Android 4.0.2. I recently noticed (while playing Doodle Jump) that my accelerometer was slightly off. If I held the phone straight vertical (or laid it flat) the doodle would move to the left. In order to play properly I would have to lean the phone to the right to compensate. I tested this again with two different gyroscope apps. It's off by about 4 degrees (not terrible but enough to be obnoxious). I also used the in-app calibration option which fixed the problem, but only for that app. I re-calibrated my compass to no effect and did a factory reset to no effect. I don't know if this problem existed before I rooted as rooting was the first thing I did.
I'm unsure whether this is worth sending the phone back over (I can re-lock my boot loader if needed). Or if I did, would they even take it back for such a small issue? I've had the phone for about two months now. I would much prefer some sort of software fix. I understand that certain phones had global calibration options in the past. I have root access and am open to some hacking.
Any help is appreciated.
+1 have the same problem.. very annoying in Doodle Jump! I tried searching for some sort of calibration program on market but found nothing.

Download GPS Status and use the Tools to Calibrate
https://market.android.com/search?q=gps+status&c=apps
Nope. Didn't work.
As I stated in my post, I've tried calibration apps, but they only calibrate the accelerometer for that one app.
Odd. Worked perfectly for me when I had calibration issues in Sky Maps.
Some apps will have you wave your phone in the pattern of an '8' a few times. I wonder if thats universal to calibrate?
Calibrate works 100% gps status and tools.
However I find it doesn't stick forever.. It reports that it's always off in the same direction and by the same amount.

Is this a stock rom?
This might be a bug with the game itself (maybe not). But I have this game too, although on my tablet. Last night my boy was playing it and I noticed the calibration was off. It seemed like it was calibrated for landscape although we were in vertical mode. I initially thought that it calibrated when launched, so I closed out of the game, set it to vertical orientation, and relaunched... same thing.
This was on a Transformer.
I'm almost positive it worked on the Nexus before (as my kid loves it). Perhaps a bad update?
I'm on a AOSP rom (Gummy) and I'll try it again and post back.
EDIT: My Bad I was referring to Hyper Jump... which works fine on my Nexus which uses the accelerometer.
Yeah it's the stock ROM (I'm waiting on CM9). It's defiantly not the app, multiple apps have confirmed the problem. Multiple calibration tools have worked, but are only a fix for that one app. The compass calibration (wave your phone in a figure eight) does nothing to fix the problem. There is no global calibrate.
I'm sure there must be some sort of permanent fix with root permissions. But I'm not a developer and don't know where to start.
I have the same problem in neo v and found no way, too!
Please help!
+ 1. someone really need to make a fix for this . i know there are calibration options in the sgs and sgs2 but why not in the gnex settings?
Some games suggest holding your device flat and then moving it around in a figure eight pattern to recalibrate the accelerometer.
See if that helps.

Same prob here. Any Solutions? Calibration apps don't work, only for the specific app. is there a way to get a global setting?
I had the same problem on my GNex... I don't know if it's for that, but it's worth a try...
when I played a game it always went in the right side... I read somewhere that the GNex has an automatic calibration... i just left it facedown in the table everynight (charging)... and afer 2-3 days it was good calibrated...
Maybe I just was lucky... but you don't have anything to lose...
Sorry for my bad English (Grammar).

Couldn't find anything about automatic calibration. I wonder how this should work anyway. The device doesn't know what's the correct position. Your table might be slanted.
So any information on global calibration?
Did you try it?... it worked for me... maybe it memorizes if you do it over and over again?

Me too
I have the same problem with my nexus 10... I've installed an app called Z-device test, and says that the gyroscope and accelerometer are fine, but it has a Lineal Acceleration tab and one of the 3 axis looks like "accelerated"... i cannot take photospheres
i've tryed the gps app but doesn't fix the problem..

Is there any develper who develop an app who fix this issue. ?? My device is pantech vega A910K
I never noticed GPS to be bad on stock rom or the update, or the update after that or this 3.2.1 but randomly within this past week I have. It will totally lose signal completely when driving in an area with full gps signal on my other phone also Att (s4). I have had numerous issues repeatedly daily with GPS. No locking or random no signal durations. Anyone else have bad GPS performance ?
I've been using mine everyday with no issues. I'm on 3.2.1 as well. Try downloading gps test and clearing and then updating the agps data. Might help. Hopefully it's not a hardware issue

I had exactly this issue, yesterday I updated to 3.2.1 let's see if it remains...
I even installed GPS test app...
António
I don't have any problems too. GPS fix within 5 seconds and rock solid. Longest tour I made was almost an hour with my car since OTA update to 3.2.1.
I have similar issue. I must wait 20 to 40s to have a Gps fix, with 4G+ / Wifi and gps high precision enabled.
Same problem with the gps..

I've got huge issues, too. I use GPS with the app Blitzer.de, it warns you from speed controls, and the phone is randomly loosing GPS connection at all. I've to restart the app then or if this does not work, I've to turn GPS off and on again. This happens every 10 min on average. It's really annoying me.
Please check this thread for a compromise solution. The issue will appear after 3-4 hours gps using. Clearing the cache will fix it for another 3-4 hours. But i think everyone has it. Its just not everyone use it so deep.
forums.oneplus.net/threads/one-plus-3-gps-tracking-issues.453067/page-2
I hope it will be fixed in the next update. If there is someone, who got custom kernel and rom. I would appreciate, if you can tell us your experiences with the gps.
Thanks
p.s. sry i can't send links

I come from a fresh installation of FreedomOS so I don't see any reason for resetting... I'm going to wipe the cache and see if that fixes it, but honestly I don't think so.
edit: This issue also happens with Pokemon GO, but at least fore me more rarely then with Blitzer.de ...

FreedomOS latest is based on OxygenOs 3.2.1 and the same kernel i think. So i could say, there is no difference between. On standard recovery you can wipe cache and data. Wiping cache will fix it for another 4 hours, for me. After that it's the same like you describe before. Restart will fix only for 5-10 minutes. Nothing else works. Maybe with a custom kernel / rom. Cyanogen or AOSP. Dont wanna root.

FreedomOS is OxygenOS with a custom installer In Linux firmwares are included in the kernel so a custom kernel could already fix it. I think the gps firmware in the stock rom/kernel has a bug.
People must not be noticing it quite yet, I'd expect this thread to be larger by now. How could each phone be different if they're all the same ? Oneplus fix my GPS!

The thing they replied me at the support is "you can ask for a replacement or a repair of your phone". Even if I linked the post here and the one on OnePlus Forum ...

I'm also confused why only a minority is complaining about this issue. Anyway I contacted OP support, they said that they are aware of it and it'll be fixed in the next update, but they could not tell me when the next update will come.

Strange cause that's absolutely not what they told me. Told me it's only a very few case and it's hardware default.
No issues here too :-/

The strange thing is, that the only few apps have this issue. I have gps on pokemon go for like 3 hrs or so and other apps like Blitzer.de dropping gps every 15 min.
I've ElementalX flashed now and see if it fixes the issue.

Usually Pokemon go works for me too but like today it didn't seems very random. On my drive to work gps did not work on PoGo, but the past week it's been fine.
Let us know what ElementalX kernel does for you.

Unfortunately ElementalX does not fix it Had two 15 min drives and in each of it I lost signal again. If this would happen with Pokemon GO, everybody would rage already
