Hi there.
I realise my GPS takes longer to obtain a fix whenever i reboot my device. Is this normal to you all out there? =(
If yes, how do you all fix this problem?

yes it happen to me too ..
the solution that works for me is, firstly install fasterfix (download from market) .. and set to custom server : for malaysia --> my.pool.ntp.org
after that, open gps status (download from market), then menu -> tools -> manage a-gps -> reset ... after reset , open back menu -> tools -> manage a-gps -> download ..
then let gps search for satellite , once lock , then you'll get fast gps lock after that ..
Hi hedayat7

Hey all!
I noticed that my GPS is not accurate any more (by about 50meters)
Might this have something to do withe the rom (HDR 3.0) or is there a way to calibrate the thing?
Thanks in advance

You can try to reset your connection settings ...if this doesn't help I would try another radio. I have the same problem every time I update RHD.
A stupid question.
how do I reset my connection settings?
1) Install GPS Status, available at market.
2) Tap menu >> Tool >> Manage A-GPS State >> Reset

Bada 2.0 S8500 GPS location Problem after Upgrade 2.0
Dear Friends,
i am facing problem in Location Service/GPS system my Bada S8500 after upgrade Bada 2.0. It's not working.
Please any one solve my problem...
If you just upgraded from bada 1.x to bada 2.0 and and now have problem with Navigation (Route 66), do this simple setting:
1. Setting => Location =>Location service (set it to on; i.e. green colour).
2. Back to main menu, launch "Navigation" (allow it to run for few seconds)
3. Then click on "More" (on Navigation menu) => Contents (download contents for Navigation, to sync your license; download maps; and download any other contents you have purchased e.g safety camera, etc).
4. That's all.
NB: In case your problem is not with Navigation (Route 66), please do well to explain in details what problem you are facing.

Normally when you install any location/GPS app manually, you need to also activate/include this app in the location service manually. Otherwise you will always receive the said error of 'Location service is disabled'
For Example, I installed the GPS Status app.
When I tried to start the GPS, it displayed error of 'Location service is disabled'.
Yes, even if I have enabled location service in my phone, but I have not enabled it for GPS Status app.
To solved this, I go to Setting => Location => Location service (already set to ON, if not, turn it ON),
then on same page/menu, scroll down to bottom of page where you will find your installed location/GPS app (in this example, GPS Status), and turn it ON.
Now go back and launch your location/GPS app, and it will no longer display the error. It will now work.

Hey all,
I was on CM for a while rooted and GPS worked with no issues at all.
I want to get the phone back to clean stock.
Triangled away,
Used odin to flash stock rom (UDLK3), wiped / reset everything.
everything is working except GPS does not lock, no GPS icon or anything.
GPS Test apps show no satellite fixes.
Here is what i have tried already:
Used GPS Test app to clear GPRS data and Request New - NO GO
Went to Settings
Application manager
Went to Google services framework
cleared data
Went to settings
Application manager
Went to maps
cleared data
uninstalled Map updates
Went to location services
turned off all location services
Powered cycled the phone
updated maps from android market,
Activated GPS and location services,
tested -- NO GO
Any help on how to get this fixed?
I'm in desperate need to get this phone working clean.
thank you

Woa Thank you dude! you saved my @ss,
I used the very first 'common fix"
Enter the Samsung service mode by typing this code into the dial pad *#197328640#
Then go to Mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>NV REBUILD> (Important: don't exit the menu yet!)
Wait 30+ sec
Long press power button and select "Restart / Reboot"
Now check your GPS from any software that may use GPS like "Maps" or "GPS Status"...
and it worked!
thank you again both of you!
No problem I've been there before I guess it happens from switching between aosp and then back to Tw also when you flash multi carrier ROMs

Perfect! thanks
the fix i used:
GPS not locking: Unfortunately This is going to happen to some when coming from AOSP based ROMs and other carrier ports.
A couple common fixes include...

Hello,
i try many solutions to fix GPS in my I927 (orginal AT&T ICS rom): first GPS Doctor from Google Play store (no results ), then i root my phone i try change gps.conf in etc folder. I try many gps.conf configuration - still no effect (GPS fix 4-5 minutes). Finally i got idea... My Wife hat Samsung Galaxy S Advance from polish distribution with polish clear JB ROM (updated by Samsung kies). I try copy with my Wife's phone files AGPS_CA.pam, GPS.conf and SIRFGPS.conf to my phone....
and it worked :victory: Now i catch GPS fix in 7 sec.
SOLUTION STEP BY STEP:
1.You need rotted I927 phone (soluition in this thread)
2. copy from my PC files AGPS_CA.PAM, GPS.CONF and SIRFGPS.CONF (files below) via Bluetooth to my Phone
3. i copy with Root Browser from Google Play (may be any Root Explorer) files AGPS_CA.PAM, GPS.CONF and SIRFGPS.CONF system/etc folder (overwrite -> yes)
4. i turn on GPS Doctor (I bought this earlier) click "Manual Fix Option", then "advanced operation" and i cleaned all the items one by one (Clear Almanac Data, clear Ephemeris Data ....)
5. I turn off my phone (no reset - turn off) and go outside my house to place in which there is an unobstructed view of the sky
6. I turn on my phone and run GPS Checker from Google Play (i downloada this earlier) and wait for FIX (this take 149 sec.)
7. tur off and turn on GPS Checker and now i catch Fix in 7 sec. :highfive: i turn on Google Navigation and i catch fix
also in a few seconds.
I think that SIRFGPS.CONF is very important for the proper functioning of the GPS.In my opinion GPS.CONF does not play a big role here (as You see in my files ntp server is still set to north america)
I hope you GPS work now properly.
greetings.
P.S. Sorry for my english

Anyway, good steps, I may have to look into SIRFGPS.conf as I'm also having problems with GPS.
Ja uzywam fastergps i rowniez szybko sie laczy.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
However, the correct settings NTP help ...
I decide to try my device in the field.
I turn on GPS .... and got FIX (in gps checker) after 106 seconds.
Also i change i GPS.CONF ntp server to polish and put GPS.CONF in to system/etc folder and repeat steps 4 -6
4. i turn on GPS Doctor (I bought this earlier) click "Manual Fix Option", then "advanced operation" and i cleaned all the items one by one (Clear Almanac Data, clear Ephemeris Data ....)
5. I turn off my phone (no reset - turn off) and go outside my house to place in which there is an unobstructed view of the sky
6. I turn on my phone and run GPS Checker from Google Play ... and wait for FIX...

First FIX take 4-5 minutes, but now i catch GPS Fix in 15-30 sec. i try this in random places in my City (distant from each other by about 5 km).
Now i have visible 6 - 11 satelites and fix catch 4-7 satelites.
i think now its all good.
I changed the gps.conf file in the package for the Polish ntp settings. But anyone can edit in GPS.CONF the ntp for your country
LIst of NTP servers You can find in official NTP POLL PROJECT
This solution works for ICS ? You wrote that you took sirfgps file from JB phone.
Your sirfgps:
Code:
PROJECT=SAMSUNG_STE
[B]UART_DRIVER=/dev/ttyAMA1[/B]
RESET_GPIO=/sys/class/sec/gps/GPS_nRST/value
ONOFF_GPIO=/sys/class/sec/gps/GPS_ON_OFF/value
JB 4.2.2 sirfgps:
Code:
PROJECT=SAMSUNG_TEGRA
[B]UART_DRIVER=/dev/ttyHS0[/B]
RESET_GPIO=/sys/devices/virtual/sec/gps/GPS_nRST/value
ONOFF_GPIO=/sys/devices/virtual/sec/gps/GPS_PWR_EN/value

Hi,
some time ago i turn on GPs in my I927, nad have no response. GSP not turn on.
I realized that it was caused paths to folders. My settings were wrong:
UART_DRIVER=/dev/ttyAMA1[/B]
RESET_GPIO=/sys/class/sec/gps/GPS_nRST/value
ONOFF_GPIO=/sys/class/sec/gps/GPS_ON_OFF/value
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I changed the settings in the original file sirfgps.conf from I927 to the same as in S Advance, but I left the original path:
PROJECT=SAMSUNG_TEGRA_ATT
UART_DRIVER=/dev/ttyHS0
RESET_GPIO=/sys/devices/virtual/sec/gps/GPS_nRST/value
ONOFF_GPIO=/sys/devices/virtual/sec/gps/GPS_PWR_EN/value
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now GPS work fine, catch FIX ~15 sec. but always before i use GPs i restart first phone. I think that sometimeswhen i use Task Killer, some GPS process is off.. Anyway reset phone, start gps and this is OK.
I change file to download to new with rigth settings.
greetings

Follow these steps :
1. Enter Engineering Mode by dialing *#*#3646633#*#*
2. Once you are in the Engineer mode, you should go to “Location” and then to “Location Based Services”
3. Now, tap on EPO and check that “Enable EPO” is enabled and then press on “EPO IDLE”
4. “EPO IDLE” will change to “EPO DOWNLOADING” (Wifi connection required)
5. Once EPO DOWNLOADING changes back again to “EPO IDLE” press back and enter into YGPS
6. In the YGPS you will need to press on “Hot”, “Full” and “AGPS Restart”
Now you should find that it is faster and more precise!!
Press thanks if Helped !!:good:
