IM RUNNING CALKS latest and greatest btw... Most all fixes get a fast lock, or at least a lock after a reboot. The REAL test is:will it still get a lock after, lets say, 8hrs? This is the only "fix" that has truly passed that test... Try it, and you will agree I like to open gps status and get a lock on satelites before i use my gps too, if that makes any difference.
This zip, plus GPS status works the best. Wipe dalvik and cache then flash away....
Best way to check is use GPS to get first lock and directions.... if that's good, then try to do the same thing a few hours later BEFORE A REBOOT.... works like a charm.... I finally think this one works guys... check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13140032&postcount=17953
What problem is this fixing?
I have been using GPS Status for a long time. I would do the same on my Epic...open GPS Status, let it lock then Maps and Telenav had much better and quicker lock. I wasn't aware of those area fixes though. Telenav has been flawless on this phone for me around L.A. but I will definitely see what they're about. Thanks

A good number of unlucky people like me were experiencing SHAKY GPS.
This is fixing my gps not working at all... Sometimes it would work off of several reboots.Same for my gf's et4g. i was tempted to exchange it for another et4g. I've had my phone since day 1, and gps has never worked consistenly.. Now it works flawlessly! Thanks again Angeldeath!!
##GPSCLRX# + MSL will reset your gps, a lot less of a pain too if your having problems getting a fix.
i think the gps is very weak. i can never get a lock in my basement while my evos never had a problem. when im outside, my e4gt will get a lock eventually.
tried all kinda of fixes none work. though i think i must have borked it somehow. maybe a complete reformat will fix it but dont wanna do that any time soon

Now, do I need to do this every time I need to use Maps or Telenav? Is there no slightly more permanent fix?
I got 10/10 locked inside within 3 meters. Very nice. Thanks

My stock gps locks prefect. But for location weather apps like fancy widget and minimalistic text show the wrong location. Will this help? Or does it only help with location locking? My maps and nav work prefect though

Depending on where you live should determine which zip you should download. And if you travel all over the u.s., just use the north american zip.(i recommend using the zip for the actual area that you live in)... Next, flash from recovery, then install GPS Status & Toolbox from the market.Turn on gps, open up gps status & toolbox, and select menu/settings/Display & Tools.. Then check "Show time to Gps fix"...keep gps status & toolbox open till sats are fixed..DONE. NOW I get immediate locks!!!
Anytime you reboot or power off, you have to open GPS Status to fix sats... THANKYOU ANGELDEATH and Xenova FOR THIS WONDERFUL GPS FIX THAT ACTUALLY WORKS FOR OUR PHONES!!!

Lol there's a Florida specific zip? I didn't know we were that ****ed.
this fix doesn't work
my phone was good until last week, now navigation never works, GPS takes 30-90 seconds to get a location within a few meters of me.
i've been trying everything, as many have been, and this fix only works for the first minute after using gps status. if i wait an hour and check maps again, i have to reset and re-download to get sats again and it still doesn't always work.
at this point i'm mildly convinced it's a hardware issue. unless a new driver is found, i'm going to try to get an exchange soon.
Edit:
Going back to square one (so far) has been a good fix - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351761
Edit 2:
Nope, going back to pure stock works as temporary as flashing regional GPS sats or clearing GPS cache

Thanks! Im in the car and pulled up Google maps. My GPS didn't lock on. I used your file, rebooted and launched maps again. It locked on within seconds. Before the file change it wasn't locking while moving in the car even after a few minutes.

Some of those weather apps use the network location, not gps, and some display the nearest weather reporting station instead of your exact location. It all depends where the apps get its information from.
Beautiful widgets reported Dudley as location, the town next to me, probably using that tower. Weather Bug reports popular bluff airport, 25 miles away.

I recently started using Endomondo with my One X (Im new to endomondo anyway!). On my first run i noticed some odd placement of some of the GPS markers on the route i followed. I figured it was just bad signal.
I took both my One X and Nexus one out today, One X in left trouser pocket and N1 in my Right. The N1 does still have some anomalous readings but nowhere near as many as my OneX
Does anyone else notice this with their One X using Endomondo/similar applications
P.S Yes, i know i am horrendously unfit.

Having come from the iPhone 4 (using MotionX GPS) I also downloaded Endomondo last week to give it a try. Did an 8 mile walk with the phone having a clear view of the sky. Looks okay when zoomed out, but if you zoom in to view the route then it looks like I've had 20 pints beforehand and am wavering all over the place!
http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/qkSZ8nv3D7o
Haven't had chance to try another program yet to see if it's the phone or the software.
Having similar problem with Noom. Seems to think I have travelled three times the distance, in some cases, simply because of the erratic zig zags. It actually produces reasonable results if I reduce the GPS polling frequency (setting within Noom) to 30 seconds, from the default 1 second.
Had same kind of problem with Endomondo on my HTC One X.
This is the workout with the HOX: http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/48666294
And this is with my old SE Neo: http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/13079346
Aprox 3,5km difference... very weird..
Has anyone tried endomondo on a different device - do they get the same results.
Out of interest, what Firmware version is your One X which gives these results?

Return it
I have the same GPS problem in all my GPS apps that are working fine in my old Desire.
The only solution people report in other treads is to return the phone for another copy - I tried that today in my shop - the official HTC shop in Copenhagen - only to be told that I was one day late as they have a 7 day policy, so now my phone has to go away for "repair" a number of weeks
I blocked the GPS-Services to prevent download AGPS-data, and cleared after that the AGPS-data on my phone using GPS-Status. Now is working.
..as well I disabled the HTC Auto GPS using Titanium.

You could try to put the phone in Plane/flying mode and then delete the Agps info with the gps status app.
Maybe that will work, because endomondo (or any other app) will not be able to update the gps info at that moment.
I must say, i have not yet tried it, so i have no idea if this realy works, but i think it should work.

Hi
To use the device without wifi you need to install a navigation app, I use navfree with this app you can download (cache) maps and zip codes. Run the app with wifi on, check its function then disable the wifi, you should find the navigation will still be working. I always start the navigation app with wifi access as it needs to contact its server, once completed your free to go, sans wifi.
I use Fastergps.apk by Dominik Schurmaan with this app you can select your GPS region this worked for me when my GPS would not lock on to any satellites.
hope this helps
I also just got one of those Staples deals on the Archos 80 G9 ($125)
I was recommended to use a GPS app called "Sygic" (it in the Play Store) - there is a one time charge for Map for your region - but it works rather well - no need to a 3G connection or WiFi.

Yes, I installed Sygic in my G80 G9 4B ( bought in Staples ) and it works great but the maps is stored in internal storage so there is not much memory left ( the maps and database is about 2 GB ).
Is there any way to put the map in external Micro SD card?
Umm, I know that. I've tried Navfree. I've tried Sygic. I've tried trials of several others. NONE of them work. They didn't under Honeycomb and they don't under ICS.

I wouldn't have posted if there were useful information to be found from search . On the few posts that exist, I've tried their suggestions, and they do not work.
I'm also completely unable to use the internal GPS.
No matter how many hoops I jump through, how many incantations invoked or rituals performed, I cannot get a satellite lock at all, ever.
Here is the solution I've settled on and it works really well for me.
TBH I'd still rather use the internal GPS so I live in hope that one day Archos will fix this issue once-and-for-all.
No trouble here
I used the GPS with G Maps right out of the box. I had to pre-cache my maps over wifi but it satellite locked quickly with the app turning on and off with the screen as I went. This was before I flashed and it works just as well now.
Worked so well I took Maps off of my Xperia Play. You just have to set Maps to cache data over wifi and look at your route in detail ahead of time. Done and done.

LOL - It DOES use you GPS chip. The problem is the map is downloaded dynamically depending on where you go so you have to have wifi or data active for it to download the maps.
Check youtube on how to cache the map data for destination and you will NOT need wifi or data if you don't deviate from that route.
Now, if you're one of those who enjoy looking at the pointer follow you around while you drive then yes, you always need wifi or data on. But it's always using the GPS to place you on the map.

You didn't understood what I meant. I know that it need internet to download Map, but the thing i was referring to is that you cant use the damn map even if you are outside with 3G/4G data activated. It absolutely force you to activate wifi even if you don't connect to wifi. The most stupid thing i ever seen. This thing waste my battery for nothing as my wifi keep searching for wifi points.
Workaround
You can use My Maps then navigate with Google Map with this kludgy workaround:
1) Open http://maps.google.com from stock browser, making sure you're logged-in to Google in on the browser
2) Click on the drop down arrow on the top right, then select "My Places"
3) Select one of your maps
4) Select a place
5) Tap on the place pin
6) Tap on the place information (either floating or on the bottom), then select Google Map for navigation.

Sorry to harp on this but you might learn something. I just tested with my phone (Droid X2). I turned-off wifi from settings, 3G came on. Then i opened Google maps, it said that to better locate me i should turn-on wifi - i hit "SKIP" and after a few seconds it showed my exact location (using the GPS chip in the phone). Then i switched to navigation and entered a destination, it gave me directions (on the map) no problem. this is all happening with wifi OFF. Oh, this is with maps 6.14.4
So either I'm lucky or you are doing something wrong. Maybe clearing data will give you the option to "skip" turning-on wifi.
I'm getting a error, unfortunately Google maps has stopped, it acts like a force close.

There's this Lil thing called triangle away that takes care of that though.
Edit: I just checked and my counter is at 1.....and in the past 2 days I've flash about 2 dozen things so I'm guessing no it dont
I was kind of scared of flashing is. zip using safestrap so I use Titanium Backup to first backup then uninstall Google Maps and then I installed the older version with an apk I download it and it works great
I'm using a Tab S 8.4 LTE, having an issue using Google Maps. When Location is in power saving mode, trying to find my location in Google Maps just gives me a dialog box asking me to turn on GPS to improve location accuracy, and after I decline the blue location button simply refuses to work. Google Maps is the only app that has this problem, every single other app that needs to find location has no problem using Power Saving Mode location service to find my location, whether it's a weather app like Accuweather or a map app like Citymapper, or even the browser version of Google Maps. When I choose to turn on GPS it actually does find my location immediately, while the device is still searching for a GPS signal. I already tried clearing cache and data and reinstalling Maps. My Tab S is my only device that is having this problem. Does anyone else get this?

The thing is pal by declining the only thing it has to work off then is your WiFi and mobile data which takes longer.
For anybody who disagrees with the wifi not being usable as a location aid well it surprised me to find that when google sent those vans around taking those lovely detailed photos of your street thats not all they were after. They also logged every wireless network they went past with their location at the time so that if needed you only had to have wifi switched on and an internet connection to give a pretty accurate reading of your location...
And theyve gone even further...they dont need to send vans out to keep this list updated.., they actually use your phones ...so you become a network information gathering tool which sends back to google any wifi networks you find combined with the strengh and location you were in
Sneaky blighters
So in answer to your question either turn on gps or turn on your wifi and mobile data...or just wifi if its connected to the net.

It doesn't just take longer, it just doesn't work at all in any way, even with both WiFi and mobile data turned on. Instantly works when I activate GPS, even if I'm indoors and the device still hasn't find a GPS signal to refine the location.

Thanks for the help. Sadly turning location history on didn't solve it for me for whatever reason but its good to know it's not just my device being faulty somehow.
