NOTE: a user reported this dll does not work so its on your own risk!!!
if you are not a experienced user dont install this.

Hello i would like to provide you some Htcnavi.dll files wich could possibly fix GPS lags.
replace with a explorer like RESCO the htcnavi.dll file wich is located on the windows folder.
replacing dll drivers needS in order to work and to be loaded properly a soft reset
then start your test and report back. thank you
greetings alphazero

where to find the dll??
;-)
thank you & regards,

I guess, this file is from the latest raphael rom... I saw it somewhere there..
yes its a collection of some raphael and htc victor dll`s lets find out if one of them fits better for the people who have gps lag
There Are 3 Files inside the ZIP..
wich one we must use -1 or -2?

its a test not a solution haven80 =)
you can test with both but rename them to htcnavi.dll

rename all file back to htcnavi.dll and try each file... must be copied into the windows folder...
just to let you know... the raphael gps is not working too well either...
I remember reading somewhere around here that the reason for the GPS lag in the first place is due to the strain it puts on the CPU, eg, the processor is working overtime and is unable to redraw the exact position in time. This might very well be common knowledge, I don't really know, as I most of the time merely skip the GPS related threads (not that dependant on it myself)
Anyway, has anyone checked the CPU usage when using the provided dll's? And is that the reason for the lag at all? Might add that I'm one of the unlucky ones that experience this...
Thanks alot alpha, i will try these and give feed back!!
take care

I don't believe that is true (about too much CPU usage)
Reason is:
- when I run TomTom7 it only uses about 34% CPU.
- when I run Google Maps is only uses about 19% CPU
- when I run Chartcross GPS Test it only uses about 3% CPU
Plenty of CPU free but still plenty of lag. So that cant be it.
In the official GPS Lag thread, a member stated he had gotten an offficial response from HTC, who have admitted there is an issue with lag and they are actively working on a solution.
It is also known there is the same problem on the Raphael...
Hopefully these drivers you've provided will help AlphaZero, I think every newer version of these drivers will bring us closer to a solution!
The problem the lag and the mediocre output of GPS, unfortunately emanate from the low force of signal and it is not given solution by no one dll.
If you need better GPS, bay another device.
Whoever wishes better results it will find the solution with a bluetooth GPS.
hey guys. Perhaps is your navigation software that is not optimized somehow for the diamond. I use destinator 7 and i have not lag at all even with the stock rom
Just a question to understand the problem:
How do you define "lag"? Is it an inappropriate time until the first fix, or is it a delay for the change of the current position when the phone is physically moved?
From what I read in these threads, there seem to be people with different understandings of a "GPS lag".
Have fun!
I wan´t also to know what is the GPS-Lag.
I can use my TomTom7 without any problems.
Please explain me the behavior so i can have a look for this, if i have the same problem.

the behavior from Post 1 .... i don´t have this !
Under gps lag you understand the differnce between the shown location on the screen and your actual position.
Every gps device has this lag as the location information is only read once per second.
Many people here claim that the diamond has a greater lag than other devices.
So for example you stand still bevore a traffic light, than you start driving.
If you are unlucky you will have to wait 1 second until you see the position indicator in the gps software moving.

O.k ... i have a external GPS mouse from TomTom. I will if there any differences between internal GPS or external GPS
iGO 8 and my Diamond have not "lag"
I use IGO 8 and never have a lag...cold start to find satellite is less then 30sec. Even on my boat, on the river Danube or Sava, gps working very well, without lag. Working same, with HTC official, Duttys and SwiftBL ROM.

I invite u to try Igo8 without a car charger attached. Try it only with battery power and report back

I've already tried that, and with my Holux GPSlim 236 there was no lag, TomTom was heaps more responsive (i.e. when u-turning and doing corners TomTom was following me perfectly) and even TomTom seemed to have more FPS...
The problem is to do with the internal GPS, maybe it is overloading the CPU. There was talk on a German site that the internal GPS sends to many data frames in 1 second, whereas external GPS sends less data... Some have speculated if that can be changed we may notice a difference... It's all just speculation though....
And then there is the issue of weak reception - that sounds to me like an antenna issue...
Good morning,
I have a question. I've notived when i have installed AOKP b29 and i set the notificationbar to 50% transpirant, my phone gets allot slower. Anyone else noticed this? And is there any way to solve this? Becouse i like the 50% transpirant. ( it was also a problem on m4/ b28)
Thanks!
Greets
Ummm, quoted from rom control. "Transparency - turning this on might affect performance and battery life"
good day.
I didn't notice any/much performance decrease...
I have successfully rooted my phone. I am on Dark Stalker Version 4 and I am just wondering, what are the best setting post root to maximize out Note 3. I am not getting good battery life. and I just want to make sure I have everything set up the best way. i want to the app list and froze all the apps that aren't needed. I still don't think I am running at maximum capacity when I look at the benchmark scores others are posting. I have searched high and low, and I haven't found anything that tells you specifically the setting needed to boost your phone to maximum levels. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hello anyone know or can suggest apps that are for my rooted LG g3 for battery maximization.I've tried reducing the resolution didn't like it any help would be appreciated thanks.
How much does your battery last currently? (include your "screen on" time too please)
Hi. Im using Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 with xiaomi.eu 9.9.3 and KangarooX r5.1 kernel installed and I am bothered by automatic brightness which doesn't work well. Brightness set by the phone is too low for me and I need to manually correct it but the worst thing is that after each screen blanking the phone sets the brightness again wrongly.
I asked a friend who have the same phone on the latest official software and the default kernel if it also occurs and he answered yes. Does someone know how to fix it?
its miui's stupidest bug ever and they dont even care to fix it. only solution if you are rooted, just install custoMIUIzer and choose higher minimum brightness value.

Thanks for the suggestion, it fixed the issue for me. What's interesting the algorithm is not to blame apparently - the light sensor is ****ed and dropping to single digit reading even in a relatively bright room if there's no direct lighting shining on it. Just a change of phone angle drops the reading from 400+ lux to single digits...
My note 5 brightness is terrible on automatic I have the note 7 too but the brightness is perfect on that phone.
