I found no bugs in the gps. It's working fine
Works well for me.
Sent from my LG-P500
same for me - no problems at all
Not a single problem, I could maybe call it TOO accurate by the fact it can pinpoint me in my bedroom on google maps...
gps is great! it gets a fix in no more than 10 secs.
Coming from Nokia, i could say that LG Optimus One's GPS is *deleted* awesome!
GPS on LG P500 is simple Fantastic.
Gps is better than on any phone I have used.

Gps works better than my other phones. Use google mytracks to record your tracks...love it

Man, you guys are making me think my phone might be defective. It takes my one at *least* 3-5 minutes to get a lock when I open up google maps, or even just gps trest apps that show satellites picked up. My x10 does it in seconds so i'm pretty sure its not just my location.
Bad gps ?
Hi!
I have lg optimus, with 2.2, standard.
I have a problem with the real position ( the little point which can be seen ) in Igo or Copilot. The position is with 10-20 meters right, so if there is an alley or parallel street, the position is changed on that street, and the instructution are: first left, then right, to get back on track.
On a simple road, there are no problems,it keeps positin on road, but on some roads with brackets, i think there will be some problems.
Is my phone bad ?
Someone else had this problem ?
igo and copilot have the same instruction, so i think is the gps.
I have to mention i have the phone recently, but i used gps and igo for many years (Asus 636 and HTC Spv m700).

My LG conects in seconds, extremly fasr, but the precision is the problem.
GPS with no problems. It's funtastic...
I used to have those problems then I rooted my phone and installed fasterfix. Solved all the problems. Fix within seconds with data connection

By problems I meant either no fix despite being in open space standing still. Or getting inaccurate fix showing my location way off..

Hi guys. Just sold my x10 and got a mini pro.
Having some serious issues with the gps. I stood outside for 20 mins and found 9 satellites.No matter how many it finds i never seem to get a locked signal.
Im currently using 4.0.2.A.0.58 firmware which i believe is the latest
Ive attached a photo showing that the gps is finding various satellites ok.
Anyone with a mini pro that has had the gps working ok?
Many thanks
T
try this patch www .4shared.com/file/u0AVvK65/gps.html
The GPS on the Mini Pro its very bad and with a poor accuracy, take a long time to find you, and the signal its lost very easy, i already start a thread about this with some answers... but the GPS on mini pro its really bad

How do you install it?
If i'm not mistaken you've to push it to /etc/gps.conf

Thanks for the help guys. just to update i downloaded gps fix from the market. no need for root with this app.
Worked a treat left it on my window indoors went back 5 mins later and i had 18 satellites with a fix within 7 feet.
The patch you have posted, is this a well know issue then?
Well its a notorious issue, but not so many people really use the GPS, or at least it seems that its not a very important bug in here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294658
in the practive (with N-Drive for example) works.... lets say "good" with a few drops of signal for me, but the accuracy sometimes its not the best...
For me, the longer I used the GPS with Google nav, the better it got. (There was a particular deviation in my daily route, the phone got better and better at 're-routing'.
PS: just got 2.3.4 through PC! CDN in USA.

Anyone care to explain what is 'pushing' and what is needed in order to do so?
For me, finding my location through maps takes a few seconds. However, other apps that require gps can't seem to get the location. I just want my Zombie Run! game to work and flee from imaginary undead
After driving around with GPS Test turned on, satellites popped up all over the place. Guess my area of the neighbourhood just has poor reception or whatnot. Other gps apps worked properly as well. Would still like to know more about pushing though.
Mini Pro has awesome working of GPS
I live in small town and there also i get GPS fully working with turn by turn navigation also LOL
Mini Pro is awesome

Pushing means uploading the file via the 'adb' command to your phone, that is:
Code:
adb push gps.conf /etc/gps.conf
after remounting your partition r/w. You need to have a rooted phone, though, in order to have access to that particular bit of the filesystem.
Hi all, long time browser first time poster!
I have come across an issue with my TFP that every now and then, even when in the exact same spot where the wifi has worked before, it stops working.
My issue isn't range or anything like that.
When I go to my wifi settings, my Prime can see my network and many others around me, shows my signal strength as 'good' but when I tap my network and hit connect, it does nothing! The dialog box disappears and I am still not connected to my network, but it is still there in the list and still shows signal strength as good!
Has anyone come across this before/know a possible reason?!?
No idea. Try forgetting and re-connecting?

I am experiencing the same thing. Seems to be happening on both AP's and tethering from my phone.
Experienced as well
I also have this problem occasionally. I have always been able to solve it by either: forgetting wifi source and rescanning; or 2) rebooting.
I agree that it is irritating.
This happens to me nearly every time I try to make a new connection.
The one place that it happens less frequently is at work, which is strange, because the wifi here is very spotty. Maybe because the signal comes/goes so often the software notices it more? *shrug*
I as well do have this issue. To resolve my issue, I have been turning the wifi on and then off again. Sucks to waste 30 seconds waiting for it reconnect but it works. Seems to happen after the tablet has been sitting awhile
+1 on that issue, seen it many times on several primes.
How does it feel to beta test a product that was not ready for release?
What update are you on? I haven't had this happen since the initial upgrade to ICS.

Tried his, seems to work sometimes but more often doesn't!
Same version here. I have seen the forget/reconnect method fail also.
I had this problem when I had it set to turn off the wifi when it was sleeping. Once I unchecked that option, it never appeared again. Always had to reboot to get it on wifi when it happened.
Crazy. Obviously I could go into detail on some configuration changes for your routers or whatever, but I'm sure you've browsed the forum enough to see them all. And if not, even if you can change your own router settings it does no good abroad.
Tried several different networks with the problem occurring across the board?
Yesterday evening the problem attacked with a vengence, Could not connect to my network, tried several times turning wifi off and on, forgetting and reconnecting to network and several reboots, nothing would let me connect to my network, gave up and went to sleep!

I only found that option last night! My wifi has always been set to always on, but just before going to bed i changed this option to off when asleep, haven't been back to my prime to check it out yet.

Unfortunately I don't really have the opportunity to try different networks for long enough to see if this is a problem!
I have tried a few settings changes on my router, last thing left to try is static IP{ address, that is this evenings job when I can round up all my devices and grab their mac addresses!
I'm having problems with a brand new htc amazing. The Wifi connects but only for a while and only at like 1 bar even if I'm right next to my router. My Ipod and other devices can connect just fine. After connecting it'll remain connected for a while then disconnect. Currently I tried it on stock ics 4.0.3, Energy Rom, and Speedy Rom. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I've also searched at the T mobile forums and I've read some about the wifi driver or something causing this.
Any help would be appreciated.

From other post it usually ends up being the router. Cheap router ? Old, Not up to date with firmware? You should go to stock and call it in to HTC. See what they say. They will ask you for the serial number and software number of your device. You may find the serial number in the ‘Settings’ menu under ‘About Phone’. The software information will be under ‘About Phone’ and then ‘Software Information’.
I'd like to know how this turns out since many others have this problem but no solid solution yet I don't see anybody deal with tech support either.

Turned out that HTC amaze does not like my router on wep64 I switched it to WPA aes and the problem went away. Which us kind of weird since every device works just fine in my house with wep64

I have finally found out the real root cause of this it seems it was my iPod interfering with the amaze wifi. Tested it several tines every time I turn it on the WiFi on amaze takes a dive and eventually dissconnects. I really feel like throwing my iPod out the window for all the headache and trouble it caused.

When I try to connect to my home network with my ipod connected to my wifi at the same time my Htc amaze will connect to the wifi but it'll drop to one bar and hold the connection for like 30s. This happens with Stock ics from htc, Speedy Rom, Energy rom. However, once I turn off the wifi on my iPod 4th gen my htc amaze is able to properly connect at full bar without dropping wifi connection.
Phone specs
rom ICS Energy Rom Aug 6th
kernal Htc Stock ics
Bootloader unlocked s on
My router is a cheap one send from telus called Siemens Gigaset SE567.
This might just be a case that only happens to me other people may not have this problem.

Sounds like router tho not ipod. Have you looked into updating the firmware for that router? Maybe if you call them they can replace for a better one.

My GPS signal reception is very poor. Basically it's zero.
Anyone else having this issue? Yes i've checked all the obvious problems. The GPS is on. etc, etc.
Update. SOLVED. Hardware was broken. New phone and now signal is just fine. Don't bother updating or formating. Just get it replaced. All is well now
Maybe try so gps configuring program, like fasterfix.

Thanks for your help. Turns out it was broken hardware. I was able to get the phone replaced with a new one and now the Signal is perfect. Will update my post.
I'm glad to hear that, but who the hell uses a camera to navigate? Hehehe
