Well, my goal for the upcoming v2.0 of my aGPS Patch is to bring support to five more devices. This is one of the devices I selected!
I'm looking for some testers to see if the patch will effectively work.
It simply replaces gps.conf in /etc/ to be much better performing.
You can download v1.3 by clicking here.
To install, use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer to copy the new one over. Reboot. Give GPS a try! I recommend GPS Status. If your device uses ClockWork Recovery, you can simply flash the ZIP.
A reference thread can be seen at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250226.
Also, I'd love for someone to send me the gps.conf currently on their device.
Thank you for assisting me in the determination if this version works.
Attached is the gps.conf in my P500. I'm not sure if it's the same as original gps.conf in LG's stock ROM, since I'm currently using a custom ROM (andy572's Phoenix with Gingerbread 2.3.4), but IIRC Andy didn't tweak the gps so it might be the same.
I can't flash the zip (using AmonRa recovery, disabled verification) but I'll try using File Expert to put it in /system/etc/ later.
I've had word a week ago it worked swimmingly with this device...
Look forward to your results.

i think gpsconf is better in noejns void froyo final
I've changed the gps.conf. Nowhere near an rigorous test, but my results using GPS Status are:
Before - Fix in 112s, 5-6 satellites, didn't note the error
After - Fix in 28s, 7-10 satellites, error 5-10 m
Seems to work. Will try your note #2 and test in more locations later.
Do you think it'll do any good if I add my country-specific server (id.pool.ntp.org) to the file?
Will test tonight
I've attached my gps.conf; I'm using default 2.3.3 with only a custom kernel. I haven't used gps since upgrading to 2.3.3 (used void. before, there gps was really snappy)
However, can you tell us how we can test with gps status? I can't really tell when the gps gets a lock...

Country specific NTP servers aren't necessary at all. Your device should get an NTP server near you and quickest for you from the NTP pool by default.

Well, open up the app once it's installed. Let it run for a few minutes and let the GPS learn about its fellow satellites near you. You should see 5-10 satellites depending on your location. After that, exit the app. Reopen it after a few seconds, see how quick the lock is. Further, you can see the Error accuracy on it as well.

Did you actually try this one? Or are you just stating that?
Kind of a new newbie question. What do you guys have on, to lock in your locations? When I have data or wifi on, I get lock in seconds but when its off I rarely ever get a lock. GPS should work without having to have data or wifi on. I'll help out with the testing.

Gps will work without them yes. But agps will not. This will use agps data properly with ntp time servers to obtain a quicker and accurate lock.

Once all the data boxes on the app are filled in with data obtained for your location, you know you have a lock.
Also, once it looks it will flash a message at the bottom in the center saying the lock time. Mine will flash like 3 secs. But it won't stay on the screen but of another second or so. That's why I say see data filled in...

Okay, so do you prefer test data with or without agps? I'm asking because with agps I get a lock very fast even with the standard GPS conf...
That is, between 5s and 12s...
At least it isn't negative. So I think it's releasable because it can help users with problems. Any opinions on that viewpoint?

Use a testing app like GPS Status from the Market. Or, open up Maps when you're outside and see if you get a quick lock on where you're at. First time takes a bit and that's why I recommend GPS Status to let it "learn."
The flash failed for some reason. It said there was an error. So I tried to just replace the file using ES File Explorer, but it would not allow me to replace or delete the existing gps.conf file. I'm not sure what to do...?

There seems to be a tradeoff for me. I'm getting a higher error with your gps.conf, but I get the first fix instantaneously (fast enough that GPS Status doesn't bother to report the time) vs. ~10 seconds with the gps.conf included in my ROM. Both of them were able to lock on to up to 10 satellites, but the error was definitely lower with my original gps.conf.

i've just posted in mik's rom discussion thread:
sometime ago i posted here about gps problems. people were facing the same problem: not getting any satellite in view after first use of gps. clear/update agps solved the problem, but only for one following try.
then, i replaced my gps.conf file for this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630
i downloaded the one for brazil (my country), that was on his server. fix now is very quick, even though sometimes my accuracy is like 2km, but under 1 minute it's normal again (5~15m).
also, i've noticed sometimes it gets a fix with not even one satellite in view. this causes a huge offset in my position (imagine being in germany and your gps telling that you are in UK). but after a clear/update agps the problem is gone.
give it a shot.

Hi was wondering if anyone has similar problems to me with the GPS not getting a fix. Most of the time it functions fine with Google navigation but there are times like tonight when it cannot get a fix. I downloaded the GPS status app from the market which showed only a couple of satellites where visable and it would lock on to any of them. I then went in to the tools part of the app and reset something called a-gps data (whatever that is?) Then I clicked the download link and it received some data. After that the GPS got an instant lock and has been fine since.
I just wondered if anyone else experiences these problems and if so how do you fix it. My nexus s never had a problem getting a fix I'm just curious as to why I'm having problems with this handset
Edit to say I updated to the latest maps yesterday so I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

makes a world of difference. get a lock within 5 secs normally as opposed to upto 5 minutes!
just remember, if you flash a new rom, the conf file gets replaced. i was convinced that the rom i was on was causing poor gps until i replaced it with a backup off my sd card
So does this require root tommo? I haven't had chance to go through the whole thread yet as I'm not at my computer. I'm not rooted so would have to go through that procedure too

yeah, you need an app like root explorer to get access to the "etc" folder where the gps.conf file is.
very easy to do mind.

Having the same issues: below -168M, no GPS fix.
More info:
-Aside this issue, no other issues with the GPS – the GPS function perfectly, locks quickly etc (above -168M)
-Below -168M, the GPS continue to have good satellites viability (at least 5-9 are fully ‘green’), yet the data (location, altitude, etc are frozen).
-The above occurs with all GPS application i tried (several status / navigation apps).
-using other phones GPS (e.g. some Alcatel with 2.3.4) at the exact same locations, their GPS is o.k.
-upgrading from Android 2.3.7 to 4.0.4 did not solve the issue (both cyanogen)
-I tried the "[root] GPS Control SiRF StarIV" app – did not solve the issue
- Planning to try "GPS Aids" app - not sure exactly what it does/will it help...

Didn't try to modify the gps.conf file.
Quick search on the web, seems like most suggestions to modify the file are related to improving the performance (faster gps lock) -not resolving complete lack of locking.
Do you have a specific recommendation/idea what to change in gps.conf file for this specific problem we have? if so, can you please explain
why?
(note that here is no lock performance issue here. its simply completely stop showing position below certain height)
Well, its worth a shot? But before you do, are you using the internal gps or the bluetooth gps? If your using one, try switching to the other?

I tested a GB ROM 2.3.6. It did not loose lock if coming from a high place, bit when I was already at the dead sea and opened GPS Test, it did not lock again even with 12 satellites in view and with good signal. I believe it is the GPS chip Firmware that causing the problem, so there is no fix for it.

I have the same problem on a rooted S3.
But I do not see any reasson why this should happen on a stock rom with root permissions. So I do not factory reset it but wiped the caches - no effect.
The problem only appears if mobile data connection is deactivated. I think it should be a problem with some service that needs agps service e.g.
Letting mobile data connection enabled is a solution for the next weeks but not a good option.
I have noted the almost same thing but it happens when the data connection change from G - 3G - H - H+... Btw my data connection is always on... still looking for solution..

I own one of the first GNex devices with crappy GPS. I have a GPS in my car, so that wasn't a big problem.
When I started to play Ingress, I used a external BT GPS Receiver (Holux 1000c). It worked very well, also inside of buildings.
Since 1.18 update of Ingress, the game doesn't start if you enable "mock locations" in the dev-options, to prevent cheating. I'm not a cheater and if I would be one, there are much easyer way's to cheat then modifying a external BT GPS.
So, is it possible (with root of course) to use a external GPS without enable "mock locations"?
I have the exact same problem using CM 10.1 nightly for the SGS i9000. I am trying to use a TomTom Wireless GPS MKII as an external GPS Provider. I have found a posting in the development area for this device.

So, it seems like it was possible to use external GPS in CM10 without using "mock locations", but now it isn't anymore. I have to admit, that I do not know whether this is a Cyanogen Mod related issue or a general Android 4.1 upgrading to Android 4.2 issue.
I was installing "Fake GPS location" and copied it to /system/app. It works without "Mock location".
So it's possible to use a different source then the internal GPS. But I don't like to fake my location, that would be cheating.
I'm running AOKP.

I also tried to move the app "Bluetooth GPS" to /system/app but this doesn't work, since this app wants to actively enable "mock locations". Perhaps someone builds an Ingress friendly bluetooth GPS App, that works on rooted phones.
I was looking further for additional information regarding the "gps source" setting and wanted to share my results.
At first I was searching Google and found a lot of forum postings here from people missing this feature but never got an answer what happened to it. (At least as far I can tell)
Then I luckily found the patch which added external GPS support to CM a year ago and with it I found the blog of the developer who has made it.

I changed the GPS provider to the external source, and it works with ingress, without problems. Now I can set my resonators accurate again.
The only thing I have to do is reboot, to activate the other ROM. Thats okey for me.
Hm, no Boot Manager for my Samsung

First, you have to pair your Bluetooth GPS Mouse with your phone.
Then you have to go to the location settings in system settings. Scroll down! There is the option to choose "GPS Source".
(I hope, I described the options with the right words, since I have a german phone, it says "Standordzugriff" and "GPS-Quelle")

So is there any solution for those of us either without CM at all (rooted but native Nexus 7), or with CM 10.1?

Anyone got an idea how to solve it for cm 10.1 ?

i have exact the same problem. my internal gps is broken and i can´t use the bluetooth gps device on my lg p880 | cyanogenmod 10.1.2.
i won´t use any cheating tricks to get it to work, so looks like, that we have to wait
That's something that I can't grasp... I'm trying to use those FakeGPS apps for android, but to make them work without the Mock Locations enabled they say I need to move them to system/priv-app folder... Someone please have mercy on me and explain how to do it. I'm moving the apk file and it's an installer, obviously. What to do then? Tried to install it from there, it installs as a normal app and still requires Mock Locations. If I don't reinstall it from this new location, then the shortcut on the home page just doesn't work... i just can't grasp the concept. Recommendations with the apps come so that as if it's a well known and obvious thing how to do it - not obvious to me at all for some reason. You, on the other hand, have done it apparently. So maybe you could explain to me what is that's so obvious and I'm missing. Please...

I was installing "Fake GPS location" and copied it to /system/app. It works without "Mock location".
So it's possible to use a different source then the internal GPS. But I don't like to fake my location, that would be cheating.
I'm running AOKP.

Could you kindly advise how exactly did you manage Fake GPS location app to work from /system/app? Is it Fake GPS Spoofer? I move it to /system/priv-app (4.4, phone's rooted and all) and when further click on the icon it keeps saying "Not Installed"... Is there some simple something I'm missing, do not delete the right folder or something?
