Android with GPS - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have just brought a tablet (V708 with built in GPS) but for the life of me can't get the GPS to work at all. Please help. There is no mention of a GPS in location servies.
I have install GPS Test and left it for hours with no satellites appearing. Although when I load GPS Status I get the error Unforntunilty GPS status has stopped working.
The GPS is setting pool.asia.org but I have no way of changing it because I don't/can'tr root the device.
The specs are:
Vimicro V708 with built in GPS (no external antenna socket)
Model Number: fj_vortex
Android version: 4.0.3
Kernel Version : 3.0.8
Build number: fj_vortex-userdebug 4.0.3 IML74K eng.zjd1.20120717.161735 test-keys
Please help thanks for your time.

[Q] Need suggestion

Dear friends:
I've recently bought a BizzBook B1i with the following specs:
Model Number : Android for Telechips M801 Evaluation Board
Android version ; 2.3.3
Baseband version : E1750
Kernel Version : 2.6.35.7-tcc
[email protected] # 432
Build number
Full_m801-eng 2.3.3GRI40 20110715.110620 test-key
The problem is NOTHING works on this tab, say contacts, calendar, bluetooth, phone, voice search. Most of the application files are missing say I have seen Contacts provider but there is no contact.apk or say when I try to open phone application Err: Activity not found : com.android.phone.
I've taken it to service center they re-installed the OS, but still applications are not working. Now, after some research, I have come to know, that these devices can be re-installed with proper OS file or update to the new version os OS. Its on JB now. My questions are:
1. Is there a way to download a full version of JB so that I can flush my ROM
2. or is there a way to upgrade my tab with latest version ?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards

[Q] Roms n the like.

I bought my daughter an android tablet for Christmas running ics, however since getting it we have trouble installing apps. On setting up the play store it allows one or two apps to be installed and then throws up an rpc error or unable to validate your account error. This happens regardless of wether I use my gmail or my daughters. The manufacturers have been less than helpful, blaming our gmail accounts (even though both work fine on other devices).
These are the device specs:
Android version 4.0.4
Model A13MID
Baseband 1.5
Kernel [email protected] #32
Build number nuclear_zync-eng 4.0.4 Imm76d 20121106 test-keys
I should point out that I'm looking to change the rom on her tablet to try and improve her tablets function.
Thanks
Jim

[Q] GT-i9300 Clone, MTK6576

I have a cheap china clone of the Samsung S3 phone. It claims to be:
Model GT-i9300
Android version 4.1.1
BASEBAND VERSION - MAU1.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V12.2012/09/20 18:56
kernel3.0.13 - [email protected] #1 wed feb 27 14.44.52 cst 2013
build number - ALPS.ICS.MP.V2.6
CUSTOM BUILD 001130227
DEVELOPER DEVICE ID - JA56-JNR6-NEDN-C
Am not too sure about the Android version, maybe 4.0.3 and someone altered the build.prop to make the phone sell better. Phone came with a fake Antutu program to display fake results. Can anyone advise how to actually check the system for correct version?
It has an MTK6575 CPU(appears to be 1.2MHz), single micro-sim, with 540 by 960 display, front and rear cameras.
Came with many software problems, have managed to get the WiFi stable, however still some problems with the GPS chip, but eventually got YGPS to obtain a fix and give me a location – but very unreliable. Not managed to get any other software to work.
PROBLEM 1
However, when I use google Maps, it always want to install the Google Play Services, so that it has the V2. This always fails due to error "incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID".
It seems to be complaining about Google Framework as this and play services both specify
<shared-user name="com.google.uid.shared" > - not found any other programs/system bits using shared ID's
could a poorly doctored build.prop be causing this?
Has anyone a solution to this problem?
PROBLEM 2
The other problem I have noticed is that MediaTek seem to have their own location services. In mobile tools, engineering mode, there is an option to use either Google or MediaTek. If I specify Google, it states that the goggle Netloc and Geocoder services’ Fail to bind’, but no problem with the MediaTek drivers? As MediaTek only divert their traffic to Google anyway, it would seem more sensible to bind with google direct.
Has anyone a solution to this problem?

the problem seems to be with the firmware and build search the net for a stock firmware for your phone if there is one and flash may be that helps

The problem with these 'unnamed' clones is that there isn't any stock firmware, you get only what it comes with. Usually this is 'defective' as they rush to sell the phones while there is still a demand for them, and never get the firmware working properly. So some advice if you are looking for a smartphone/tablet, ONLY BUY ONE WITH SOME SORT OF AFTER SALES SUPPORT! Check the forums and see what phones have stock ROMS that are being actively developed.
PROBLEM 3
The LocationManger never reports any 'NETWORK' location. Wrote software to check it, can get a location when I run this on a tablet with only a WiFi connection, but on this phone with both WiFi and Cell, no location provided.
Has anyone a solution to this problem?
Update
PROBLEM 1 - SOLVED
guessed that it was really ICS and not JB, so loaded gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip with CMW
this got over the shared user ID problem.
However, lost the IMEI number when doing this, (maybe clearing dalvik, not looked into) so reinstated with the MTKDroidTools.
SO RECORD YOUR IMEI BEFORE applying update.
Now thinks it is dual sim version, but that doesn't seem to matter
Now using the new Google Location software, GPS fix from COLD within 2 mins.
so problems 2 and 3 seem immaterial now.
see this post for solution to fix problem 1 ... created by brother @praderj
