Hello everyone
I have Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 running on my HTC Legend but am having trouble with the GPS.
I have used GPS test on both radio firmware 7.13.35.05 and 7.08.35.21 and get 6-10 satellites on both and about 5-8 in use. However I never get a position or accuracy reading and in apps such as Google Maps it just says "waiting for location".
What can be the problem ?
I actually have the same problem, but the only time it locks (RARELY) when I use Maps. RARELY!
I flashed to CM 7.1 RC and don't think I experienced this problem in 7.0.3. I'm also curious as to what the problem is, I've updated the radio to 7.13.35.13 long ago and recently I've applied the GPS "Faster Fix" Mod buried somewhere in the Dev forum.
I have tried the faster fix without luck.
When the gps eventually gets a fix (after 10-20 minutes sometimes never) it works flawlessly.. . But then when i turn it of and on - the same story.. waiting for ages
Is this a rom problem or a general Legend issue ?
My 5 year old Garmin Nuvi gps for the car gets a lock within 8 seconds... So er new smartphone should be able to do this also.
I thought I share my GPS experience.
Ever since I updated gps.conf to point to a local ntp server,
I now always get a GPS fix in seconds.
I'm currently loving CM71 RC1 but have also had GPS success with B 0.84.
I hope this helps.
Ithought that was what fasterfix was supposed to to ? To modify the gps config file..
How do you do it manually ?
Use Root Explorer.
Take a gander through here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1066284
CM7 defaults to NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
HTC defaults to NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
So replace that line with a server closer to your part of the world from pool.ntp.org.
The safest way to replace gps.conf is via recovery, for example:
adb reboot recovery
+/+/ then +/+/
adb shell mount /system
adb push gps.conf /system/etc/gps.conf
adb shell chmod 644 /system/etc/gps.conf
adb reboot
Do you see the GPS icon blinking? If so then you can try flashing the various GPS fix files, modifying configurations, or waving your phone in the air to recalibrate the sensors. However, after none of those solutions worked for me, I realized the issue was hardware related. The GPS sensor is directly underneath the loudspeaker on the back, behind the plastic cover. Similar to the way the battery cover is the antenna for WiFi/mobile network etc, the upper cover is the antenna for GPS. I found that fiddling around with it, or applying pressure where the speaker is can help achieve a better GPS signal, but if you stop applying pressure, it tends to stop working again.
Download the "GPS Test" app from the market, run it, look at the strength of the GPS and then check again after applying pressure. If you notice the bars go up, then you've found your issue. If you are adventurous enough, you can use a pin to pry open the cover (be careful not to scratch) and you'll see two small metallic connectors below the speaker. You could try to adjust them to provide better contact with the antenna in the plastic cover. That's how I fixed my GPS issues.
My config is now set to europe (where i live) and i get 9-11 satellites with 20-45 in signal strengthwith "gps test" but it still takes up to 20 minutes sometimes to get a fix. The icon is blinking but it still takes far more time than suppose to.
My garmin gps running watch lock on to a satellite in under 10 second..
This is crazy..
I have now tried to set to denmark (my home country) at that seems to do the trick.. But come on.. everytime i travle to germany and france i have to reset the servers ?
Can it really be true that gps in smartphones are so bad when older gps devices for cars and waches are better ?
You may also set up to 4 servers and they dont need to be from the same pool.
0.europe.pool.ntp.org 1.europe.pool.ntp.org 2.europe.pool.ntp.org 3.europe.pool.ntp.org
Yeah, I would expect the europe pool should be enough but see how you go.
i have cm7.1 rc1. i'm trying to change gps.conf with the one i made, but i can't:
if i paste it with root explorer (r/w) it tells me that it's been pasted, but after reboot there is always the same old file
with adb shell i have this error
Code:
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
someone can help me?

thanks, you were right. i've updated it, but still not work:
with gps status i cleared previous data and download new ones, but after 10 min nothing happened.
i've radio 7.05.35.26, should i try to update?

yes, data on.
i copied it from that post , only changing the ntp server
interesting to know what happens after you update your radio
the post you got gps.conf from says is all good with radio 7.13.35.05
i went from b084 to cm71 so everything was wiped out and got that radio
keep us posted
Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone is experiencing a really slow GPS lock on their S2? Mine is rooted using the superoneclick method. My overall signal is really strong, and I'm always in "H" for me data connection. The only issue I'm having is that GPS takes for ever to lock in the satelites.
I'm on Fido carrier. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to manually update the satelite positions?
Thanks for any help on this!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713
I have a very slow GPS lock on my Galaxy S2 unlocked on Fido. Will try the solution posted and report back right after.
---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------
Followed instructions on post "[Trick] Speed Up Satelite Fix for GPS on Android" linked to by tommo123 with mixed results.
At first it took 10 seconds for 4/4 fix/sats, then second test slowed to over a minute for 3/4 fix/sats, now I've been waiting 5 minutes with 0/2 fix/sats still going with no lock.
Anyone have any other ideas for fix? I'm using GPS status to test. As well as trying Google Maps to test within an app.
what have you got in your gps.conf file?
This is precisely what I have in my gps.conf file. I put it in /root/etc on my Galaxy S2.

looks fine at a glance. you using data as well?
one thing i will say is that the link above helped me out to improve gps lock but it wasn't great. today, i flashed a diff rom, re did it and it was far better. possibly rom related as well?
although from what i remember, the rom doesn't change anything to do with gps
I have the latest version of the Cognition rom. Maybe I'll try flashing to stock rom, then try replacing the gps.conf file again to see if that works.
I also flashed the modem file using Odin with a recommended new modem firmware. Does the modem effect the GPS?

Enable wifi and activate the option that makes your phone use wifi to detect its location. I always get a lock in under 10 seconds.
Enabling WiFi won't help me get a lock when there are no WiFi networks around. Even with assisted GPS I can't get a lock half of the time.
I'm seriously considering getting a replacement phone and sending this one to Samsung under warranty.
Anyone have a link to the USB jig for sale within Canada?

I bought Fujitsu Arrowsx F02E phone last week. Great Japan phone for low price. It works great(Fingerprint sensor exelent :fingers-crossed. But,
1. When I turn on GPS using 3G network it restarting again and again(GPS work fine with Wifi)
2. Antutu benchmark shows lower score for processor and GPU (Compared with HTC one X(Both has Nvidia tegra 3)) HTC one x has 1.5quad but this phone has 1.7quad :laugh: . So, why lower score?
3. Asphault 7 not working also(Game opened its Menu is slow and game not started).
Please help me ASAP.
And Can someone please tell me where Can I find custom rom for this?

i have exactly the same problem with gps on this phone...
have you found some solution by now, perhaps?
To OP:
1.
GPS will crash the phone to restart is normal for ALL NTT Docomo NEXT series Smartphones. I have confirmed with my F-02E, F-06E, SH-06D and an even older NEC MEDIAS.
To use the GPS on these devices, you will have to turn on the Airplane mode to work if you are outside of Japan and is using a foreign SIM card. (GPS will work fine with 3G or 4G LTE Xi with a Docomo USIM in Japan)
*****(Though I have read somewhere that a non-Docomo 128kb MicroSIM might do the trick, but I do not have one to test)*****
Also do not expect the GPS to be as fast and accurate as the Galaxy S3/S4 as the F-02E does NOT support GLONASS.
The GPS receiver is optimized for Japan region only (maybe can change satellite list after root).
A-GPS for faster GPS lock is DISABLED without a Docomo SIM.
2.
The reason for the lower score is because of the lack of optimization, as well as all the BLOATWAREz Docomo has preloaded on the phone. To uninstall these Docomo software (useless outside of Japan), you have to r00t.
Fujitsu kind of failed with the F-02E. Even after the V17 update, Android 4.1.2 is really unstable on the phone. I had the OS crashed in several occasions in different apps and some games.
To get the best performance out of the F-02E, you have to flash a cooked ROM.
Though the stock OS is much faster and stable on the F-06E, though in synthetic benchmark, the F-06E still scored lower than my Galaxy S4 -i337m
3.
Asphalt 7 works fine for me on my F-02E. Also gameplay is rather smooth offscreen at 1080p.
Asphalt 8 works good too, but some occasional frame drops on complex maps.
Shadowgun and DeadTrigger both plays buttery smooth.
Epic Citadel Unreal 3 Benchmark, the F-02E at 1080p on Best Quality setting gets around 30fps - 40fps (Tegra 3 works better on 720p screens, and again lack of optimization from Fujitsu on the software side)
Hope this helps.
Cheers
you're great, man! thanx a lot for your answer -
but where can i find that cooked rom for f02-e?

You will have to find some clues on Japanese BBS boards (2ch etc **NSFW)
Development for this phone in Japan is gathering more people as the average retail no contract price of a brand new F-02E in Japan costs around $160-$180 since around May-June of 2013
You can also find active development in some Chinese forums

I use F-06E with 3G operator and have no problems with GPS, no reboots, navigation apps work good.
Also, I had F-02E, it could not find any satellites at all.

You might have a 128k MicroSIM card with your F-06E.
My 64k Rogers Wireless MicroSIM make both my F-02E and F-06E reset when GSM and/or HSPA is turned on (mobile data on/off does not matter), and GPS is on and searching for satellite for location.
***NOTE*** If the GPS is just on and not searching for any satellites, the phone will not reset.
Regarding your F-02E does not find any Satellites in Moscow (Your Location).
The F-02E will find a GPS lock eventually, but it may be unstable and take quite long time to lock. The main problem is because the GPS receiver chip in the F-02E does not support GLONASS, and the GPS locale list is configured in Japan region. So outside of Japan region, GPS will be flaky without rooting and updating the GPS locale conf.
The F-06E on the other hand does have GPS/aGPS and GLONASS support as part of the Qualcomm S600 platform SoC. GLONASS lock should not be a problem.
***NOTE*** The aGPS cellular assisted location service will not work without a Docomo USIM. Hence on phone with only GPS and no GLONASS, like the F-02E, initial lock from cold boot may take some time.

I am having the same issue with my F10D, GPS keeps trying to locate satellites. I'm considering rooting it to update the GPS Locale list but I need guidance on how to update such list. Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks.
Even if updating the GPS list, the performance is only bit improvement. The antenna/receiver used in these Fujitsu phones before the Snapdragon 600 ---- F-06E are not great to begin with
If you really want a faster phone GPS, then its time to find other phones
As for a flashable GPS locale config for other countries outside of Japan, it will be hard to find if it even exists

Restarting problems. Need a solution. Please ...
Hello, I bought my unlocked F-02E mobile in Japan this summer and I brought it to Spain. I have disabled some docomo apps but the pone keeps restarting. I couldn't find the way to update or download the V17 firmware upgrade because I don't have any Docomo SIM in order to download it. I don't know if there's some cooked rom available to flash it and get a solution to avoid annoying restarting problems when calling or after calling or using 3G data ... (it happens randomly). I use GSM only here in Spain but when I call with data enabled it also reboots sometimes
Neither I don't know if buying a new 128K micro SIM could help to avoid rebooting issues.
I'll wait for your solution.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best Regards

I can understand your frustration and pain.. I have gone through the same for past few months. I had verified with 64k, 128k and 256k sims. None of them fixed the issue. It reboots with any kind of sim. so buying a 128k sim will not help. But, only sim I have not verified is 'LTE sim with 3g/2g support'. It might fix the issue.
However as a workaround, I have modified some android props to suit Indian network conditions and the phone is much stable with a 64k sim now ! Still there were two reboots in three days(found the cause, will fix it) and it never rebooted during call ! Earlier it used to reboot 5-6 times a day. It used to reboot during/after calls, when kept idle, when I am cooking, etc...
Fix is to disable LTE on this phone and set some 3g/2g parameters. Additionally you can set some default locale and gps config too.
Please do the following tweaks and let us know the result.
Steps: (search the forum for appropriate links)
1. root your phone and mount /system as read/write. (must)
2. Now disable LTE and configure 3g/2g parameters: Add the following lines to "/system/build.prop" file. (can directly copy paste the following at end of the file)
# system props for telephony modules
# Disable LTE/4G
ro.config.lte=false
# Set default network to be 3g/2g auto (wcdma preferred)
ro.telephony.default_network=0
# set hsdpa/hsupa categories
ro.ril.hep=0
# hsxpa=2 signifies hsdpa and hsupa. you can leave it as 2.
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
# gprsclass=12 is maximum value it can have. all modern networks should support this, else as a conservative setting try 10.
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
# hsdpa=8 and hsupa=6 signifies 7.2mbps dowenload/5.76mbps upload. If your network supports it, leave it as it is. else try 6/4 for these values
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
# some signal strength, power tweaks
ro.ril.att.feature=1
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=1
ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=1
# fixes connectivity issues, my phone used to loose network very often.
ro.ril.enable.dtm=0
ro.ril.enable.a53=0
# believed to be signal strength tweaks
ro.ril.enable.ncell.ind=1
ro.telephony.ril.v3=signalstrength,singlepdp,skipbrokendatacal
# better voice quality
ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1
3. Now set gps settings in build.prop. Add the following lines to "/system/build.prop" file. (can directly copy paste to the file)
# AGPS mode set
ro.ril.def.agps.mode=2
ro.ril.def.agps.feature=1
4. Now change locale settings. (So that when you do a factory reset, it does not show you japanese text) Find out following props and change it. (in "/system/build.prop" )
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
5. Now lets fix gps settings: (replace contents of "/system/etc/gps.conf" with the following). you should set NTP_SERVERS for your region. rest of the things should be fine for your region.
NTP_SERVER=asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.asia.pool.ntp.org

6. Now, DO A FACTORY RESET. AND PLS DO NOT DISABLE ANY DOCOMO APPS. Use the phone for couple of days and if it's stable, start disabling docomo apps.
Please do let me know if it helped.
Note: still you might see a reboot, as I had seen two reboots in last three days. Found the cause, fixed it and device is under test again Let's hope no more reboots on this device.
PS: I hate this device so much, if it reboots again I will throw it out of the window.
How can some one release a device without proper verification ? a docomo user might face same issues while in international roaming !
Thank you
Thank you very much!. I will try these steps you explain but I guess I'm going to buy another mobile because it's not very useful to have a phone which cannot get Android updates and cannot use 3G data without rebooting.
I'm planning to buy a Moto G which is made by Google and they say that Android 4.4 update is sure at the beginning of 2014. And it's cheap and has good specifications
I also had problems of not being able to use 3g data without rebooting. These steps would solve it too don't disable any DoCoMo apps.
But software update is a real prob..

New Software Update V19R50D?
Hello,
I've seen there's a new nttdocomo software update compilation (V19R50D) and I've read somewhere this update solves rebooting (I read it on a japanese page translated thanks to Microsoft Bing Translator ).
Do you know if there's any way to update software without nttdocomo SIM and outside of Japan?. I've searched but I haven't find any way :crying:
Anyway, I'll buy a new Google device too because my F-02E, although there's a nice device with great specs, it's unuseful if you cannot call without restarting or surfe the web with at least 3G data.
Thanks!

As you might know, our LG G2 is pretty slow when it comes to GPS. The reasons are both software and hardware. Before definitively losing your phone warranty by fixing the contacts on the antenna cover and in the end having the same problems (the software) I strongly recommend try this configuration.
The file to edit is /system/etc/gps.conf
Just edit that file using a root explorer. Remember to read the first line and make the changes according to your country.

# the time server, replace the "ro"
# with your country code.
# One ntp is all we need.

For those having problems editing gps.conf, I have attached my own. Just replace the "ro" (Romania) in the first 2 lines of the file with your country code.
i used to have those problems until change my sim card, with my old sim card it take a long time to lock GPS and then it loose the signal constantly, but after change the sim card, it have a perfect lock time and a perfect signal accuracy
With 5.0.2 I get a lock within 10 seconds with an accuracy of 3 meters. Pretty good, I'd say.

I created new gps.conf by coping the text from the code in op and changed my country code, also there is gps.conf attached in op for reference

I copied the above file and it overrides the existing one, out of interest the locations icon does not appear even when GPS is connected!

Why don't you just use fastergps from playstore for the?
I personally prefer least apps installed as possible so I'll edit gps.conf.
Thanks! This helped for sure! GPS icon used to take 5 mins to light up, now its 5 seconds, but even then it's losing me occasionally.
The gps on this phone is one of the few weak links on this phone and it can still be frustrating, but at least it's less frustrating haha
you think ima flash this man? you trying to track me all day lonn are you? freakin perv no way

sorry, I was just trying to be funny
My problem is that when I get the AGPS data, the positions of the Satilites in GPS Test are not same with the other guy who stands next to me and already has 3D fix. For example, on the other guy's phone, GPS Test shows that Sat #23 is at the center, while on my phone it's at some place far from the center. Thus, GPS Test shows 20+ satilites in view, but usualy 0~1 in use. However, when I clean up AGPS data and let the phone search for sat signal, it could usually find more than 6 at the same position.
Any idea on why this happens?

I wonder if you're on to something. My GPS, yet again, threw me under the bus today. Google Maps showed a fix within once city block while I drove for an hour, following the nav. Suddenly it shows me 20 minutes past my destination lol
Anyway, I know this has nothing to do with the OP except that this is what he was trying to fix. (Pun intended). But I am left wondering if these settings are telling the phone to "trust" the same GPS fix more instead of help the GPS actually get a more accurate fix?

Well my problem is driving me crazy, as I'm playing Ingress.
Firstly, if you use GPS Test, or GPS Status, you can see a "satellite map" showing the position of satellites on the sky. My problem here is that the map on my phone looks very different with other's, when I get no fix while he gets 3D fix. This should have something to do with how the phone uses the AGPS data.
Secondly, my phone often loses all satellites suddenly. I can understand it if I walk from a place with clear & open sky view into a forest of tall building, but actually it doesn't behave in that way ---- it's opposite!! The phone can keep 3D fix even when there are a lot of 30+ floor building around, but it can also lose GPS lock when I walk along a street with open sky. When this happens, I usually open GPS Test, and see a satellite map that is different with the one when I have 3D fix.
SEE POST #4 FOR MY FIX
Got Phone a few days ago and have been trying a few ROMs. Across the board with all ROMs I seem to have GPS issue. I use GPS Status and Toolbox to see when my GPS has found enough satellites to acquire my location...then I can run Google Maps/Navigation.
Is there a fix for this? I'll take any information I can get.
Thanks

Try it.
I wrote permissions to rw-r--r--
Didn't work
Tried dailing *#*#46360000#*#* and then just disable/re-emable background resource control option.
I tried that with reboots between every step?
No luck?. The GPS works just once then not again. On every ROM I've tried.
Edit: flashed MODEM 419D. Will test. 1st test good a couple miles away, but first run always is good after a flash. Will update if this modem fixes problem for good.
Edit ² - FIXED (so I thought) Flashing modem fixed GPS (& BT headset) issue. Multiple Reboots and tests confirmed.
Modem(s) found here: (under developer)

Edit ³ - by 4:30pm GPS stopped working. Re-Flashed modem and still no GPS lock again.
First, Thanks to Faith27, as that was a close solution to my problem. Changing my GPS.conf file was a good solution to my issue. However, GPS locking can be narrowed down to your physical location. My GPS locking is pretty quick now. I changed my GPS.conf file according to THIS article with preconfigured GPS.conf downloadable files and I am finally happy with my Le Max 2 as GPS is a necessity.
Nice, I 'll try on mine. Mine doesn't found any location at all, just maybe the wifi on the streets. But I'm too sad to give up.
