Hi
Seem to be havin a great deal of problems getting the GPS to start in programs, like TOMTOM and google maps. I have installed and tried gpsplex and gps gate. and have had some connection success then nothing.
What are the best settings to have the com port on or none or gpd etc.
When updating gps position it will do sometimes then it says failed to save then it does sometimes.
Getting tired of this phone and weakening for the nexus one or back to apple.
search the forum you will find it.

Set com port 4 in External gps,then set gpsgate. Enter Intenal gps and download(check your internet connection if on , if not, try once again,if still no positive result , soft-reset,try again.) After getting gps-data, power on gpsgate, check for incoming data(OK),power on tomtom, get in open air until you got a gps-fix(depending on certain factors it can take a while 2-3 minutes), everything should be fine.
Let me know your progress(or not).
Hi
Thanks for the reply, ended up doing a fresh install of everything and after boot gps worked first time with google maps with gps on default setting of GPD9 in external gps setting, did the internal gps update over wireless lan as it seemed to work better than cell connection.
Installed GPSMod driver and bingo tomtom found it and everything ok.
But later after a few active sync sessions i went outside and again nothing off both google and tomtom, no sats found. Did a power down and again everything seemed to work, strange !!!. So that where im at, a not to reliable gps connection.

I was really frustrated with gps disconnections at first, was the only thing that bothered me in this phone, other than that i loved it. The problem is clearly a matter of rom's radio. When i had a rom with radio version 5005.1600.05 i had disconnection in GSM phone mode but steady signal and no disconnections in HSDPA mode. Problem fixed in 3G/HSDPA mode. Since i flased a rom with radio version 5005.1700.05 i had never gps disconnection problems in both GSM/3G mode. Problem gone!
If you have the stock rom installed, try turning the phone to 3G/HSDPA mode if it's in GSM and check again. But i advise you to install a rom with 5005.1600.05 radio version, great call sound quality and great satelite connection. I personaly found this rom Revamped Release 5 Loaded Radio 5005.1700.05 05/21/2010 best for me and will stick with it for a while.
The phone is ok, this is not a hardware issue it's clearly a matter of radio driver. Don't quit on this phone yet, it's a great device if you can cope with charging every day . But this is the case more or less with big screen-1ghz-small capacity battery phones, except if they have led screen
guys, i can't let the gps using satellite in my optimus one to work...
always says "Waiting for location" .... like using the carhome or the navigation bundled applications pre-installed...
any fix please?
You have to wait for a lock. That's normal.
Also, Try waiting for a lock outdoors. GPS signals aren't as strong as the ones used in SMS and stuff.
@ kp
ive tried waiting for quite a long time but nothing happened...tried also outdoor but the same...
ive tried using GPS Test application to located GPS Satellites, and indeed it can locate some with low to average signals...but when i am going to use the pre-installed applications for tracking my location, it still can't.
ive searched the net and someone also is having the same problem using LG Optimus One as well.... >.<
Depending on your firmware this might be a bug. There were GPS problemes reported with certain firmwares. But you have to be patient too, because sometimes it takes a while until 2 or more satellites are found and locked.
You can try using free app like "Ulysse Gizmos" on monitoring gps, especially on lockon status.
& also try this tips to access the internal gps test menu @ link: goo.gl/ZFs6D
Our LG Optimus One P500 code is 3845#*500#
Do let us know how it goes.
Good luck!
I use the P500 whitout a data connection. So does have a sense set the gps in A-GPS or if i have the data not active i have to set it in a GPS Standalone?
restart phone and try again
are u using da stock rom?
@Hesediel
If you don't have data conection you cann't receive any maps, but it's no problem to use a-GPS. But without data you will simply have the geo-data, no maps. So that seems to make no sense.

Yes but i would like to buy an offline navigator like sygic, copilot, ndrive, something like that not the google maps/navigatopr for now, so it's better i use gps as standalone or is the same setting it as a-gps ms based?
it's a known problem.
I've got a p500 without data connection (I'm using wi-fi only).
The first week after flashing my phone the gps works fine.
Then afer a week the gps fix begins to be sloooow.
After a month it is very slow.
So I have to do an hard reset to turn the gps works well again.
Any utility (like gps status) that try to reset the gsp... fail.
The only known solution... is a ... sadly... hard reset.
I hope the someone will be able to write an application to do the same thing like the gps hard reset.
Use fasterfix, you can find this in android market.just search for "fasterfix"
Requires root, busybox and data connection during the initial GPS lock time.
Your gps will get a fix within seconds.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
I have a problem with custom rom ( openoptimus) and gps.It takes to much time to lock to gps and sometimes i have to reset the phone in order to work...I have download the faster fix but it hasnet work

Well, i have the same problem and used the same solution. But now I just wait. Sometimes I "cold start" gps with GPS Status or even the "hidden" gps test menu and after waiting a little or a lot (30s or 10min) I get GPS fix. Anyway, restarting the phone seems to work well too.
Hey everybody
I hope I can get some help from you guys.. I got this issue that I started to get into the running and started to need more of my gps to track my training and Ive noticed this weird behaviour of my gps.. It just wont even search for satellites whenever the 3g is on (you know the alert that says searching for gps).. installed the GPS checker to see if there was no satellites or something but it wont even search for them whenever I have the 3g on.. I found that the GPS works only if I disable the Mobile Data and restart my phone.. So I cant have both at the same time.. the minute I enable the 3g data it stops working and I have all the GPS options checked at the configuration and the wifi 3g assist.. What could be causing this?
Please let me know if some of you guys have some issue like this.. I have JellyBam 9.0.0 cyanogen mod based 10.1 and baseband XXXKI4

If you don't have this issue with a stock ROM, its probably a bug in the Jellybam ROM. Have you done a clean install? Since Jellybam has been banned from XDA, you probably won't get support for that ROM here. Maybe you should try contacting the dev of the ROM on their forum.

I tried the Omega stock V24 and had the exact same issue..
There's a number of GPS 'fixes' on here, I suggest you search for the threads containing those fixes & try some of them.
Hi!
I just want to share my workaround having same problem as this. After configuring my gps.conf as i've posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713&page=77, all went smoothly and fast GPS lock for just about 5 - 15 sec, even on a cloudy or rainy day. Then last Tuesday morning, as soon as the mobile data got connected it cuts the GPS. In short, GPS & mobile data won't run simultaneously. I ran a series of reboot, shutdown, clean up... then as much as i don't want to, i ended up reflashing/reinstalling everything but to no avail! Now, since everything is fresh w/ my S2, but still had same problem. I now zeroed in the problem to how my mobile data connects. I didn't think of this before because everything works perfectly fine. Anyway, this time i changed the Network mode from "WCDMA only" to "GSM only". Finally! it works! problem solved.
So far as of this writing, both the GPS & mobile data connection are working simulteously. Only drawback are: (1) I can't browse the net using the "GSM only" mode because of the bandwidth limitation, but works ok w/ Waze app. (2) If i switched & connected to mobile data using "WCDMA only" mode, i need to switch again to "GSM only" mode & restart the phone in order for the GPS to works again.
I don't know, but i'm thinking if our telco here has something to do why I had this problem. Maybe they change some configuration... I dunno.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. Searching forum and the internet without results.
Last week I spent a lot of time with my SGS2. The problem occurs when gps and mobile internet data are used at the same time, but only when the phone use 3G or H+ standard.
When mobile data are transmitted on E/2G there is no problem at all. The issue with gps is that when I drive car and I'm in one location at the city (every day at the same place) the gps icon disappeared and no navigation at all. This is quite big square around 2x2 km. After I leave the area I have to turn off and on the phone and everything works ok, even when mobile data 3G/H+ are transmitted.
So described problem occurs only at the specific area. I don't know what cause the issue. After next researching I discovered, that gps disapeared ONLY WHEN THE PHONE USES UMTS 2100 MHz. In the service menu I mark only UMTS 900 MHz and the gps works very good. This time mobile data 3G/H+ are used simultaneusly with gps and everything is ok.
So the problem is olny when we are connected to BTS at 2100 MHz and only at the specific area. It seems that some kind of 2100 MHz signal intereferences wiht gps circuit maybe. I'm not a proffesionalist, I only suppose that.
Maybe somebody will find the complete solution with that.
My problem is at the cetral of Poland. I tried a lot of firmwares, modem drivers, gps.conf modifications. Nothing. Zero results.

Hmmm... it seems our telco here has something to do w/ my concern. Today, simultaneously my S2's GPS & 3G/H+ are working perfectly fine. I didn't do any reconfiguration w/ my S2, i just tried to switch how my mobile data connects, from "GSM only" to "WCDMA only".

Hello everyone!
This is my first post and I apologise for my english
I have very big problem with GPS connect. I was trying probably everything and I haven't idea how to fix it.
To the point: when I'm staying in one place and not moving, GPS fixing in few seconds. But few minutes later (1-2) or when I move few meters, HOX+ losing connection with sateliltes and not want connect once again.
I was installed GPS Test and is seeing some satellites, but not want to fix or connect is losing in few minutes.
I was installed: GPS Test, GPS Fix, Faster Fix and nothing. I was installed Venom ViperX+, Revolution HD and still the same. I tried this trick ( YouTube v=NfH48nbCFE4 ) with GPS antenna but isn't better...
My HOX+:
Rom: Venom ViperX+ 2.0.3 (on 2.01 and 2.0.2 was the same problem)
Android 4.2.2, Kernel 3.1.10-g7f360be, Hboot 1.72, Radio 3.1204.171.33
Best regards

I dunno but try changing kernel, i use elite kernel... i had the same rom but changed it due to lag d)
Which apps that you use have problem with GPS connection?
I remember I used a speedometer tool on my HOX+. After turning on, I waited few minutes for gps signal. It stayed on "waiting for gps fix". But when I opened Endomondo, this fix came immediately.
Maybe it really depends on the app that uses GPS.

I have problem on any app - Google Maps, Google Navigation, Sygic, GPS Test, GPS Fix, Real Time GPS Tracker and few others.
Now I'm making backup's and I will try change kernel...
EDIT:
I flashed Elite Kernel and still the same
Tommorow I will try to install another ROM, but I slowly losing hope...
It's possible that some app "blocking" or something wrong doing with connection?
Edit 2:
OK. I installed Revolution HD and was the same. Flash kernel to Elite and still nothing better.
I returned to ViperX+ with "standard" kernel, I opened phone and "improved" GPS antenna and.... is better! More satellites, faster fix, better signal, but still sometimes losing connection for few seconds (and connecting again which earlier was impossible)...
Hello,
I get a GPS fix within 10 seconds. But with Maps, however, the signal jumps back and forth. Also, the signal does not show exactly the location, or a few meters away. These problems are probably also known to the UMI users. Somehow I have read what of MTK tools, where this problem can be fixed. Can someone post a tutorial, or link?
Thx.
Hi, looking forward to fix the same issue... Any news?

Gday mate,
I was having similar issues with my GPS jumping to the street next to me whilst driving and getting itself all turned around. The other issue I had was bluetooth would not connecting to my car, so I tried a few things on this list: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/fix-nougat-bluetooth-issues/
Specifically what seemed to fix my bluetooth AND GPS was this: (I also set the passcode on the car to '0000')
"This is a really good fix, confirmed to work by many people. To reset your Bluetooth settings, fire up the Settings app, and locate and tap on Backup & reset option. Now, touch ‘Network settings reset’, and then ‘Reset settings’. Confirm this on next screen. Note: This will reset all your settings related to WiFi, Bluetooth and mobile data. Keep that in mind. If you need WiFi urgently, then better do this later on."
The above made my GPS a bit more stable. Since then I have updated the device to the latest beta: PLUS.V3.02_20170208_c239v55_kw_u3_no-DB and GPS is working perfect now. Link from bencebacsi on UMi Forum: http://www.mediafire.com/file/hh1069alx7v8i6i/PLUS.V3.02_20170208_c239v55_kw_u3_no-DB.rar
Best of luck mate!

It's not usable for this problem.
I tested Faster GPS after rooted, MTK tools, Engineering Mode, and another more tools and tricks, and nothing helped me with better gps signal on my UMI plus.
In enginneering mode I deleted data from hot, cold, warm and full gps start without A-GPS started, A set position from detected position, download new satellites positions, then start A-GPS and it was same how before. GPS signal on Mediatek chipset is bad.
Sometimes I have fixed 12 satellites, another time zero satellites. Gps signal jumping from zero to good in the car, or outdoor.
