Do you see the Galileo satellites on your Honor 9 phone GPS app ?
All online databases say Honor 9 does not support Galileo reception,
but the XML config file in vendor.img has it enabled
and the hardware (Broadcom BCM4774) is Galileo-capable.
Now i'm confused and want to hear about the experience of the
real phone owners.
i don't think it supports it as currently my honor 9 only shows GPS, GLONASS, and BEIDOU, and huawei might have disabled it just to differentiate between the P10.
Have you tried changing the GPS settings to just connect to GPS satelittes only?

Honor 9 has EnableGalileo="true" in /etc/gps4774config.xml
Code:
<gll_features
EnableLowPowerPmm="true"
EnableOnChipMiCtrl="true"
EnableInternalBlanking="true"
EnableGalileo="true"
/>
I am using the GPS Test app (on Mate 9 with the same gps4774config.xml) and it looks that (obviously i see less chinese satellites in Europe)

Which program did you use for testing GPS ?

The new update apparantly supports GLONASS, however I've read this:
To save power, the GLONASS receiver is only activated in problematic locations, such as in an urban environment with high rise buildings. Therefore, if you are in an open sky environment where there are enough GPS satellites available to calculate a good accuracy position, GLONASS will automatically be switched off temporarily to enhance the battery lifetime.
When using Endomondo the gps is even worse than my Galaxy S (which pretty much has a crappy GPS). I've tried this using my 2 devices side by side.
Is there a way to either improve the GPS or to forcefully enable GLONASS?
edit: i've analysed my GPX and it appears that about every 5 minutes the GPS signal is lost??? Anyone has any info on this (and maybe even a fix).
GLONASS is quite new, but nice to see it in Sony Ericsson.
GLONASS is automatic and it is not so popular, because only newest SE Xperia phones have its chip. So, there isn't any app yet about GLONASS, at least I haven't found.
I have used my phone's, SE Live with Walkman, GPS in a bigger city without problems. I used app GPS Test(from Market) to check, which GPS is being used. According to me, GLONASS is used only, if you see satellites numbers between 65 and 88.

As far as I know GLONASS is transparent accessible for any application through the android gps-api. So no need for special treadment of GLONASS for the applications.
My xperia active (firmware .42) use GLONASS all the time according to GPS TEST. It always show me satellites between 65 and 88.
GPS Fix is very fast (with mobile data enabled) and accurateness of the gps signal is the best I ever had.

I meant, that application about GLONASS, turning it on and so. I might have said incorrectly.
But indeed, all applications, which use GPS, have also access to GLONASS.
Yes, but according to SE, it seems to only use the GLONASS in urban environements. As I use this device for running, it would be nice to have an "always on" function. I don't really care about battery.
Also: anyone tried to use a tracking application to track the GPS (like mytracks, rungps, ...)? GPS test is a pretty static application and works fine to determine if you get a fast fix but not if there is a tracking issue.
i have the same problem to ..gps signal lost every 3-5 minutes in big city ..
even my x8 have better signal (never lost a signal) i'm using papago~
i just heard about GLONASS (recently on your thread that is)
and i don't even know that it have on our phone !
known issue apparantly since last update (for officials roms)

Hi guys, i just bought SGS3 in Australia. Everything is perfect and i notice that i can't find AGPS option in my setting ( i saw one picture online that with AGPS option). I reread what samsung said in SGS3 box, I can't find AGPS as well, but accidently, i find GLONASS/ How's ur devices, do they have AGPS or GLONASS?
hello,
On my, i have gps/glonass on writed on the box.
For an appli for AGPS , you can find it on the google play (like gps status).
For the glonass, i don't know if it's possible to connect on it.(i think it depend on the gps appli and maybe the country , only in Russia ?).
Bye
PS: After a little search, i found that the GPS and the GLONASS are active in same time .Now it seems you can find/use 55 active satellites instead of 31 with GPS alone and 24 with GLONASS alone

AGPS = settings Location Services Use Wireless Networks .
Glonass its built in to the cpu .

GPS (USA), Glonass (Russia) and the upcoming Galileo (EU) are different protocols provided by different satellites with different features.
But for everything you as a consumer and user care they are the same.
It's just that consumers are used to it being GPS so they call it that way even if it's incorrect.
If your boss,teacher,friend, ... tells you to google something he means to search on the net and (usually) does not actually enforce you to use the Google search.
In technical terms the app couldn't care less about what country and protocol provides the data, I don't think it even could see the difference (except when polling raw data)
It's very easy to check if Glonass works as expected; just fire up a GPS-Test app (e.g. 'GPS Test') and check the amount of satellites it uses.
GPS is designed with 24-30 satellites total in orbit and as such provides visibility to a mimumum of 4 and a maximum of 12 satellites in clear area.
Glonass has roughly the same amount. When holding my phone against the window I get a (more or less) immediate fix on 17 satellites which is impossible with only GPS.
AGPS is something totally different which regroups network-based GPS with satellite-based GPS, accelerometers and satellite trajectory prediction to allow you to get an approximate fix when it would otherwise not be possible (e.g. underground) and to accelerate the time-to-fix.
AGPS is a combination of gps + mobile network data. With the GS3 you get gps + glonas + mobile networks + wireless networks + sensors (I assume barometer + magnetometer) all working together. I get very good positioning even indoors.

Glonass satellites are detected automatically. I'm in nz and now pick up 17 sats rather than the 12 on previous devices using GPS sats only. TIFF is also excellent, a matter of seconds only for a cold start.

Im pretty sure all S3s have aGPS (Assisted GPS).
Its not really designed as an accurate positioning system on its own - it was originally designed as a clever means to get faster GPS fix by using cell network and/or WiFi provided time and location.
It can also be used to provide less accurate location data to mobile apps (eg GMaps), without GPS.
Per a previous post if you have
System Settings->Location Services->Use Wireless Networks
checked, then you have enabled aGPS
Its a pretty standard thing on most smartphones these days.

Thanks for your answering now i am sure my device have aGPS !
I am looking at buying a mi pad 4 as a present, but I'm looking for a tablet with GPS function.
I note the wifi version does not have GPS, but I believe the LTE version does.
My question is:- As the 4G bands are not the UK bands, I don't believe a UK SIM will work in the device, therefore will the GPS work in the UK, if there is no SIM installed?
Yest, GPS will work.

Wich Provider and whick LTE Bands use your Provider?
GPS will work without Sim Card
The uk providers use either band 3 (1800mhz), 7 (2600mhz) & all four providers use band 20 (800mhz).
my current provider uses only band 20, but I'm willing to swap
"Yest, GPS will work."
"GPS will work without Sim Card"
Unless it does not. Eg: the GPS testing application shows good reception and correct coordinates, but google maps (and some other apps) cannot use it, and there really is no single answer why and how to fix it.
I have read about the error in drivers.

I think is SW issue. Actually, app related one. Probably some xiaomi implementation is to blame but if some app work as they should (here maps for me) and others don't (your local weather that work just fine on moto x play with aosp extended) then it should be possible to fix this on the app side.

Definitely, I'm positive though the google won't touch their maps or chrome apps to fix them on non-certified platform
Hi,
today i got my Mate 20 Pro, Modell LYA-AL10 - Build: 9.0.0.161 (C00E155R1P20) GPU Turbo.
Its the 256GB Modell.
So VolTE is there, but Wifi Calling is completely missing there.
Switched my both cards from Note 9, where Wifi Calling was fine and working.
So i think it is not integrated in this build?
On HiSuite i get the message: You are on the newest Developer Build?
My Device is from TradingShenzen - shipped to Germany.
Have someone a fix or help to get this important service running?
It is not in the Wifi or Phone app settings.
Thanks
I know this might require root, which I am more than willing to do. But is there a process or a magisk module that can activate 5G on unsupported countries?
(btw im from PH)
Hey, still no way for the moment
Google geolocked it and EFSTool isn't working with tensor but devs are (i hope) working on it !
I'll try to find a way when i got anytime too
that's too bad. suddenly had no urge to root anymore :/
VoLTE is working fine and gives upto 200mbps which is good enough for internet to smartphone and hotspot. 5g will only make your battery consumption high.
Root is the only method the 4g VoLTE works and a lot of developers did their best to come up with the perfect magisk modules. So far so good but yes I understand how it feels when your handset is capable of 5g and google don't care.

Install the below module through Magisk and reboot (there are two of them, start with 0.4A and see if that works for you, if not, try the other one), then make sure to enable VoLTE in settings:
