Hi,
I suffered from the Oreo slow GPS fixing issue + not updating on Waze / Maps routes.
Finally, using some advices somewhere and a work done for Mi5 by @ianhughes74 I made one for the OPX, which have gps.conf in /etc not /etc/vendor & lack of gps_debug.conf file.
The module just double push the same file named gps.conf & gps_debug.conf in the right folder.
Instruction :
- Just flash the zip via Magisk
- Cut Location
- Power Off device
- Boot device
- Open Maps and activate Location. Verify it's on high accuracy (calibrating compass can help)
- Use a GPS test app : Clear and update AGPS, then see if it's better for GPS fix
Anyone to confirm that it work better with that module flashed via Magisk?
Thanks !
:laugh:
EDIT Sept 18 :
- Seems to work on Pie too
- If problem still persists for some, note that GPS.CONF file is different in E1003 : Change "Device capability" : 0x37 (instead of 0x31)
NTP server can be different too.
Additionnal thanks for their precious input : @csillagguru @amoyse
Thx, i will test and report later

I do not now what HAD TO BE, but this one I did flash via Magisk, and now:
the GPS locks quicker, and...
hmm, i think now GPS eats less power, so my car charger can keep up, and charges 1% per 1 hour (before it was 5-10% discharge per hour) with 1028 mAh input.
the way to test gps is in device only mode using gpstest app.

I'm pretty sure it really works better now. Not sure it will stay as it is but, it's pretty noticeable. For,ex, now, I open Waze, set direction, launch route and if I'm outside, it starts (with the arrow I mean) within seconds (sometimes 2sec and max 10).

that's good it works for you better but that is not how you test gps.conf

GPS Test app now locate me in less than a minute at my office window. Not as good as on OOS, but not far from it.
I just don't open GPS App and clear AGPS anymore to be sure I don't re bug my phone !
Works for Pie too :
Note that stuff and change manually if problem still persists for some :
GPS.CONF file is different in E1003 : Device capability : 0x37 (instead of 0x31)

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?

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

Hi all,
I like the DSC rom very much, using it since 1.0 on my streak. Thanks for your great work!
During my holiday I noticed a problem with GPS (with DSC 1.4), which wasn't there before. Now on 1.5 the problem still exists. Now I hope, you can help me.
When I start a navigation software (Navigon or Locus pro) the GPS symbol appears. After getting a GPS fix, the symbol dissapears for a glimpse, reappears and the search for a GPS fix starts again. With the app "GPS status" there is the same problem, if I start it afterwards.
The only way to get a steady GPS fix is to deactivate/reactivate GPS in android menu and then start "GPS status". If I afterwards start Navigon or Locus Pro, GPS doesn't work anymore.
I used the search, so I can say:
- No, I don't use any arabic patch
- No, I don't have 3d chainfire driver installed
- I wiped dalvik cache every time I updated ROMs
- Post #626 in DSC developer thread describes the same problem I think, but I didn't find a solution
I tried to post my question in DSC developer thread, but wasn't allowed to.
Hope you can help me. Thanks!

try using fastergps ... and select your appropriate region... maybe the pool server is mismatched... once you have setup the pool server for your region.. use gps test ... and see if the satellite getting stable or not.. usually it takes bout 2 3 minutes to stabilize itself... once you see a steady feet number... you can use your navigation software back..
Yes, I remember this reported.
Most probably it's not related to ROM version, but to some error in system gps module.
I personally experienced this once (reboot helped), but logs gave me no information.
All I figured that time - my system was low on mem and maybe gps lib has mem allocation errors. But this is only a guess.
I use GPS on daily basic, but also reboot device too frequently to be a trusted source for this case, sorry.
Also, just in case -
would you run
su
getprop | grep -c ""
in terminal emulator
and tell the number it'll show?
Thank you for your help, I think I have nailed it down!
First I have set my area in fastergps, then I started gps test. It showed the same on/on/on/off problem as before.
Checked available space: 1.1 Gb internal memory, 3.2 Gb sd card.
Then I ran terminal emulator:
broken gps: 224
right after reboot: 220
after running gps tester: 222
after running navigon, locus, google maps: 222
after some minutes of playing around, it was broken again: 222
right after next reboot: 204
after playing around (gps still working): 220
broken again: 220
Then I thought about all installed apps which are accessing gps. There I think was the problem. The app "Regen Alarm OSM Plus" has the option to get the position via gps or via network. Since I deactivated the gps option, I didn't have any problems till now. For verifying that thought, i reactivated the gps option in that app, with the result of immediately having broken gps again. So most likely this was the cause.
Thanks for your help!
nice.. if anything similar happen again.. we would ask them to check this thread
I've had a similar problem but it was when I installed 3D chainfire. When I install the driver it would remove the navigation app that comes stock with google maps. But there was a work around to this by going through google maps and clicking on the arrow icon to navigate but then the GPS icon doesn't appear and the bottom it seems to be locating GPS signal as it says, "GPS locating..." and continues for a while unless i have wifi or use my 3G thats the only way the location can be shown but its not constant as in the dot doesn't really move but refreshes with the signal. didn't really know how to fix this so I took off 3d chainfire
I have a p760 and I found gps performance are very bad without agps.
To get an offline fix it took 10+ minutes, in the same conditions my old acer s120 got it in less than 2 minutes.

I have similar problem, fix is slow and not stable, even with agps, using nav aps in car is imposible.
I've installed GPS Status to help fix faster but it didnt helped much.
Any one found a solution for this?
I have the same problem, fix is fast but GPS connection is not stable. Tried install another navigation but doesn't work.
If youre rooted try to install this app FasterGPS
Thanks is much better, but not perfect. Connected with 6-10 satellite have low quality signal(in GPS test ~20 SNR), localization is not ideal. Any ideas ? Sorry for my english
Also, if your rooted, I recommend Pimp My Rom (alpha) from the Play Store. It has lots of useful tweaks, but it also allows you to get the correct GPS config file for your country. As my phone was from Taiwan, it would have the config files for that country and not the UK - where I am. Correct location = Faster connection.
You just get the app then move to the 'Tools' tab then scroll to the bottom, One up from that should be the GPS Configuration, choose your region then country and 'Apply Selected Tweak'. It only takes a few seconds and it makes sure your GPS is configured for your country.
Hopefully this helps out.
I just geve up with fixing GPS, i factory reseted the device, and even uploaded software using "emergency software recovery" from LG tool to try all options, but no success.
Today phone was sent to the service center. Now waiting for the results.
==========================================================
Phone is back from service, and it works now
Fix in less then 10 sec and stable.
Service center replaced back side of the phone (not the battery cover ), there are aerials there i think.
I bought HDC Storm MX phone from China. It has MT6589 quad-core (if that changes anything). It had all the chinese apps, but I removed them, and flashed gapps, and everything is working great, except the gps.
It just cant get a lock on anything. After waiting a few minutes, it just found 2 sattelites, but didnt lock on them.
It's rooted, and I already tried changing "gps.conf" file, but it didn't help.
I attached the screen I get, when I am using GPS Status.
I dont know what the second icon from the left side in the status bar means.
How can I fix this, as there are probably no custom roms for this device?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

I found the solution. None of the apps from google play worked. Tried gps doctor, fastergps, gps fix etc.
Maybe "gps.conf" trick works when you get partial gps fix, but it didn't for me at the time.
Even reseting and downloading A-GPS data didn't help me.
In the end, the fix was very easy, I just didn't think of that at first..
So if anyone needs it:
1. screen) Settings -> Location access,
2. screen) Location access -> click on "GPS satellites",
3. screen) Enable both GPS EPO and A-GPS,
4. screen) In EPO Settings check the auto download, and click the Download button.
That's it. It helped for me, I get a GPS fix in Waze now in 3-10 seconds.
I read about EPO, but couldn't find it in the settings.
Hope that helps.
Cheers.
Thank you very much, been banging my head against the wall with this one. I have a mtk6589, Have been using Android since the G1 and I some overlooked the basics...

Be aware that AGPS and EPO will consume data traffic. Usually not too much - but keep an eye on the data usage for a few days to get a notion of the ammount.
HDC storm mx - howto flash the gapps - recovery mode in Chinese?
I entered the recovery mode hoping I could install the gapps zip file.
But the menu is in Chinese, no idea what I should select!
In fact, the only way I got out of this factory mode was by removing the battery...
I tried to simply install the apps one by one, but the installs all failed.
Advice is most welcomed, but please with the details, if possible.
thanks,
guy

How I did it - I had a second phone with Google Translate installed. I used the option to capture picture and translate text in it.
I don't remember which options from the top I had to choose, but it worked out fine with that method. First I flashed ClockWorkMod (cwm) recovery, and from that point on I had everything in english.
Which CWM for HDC STORM MX
COOL IDEA!
which CWM did you use?

I don't really remember which one I used, but I guess it had to be the one in this file - http://www.putlocker.com/file/79BB23D5D744EC65 (as HDC Storm MX is a rebranded Firefly II)
As the file is big, and I can't check it at the moment, I will download it and take a look in the next hour or so
partial fix
This works to get a quick fix and start navigating...but I have the problem that gps cant seem to keep a lock on. it will show my correct location, and a few secs later its off by a few streets....it will lock on...and lose.
Any suggestions?
it also influences other apps using gps like sports trackers. here something strange(r) happens: it will have mapped my route ACCURATELY, but the distance calculation will be off by A LOT. A 7km run got logged as 55km, a 30km bike ride was shown as 325km. those differences are huge. ive tried endomondo and runtastic - same issues.

It might be related to framework-res.apk
Sometime the OEM modified the map and geo redirection to baidu, user who want to use Google Maps with GPS need to decompile framework-res.apk and change the following properties to
<string name="config_networkLocationProviderPackageName">com.google.android.location</string>
<string name="config_geocodeProviderPackageName">com.google.android.location</string>
in res\values\strings.xml
Did you find a solution for this ?

another variation
I have a similar problem with my Star N9599T (MediaTek MT6589T SoC) in that it has 11 to 31 satellites 'in view' but fails to get a lock.
I have
* used fasterGPS to modify /system/etc/gps.conf
* permitted access to location in settings
* activated download for EPO & A-GPS in settings
* deleted /data/misc/mtkgps.dat & rebooted
* tried several things in MobileUncle>engineer_mode>location
* reset A-GPS in GPS Status
The satellites in view in GPS Test never change from 0.0 signal strength, even with 31 satellites in view.
/storage/sdcard0/GPS.LOG (covering several days) shows about 7 seconds with a lock.
The NMEA log shows what appears to be a lat/long position that stays stable to 0.001°
If anyone can point me to instructions for MobileUncle 'location' or gps.conf I would appreciate it, or if anyone knows what the actual problem is that would be good too
[update]
I unscrewed the inner back cover & checked inside. (just the black screws, but there is one under a tiny sticker at bottom right. Leave the brass one under the SDcard)
It all seemed clean but I blew gently through it all anyway, then found one slightly loose screw which I tightened.
Put it all back together (inner back cover is really awkward to get properly seated) & it works!
It was very slow to get a lock & I reset it several times before it would lock, but it held the lock while walking & got it straight back after I'd been on a bus. (using My Tracks so i can look afterwards)
One thing that it didn't like was switching to GPS Status & back again, it lost the lock for over a minute & was wrong by 25 metres when it got it back. I walked for 50 metres before the accuracy came back.
My HTC Wildfire S can also be slow to lock occasionally so I'm hoping it will be ok now.
.
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.

Just edit that file using a root explorer. Remember to read the first line and make the changes according to your country.

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 copied the above file and it overrides the existing one, out of interest the locations icon does not appear even when GPS is connected!
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
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

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.
