This situation sounds strange to me. I really would like to know if it is related to the stock ROM without there being a root kit for it... It sounds strange, sure, but 99% of us did not survive the upgrade with root. I unlocked my device and installed the rooted ROM to get things working snappy. But if you're not unlocking, that's out of the question for now.
The LTO file is in /data/gps/. However, it should be good for 7 days. See what its modification date is on the properties. Its download is controlled by the GPSD just like the xtra.bin on our Desires. Curiously, are you using my patch on the DHD? A lot of ROMs have it baked in already.
My last thought for now is to make sure that the files you copied over are readable to all users. That's in properties as well.
Had the same problem with last update. Had to download the agps (via gps status), turn the wifi off, reboot, then start gps status and let it flat in clear view, no movement for maybe few min, then the satellites started to appear. Later it was much faster, but couldn't get any in my car, suddenly yesterday I did 300 270mls in UK and MyTracks recorded the route so accurately that with decent enough zoom I can see driving on the proper side of the motorway! and most happened in 75mph for 6 hours or so.
I have success!!
The rain finally stopped so I could leave the prime outside for a while.
I first left it off for about 15 mins then went outside and turned it on with the wifi off ...
after about 5 mins it had 1 satellite in view but no fixes...
after about 10 mins it had 2 satellites in view but no fixes
it stayed like that for a while but I thought let me leave it...
after 20 mins with still 2 satellites I thought let me turn wifi on, it connected to the wifi and I left it again...
came back after 15 mins and BOOM 12 in view and 10 fixed so amazed and happy .
so after all that I tried it indoors after a little while and it worked as well .. got a fix within 15 seconds indoors 10 of 11 sats... really happy with that.
First pic is outdoors, second is indoors.
I applied the patch on my DHD and it seems to be worse off now.. was getting fixes within 10 - 13 seconds but now it takes about 30 - 50 seconds hopefully it settles down soon like the prime did after a while.
I really cant thank you enough for all the time and effort and the patch... dont think I would need a dongle now as it seems to be quicker and seeing more satellites then the DHD now.. but hopefully I can get to the bottom of that.
Update: I thought let me try reboot and see if it all still works and its now not as good as above after the boot... taking about 1.5 to 2 mins to get a fix outdoors and not really locking on indoors well it locks for about 1 seconds then drops *sigh* what is happening :S could it be that im in Australia and need diff settings in your patch? also would it matter if wifi is on or off?
how long would i need to keep it outdoors for? and should i reset agps data again and get new downloads or just leave it outdoors again?Location doesn't matter for this patches settings. It sounds like your cache didn't fully build up before you shut it off...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
how long would i need to keep it outdoors for? and should i reset agps data again and get new downloads or just leave it outdoors again?
hmm mine was out there for about 45 mins
any way I can manually download the cache and put it in the right location or check if its done?
if you reboot your prime does it take a while to link up again or does it find a lock quickly?
The change is discussed in the post above. The reason is simple: the use of intermediate locks is unnecessary because the antenna boost in the GPS Dongle allows for better reception.
The patch still has significance data processing, query times, etc.
I'll post another version of the patch ASAP. But for those want to give it a go with the dongle immediately, edit the gps.conf. Change:
INTERMEDIATE_POS=1 to INTERMEDIATE_POS=0
This didn't show any noticeable differences on my end, but you may also change:
ACCURACY_THRES=3000 to ACCURACY_THRES=3500
Let me know how it goes should you go this route.
Awesome... quick question, if you apply the dongle patch and if your out and about and dont have the dongle with you will it degrade the performance compared to the non dongle patch?
hope that makes sense.
Please add this note to the first post, I fear it will get lost in the thread otherwise.
Forgive me if you already have and I missed it!
I'm not sure if it's necessary because I made a custom patch (the alternate) and posted it to do exactly just that.
The extra variable really deals with weeding out bad readings from the GPSD itself. However, mapping software has libs designed to do just that. Why double do it? Higher number means higher threshold for accuracy. 5000 is the max and was the default when I started this a year or so ago.
What exactly would I need to be stating? Review the gps.conf section with those tow variables to see what I wrote a long time ago about it. Let's make sure not to double up on it. We don't need noobs screwing around and breaking crap.... That's my job!
v3.1 update - New Version
introduced the NO SSL version for Google build. Shows faster performance times.
v3.1(HELP WITH THE MAINTANENCE COSTS - DONATE A FEW BUCKS)
introduced my own NTP pools
repaired the LG Alternate build (was same as standard build, compilation error)
v3.0 (HELP WITH THE MAINTANENCE COSTS - DONATE A FEW BUCKS)
based on v2.2 configuration
has my own XTRA/AGPS server instead of Qualcomm
re-added two AGPS variables from v1.3 (two beta-testers saw instant results with these re-added)
re-added on USE SUPL variable from v1.3 (two beta-testers saw instant results with these re-added)

reduced redundancy in NTP and XTRA (unnecessary entries)
added newly located SUPL server to T-Mobile build
v2.1 (encompassing changes between 1.3 to 2.1)

removed multiple SUPL_HOST entries
aligned SUPL_HOST with SUPLROOTCERT in each package
increased QOS timeout from 89 to 100
removed QOS standalone timeout variable
removed extra AGPS variables
Hi, I replaced the 3 files (gps.conf, SuplRootCert, and gpsconfig.xml ) in their respective folders in my stock .21 rooted prime. Finally, I can get 8 sats locked. Before the patch in .21 I hardly can get lock.
My question, is the replaced files will be a problem for future Asus upgrade ? Cause I forgot to save or rename original 3 files replaced. Or, perhaps OP or anyone could post original stock Asus files ?
Thanks..
