Sad to hear...

If you can private message me a link to a custom ZIP file containing all of /etc/gps/ and /data/gps along with the original gps.conf from /etc/ if there is one, I'll see what I can do.

You aren't, by chance, using Thor's rom are you? If so, try flexreaper or another one.

Thor's rom broke the GPS on my device too. I asked about it in their forums and his response was something along the lines of "it works on mine. you're on your own".

Anyway. Try another rom. It might work for you.

I'm on the stock ICS OTA release with root and unlocked ROM.

I'll make up a zip for you.

i WAS THINKING that quickgpsfix is solved on official release...Running flexreaper I had really quickgpsfix 3 weeks ago when I extracted a libs.so file ondata/gps(it was locking 8 sats on a few sec)..Unfortunately file expired and eventhough tested build1 or 2 I had never again a quick fix

Thanks. I'll try to make something beneficial if at all possible.

To my opinion, the reason for the time until sat fix is getting worse is just the fact that the lto.dat files that are packed with the diverse ROMs are outdated. So I guess the quickest soloution for this problem is to download the latest lto.dat file by our own. Following crypted and pacificwing's suggestions I am using the following two commands in the <hal> section of the gpsconfig.xml file:

ltoFileName="lto2.dat"
acLtoDir="/mnt/sdcard/Download/"

In my Opera browser I have bookmarked "gllto.glpals.com/30day/v2/latest/" (thanks to pacificwing for the link). If I know that I will use GPS, I am just downloading the actual version of lto2.dat; then I always have the same quick sat fix.

With best regards, maris

It's quite annoying that the system will not auto refresh the file like it's supposed to. Yay for Acer I guess...

Indeed. I guess it is something basic that prevents the Acer tablets form updating. No idea what.

It shouldn't be that difficult to use SManager to run a shell script that does the download for you, but my tab is on the fritz right now and I lost the work I was doing on that. I remember trying to use wget with the download address, however, and it didn't work...

I'll revisit it once I get my tab working again...

I do not believe wget is an available option. Try fetch or lynx instead. I don't know, though.

A script would be simple. You could use an update variable, or simply rm -rf the file and re-download it.
