The problem is that I have lost the original file :/ but today I tried to do that with Root browser, pushed the gps.conf file like was given in this thread, changed permissions, and still it doesn't work. The system also doesn't give any icon on status bar on the top while "searching" for satellites..so it is not doing that.,Does new rom installation could solve that? Any suggestions how to make that gps.conf file visible for the system? :)
I tried to fix, but looks like I've done more harm.. :)

If you are not getting the gps icon on the status bar, that means your gps system driver is not working, this has nothing to do with the gps.conf file. Check in settings and then location to make sure that the gps sats is checked off and not just wireless, this would be a cause as to why your not getting the gps icon either. if the gps sat is checked, then you need to look at the rom and the drivers not the gps.conf file.

And a new rom could because if you wipe the phone and install new then whatever was done to stop the gps from turning on will most likely be fixed when the new rom is put in place, double check also in the rom thread to see if the gps is working, some roms (If they are new like JB) may not have the driver for the gps in the rom, so check the simple things first before driving yourself nuts.

I have solved this by replacing gps.conf and gps_brcm_conf.xml from one of the original ROM. changed permissions, rebooted, and now it is working. Sadly, there is no improvement when I change the gps.conf with my country settings:
gps.conf -
...
NTP_SERVER=lt.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
...
Gps still takes ages to lock the satellites, if I am standing outside, when there is no obstacles to find a gps signal, and when I am in room near window, ..GPS can't find anything. Just searching and nothing, I tried to do like here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1239713 but no improvements. Then, i came with an idea, that the file gps_brcm_conf.xml do the most important thing,,doesnt it?You can see how it looks in the attachment. Am I right that I should change this, and not the gps.conf? ...And how?

I looked at the xml file, and thats xml controls your gps chip, by changing that its probably what made the gps turn back on, not the gps.conf, but I have a few questions:

What kind of phone is this?
Was there a gps.conf file in this phone or rom before?
Was there or is there a second .conf file located in system/etc that has gps in it?
What app are you using to check the GPS status?
What country are you in?
What rom are you using? Stock or modified?

LG Optimus 2x.
I don't know exactly. It was original Froyo 2.2.2.
No, just two files.
Ulysse speedometer and GPS status&toolbox
I'm in Lithuania, European country.
Now using [ROM MIUI][ GB ][ | WIUI | ][ 2.10.7 ] - MULTiLanguage | 21+ | but that problem was when the phone had a stock Froyo 2.2.2 also when it has stock Gingerbread.. About 5 or more minutes to fix satellites outside , when the sky is clear. And almost no fix being in room or car. . I started to give such questions when I saw that my friend's Sony Xperia finds about 12 satellites (fix them immediately) being in house and it does that in 10 seconds.. He is not using a 3G or wifi . Just GPS.. Strange differences...

Original Froyo has the gps.conf in the rom and only one, the reason I asked is cause a few pages up a person has a different file then gpf.conf in there thats why I had to ask. GPS status and toolbox is what I use, I would assume you went into the tools reset the agps and then re-downloaded it? The experia is a different phone so you cant base your locks on his phone. Here is what I would suggest if you can:

Backup your current rom so that if this doesnt work you can restore it to its current state, reinstall the stock rom rooted that came with that phone, install gps status and see how long the lock takes. Then the file attached to this post is for your country, just remove the ".zip" from the end of the file, I had to do that to upload it. Use a file explorer and copy this file to the system/etc folder, do not change any permissions, just copy and paste, after reboot the phone, then go into gps status and try to get a signal again, see how long it takes. If it takes a long time, then I would say its a hardware issue, either the gps wire is loose in the phone, or its something with the radio chip since that chips handles the cell signal and the gps signal.

By doing what I said I am trying to eliminate any alterations, especially the the ril driver and radio, a mismatch of these can also cause long delays for gps locking. Also this procedure eliminates the possibility that a custom rom may be the cause or have a mis-match of drivers. I will tell you which I think the first or second post is stated, that in the past (Not sure now) there has been a known issue with MIUI roms and my files, why is unknown, but I cant confirm that for the current MIUI roms.

Sorry for a long break, lots of studies..Ok, so I watched to my backup SYSTEM folder of original Froyo, and saw that there is no GPS.conf file, just a "gps_brcm_conf.xml". So how could I make my gps to work better? Also, near a folder etc there is a folder namedgps which contains folder "broadcom" this contains folder "glhal" then folder "unix" inside, then "3GPPAT" , in this there is folder "src" in which finally i found two files: brcm_ril_at_client.o and brcm_ril_at_client.P. Any ideas to improve gps? Thanks :eek:

2 Things:

1) Can you zip these files up and attach them here?

2) Can you give me a link to a downloadable rom of your froyo? I need to be able to look at the rom and scan thru it. I remember I had a similar problem with another user that has a similar problem and I have to find that post in this thread.

It's a great work. At present I m using Android ICS 4.0.4

I tried the link for gps.conf suggested here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233256 and also tried solution your file but none of them solved the GPS problem. I can see the satellites but the location is not detected via google maps.

Also,
- Both files fail to install through CWM so I had to do manual push using android commander - http://androidcommander.com/
- After pushing files, I have set the permissions to read + write for owner (root) and read only for (group) and (users)

Just dropped in to say thanks for your fix. An old version of one of your files has proved to be the fix for issues experienced on the latest leaked ROM on the SGS3 (at least on the custom ROM that I've been using)

Mar.29.2011 UPDATE:

If anyone has been keeping track of the Dev forum Post, you will see we are making progress in the GPS/AGPS development. One of the key things that has surfaced thank to MEMIN1857 is the GPSFix.0.1.apk file, which can be downloaded from his post: GPSFIX-0.1.apk. Install this on your phone, and then run it after install, there is no gui, it will download the necessary "xtra.bin" file that is needed by the GPS/AGPS, and after 30 seconds it will say fixed. This is one of the cruiel parts of the GPS that has been missing. Also I found through lots of searching you should add the following lines to the end of your GPS.conf file located in /system/etc. Add the following to the end of the file:

AGPS=/data/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_1=/data/xtra.bin

Also jaba_cz had a line in theory which I will post here which you can add at the end as well, all three lines will not break anything, so its safe to add this line too, I just cant confirm results as of yet:

AGPS=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

Many people are working on this with alot of info I am hoping soon we will get the gps working for everyone in an acceptable manner.

Ok....should I add these lines to my gps.conf file after having installed and executed the GPSFix.0.1.apk file???

AGPS=/data/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_1=/data/xtra.bin
AGPS=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

Please let me know.

I'm using a Motorola Triumph and hadn't been able to get a lock at all, after using the conf file for the North East I get a locked extremely quick... ONLY a problem...
For some reason the GPS it is locating me off the coast of South Africa and I live in the North East section of USA.....

Anyone able to help me out here please? I love how it locks quick, but the location is WAY OFF.

*EDIT* To be more exact, the lat and long are both 0, It's locating me at the Origin.

Sorry, I just HAD to comment on this!

That is not even close to "the coast of South Africa"!

If you measure it on Google Earth you will find 0°N/S and 0°E is only 2,200miles (about 3,620Km) from the coast of South Africa!
Man you really do need a GPS! Hope you get it working soon.

Seriously though, it means that your GPS has no position data at all and reverts to zeros for lat and long.
In the mid 1970's aircraft used the Litton 72 INS system that only held 9 waypoints that had to be manually entered by the pilots. If they forgot to re-program in flight, the aircraft would turn toward 0°N/S and 0°E as that is the default number. The position was referred to by pilots as the "graveyard".
Seems not a lot has changed in GPS software.

A few observations from a relative "Noobie"

Hi folks,

I have read the thread from beginning to end a few times and have run some tests of my own. I thought I would share my observations and comments.

It is a huge pity that the the clash of Titans between AngelDeath and Jaiy ended badly because I feel that Jaiy had some extremely valid points even if the were presented rather harshly. For instance, his comments about the NTP servers led me to do some tests of my own.

What I found is that if you run a "ping" test from the command window some of the servers fail to return the ping. Others ping pack promptly. I would heartily suggest to my fellow forum pals that before using a time server in their script that they run a ping test to see if the server they wish to use is valid.

For example: "ping hk.pool.ntp.org" times out every time so it is useless to use that in a script.
but.... "ping asia.pool.ntp.org" returns a successful ping.
See attached image.

I tested AngelDeath's Asia script from post#1 of this thread and, while it worked, I found the results to be excellent at times and then at other times I could not lock on to any satellites at all, even using a hot start with GPS Status. At times, the only way I could get any signal was to clear the A-GPS data and reload it.

So I decided to test Jaiy's method and ran a modified version of his script. The result is that while lock times are a few seconds slower, the acquisition of satellites appears to be more consistent. This may be due to only using an NTP server that actually responds to a ping test. Perhaps a non-responding server "hangs" the acquisition process? Hmmmm....

I would therefore strongly suggest you test this yourselves and modify your own scripts to make sure you are using a server that is up and running. You can find the servers for your area at http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/

The gps.conf I am currently running looks like this:

NTP_SERVER=asia.pool.ntp.org
INTERMEDIATE_POS=1
ACCURACY_THRES=5000
CURRENT_CARRIER=common
DEFAULT_USER_PLANE=TRUE
REPORT_POSITION_USE_SUPL_REFLOC=1

I use ADB to push the file, clear the cache and Dalvik cache and then reboot. While the lock times are not staggeringly fast they are very acceptable and the results seem to be fairly stable and consistent.

It took me a while to get ADB to work before I figured out that USB Debugging has to be turned on.
As I said, I'm still a Noob! :confused:

I will be pleased to hear if anyone else has used this method and any comments/crticisms so we can all learn and hopefully move forward with faster GPS lock times. Perhaps this data can be merged with AngelDeaths work to produce a killer conf file. I hope so!

Cheers!

P.S. For the prurists: yes I know it's a config file, not a script!

    I would like to take this time to thank everyone that has helped in making this a success, I would like to also thank Rom Makers that have felt that my work was worth adding to their roms, and also to the Users that have taken my work with my permission, and expanded on it.

    I am currently looking at adding more locations to the list soon, so keep an eye out :)

    If anyone can help my next project and is Good at programming APK's please PM me.

    12.05.12 REGIONAL VERSIONS 1.2 FINAL RELEASED!

    USA & International & REGIONAL CWR!

    UPDATE:

    I would like to thank everyone that has tried this, most of you have had very good success, and some of you have not, do understand that a rom can make the difference, as well as your location, and despite popular belief; weather.

    Greetings All,

    As some of you have know the long await GPS Script that some have been seeing me speak about. I'll explain how this has come to surface.

    As we all know since Windows Mobile we all have had issues at one time or another with the GPS working correctly. Now in Android, we find ourselves in the same boat, with GPS not working, or working some days and not so much on other days. One of the biggest complaints I think that we all have had is LONG wait times. So I went on a quest to find out exactly how this worked And some of what I found out in my opinion is surprising. It seems that as we all know the "GPS.conf" is the helpful source for our locks.

    Now I dont mean to give everyone a lesson on GPS but I am sure I'm not 100% right, but from what I have read and seen, neither is our gps.conf file. The file is a generic code and customized to use google as our source. Then we had extra options to add which again were in my book generalized but somewhat helpful. I checked this against US carriers (Such as: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile) and found, they all had similar files doing the same thing, some claim success, and others didnt.

    One of the problems with our files is the fact its been dumbed down, to the point its TOO General, and the reason for this is cause Developers (Not referring to XDA) have done this to avoid possible errors or conflicts with other parts of the phone or software, so my opinion is they made it simple, but simple doesnt always work. We all know this to be the case cause how many times have we had generic drivers, or files that are used, so that this way "it works". The GPS basically sends signals down to earth and earth sends signals up to the Satellite to determine locations, this as we all have come to know as "PINGS". And obviously the faster the ping, the closer it is. And the closer it is, the faster the lock. The file works the same way. The generic file is using the same servers worldwide no matter were you are and are generic, so the long lock times are cause we are all using the same locations, and as well when a server is overloaded, or as I have seen too many ping requests it has a filter to deny any further requests for "x" period of time, and overloaded systems have a longer response time.

    Think of it this way, GPS's send their information to for the most part one location, and it is primarily from what I have read controled by the Navy (at least here in the states), their are 3 tiers to the GPS signal:

    1st Tier, Direct; 2nd Tier, Stratum 1; 3rd Tier, Stratum 2, All time servers. There is one more category that GPS's have, and that is they are also ATOMIC CLOCKS which sync with Earth bound Atomic clocks. So why are all the developers using only a generic script, pinging probably 1 sub-par time server expecting that they are going to get any solid results? And using only 1 time server and overloading it? So to get the best possible locks and signal the concept is to utilize every tier, to get the best possible lock. As well there is numerous commands that have been left out of the scrtipt which further enables the GPS to get a faster lock, and going through all the commands from searching the different sites, I compiled different scripts so that i could get the best possible lock.

    Big Thanks to SLBENZ for helping out with testing and giving feedback to the scripts I made and helping making the scripts the best possible to work with any region. Also thanks to WarlockW for also testing out the scripts and confirming what I was hoping to hear. Thanks to Pinnacle Another tester not part of these forums, for also testing and giving feedback. Thanks to Carl1961 and WarlockW Carl for making a CWR script for WarlockW and Warlock for allowing me to use the script. Also a Thanks and the jesture to CMYLXGO who also tested the script gave input and has my script in his rom. The Scripts are broken down into 9 Regions and they are as follows:

    Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, UK, South America, US Mid-East, US Mid-West (Located on post #2), and North America. Local UK Only (Post #2), LOCAL FLORIDA ONLY (Post#2), SuplRootCert (Post #2)

    The North America Script should be used by people in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezula, Costa Rica, and Canada. The only other person who should use this script is a person who travels to different states for work purposes, and should not be used by someone who doesnt travel often.

    Huge Thanks for Carl1961 for fixing the CWR files so they can load as intended. All files have been replaced and can now be installed using CWR.

    Install Instructions:

    1) Download the ZIP file for your region or close to your region.
    2) DO NOT UNZIP the file.
    3) Place the file on your SDCARD.
    4) DO NOT USE MAGDLR, or CWR to copy the file to your SDCard. Use either your computer, or put Android into Disk Drive mode to avoid corruption.
    5) Reboot your phone into CWR.
    6) Choose Install ZIP from Sdcard
    7) Choose install Zip file
    8) Let it run
    9) Reboot
    10) If you prefer install the GPS Status App attached to post #2
    a) If you do, hit the home key then go to settings then Display &Tools.
    b) Choose the last one "Show time to GPS fix".

    If you have Wifi turned on it will download the AGPS file which will help with the locks but is not needed.

    GPS locks will vary, There is no guarantee and I can not give you one, but based on testing, your locks should occur in the following:

    First Lock: 30 seconds to possibly 3 mins (3mins if the weather is bad, or there is something going on with the GPS sats, most occur under 80 seconds)

    Second and all subsequent locks: 4 seconds to 30 seconds. (Unless GPS is not used for more then 2 days, then refer to First Lock)

    Please also post comments of good bad or ugly, Please USE the THANKS BUTTON and use the posts for problems suggestions, or requests.

    All of the v1.1 & 1.2 files are CWR files! Since there is 62 countries that have been done, I cant attach them here. So I decided to host all of them on my own personal server. There is no waiting for files. Please if for whatever reason you dont connect just refresh and it will download.

    If you dont see your Country, please ask. As I said some countries have no choice but to use the 1.0 versions attached to Post 1 & 2. There are no time servers in every country and some countries (also not in the list) which either are restricted, or have not been maintained.

    If the files work for you, and if your feeling generous, or appreciate the hours put into the work so far, feel free to donate. Coffee does wonders to keep me awake.

    Mar.29.2011 UPDATE:

    If anyone has been keeping track of the Dev forum Post, you will see we are making progress in the GPS/AGPS development. One of the key things that has surfaced thank to MEMIN1857 is the GPSFix.0.1.apk file, which can be downloaded from his post: GPSFIX-0.1.apk. Install this on your phone, and then run it after install, there is no gui, it will download the necessary "xtra.bin" file that is needed by the GPS/AGPS, and after 30 seconds it will say fixed. This is one of the cruiel parts of the GPS that has been missing. Also I found through lots of searching you should add the following lines to the end of your GPS.conf file located in /system/etc. Add the following to the end of the file:

    AGPS=/data/xtra.bin
    XTRA_SERVER_1=/data/xtra.bin

    Also jaba_cz had a line in theory which I will post here which you can add at the end as well, all three lines will not break anything, so its safe to add this line too, I just cant confirm results as of yet:

    AGPS=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

    Many people are working on this with alot of info I am hoping soon we will get the gps working for everyone in an acceptable manner.

    I've removed the off-topic nonsense from this thread. If you have nothing useful to contribute, then don't post at all.

    Keep it on topic...no more warnings.

    I will look into it. It might be that the zips might have gotten compressed even though I told it not to, but you can take it out and use root explorer to copy out over. Will look at it in the morning, might have to replace the bad ones. Thanks for pointing this out.
