PROBLEM:
Okay, I was tired as hell of not having GPS. I tried a ton of fixes on the internet, with absolutely no success. supl.google.com, supl.nokia.com, etc didn't work for me.

SOLUTION:
In the dialer type *#*#3214789650#*#* to access either lbstestmode or AngryGPS, depending on your ROM. Make sure Operation Mode in General Settings (AngryGPS) is on MSBASED, and go to the SUPL settings. Set the SUPL server to "h-slp.mnc410.mcc310.pub.3gppnetwork.org", port to 7275, and secure socket on. (Also I think one of the settings needs to be SUPL). Reboot and try again.

RESULT:
Before this I couldn't get a lock within 10 minutes and didn't have the patience to wait longer. Now I get locks in 15 seconds and within 10 meters.



Tell me whether it worked for you.

EDIT: added picture of 2 second lock.

Surprising. Worked perfectly for me, according to AngryGPS I get locks in 6 seconds now.

Oh yeah, and it seems to work better on Infused 2+ than stock or Infused 1.6.

I used Google SUPL server: "supl.google.com" same port, secure socket ON.
and it did cut my locking time to 8 sec.

I was kinda struggling earlier, but dunno how these settings made it possible, but I am not getting a lock in under 5-6 seconds in nearly all tests - geo location, maps, tracking, etc. First lock took about 17 seconds, but since then its been under 5-6 seconds.

here's my experience with this overall:

* 2 important things are a) getting a lock in less time b) tracking with accuracy
* some fixes get locks in short time whereas some are more accurate while driving, I'm yet to find a good combination on both.

Also, starting the GPS in "cold start" mode also reduces lock time with original settings, leading me to believe that some kind of cache corruption is at play. With supl.nokia.com, it gets lock under 5 seconds, but Google Navigation is all over the place - frustrating. Shame on Samsung!

As I stated in my original post, the Google SUPL server didn't work for me. Infuses are apparently not all the same. I hope people try this along with my fix.

These settings work because a lot of Infuses are strangely incompatible with the default SUPL server Samsung ships it with.

    Yeah - the two together work the best as far as I'm concerned.
