[FIX] [Sept.17.2011] TMOUS GPS Fix | CWM Flash Zip Included [TMOUSA]

You can copy these files over via terminal emulator assuming you have root. The terminal command is "cp" and/or "mv" depending on how you choose to do it.
You'll first need to delete, move, or rename the original files. Then, you could do so.
you can only flash the cmw zip, don't you need both zips done for the fix to work?
Damn that sucks.
I did both methods on different ROMs/flashes and both methods fixed it.
This flash didnt work :/ just tells me aborted and error on sd card or somethign like tht.
confused.
Ok guys noob question!! Ive been reading and reading and still cant figure out how to put these 2 files on my phone. How is it done> through the pc or phone. Im just not getting it, If someone can post a very detailed guide I would really appreciate it. Thanks

I'm assuming you have Clockwork Mod Recovery.
1) Download the CWM zip in the first post.
2) Put it on your SD card.
3) Get into recovery by powering off your phone, holding vol down+power until you get to the white fastboot screen, and selecting recovery.
4) Select Install from Zip and select the file.
5) Hit yes, reboot, and be on your merry way.
Hopefully it works for you. Dunno why it would give some people SD card errors, I can't replicate the problem myself.

32Some of you guys on TMOUS are having a hard time getting GPS to lock. I know I did when I first flashed LEEDROiD. Spent an entire day trying to figure out what went wrong. Eventually found out about gps.conf, and how it gave your phone instructions on which ntp pools to reference to look for satellites.
Took a look @ the gps.conf that came with LEEDROiD, and got this:
Code:NTP_SERVER=europe.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 PHONE_TYPE=UMTS
See how it says europe.pool.ntp.org? Yea, no f'in wonder it wasn't locking on.
This is what came from a stock TMOUS from Southern California. Notice how there's a line of code that references a file called SuplRootCert.
Code:NTP_SERVER=north-america.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=10.176.29.225 SUPL_PORT=7275 SUPL_TLS_HOST=lbs.geo.t-mobile.com SUPL_TLS_CERT=/etc/SuplRootCert PHONE_TYPE=UMTS
Since I was taught college to minimize risk, I went ahead and added a couple of servers just for good measure:
Code:NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org NTP_SERVER=0.north-america.pool.ntp.org NTP_SERVER=1.north-america.pool.ntp.org NTP_SERVER=2.north-america.pool.ntp.org NTP_SERVER=3.north-america.pool.ntp.org NTP_SERVER=0.us.pool.ntp.org NTP_SERVER=1.us.pool.ntp.org NTP_SERVER=2.us.pool.ntp.org NTP_SERVER=3.us.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=10.176.29.225 SUPL_PORT=7275 SUPL_TLS_HOST=lbs.geo.t-mobile.com SUPL_TLS_CERT=/etc/SuplRootCert PHONE_TYPE=UMTS
INSTRUCTIONS:
So what you're gonna wanna do is to push these files into /system/etc. Do not try to flash this via CWM. Since I know a lot of people like to tl;dr my posts,
TMOUS_GPS_ADDED ISN'T FLASHABLE IN CWM
TMOUSA_GPSFIX_CWM CAN BE FLASHED IN CWM
I did this via adb using command prompt. If you don't have it, now's a good time to go install it and learn how to use it. Shame on you for being an android user and not knowing basic newb ish. You can go here first.
1) Unzip the two files into the directory where ADB is kept
2) Get to that directory in command prompt
3) Connect your phone if you haven't done so already
4) adb remount
5) adb push gps.conf /system/etc
6) adb push SuplRootCert /system/etc
7) adb reboot
And you should be good to go. You can use GPS Toolbox / Google Maps / Latitude to verify that GPS is working. Make sure when you're testing that you're somewhere where there's no roof over your head. You have to have the sky above you.
Thanks to zimphishmonger for upping the flashable zip!16Created a flashable just cause I KNOW someone is gonna try even though you said it wasnt. Anyway, if its useful, Id like to keep on my SD card anyway. Enjoy! Thanks2Just to throw this into the fire:
Do not use Market Apps like "FasterFix" and other crap to also resolve your issue.
These apps OVERRIDE what this "TMOUS GPS Fix" does. Basically, it forces the phone to ignore the new /etc/gps.conf entirely. Also, some apps will overwrite that file meaning you don't even have this solution on your phone at all.
I reviewed this thread to see what people were having issues with. This is one of the most common problems for users of any patch that physically replaces the gps.conf.
I only recommend one app from the Market. It is called "GPS Status" and can be used to see your performance and to setup auto-downloading of aGPS data should you wish to do so. Though, this is very much unnecessary. No I do not develop or know the developer of the app!
If someone has questions or curiosities about this and I do not respond, send me a private message to look at the post # on the thread. I follow around 100 threads so sometimes I get bogged down elsewhere.1ok, maybe noobish question but does it make any difference what rom we're on as far as sense vs cm/asop?
thanks btw. i've been disappointed with this phone as far as how much you need to go through to make gps reliable. glad to know the community is always there1
Hate to burst bubbles, but there's more to this than correcting the server to match your location. I live in Henderson NV currently. My GPS has no issues, but certain users I was helping had all sorts of no locking issues etc. Anyways, to keep this short I used an app from the market called fasterFix which is doing the same thing as your fix here. I typically get any-where's from 7-11 fixed Satellites. But I am currently using Korea for my NTP. I have 10 fixed Satellites right now
