[Q] [Dev] GPS accuracy radius

---

Hello guys,

So... I've got a little problem.
My company has bought nearly 35 of these Galaxy 5 phones and we've even developed an application to track down our employees via the Android's GPS System. The tool is working very well and fits our purposes, but we are not quite happy with it yet because of the accuracy that the GPS is getting at the moment.

The point is, we have tried everything we could find concerning the use of this individual phone to it's best in terms of GPS Accuracy, from Fasterfix to android tweaks, and we still can't get past the baseline of ~50 meters accuracy. We'd all be happy if we could work with ~10 meters by now, but it seems that that number is unreachable...

Has anyone got any link, app or tweak to suggest that it's worth testing?

Peace.

Using stock ROM i guess... none of the tweaks work on that correctly
Using CyanogenMOD 7 may improve the situation and the tweaks might work

Sadly that does not help. We're already using the CM7 ROM, the main problem with it is that we can't access the GPS built-in controller because the Android version of CM7 is more recent than the stock version.

It'd be nice if there were any tweaks we could make to the rom, I see no problem with messing with the root files, as long as we can try configuring the GPS manually.

you should ask into the MadTeam forum.. the will know if there's a way to help you to improve the GPS accuracy!
