Default GPS fix for nova v3 and v3.1

1.Enter the "hidden menu" (3845#*970#) -> GPS Test -> System settings -> MOLR Protocol and be sure "User plane" is checked.

2.Now go to SULP Settings (be sure the SLP Auto Provision is enebled)

3.Click SLP Server Setting, select server "OPEN(Google)", click the menu button on touch pad and then click "Edit"

4.Modify the "slp address" to: supl.nokia.com (do not activate TLS setting and leav certification file blank)

5.Click on the menu button from touch pad and "SAVE"

6.Open Google Maps, Igo or whatever do you use for gps, wait until it locates you! (may be slow for first time but after that it will locate you in matter of seconds)

I hope this one works for you guys as it works for me, I really get location very fast, like on stock ROM or nova 1.7.31!

Well, but according to my knowlege this has influence on A-GPS only. Nothing common with sat GPS.
Past: Apple Newton, Casio Cassiopea E-10, HP Jornada 548, Dell Axim X5, Samsung i5700, SE Xperia Neo V, LG Black P970
Now: Xperia Sola,, Galaxy S3

Correct.

Either way, I already changed the supl to Nokia server in the upcoming Nova.

I tested it today with cold lock (sat GPS) and worked fine (app: google maps and GPS timer - 4 sats) and with A-GPS (where Nokia servers might indeed be faster than Google) also worked fine.

The real big improvement would be if it was possible to improve the gps tracking once fixed... or without a-gps info.

And? This thread it's about P970 not SE.

Lol

That doesn't make the point mgregor, he means the SE server not a SE device.
Also I can confirm this, I've got 9-11 server with SE, 4-5 with Nokia.
