Any GPS fix for T989?

---

My GPS sucks and I remember the vibrant also had problems with GPS.

I am running beast mod 4.2

Does our phone have any GPS fix?

Any tips to help get location?

Thanks

Im on the same rom and never had a problem getting a lock. Its pretty fast.

Maybe ur connection, location, or phone

Had this phone for a day....due to T-Mobile issues I sent it back to delete the line they added on...
First thing I did tho is check GPS( coming from the vibrant)... I was inside opened GPS test and had 23 in view and 13 locked almost instantly....
Try going back to stock if that fixes it it's the rom not playing well with your phone if not get a replacement

100 times this. Of any phone I've ever owned, this phone has the best GPS hands down.
My experience when flashing custom roms is that GPS signal and data signal always suffer. Coming from a Sensation, the same exact thing happened. I flashed a custom ROM, and my GPS went to ****. I think that's one of the downsides of flashing custom roms. And it's the only reason why I'm still on stock.

My GPS sucks. It points 90 degrees in the wrong direction, unless I'm moving then it points in the right direction. I have stock Android, should I get a replacement?

Does anyone know how to acess the gps settings? Is there a hidden menu like the g2x? If so what doo you have to enter into the dialer? I am curios to see what server the gps uses and what the slp settings are. On my g2x I had to manually add googles slp servers and tell it to use that server and to no be ms assisted. My gps went from taking bet 5 and 10 minutes to get a lock and after that I got instant locks. It picked up 47 sattalites or something crazy like that. So if someone can tell me how to get there I can check to see if it uses googlles slp servers.

GPS tracks your location, not your direction. I think the Compass is in charge of direction.

highly disagree aas saying anything is the best over all is purely opinionated. sure the GPS on the TMo SGS2 is lightyears better than the vibrant and works well,but my g1 still has more accurate locks...down to 1-3 meter accuracy. side-by-side test in same lpcation and conditions.
