As I'm already using FasterFix and GPS Test + here some results:

After clearing AGPS data and updating, the first fix time is two seconds all further fixes last about one second.
Ok many many thanks for your test and feedback mate

I didn't flash it but just replaced gps.conf
Hope that's still a good test.


From the behavior I observe, it seems that it does not improve the signal reception / the 'tuning' if there is such a thing on GPS.
It does however seem to consider itself 'locked' a lot sooner. Like it's a lot less critical on its data.

In a place with good reception, like outside, it was always very fast, and I cant tell the difference.

I am in a place with terribly bad reception (coated double glazing, reinforced concrete, ..). With no other device could I ever get a fix in here, but with my OneS I can. It would take a long time, minutes, to get a fix and it would then start out at 120 meters and gradually come down to around 10 meters.
Now with this new gps.conf, it locks a lot faster, but it starts out at 3 kilometers and gradually becomes better, and I think it takes about just as long as before to get to around 10 meters.

Again, this is in a terrible place for GPS. Close to the window it is much better but that was already very fast with the original gps.conf.

Maybe this only fixes a problem if you have it, which I didn't.

With Fasterfix App you can even choose a timeserver by country, at least I could go for a Dutch server. Can you make te app also more country specific, that would make this app even better
