[Xperia Sola] Does your GPS works ?
- Thread starter Kess78
- Start date
Is that what you wanted to see?
EDIT: I know it's not from SOLA, but I think it should look the same way
Hm I was talking about the GPS test app on Market. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5jaGFydGNyb3NzLmdwc3Rlc3QiXQ..)
I attached what I have.
BTW is this the app from the service menu ? How do you have access to it ?
Thanks

Go to dialer and dial : *#*#7378423#*#* (service) then go to service test and on the list there should be "GPS"
Thanks for the tips.
My device get stuck on Please wait after hitting the GPS Location Test... Hope its not a hardware pb
I'm sorry to say that but it looks like a hardware fault. If restart or wipe don't fix this, it does look like a hardware issue. Are you running stock software?
I'm not familiar with SOLA but it shouldn't be that different

OK actually I think it does get better as you use it - it must store some temporary data. It first didn't work well, then took 43 seconds, now 18 seconds. That's OK with me!

GPS problem
My Xperia U seems to have the same issue...
The devices that came with the NovaThor U8500 chipset are experiencing this GPS problem. It is a hardware problem.
When I use the A-GPS function (using 3g data during the satellite search to calculate the distance of the device until the antennas making a triangulation) i can get signal much faster.
Unfortunately the GPS receiver of these devices is disappointing.

You're right. I can't help but noticed that most android devices that i've seen don't have satisfactory GPS experience. When i compare them to other phones this is the only area that lacks the most. Let's just hope for better in the future
This dude right here is the file that you've to edit to get GPS working, there is a post in this forum that fixes GPS problems in any phone.
Take a look at this.
