thanks!! i got 7 sattelites inside my room XD just 10 meters accuracy but i think that in sky view the accuracy will get better
One thing that no patch has managed to fix for me is the inconsistency of my GPS. It'll often work great right after flashing an update... but then a number of days later, it will take minutes to lock, or won't at all. This is usually remedied by rebooting.
Anyone have similar experiences or any ideas?
Please give us specifics about your location and environment.
1. Do you have a case on the phone?
2. Are you testing inside or outside?
3. What's your field of view like as far as the sky is concerned?
4. Where abouts are you located?
5. What ROM are you using?
6. What radio and RIL?
7. Have you followed the instructions to let it "learn" as I like to say in the Notes section?
As I've hinted at, this is a seemingly random occurrence that happens over time, regardless of sky conditions or time of day. Many times, simply rebooting the phone will decrease lock time and increase satellites acquired. I don't know why... haven't the faintest idea.
Had something interesting happen tonight. 10 sat lock indoors, but they could only pinpoint me to a distance of about 350 feet? Anyone else ever see anything like that? Lol it was odd.

When indoors, the GPS signal can bounce off of walls or get slowed through double-pane windows. This makes the signal appear to be more distant, thereby confusing the GPS as it tries to triangulate your position. The fact that you can even GET a lock at all indoors is pretty good testimony to this patch.

Very strange indeed. If we can rule out patch and the ROM, we are left with radio, RIL, and hardware. Inspire's aren't prone to the major issues first production DHD's are prone to, or at least I haven't heard of it. So that would almost rule out hardware.
You're sure nothing metallic or otherwise is degrading signal? The GPS antenna is on the same back plate that the flash is. I doubt you're putting it on or around something to block its reception, though.
Flash the radio and RIL recommended for you. You're using a newer one. But, maybe try the release version?
I'm currently running Android Revolution 6.1.1 and was having the worst GPS signal of all time. I have the recommended radio flashed and gave it time to settle and still no dice. Flashed this 10 minutes ago, and have since locked on to 9 sats. I was locking on to 1, 2 if I was in the middle of the dog field out next to my house and was feeling lucky. Needless to say, it works! amazing!!!
