An interesting thing happened today.
I was using my HD2 to navigate and of course it froze as usual, after about 10 minutes or so.
After pulling the battery and restarting the phone it was still reasonably warm so I left the back off and (on a whim) jammed it face up and top first into the passenger side airconditioning vent, with the temperature turned down low on that side.
Two hours later Sygic was still functioning and the phone had not frozen (and the phone was cold to the touch).
I can only conclude from this that heat is indeed the culprit and that something somewhere in the GPS module has been fried and no longer functioning properly.
It's got nothing to do with ROMS, nor which version of the libraries you are using.
Over the past few weeks my phone has been getting progressively worse.
At the time I happened to be using HyperDroidGBX and the latest version of NMEA.
I might be wrong but I cannot see any other explanation?
Time for a new phone?
What say you all?

Sounds about right, used to do the same when I badly needed the GPS to work.
I am getting a ONE x, suggest you (and of course tytung :D) to do the same. 2 years are more than enough and my HD2 did me some great service, it truly was the best device ever. Hopefully the ONE x will be able to step in these footsteps!

The One-x doesn't have Glonass support which I think is absolute b*ll for the top of the bill device. So I am saying no to that one since GPS programs are 80% of the fun (work) on my phone.
Seems that the One-s does include Glonass support.

Currently using the lastest version of Hyperdroid.
Yet again I find myself with doubts over the reason for the GPS freezes.
This week my phone ran for 20 minutes or so before freezing and when I checked it wasn't even slightly warm - so I guess heat could not have been the problem.
Since my earlier post I have also been experimenting with SD ROMs (instead of NAND) to see whether it makes a differences to GPS.
Sadly, my phone still freezes.
Either way I think the only permanent solution will be to update my phone. :mad:

I can confirm that GPS freezees for a last half a year on my HD2 using every rom I tried. This is really annoying. Quick application restart also restarts GPS and it works till next GPS freeze after unknown amount of time.
Could it be solder joints coming loose for GPS chip?

Have you tried the RPC version of the GPS libs from this thread? Most of the roms contains the NMEA version, most of us (me included) had no problems with both versions.
Tytung says about the RPC version in first post:

[*]RPC version: Show less info but be more compatible with some navigation apps. (i.e. No random hot reboot issues.)

If you have the NMEA version, you will see DOP/HDOP/VDOP in "GPS Status & Toolbox" after a sat fix!

Kindly please enlighten me that can this gps library to be applied on other models (such as Desire HD with GingerBread / ICS) :confused:

Sorry for noob question :silly:

I don't know which version I'm using, NMEA or RPC, just the one included in my ROM, but I suffered a lot of freezes with other ROMs. Last week I had a 5 hours trip and my HD2 worked like a charm all the way. I'm using NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.4 ROM now. I don't know even if it uses these GPS libraries, but meybe it's worth a try.

Regards.

GPS on JB

Hi Tytung,

The Jelly bean version of Android that I have tested all have the same issue. They do not show more than 3 satelites connected. Even though the gpslib.so shows that it is prasing the NMEA sentances correctly. Somehow android is not interperting it correctly. I know there was a change in the GPS code from Google from JB upwards but I am unable to figure out why it is not working.

I will attach a picture. Hopefully we can work out why JB is not working so well with GPS.

Regards.

What is surprising is that the users of Xylo's AOKP and Sorcery JB ROMs do not seem to have anting different from ICS. ParanoidAndroid does have a problem!

Hey Guys/TyTung,
I installed the Leo AGPS Injector on my Nexus4 because i loved it already on my HD2. A simple, nice looking Widget. Nothing more, nothing less - just perfect.
But i dont know if its working, any way to test that?

Why did you do that? This is for the HD2. The libs are different...

I thought Tytung use the default android commands to inject the gps data, but I don't remember 100%. In this case it should work on other devices.

You can test it with the following steps:
- start the test after a longer time without internet connection (min. 6h)
- activate internet, inject the gps data with the widget from tytung and don't start other gps apps!
- deactivate internet data/WLAN
- start a gps app with a good view to the sky to test the fixing time, like GPS Status (activate the time her: Settings/Display/Show time to first GPS-Fix)
If the fix times are below 20-30s, the widget is working, if they are above 1min it was not working! The HD2 has a fix after 3-5s with fresh agps data.

If you always have fixing times below 20-30s without updating the agps data manually, your rom auto inject the gps data when an internet connection is available!

    This implementation is based on GPS Library in HTC-HD2 Android Libraries. (Thanks to dan1j3l.)
    You can find my modified source code and AGPS development info in the second post.

    New Features:
    • Show the number of satellites before getting a location fix.
    • Show or hide the GPS symbol in the status bar instantly when you start or stop a GPS app.
    • Support the leap seconds. (Thanks to arne182.)
    • Modify the Accuracy (i.e. Error in meter) to be more reasonable.
    • Add AGPS interface. (Won't see "no AGPS interface in agps_data_conn_open" in logcat now.)
    • Add the missing functions to receive the NTP, XTRA, and SUPL settings from gps.conf.
    • Add AGPS implementation including injecting AGPS data (xtra.bin) and NTP time into the gpsOne engine.
    • Hide Fix/Sats info and make the GPS symbol in the status bar flashing when you go to basement or tunnel.
    • Show DOP/HDOP/VDOP values in GPS Status.
    • Show Altitude above Geoid (i.e. mean sea level) and Geoid height. (You will see both of them in GPS Status. The value within parentheses is Geoid height.)
    • Show correct SNR (Signal to noise ratio) value.
    • Activate the AGPS data injection. (You can get a cold lock very quickly due to the working AGPS.) (Thanks to qwerty_7564.)
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Known issues:
    • Accuracy value is for reference only.
      • Position Accuracy (meter) = HDOP (unitless) * Measurement Precision (meter). (Please confirm whether this formula is correct.)
      • We only get the correct HDOP value, and we assume the value of Measurement Precision, and then do a post calculation to get Accuracy. So don't trust it completely.
    • Some ROMs are not compatible with NMEA version of libgps.so.
      • Those ROMs don't set the correct permission to /dev/smd27, so libgps.so cannot read NMEA sentences from it.
      • The solution is to flash GPS_NMEA_permission_update.zip for correcting the permission after booting.
    • Some ROMs suffer from the "GPS off-and-on" bug.
      • Those ROMs can shutdown the gpsOne engine properly when turning off GPS setting using gps_cleanup(), but they cannot restart the gpsOne engine again because gps_init() is never called when turning GPS setting on after turning it off.
      • It's a Gingerbread bug which is fixed by applying this commit from the source code.
      • If you cannot modify the source code, the workaround is to set/add GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED=0 into gps.conf to avoid doing full cleanup.

    Downloads:

    Mod edit: Links removed

    Installation for CWM:
    • Place your downloaded file (GPS_Libraries_v1.x_for_HD2_Gingerbread_update.zip) in the SD card.
    • Enter CWM (ClockworkMod) Recovery
      • MAGLDR 1.13: Hold "Power" button during boot to enter MAGLDR, and then select "AD Recovery" or "Boot AD SD" (if ever copied CWM's initrd.gz and zImage to SD) to enter CMW.
      • cLK 1.4.0.1: Hold "Home" button during boot to enter CMW.
    • Choose install zip from sdcard and locate your downloaded file to finish the installation.
    • All done.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    You can install GPS Status & Toolbox or GPS TEST to test the new libs.

    How to inject the AGPS data (xtra.bin):
    It will be done in the following situations. (Data connection, WiFi or 3G, is a must in all of them.)
    • When you turn off GPS in setting and turn it on again.
    • When you keep GPS on and reboot. (also inject NTP time)
    • When you keep GPS on and run Leo AGPS Injector. (also inject NTP time)
    • When you keep GPS on and run GPS Status. (or any similar apps to download AGPS)
      • AGPS will be downloaded when you start GPS Status if AGPS is older than X days or Y hours where X and Y are read from the settings.
      • Or you can download it manually from Tools.
    • When you keep GPS on and replace with the modified gps.conf to set AGPS auto-download intervals when using GPS libs v1.8 or above.
      • AGPS auto-download intervals are disabled in default if you don't modify gps.conf.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    How to verify if AGPS works or not:
    • When AGPS works, you will be able to get a full lock (e.g. 7/7, 8/8, or 9/9) in cold start less than 20 seconds if you're outdoor in a sunny day.
      (Full locks mean fix and satellites equals to each other.)
    • If AGPS not works, you may see 5/7, 6/7, 5/8 (fix is less than satellites) right after you get a lock.

    How /system/etc/gps.conf works?
    There're three stock gps.conf in AOSP repository for different regions.
    1. gps.conf_AS_SUPL (Asia)
    2. gps.conf_EU_SUPL (Europe)
    3. gps.conf_US_SUPL (North-America)
    # Explanations are added. Don't copy them below to your gps.conf.
    NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org 　 (Used for NTP time injection)
    XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin 　 (Used for AGPS data xtra.bin injection. Randomly choose from one of these three servers and download xtra.bin from it.)
    XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
    XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
    SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com 　 (Be read but never be used)
    SUPL_PORT=7276 　 (Be read but never be used)
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    SUPL_HOST and SUPL_PORT are not used in current GPS libs implementation, so you can delete them.

    Supported extra settings for /system/etc/gps.conf when using v2.0 or above. (Only valid for HD2)
    Beginning with character # means this line is a comment, so you can remove it.
    You don't need to add any of them if you don't know what they are.

    AGPS works in v1.7. The following workaround is for v1.6 and below versions only.
    Instructions for the AGPS data Injection.
    There're at least three methods (I recommend free apps here.) to be able to inject AGPS data.
    GScript method is the base, so I describe it as follows.
    Please download libgps_Switcher_v1.6.zip, decompress it to your SD card, and follow the steps below if you want AGPS support.
    You need to repeat steps 4 and 5 every time when you need AGPS.
    1. Put the following files in the SD card.
      /sdcard/ClockworkMod/GPS_Libraries_v1.6_for_HD2_Gingerbread_update.zip (Remember to download it.)
      /sdcard/ClockworkMod/libgps_with_AGPS_update.zip (Remember to download it.)
      /sdcard/GScript/1_install_Magic_AGPS.sh
      /sdcard/GScript/2_install_libgps_v1.6.sh
    2. Install GScript or GScript Lite.
    3. Add 1_install_Magic_AGPS.sh and 2_install_libgps_v1.6.sh to GScript.
    4. Run 1_install_Magic_AGPS.sh, and the phone will hot reboot itself.
      After reboot, make sure you have network connection, and wait at lease 1 min to let Android download and inject AGPS data.
    5. Run 2_install_libgps_v1.6.sh, and the phone will hot reboot itself.
      After reboot, you can enjoy the quicker GPS cold lock.

    Changelog:
    • Version 2.1 NMEA|RPC - (Aug. 26)
      • Both: Remove or reduce some debugging info output to logcat. (Cleanup and optimization stage.)
      • Both: Output NMEA or RPC version and parsed settings of gps.conf to logcat.
    • Version 2.0 NMEA|RPC - (Aug. 6)
      • Both: Add GPS1_SESSION_TIMEOUT in gps.conf to set time between invoking pdsm_get_position(). (Default is 2 seconds. Range is 2~120 seconds.)
      • RPC: Hide Fix/Sats info and make the GPS symbol in the status bar flashing when you go to basement or tunnel. (NMEA already has this feature. This is for RPC version.)
    • Version 1.9 NMEA|RPC - (Jul. 29)
      • Both: Include v1.7's latest gps.htcleo.so, gps.leo.so, and gps.bravo.so again.
      • Both: Add a new thread for getting GPS location locks: (Credits to qwerty_7564)
        • gps_get_position() is called in its own thread using callbacks to request the next position.
        • remove unnecessary sleep and the can_send flag in pdsm_get_position().
      • Both: Remove unnecessary mallocs since there is a performance cost for use. (Credits to qwerty_7564)
      • Both: Shutdown the gpsOne engine properly on GPS off. (i.e. turning off GPS from settings) (Credits to qwerty_7564)
      • Both: Support loading the GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED flag from gps.conf. (Set it to 0 if you use a ROM that has "GPS off-and-on bug".)
      • Both: Parse gps.conf and invoke pdsm_xtra_set_auto_download_params() only once until reboot.
      • Both: Support the customized fix update frequency, which is set by a GPS tracking app, via gps_get_position(int timeout).
      • NMEA: Add a timer thread for supporting the customized fix update frequency which is set by a GPS tracking app.
        (As a result, we won't see the fast-forwarding effect in time field in GPS Status, and the random hot reboot issue in NMEA version may be fixed too.)
    • Version 1.8 NMEA|RPC - (Jul. 19)
      • Both: Support automatic (periodic) download requests of gpsOneXTRA assistance data to client. (Default is disabled.) (Credits to qwerty_7564.)

    • Version 1.0 - (May 28)
      • Show the number of satellites before getting a location fix.
      • Show or hide the GPS icon in the status bar instantly when you start or stop a GPS app.
      • Support the leap seconds. (Thanks to arne182 for figuring it out.)
      • Modify the Accuracy to be more reasonable. (Assume Measurement Precision to 10 meters)
      • Add AGPS interface. (Won't see "no AGPS interface in agps_data_conn_open" in logcat now.)
      • Add the missing functions to receive the NTP, XTRA, and SUPL settings from gps.conf.

    Leo AGPS Injector v0.5

    Leo AGPS Injector is an Android app for quickly injecting NTP time and AGPS xtra.bin data, and lets you explicitly know when the AGPS data is injected.

    • Manual execution: Run this app to finish the AGPS injection task manually.
    • Auto execution: Use Script Manager(free app) or Tasker(paid app) to schedule the routine task by using the script below or using any similar method.
      agps_injection.sh
      Code: 
      am startservice -n leo.android.agps/leo.android.agps.AGpsService
    Download and install LeoAGpsInjector_v0.5.apk
    chart



    Changelog:
    • v0.5:
      • Add a network check for refreshing widget's injection time only if connecting to a really available network. (i.e. can download xtra.bin and get NTP time)
        In v0.4, it will still refresh the time even if you are roaming and disable data roaming. (Under this situation, you cannot download anything but this app doesn't know.)
    • v0.4:
      • Merge versions 0.3 and 0.3a:
        Add a check box for determining if showing the setting dialog every time when running this app.
        • When you uncheck it and run this app again, it will inject NTP time and AGPS xtra.bin data, and then destroy this app by itself. So you won't see any UI.
        • When you uncheck it and leave this dialog, you must go to [Settings]->[Applications]->[Manage appliciation]->[Leo AGPS Injector], and press "Clear data" to get this dialog popped up again.
    • v0.3:
      • Add a widget for quickly injecting NTP time and AGPS xtra.bin data.
      • Display the last injection time in the widget.
      • Include three types of notifications: Notification/Status Bar, Pop-up message, and None.
    • v0.2:
      • You can choose to see the real injection time in the notification bar or to be notified through a pop-up message.
    • v0.1:
      • If you network is unavailable, this app will run as a background Service and passively wait for the connectivity change notification from the Android.
        • Besides, you can see the "Waiting for an available network." message in the notification bar.
      • When you network is available, this app will download and inject NTP time and xtra.bin, and then the Service will destroy itself to free the memory, so this app won't occupy your memory.
        • Besides, you can see the real injection time in the notification bar, and you can clear it if needed.

    AGPS Development is finished.

    My modified source code of libgps.so has been uploaded to Github. https://github.com/tytung/android_hardware_leo_libgps

    Notice:
    The source code is released under the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPLv3).
    So you must release your modified source code if you would like to release a modified libgps.so.

    AGPS Devel

    I changed this line in gps_xtra_set_data from leo-gps-rpc.c.
    from:
    Code: 
    res = pdsm_xtra_set_data(_clnt, 0, client_IDs[0xb], 0, xtra_data_ptr, part_len, part, total_parts, 0);
    to:
    Code: 
    res = pdsm_xtra_set_data(_clnt, 0, client_IDs[0xb], 0, xtra_data_ptr, part_len, part, total_parts, 1);
    and agps appears to be working. I have uploaded the modified libgps.so in tytung's zip package just replaced the libgps.so. I was wondering if people would try it out.

    If you want to enable xtra.bin download requests and set download interval, you need to modify gps.conf.
    Set GPS1_XTRA_AUTO_DOWNLOAD_ENABLED to 1 and set GPS1_XTRA_DOWNLOAD_INTERVAL to 24 hr or whatever. (range is 1~168)

    Code: 
    NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
