it's the bolded part above i don't get. i've got the country codes - ala
but not sure what you mean by region code?

Thanks you very much.
My phone lock in the sats in 3 seconds!
Using X10i on Miui Tripraver Iris rom.
I added the additional lines in the gps conf.
Only i didnt add/change the SUPL section with my root explorer.
only 2 lines for SUPL section
SUPL_Host+supl.sonyericsson.com
SUPL_Port+7275
Works Great!
Just wandering,by looking at the lines does it mean that the gps work in tandem with the carrier signal? cos i didnt enable data or wifi when i test it.
Note; the plus sign on above is not correct,it suppose to be equal sign. I need a new keyboard!

Can someone explain EXACTLY how to get the gpsconf.txt file into the gps.conf folder? I am using Root Explorer. I am long pressing gpsconf.txt, then pressing copy, then when I press gps.conf I just get the white/now blank screen and there is no apparent way to copy the text into that file. TIA...

i copied the text from an email and just pasted it into the gps file via root explorer. was a pain to get the paste option in there for some reason mind.
i suppose in theory, you could just rename your text file to the conf file after deleting the original (and backing it up)

Yup. It's good. Have a try in your gps and tell us your experience.

Thanks for the suggestion. That's good way of doing it. I will change later on.

Hmm I dont have any problems with GPS on my MyTouch 4G but this is good to know if something happens. Thanks!
Wowie, talk about "stepping in it", although I was still unable to do the move/paste thing in either Root Explorer or ES, I did take your suggestion and renamed the file. Well, now it shows as named: "gpsconf.txt.bak", which is probably not correct, but whatever I did actually works. Props to you, props to Xenova, and to Xrider for the fix, and to nat4u and EDT for a GB ROM that actually has NO bugs...
I can't seem to download the modify file from http://logfile.x10.mx. Once I've clicked, it gives me a blank page.
As a alternative way, you can copy the codes in grey box (in first post) to a notepad, then change the extension name from .txt to .conf then copy to your phone. I will fix the link soon
working
Hi, very nice. For first view it seems to fix all problems on my Galaxy S i9000 (2.3.3, JVK, 2.6.35.7 original-rooted).
I created new gps.config from code on page, added values for europe and czech republic servers, and I could not believe it. It's working.
GPS Status app was helpful too, I finally fix my compass and tilt sensor.
thumbs up

I stay in Singapore and these are the servers I found on http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/sg
server 1.sg.pool.ntp.org
server 1.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 2.asia.pool.ntp.org
The following lines are the lines I edited;
NTP_SERVER=sg.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.sg.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.asia.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
Am I doing the right way? After that, all I need is to change the .txt file to .conf right?

Yupe, I checked for you. It should be right. Because just realized that for Singapore's case bit different. You give it a try and looking forward for your feedback
This would also correct:
NTP_SERVER=sg.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.sg.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.asia.pool.ntp.org

525Guys,
I decided to write this because a lot of us here still facing GPS issue on their device. I almost give up on my HTC Desire HD because of the GPS problem. After I find this trick, now I realized that HTC devices have one of the most brilliant GPS hardware. It always get a location lock within 5 - 15 seconds.
This trick not only to speedup the satelite fixing. Some also found that it increase the reception (strong signal even during cloudy, light raining, and inside building's window). I am one of this case.
Here is the tricks. It is tested on HTC desire HD, SGSII, and speculated to work on most Android device (Please note that it is in sequential order):
Requirements:
- Rooted Device
- File Manager: e.g. Root Explorer
1. Searching for NTP server information
- At the right side of webpage, there is "Active Servers". Go in and look for the setting of your 1)region and 2)country
- For example, one's region is Europe then you write down the NTP server for that: 0.europe.pool.ntp.org; 1.europe.pool.ntp.org; 2.europe.pool.ntp.org; 3.europe.pool.ntp.org
- Then the servers for your country from the list down there and click the link(Example: Switzerland — ch.pool.ntp.org; 0.ch.pool.ntp.org; 1.ch.pool.ntp.org; 2.ch.pool.ntp.org; 3.ch.pool.ntp.org
- The "Italic" words are the information you need to jot down for later use
3. Modify the gps.conf file (Most Crucial Stage)
- Copy the codes in grey box (in first post) to a notepad, then change the extension name from .txt to .conf then copy to your phone
- Use file manager to copy to this location: /etc/gps.conf and replace the original gps.conf
- Open and Edit the gps.conf using rootexplorer or others file managers
- Change the COUNTRY and REGION in following lines with the info you got from the website just now. Keep other values unchange unless you know what it is. Example of REGION such as NorthAmerica, Asia, Africa, Europe.
- Your new gps.conf should look as below:
NTP_SERVER=0.COUNTRY.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.COUNTRY.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.COUNTRY.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.COUNTRY.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.REGION.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.REGION.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.REGION.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.REGION.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=COUNTRY.pool.ntp.org <-This is changed from the top line to here. It may works better if we put it here.

- Make sure the permission of the file is rw-r--r--
4. Reboot
- Go setting, turn on your "use GPS satelites" and "Integrate Google Navigation"
- Restart the device (normal restart)[/B]
5. Use GPS status and Toolbox
- Tool available in market for free, please donate so developers are encouraged for better release in the future[/B]
- Open app> tools> manage A-GPS state>Reset
- Open app> tools> manage A-GPS state>Download
- Optional restart device (not compulsory)
- Use GPS status to start fixing satelites
- Your satelite fixing speed should VERY FAST now
- After get a successul GPS Lock, open your GPS applications and use like normal (e.g. Copilot, Sygic, or TomTom)
Extra Suggestion: Please make sure your GPS is enabled before your device is turnoff or restart. It won't actually use GPS unless you open map-related app or google.com.
CAUTION!!!: DO NOT use fasterfix after this. It will overwrite all the content in gps.conf

[Update: 17 August 2012]
Sometime even my phone won't work consistently. It won't able to get fix within 30seconds everytime. And i found this tool can be very very help to make sure my agps 95% up to date and thus has the best performance.
The tool is called "Leo AGPS Injector" developed by Tytung. Please click thanks or consider donation on the following post to thanks for the developer - Tytung. I have no credit at all for this tool. I just share it.
Here is the link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16384028&postcount=1907
Step to use the tool:
- Install and place the widget on your home screen
- Ensure your GPS setting is on
- Make sure you're conencted to Internet / Mobile data
- Press on the widget to inject AGPS data
- Now you're good to go. The internet can be turn-off now. and your gps should work well
Note: I noticed once i connect to a big internet network (such as my university internet network). My GPS won't work anymore.
This is what i do to make it back to normal:
- Connect to Mobile data (3G) and use "Leo GPS injector"
- if it is still not working, i switch to airplane mode and back to normal mode again, then repeat step 1
Please post your feedback to let others know it works on your device model

just for sharing6Thank you very much for this post.
Fortunately I've never had a GPS issue on my DHD, but still I would love to "fully" understand your solution ...
If it is possible, can you please explain what exactly these settings do, or can you post some links where I can find some extra info regarding these settings and their "ïmpact" for my DHD ..
(Always curious, you know !)
and, what exactly is meant by
Do you want me to put permissions on a settings selection in the "Settings - Location" options ?
Sorry if my question is unclear, but I'm a bit puzzled by that part of your solution post.
AGAIN !! Thanks for the nice post and great effort .. Much appreciated !!5@Xenova

I think you should update OP using https instead of http:
5If I missed the answer, I apologize, but I noticed a lot of people wondering how / why this works.(Yes, I know it's an old thread, but figure people may still want an answer.)
The biggest factor is that this gps.conf enables Assisted GPS (A-GPS). AGPS is a technique which uses the cell tower you're connected to to approximate your location, and using that approximate location and GMT (Grenwich Mean Time) to identify the satellites your GPS chip looks for.
Normally, on a cold start, a GPS simply starts scanning the sky for all GPS satellites. There are currently, I believe, 31 functioning satellites in the US system. Since the GPS has no idea which of those 31 are visible to your receiver, it can take a long time to find and lock on to the minimum # of satellites to enable a location fix (3 for a 2 dimensional fix, 4 to get altitude).
But the GPS satellites are in predictable orbits. If you know the time, and your approximate location, you can know which satellites are going to be visible in the sky above you. That's what A-GPS does. Your NTP time server tells it the time, the cell tower tells it your location. The GPS can then easily calculate which of those 31 satellites are overhead, and lock onto those very quickly while ignoring all the rest.
There is a potential downside. If you're not connected to a cell tower, A-GPS doesn't know where you are. Some phones won't provide GPS lock at all in that case. So you might want to keep the original gps.conf on your phone, renamed as gps.conf.back, so that if you find yourself in an area without cell service, and GPS isn't working, you can revert back to the original file.
