DL09 Slower GPS Fix

[iTz Nicholas72]

Ever since it updated to DL09 my GPS times went from 15 seconds max with DJ05 to nearly a minute with DL09.

I've flashes that radio, full iron package, and tried 3 different ROMS and nothing helped.

Anyone else having this problem?

I'm ready to go back to DJ05 if this can't be fixed.

Im trying mine right now and I have been waiting going on two minutes now.. outside sitting in a car. I'm thinking about going back to DJ05 where it was much faster.

Mine slowed down by at LEAST 45sec on lock time after going to DL09 as well

PS. Also saw no improvement in Battery life or anything else for that matter over DJ05

My gps never locked within half a mile of me on dj05 im now dl09 and it will lock with a wifi and thats it. Im dying to get this solved. Im ready to get rid of the phone because of it.

So I decided to test the GPS lock times on DI01, DJ05, and DL09 with the stock Verizon/Samsung ROM/kernel just to make sure it wasn't ill effects of rooted roms or anything like that.

DI01 - 74 seconds
DJ05 - 13 seconds
DL09 - 69 seconds

I used GPS Status & Toolbox to test the GPS and track lock times. Each time I odin'd to another build I did a data/cache wipe and went through the same set-up process while just downloading the GPS Status & Toolbox application from the Market.

I don't understand why the newest update is giving me worse performance but honestly it's kinda not surprising considering it came from Samsung/Verizon.

Your little test is fine and dandy but it doesnt solve the problem. Some of us never get a lock on any version. I dont think the versions are the problem. I think these phones a faulty gps sensors.

Using dl09 with stupid fast, blackish storm, and every mod I like.

I'm using the stock DL09 update and the last time I connected to gps with google maps it took 15 seconds max. I just had to remember to turn on the google gps services option.

Ive got everything turned on. The closest ive ever got was within 1/2 mile or so

I find that I use Google Services that my accuracy goes down that drain.

My best luck had been with DJ05, and having Standalone GPS and VZW Location Services (aGPS).

PS try using GPS Status and Toolbox.

My experience with dl09 has been totally opposite. With di01, I would get 3-5 min. lock times with only 2/3 of available satellites fixed. Since loading Adrynalyne's dl09 modem, rom & kernel, I get >10 sec. lock times on all satellites available. It finds me in my house in the woods of northern MI with > 10 ft. of error.
