[bestfil]

Hello!
how do You think: is it possible to flash it in kitkat and gt-i9305?
I think I've lost ability of fixing via glonass sats.

I don't know if it's problem of 4.4 ver. and/or kernel.

dear dr ketan i am having Korean note shv-e250s.i was on 4.1.2 and GPS was working excellent no issues at all.

after upgrading it to 4.3 sammy custom rom and also running CM 11 on it.... (i can install N7105 roms on SHV-e250x both being LTE)

i have lost GPS signals rather its not functional at all. i dont see any satellite normal or GLONAS...went back to factory rom , tried your gps fix,did other changes in GPS.conf but no result....

i read some where on the net that getting into service mode byrunning *#197328640# and going into UMTS main menu and selectiog COMMON
and then selectiong NV REBUILD solved the problem...

but on STOCK ROM this command is not running and on CUSTOM rom it says no support in custom binary

what should i do ???
plz help

@dr.ketan, can this gps fix work perfectly with the current custom tw roms based on Kitkat? No updates? Thank you.

You dont have to flash it if you dont want to.
You can extract from the zip the file you need for your country
and push with a root explorer.I did it this way and it works like a charm.

To save power, the GLONASS receiver is only activated in problematic locations, such as in an urban environment with high rise buildings. Therefore, if you are in an open sky environment where there are enough GPS satellites available to calculate a good accuracy position, GLONASS will automatically be switched off temporarily to enhance the battery lifetime.

I have a Galaxy Nexus (ie. Google phone Third edition) whose GPS barely works when used in foreign countries, ie. without a data connection: Even when riding a bike the whole day in open skies, it is rarely able to locate me, and even when it does, it fails following while I move around.

I only use my phone for phone + reading the web + geolocalizing.

Before I buy a new phone, I was wondering if getting a GPS + Glonass smartphone such as the Nexus 5 will solve that problem, or are smartphones just not very good tools for geolocalizing?
Thank you.

I have Re Tested again and result is same as i have stated in OP.
I have installed faster fix and 4 time tested and not single time it get fixed with glonass. I have used same europe setting like you. Also it took long time to fix.

And after using Europe setting with tool. you can see glonass satellite here.

So may be data have not been cleared (also needs reboot after deleteing gps folder contents) Can you check again what files you have deleted to clear contents.

Please tell us the manual installation process.

Using GPS fixer with phonegap.

Can we use GPS fixer with phonegap framework application(android) to get correct latitude,longitude through GPS?.
If it is possible than how can we achieve this in phonegap.

This solved my problem of not getting a gps fix when using my gps navigation app on my old korean note 2 lte phone E250S.
I had to temporarily use my old note 2 because my latest phone was damaged.
Combined with dr.ketan's bloatware remover and selected Xposed modules, my old phone became very snappy.
Thanks to the Developers.
