can you specify/link to the files? i did not find any post within this thread by 'crypx'. but no, i havent tried the files, what would they do and where can i find them?
i took pretty much the same approach, also had empty envelopes (without strings), then after updating gps.vision.so stings appeared.redchili: Firstly, I check for NMEA strings in TurboGPS (easier imho). Before I fixed my GPS, only envelopes were appearing and strings next to them. After the fix, I get envelopes and some $GPxxxxx strings next to them. When I get envelopes and strings it is a signal to me that GPS is working 100% correctly. ...
however, even after 15-20 minutes of letting googe maps (no other gps-apps installed) try to get a fix (outdoors, no movement) nothing happened (but remember i did a efs wipe!).
i finally made a discovery after i installed locus leading to a partial success:
after disabling gps and forcing a reset of agps-data through locus (data-connection enabled) and thereafter re-enabling gps i suddenly got gps-signals from 6-9 satelites with good signal strength but according to the display of locus very unstable reception, meaning going down to 1 or 0 satelites-signals being received all of a sudden, then back up to 4-5 and generally takeing a long time (5-10 minutes) to finally acquire a fix when not moving.
after waiting for some time and re-trying the same behaviour seemed to occur with disabling gps and resetting agps-data leading again to a rather unstable gps-signal-reception occasionally leading to a fix (with is often lost shortly after). only disabling and re-enabling GPS mostly leads to no satellite signals being displayed in locus.
i also checked with turboGPS but never got empty envelopes afterwards so from my perspective having non-empty envelopes in turboGPS is (sadly) not really the finishing line.
ok, my compass troubles seem to be indeed a different issue as mentioned here (sum-up: compass/accelerometer sometimes not working unless another rom (e.g. Virtuous Infinity) was installed and nandroid backup reinstalled afterwards).about compass: I never had any problems with it, I check with GPS Status or Turbo GPS's sensors. ...
same for me, altough with CM7.1about GPS issues: I had problems with GPS since my radio flash. Even last cyanogenmod 7 (gingerbread) had them. ...
ok, my behaviour is a little different from yours as i always had a GPS-icon come up (also after EFS-wipes) when an app tries to determine the GPS-position.... For me, the following steps fix the GPS : 1. Flash flinnycm, boot, let GPS run for a while 2. replace gps.vision.so using adb 3. reboot. After that I get envelopes and strings. If I did EFS wipe during reboot, then I would not even get a GPS icon on statusbar. ....
weird.. will experiment further. any other ideas / hints?
