[ROM][KANG] CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 (10. feb 2012)

DooMMeeR · Dec 22, 2011 at 4:33 PM

I will make a release tomorrow or after christmas which could fix GPSproblems for some of us

precision is still not back to normal, but at least it will give a lock in the <22m range
it is still choppy and I still do not know why -.-

I don't get it, GPS works fine for me on all cyanogen roms. I have radio 47.51.35.17U_7.13.35.05.

I know I am probably one of the rare ones to use Legend without the data plan. My GPS works but it usually takes 3-4 minutes to get a fix.
Is there any chance to improve it as changing NTP settings in config are useless for me, right?
This is on 47.54.35.20U_7.13.35.13

GPS still not locking on to Sat's.

Hey all, I also have issues with gps not working on any version of cyanogen.
Gps always worked with stock HTC OS, so I don't think it is faulty Hardware.

I've tried all the radio's that are available, tried the gps.config mod, tried various different gps apps from the market.

What I can report is that my phone is "seeing" upwards of 12 sat's, it is also "using" upto those 12 sat's. but it never actually achieves "LOCK".

I'm not a dev, nor do I know very much about android programming, however, I've had quite a bit of experiance with GPS devices (Hacking, re programming and installing new satnav software and maps etc), even converted my satnav into a pda for a while but processor was too slow.

My theory is that there are some settings in the core/framework/OS that need some tweaking, I have no idea where to start looking for possible setting, although, I have been looking and not found what I've been looking for.
The signal strength showing up in the GPS testing apps a is around 27 or so, these are the same signal strengths as when I was running stock Eclair and then on the Froyo update. Perhaps there is a setting for signal threshold (Squelch) stopping the GPS from achieving lock?
Something for a Dev. or other advanced android programmer to think about...

Thanks
ranger

You can play with settings in /system/etc/gps.conf.

Try adding these two lines,

INTERMEDIATE_POS=1
ACCURACY_THRES=5000

and change the accuracy with the setting you think is the best for you. It will lock you faster but not as much accurate until it fixes completely. 5000 is too high number in my opinion.

exactly the same thing here...

I'm using "GPS Test" from market to test the GPS. Yesterday I had upto 13 satellites "In View" and 11 "In Use". Most of the sats had a strength of about 22 (SNR value..?).. just one got upto 37 but well, still not enough :S

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll give those settings a test in a while when I have a spare few Minutes and see what happens
ACCURACY_THRES sounds very much like what I've been looking for, but I'd say not actually there to be found, Thanks again :-D

4. January build up with minimal improvements. Cyanogenmod 7.2 is near according to cyanogen's twitter.

Sorry to report that in my case, those settings didn't help, I tried changing the vaules for lower ones but not higher.

I left my phone on the window sill (inside) over night (about 7 hours) and still no lock from gps reciever.

I found some information on a different forum with lots of other settings not found in the gps.config, not for legend though, but for samsung that also has GPS issues with cyanogen, the information stated that the other settings are for ALL PHONES.

Below is an example of the other settings I am talking about the link is reference for where the information comes from.

http://android.modaco.com/topic/331446-mod-all-roms-gps-fix/

## GPS FIX - Modified by wbaw - r0.2 ##

## NTP Time server, use a local one ##

NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org
# NTP_SERVER=0.uk.pool.ntp.org
# NTP_SERVER=0.asia.pool.ntp.org
# NTP_SERVER=0.oceania.pool.ntp.org
# NTP_SERVER=0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
# NTP_SERVER=0.south-america.pool.ntp.org
# NTP_SERVER=0.africa.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
DEBUG_LEVEL = 3

## Intermediate positioning, reduces accuracy, increases speed
INTERMEDIATE_POS=1

## Accuracy threshold for intermediate positioning
## 0 for no threshold causes 'Skipton bug'
ACCURACY_THRES=5000

## Enables network positioning before you get a gps fix
ENABLE_WIPER=1

### AGPS SETTINGS ###

## Use Google AGPS server
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276

## Comment the above 2 lines & uncomment the lines below
## to use Orange UK AGPS server

#SUPL_HOST=agpss.orange.co.uk
#SUPL_PORT=7275

## More AGPS settings
CURRENT_CARRIER=common
DEFAULT_AGPS_ENABLE=TRUE
DEFAULT_SSL_ENABLE=FALSE
