Thank you did it work as well for you as it did for me?
I get a lock almost instantaneously now, even with only gps on (not wireless location)
It is insanely precise too, it said within 3 meters.
Just flashed agps worked for me scoob which is weird, but you tried world wide I just downloaded the GPS.conf only file flashed it connects fine. I'm in Ontario with virgin

Tried a ton of his patches and they didn't help.
This method gives me a lock in about a second and amazing precision so ill stick with this
Yeah might try it when I get to a desktop. Plus those guys in those threads were dicks.

Agreed lol..
I just used root explorer to copy his example, then changed the server names myself.
Cleared the original gps.conf using "open in text editor " and pasted it in there.
Saved it, and rebooted and voila, fantastic gps finally!
I've always complained about my GPS not as fast and stable as my last Hero. Previously I thought the reason is the antenna design of IncS in the back cover.
But a few days ago I had a chance to compare my phone with another IncS side by side. And to my surprise, the GPS of the other IncS works much better than my. It found more sats than mine and all the signals are stronger too in GPS Status. I tried switching the back cover which made no difference at all.
So I conclude that it's my phone which has a hardware problem. Either it's using an inferior chip or there's some loose connection inside or something.
and why not use the best of both worlds and try to understand some of the values of gps.conf line by line to learn to code it ourselves for our needs.
I hope that some people will try to understand that sharing and learning is more important.
So i decided to search it myself. I haven't finished and it can take some time. But I would welcome anyone with the knowledge to share it here.
for example in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713 some values have comments which is good but should be more explanatory
here are some things from google (translation is bad but you'll get the point about the INTERMEDIATE_POS and ACCURACY_THRES)
http://goo.gl/x1Q8M
By default, GPS enabled for some time, will be in the intermediate state, then have the coordinates can give some inaccurate information. Only when the GPS positioning is successful, will enter the final state, when it reports to the successful positioning of the application, the output coordinate information. I have encountered many of the satellite signal can be locked, but can not locate the problem, because when the GPS has also been in the intermediate state, the delay in entering final state.
INTERMEDIATE_POS this parameter, under normal circumstances should be set to 0, that is, only when the GPS positioning into the final state after that success. But in fact, more satellites in the lock, even if did not enter the final state, the output coordinates can also be very high accuracy. So we can INTERMEDIATE_POS set to 1, allows the GPS in the absence of final state before entering the coordinates of the output inaccurate information, to improve the "positioning" Speed.
In INTERMEDIATE_POS = 1 时, ACCURACY_THRES control when the value of accurate GPS coordinates to the number range of information starts outputting coordinate information, the unit is meters. For example ACCURACY_THRES = 200, meaning that even if no GPS positioning, as long as it coordinates the output error is less than 200 meters, output began to coordinate information from the application point of view, this also like positioning success.

other info
http://www.gpsworld.com/gps/wireless-choices-lbs-control-plane-and-user-plane-architectures-1576
Control plane architecture was designed to provide a location estimate in conjunction with an E911 call. The goal
was to provide high-accuracy, high availability location response to emergency service providers. The positioning capa-
bility would have to handle location requests that could come at any time and from any environment, and no prior
events — such as the opportunity to do a fix outdoors first to optimize GPS receiver sensitivity — could be assumed.
User plane architecture was designed to provide increasing user convenience in terms of speed, accuracy, and ease of entry
for location information in non-emergency use. Current limitations of device size and existing user input devices make
user entry of position both cumbersome and timeconsuming. Auto-location makes the process much simpler, friend-
lier, and more expedient.

Yes, I tried several of these GPS optimization scripts. Frankly, the effect is very limited in my case. So I believe software is not the root of my problem.
This work well for me, tried aGPS Patch, it didn't work though.
Ok since nobody will notice this problem on i9001 general topic on i9000 category, i will make a new thread here.
How do fix this problem ? after a long sleep, like 1-2 hours, wifi will automatically drop and 3g won't properly connect.
Also, Google Plus app can't be deodexed or installed either, so it gives crashes.
How do we fix these ?
Here use the xxkp4 modem http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63588663/SMD_MODEM_I9001XXKP4_CL374422_REV00_user_low_ship_EMMC.rar
Somebody with kq7 please try them and tell us if it's working.
But couldn't we have the modem from xxkq1 ? i am on kq1, just tell me what files to extract and i will make an archive.
I need these files in the "normal" version too (not at .smb format). Can anyone help?
i don't seem to be having the wifi issue... is there any other way i can test to see if i get the issue just to see if there is an isolated reason for the wifi drop...
Edit: just so you know it is XXKQ7 and i did factory data reset from privacy menu in settings after initial boot... and i haven't changed any wifi settings, it's not rooted either (kept it unrooted to test this wifi issue)...
check this thread guys maybe will help you a bit abt wifi probs ...
Nah, it didn't help me.
Tbh, i'll wait for Samsung official Value Pack ROM for us, since KQ1, KQ6 and KQ7 are beta.
Hello
I have just got my note, sadly google maps didn't determind my location till I turned on AGPS. I tried to use gps status to check for sats with no results after 10 min, I knew something were wrong. I root the device & installed lbstest mod & tried to get position. With no results, I tried to check hardware test for gps, also no sat were found, I changed the mods nothing occur.
I tried to change my csc into open europ. & did all check again,& no improvements.
I installed oden & tried to install a complete wipe rom; codec, modem, csc. Open version Still can't get any sat on any gps app.
Samsung middle east says you should pay for changing inboard 400 $ as it not purchased for the main country dealer, as I moved to ksa; as if they know nothing about softcodes.
I also tried to use other pool like Asia or global, niether any results
I checked alogcat to check.. But I couldnt understand much,
Please somebody help.
Moved To Q&A
Please post questions in the Q&A section
mine is similar sometimes, i can wait forever and it wont find a single satelite, but once I reboot it will find and fix onto 10+ satelite within seconds.
I think mine is just a software glitch, its irritating but i can live with it.

It seems to be hardware issue, as i m first time hearing GPS issue on Note.
Anyway if this can help you, take a chance.
Download 'faster fix' from market. And try changing pool from application.
GudLuck!
I already installed fast fixer with no results, if it were a hardware issue, how could we insure it,like a script or gps chip and antenna checker,reading the alogcat show ; gps is on but receiving fix,
Had same problem, then I just deleted old a-GPS data and redownload new one. Then fix within seconds. Try that first and see if it works better.
Re Galaxy note No gps fix No Sat
Sadly I delete the old AGPS Data & update it, with same result, I checked CoPilot with no Sat, I checked GPS Status again, no improvements, I think its Software problem, missing Data " interperting between Software & Hardware" missing Lib or Code.
I ve already attached alogcat, hopefully someone could advice
Regards
I strongly suggest you go back to square one and work from a stock, known good, reliable (as in working on tens of thousands of others), operating system.
Until then you are simply throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks.. this is not a scientific engineering approach... so start by helping others help you.
Thanks
Sorry for disturb, i just wanted to insure that i ve tried several abrouchs. If anybody could suggest a complete wipe nand & boatloader, codec,...... I dont mind i. Any comment is helpfull to me just make sure somone read the alogcat i already posted

Thanks for your interest, I just open the phone & had checked for broadcom GPS chip its already their,so my guess is the GPS antenna, so where it is located? I ll like to try to replace it ( is it on the back cover case ), as checking the log will show us , GPS on but receiving fixes & also GPSweaksignal (0)..

Hi,
can someone upload the photo's again? my GPS has stopped working. I can use assist with Mobile Data but it's slow. The only thing I did before it stopped working was dismantle the phone for a screen repair. I don't know if I had someone not cabled something or unhinged something?? please help
Please,upload photos,i have the same problem!:fingers-crossed:
Hi,
So I've noticed alot of people have problems with their GPS from time to time on these forums so I've decided to collate any and all fixes into one place. Here they are:
NOTE: I'm not responsible for any harm done to your phone. These suggestions are tried at your own risk. These steps can be taken in any order you want and a reboot is recommended after you try each step.
First thing you can do to get accurate fixes is to go to the Location settings on your phone. Tick the boxes next to 'GPS Satellites' and 'Google's location service' (Press agree when the prompt comes up). Also click 'GPS Source' and make sure 'Use Internal GPS' is selected.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Second thing you can do is download the 'GPS Status & Toolbox' app from the market. Once installed go into the app and hit Menu and then select Tools. From the popup menu select Manage A-GPS state. Select Reset and then Download. Reboot and see if you can get a fix now.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It is recommended you have a Nandroid backup before trying anything below.
Third thing you can do is download this GPS Fix made for the Legend (From Kot_Ik’s CM7.2 unofficial thread). Put it on your SDCard and reboot to recovery and flash it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Fourth thing you can do is flash a new radio in recovery. Get one from here. Try the bottom 2 first before trying the top one. This doesn't seem to be supported in the latest versions of CWM so you should load an earlier fake flash zip file. Go here for the recovery and instructions (Thanks ranger4740)

Last thing I can think of is to change ROM's and see if that fixes anything.

This is not needed for old stable releases and was fixed a few weeks ago (so recent RCs and nightly builds already contain that bugfix).

Ali Ba, as you are the legend master, can you please explain why my legend could never achieve GPS lock on ANY version of CM, stable or not, no matter how long my phone tried until I started using the GPS fix mentioned above. I ask because you are the master, and you did say its not nessasary. So that advice is a bit confusing.

It is a config file parsed per line. This means that there shouldn't be any new line characters for lines that the system has to interpret as one.
It's perfectly OK to use a local NTP-server, by the way. It just doesn't fix problems at all. The short differences in the time the packets take to be sent and received are eliminated by the NTP protocol anyway.
Most so called "GPS fixes" are bogus at best (using the newest baseband firmware is something I'd recommend though).

Ok, what I have noticed so far using legend. Don't mess with gps.conf using other custom gps.conf I've use some before (instant lock) and its bogus as Ali ba put it.
Just use faster fix is enough.
OK, now currently I'm on zuebes cm9 and GPS works but getting it to lock is something else. And I love my waze.
I'll get in my car and start waze. Wait for a minutes or 2 than start moving. Lock or no lock, just start moving. Don't drive so fast but stay constant either 40kmh or 60kmh will do just fine. My lock usually happens when I stop at a junction or a traffic light or slow down before a corner.
Then when you lock for the first time. You can combo for the next trip as long as you on your waze at the same spot before leaving. It's instant lock for some cases but need to start over if it does not lock. Assume you use waze.
But if GPS is important. Use stock based rom and ogo2s rom also have good GPS if I remember well... I think its something about HTC didn't release GPS source that we ended up like this.

That's right. There's a bug somewhere in the GPS module but we never got any sources so we don't really know how to work around it. The GPS module on the Legend doesn't have public sources so we hacked together some code from different versions. It works pretty well - once it starts working.
I sometimes can't get a GPS fix either when I started the device with GPS turned off or after toggling GPS a few times. Yeah, it is broken and I am aware of that.
The only "solutions" that really work are rebooting your device with GPS and mobile internet connection turned on. This lets it download AGPS data, inject the current time into the module and you'll get a fix within 20 seconds.
Using the latest radio (=baseband firmware) for your region has been reported to kickstart GPS as well. That's the only fix I can confirm, everything else is shenanigans and you should get your money back .

By quoting me you are implying I'm some one that only knows how to register and start attacking people, how did I attack you, most people here know your the master who gave us all cm for our legend which is wonderful, and I simply asked you as you are the expert to explain how? Then you come back with your B.S answer attacking me, for no real good reason Instead of explaining humanly the answer, you also imply I attack people, when all I do here is try and learn to do stuff, and help others when I can.
Any way best you add me to your ignore list then you won't have to see me attack and abuse every one on xda developers ever again! Hey better still report me to the mods and get me permanently band from xda forums if you've seriously got some evidence of constaintly attacking members.

Agree. Back on topic
...So I am using Zeubea's ICS ROM (BETA3) and my GPS isn't working.
I have refreshed the AGPS-data and flashed the newest (?) radio (7.13.35.05).
In what way is the radio dependent on my geographical location? I live in Sweden, am I using the correct radio?
I get no lock, but I get accuracy of roughly 2km. How is this?
Also, I'm searching for an app to see how many satelites I am connected to, havn't found one yet.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated - thank you in advance ♥

try using mobile data to get a good starting point (google's location service), also check gps source in location settings, and then try to get the precise location somewhere with a good view of sky....every next time it'll be faster, (you can even disable google's location service if you don't like it being turned on,it should still work faster than the first time after flashing)
edit: i just tried what i wrote above and got fix in no time,even from my room,using zeubeas cm9 beta3 freshly flashed... so, enable mobile data for a brief time until you get gps lock then you can disable it if you wish
hello, I have a Mi5 for couple of weeks now, me and a friend was on a trip and his Galaxy s5 GPS worked perfectly after a few seconds, when mine couldn't find the GPS signal, or found him after couple of minutes.
is there any app, or any guide to make the GPS better?
another question - is the new MIUI support the Hebrew language?

Strange, mine works perfect.
GPS fix in seconds, on the MIUI 8 rom and also now on the CM13 rom.
No problem at all.
Maybe you should try a factory reset and try first the GPS, before installing anything else.

To improve GPS you can set NTP servers to those closest to your location. This could be done by editing gps.conf file in etc folder, or by FasterGps app

I downloaded the app you suggested but it wants a root premission, can you tell me how can I do that?

Yeah, you need root to do this. To get root on mi5 you need to unlock bootloader.
