Download a gps status / gps test program from the market.

[Q] Location of the internal GPS antenna?

Hello,
I had a HTC Touch Diamond and I used this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=484551 for a faster GPS connection.
So my question, where is the internal GPS antenna of the HTC Wildfire? When I know this, I will try the same for a faster and better signal/connection. Because on Froyo, it takes too long before your location has been found in a navigator app.
Thanks in advance.

Gps lock in 5 sec

Hey i had purchased the galaxy 3 months ago.In the stock firmware i get the gps lock in around 3-4 minutes in india.But the moment i had changed the gps server from north-america.pool.ntp.org to in.pool.ntp.org i get the gps lock in 5 sec with 10 sat's.
For your region gps server do visit the website pool.ntp.org

did someone try it?

I found a special fasterfix program that does the same...

where to change the gps server???
my phone is rooted i only need the location of the file

Will be nice to post how u did that?
@Humpie - if there is a program doing that same please share with us its name
I'm not full of strange to start digging in internal android files without know what to do

use root explorer (or similar) and navigate to /system/etc/. set it to read/write mode (in the upper right corner there is a button for that) and edit the gps.conf file as written above

whatever i do i cannot get a lock it's saying that it cannot get a fix on my location
i changed it from europe to india(in)
am using a custom rom-kyrillos v4 rRC

Navigation HERO (by entering gps coordinates)

Is there any navigation soft, where can I navigate on specific latitude and longitude coordinates, by walking in wild nature?
Thanks, it's urgent for me.

Use gps status, free on the market. Or try gps test plus.

GPS Status
Superb app my friend, thanks a lot, this is just the thing Ive been looking for. Cheers

Here's how I solved the GPS / FIX problems!!!

Hello everyone ...
I upgraded to Gingerbread, I realized that there was no longer among the programs the compass ... So after downloading it again, opening it, I realized that was not working properly, so I had to calibrate ... Then I also downloaded fasterfix from the market ...
Result GPS and FIX my SGS are back to work!
In the hope of being useful to you I apologize for the English translation is not so accurate!
Let me know if this suggestion helped you solve your problems with GPS and FIX!!

I downloaded a free aps called Gps Aids (from Market) and now the GPS on my SGS (froyo) works beautifully.

what about 2.3.4 FW?

I use fasterfix on 2.3.4

Alwais remember to calibrate your compass... And if u don't know how try search on google... ;-)

GPS Aids is the best apk for GPS fix...
Regards

It works thank you for sharing.

GPS aids + proper NTP server + setting from STANDALONE to MSBASED for faster fix.

jvo gps files - crap gps
jv9 gps files - better
nexus gps files - best
=)
gps aids is crappy mostly paid app and ntp server have close to zero impact on gps =)

almost all 2.3.3 uses JVO GPS file - aside off some carier or asian

I also recomend GPS Aid, it fixed my Gps after upgrade to 2.3.3 by Kies.

I dunno about all the above gps applications as to how good they are, cos they workat different levels of efficiency at different times, but I have seen that if you have the correct gps.conf file based on the geographical location (continent preferably) it has always given me a within 30 sec lock and a <30 m accuracy everytime.
