I use Co-Pilot, or if you want a free gps, try to port the htc locations to your device, using adb, or flash the rom that has the included htc locations (mordoco i believe)
jark, i am not looking for a GPS app but an app that will tell me whats apps i have installed are using GPS or location. i am having a problem with my GPS so i wanna try and see if theres another app thats using GPS is screwing it up. thanks
menu>settings>applications>show permissions>fine (GPS) location
this will show you what apps are using what security permissions on the phone
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.

Hey everybody,
Just wanted to let you guys know that I was messing around with the GPS setting trying to get my location to be correct on the first try with Google Maps. After tinkering, I found that if I unchecked the Google location Services box in menu>settings>location my location was read almost instantly and accurately! Bidding me farewell to Google Maps saying I was 50 miles away from where I really was.
Hope this helps for everyone, I know it did for some friends.
Let me know if it works, and good luck!
Cool. My Google maps tracked exactly where I was. Even the corner of the intersection(where is my house is located on the street)

I installed the zip file, after it took about a minute to lock on, and after it locks almost instantly. Is this normal to take so long first time locking on?
If you are using a custom ROM then yes it is. I know that from my experience, even after installing the zip I was getting a little lag and even getting the wrong location for about 3 second then it would lock on correctly. Doing what is mentioned in the original post fixed that problem for me entirely. Hope this answers your question!

This is the greatest info I have read regarding the GPS issues with the Thunderbolt! Such a simple fix but one that doesn't make sense at all. Regardless thanks a heap OP! A mod should sticky this information for all to see!
Seems to break location altogether for me when I disable Google location services. Can't get a fix in maps or the sense flip clock weather.

Great bud! Glad I could help!! I would love for a mod to sticky this, it is such an easy (odd but easy, lol) fix yet so many people absolutely hate that the gps won't work right. Hope more will see it and get their GPS working the way it should. Again glad I could help. That's the beauty of a community like this, between all of us, we can make so damn phenomenal phones! lol

Sorry about that, i figured it would be safe to call it that since there is clearly no true fix to this issue anywhere as far as i know at least. Please do correct me if I'm wrong. It worked for quite a few people I know so I thought i would try to help some people out.
Thanks. At least its more accurate now.

I think what we are seeing here is that the gps is not using agps at all. Proper operation would be the agps actually assisting the quicker lock. Instead the agps and gps are working separately and by disabling agps....the locks should still be slow no matter what.
It is for me anyway.
That said, standalone gps will always be more accurate.

Funny thing is, standalone how isn't even working, since when you turn off Google location services it shuts off completely. Also for me it seems to be attached to WiFi so if its off it says I'm within a 2 mile wide area...

No...that's how agps works. It will be within a few miles.
WiFi triangulation will always give quick locks.
Standalone gps does work, its just slooow.

I too was having the lag in getting a gps fix. My solution was:
1. Download GPS Status from the market
2. Under menu/tools select Manage A-GPS state
3. Press reset
4. back to menu/tools Manage A-GPS state
5. Press download
I now get instant fix.
Hope it works as well for you.

This just proves ephemeris data is not being downloaded, or used by the GPS automatically. I'm sure HTC will fix it in the future.
I hope, anyway.

Worked for me. Going from no lock to lock in under three seconds.
why is this in Development, nothing was developed, just a simple suggestion of changing settings which doesnt work for everyone.

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.
Hi,

Thanks in advance!

How about the battery?
And...is there a good navigation system working for the flipout? (eg. copilot)
Thanks again!

i use navigon at this moment
Just wanted to let u all know that google maps have launched offline navigation coupled with turn by turn GPS. Update ur map app and go to Labs in the app.

I have Whatsapp installed for some days and can verify that the battery will still last at least the whole day.
