I seen a few threads on GPS fixes. I read them and still see some people having issues after applying fixes. I found out something interesting so it's my turn to post a fix for the GPS issue.
Here is what this will fix:
taking a long time to get a fix.
Not being able to keep a fix.
Not accurate data.
GPS consuming more battery then it should.
I can tell every one who is having trouble still right off the bat that they have their TB's overclocked.
I found out something interesting while trying to get from point a to point b a few days ago. All of a sudden I was having all sorts of issue that I never had before. After futzing around to try and find a solution I focused on the only thing different then usual.
I had my TB overclocked to 1.5GHZ when I normally don't go much higher then 1.2GHZ. mostly not to drain the battery.
My unit took several minutes to get a fix, and when it did, if I started moving again,(driving down the road) it completely lost the fix, or it was sporadic at best.
I lowered the clock speed to 1.2ghz. Killed all apps for a fresh start. Started navigate again, and I got a fix in less then 10 seconds. And it held a fix.
I put the clock speed back to 1.5ghz and I lost the fix again. Problems were occurring again.
I was able to get a good fix at 1.3ghz, but it took a tad longer, still under a minute to get a fix, but at 1.2 it works flawlessly.
Apparently the chipsets used for GPS don't like too high of a frequency above normal.
If anyone is having an issue with GPS, lower your cpu to 1.2ghz or lower. Kill all apps. then restart your GPS software.
Hope this helps any one having issues out!
Great theory, and may be true to an extent. I don't oc and today I could not get a lock to save my life. And I was in wide open lake country where a lock should have been instant.

Yea I dont OC at all and Still even with a couple of patches Ive tried, it still dont work right.
My gps has never worked correctly since I got the phone. So interesting theory, but purely circumstantial and unscientific testing. The issue comes about from XTRA code being incomplete in the framework.jar. This is needed for fast locks. Secondly, the radio needs updating. Both are present in a yet unreleased TB ota.
Why you see wildly different results is that eventually, even a standalone gps locks. Fiddling with settings and so forth, you eventually get a lock. Once you have lock and keep it 'warm' with somewhat regular use, you get the illusion of your gps being fixed.

anytime buddy!
Yeah, I'll agree with everyone (minus the troll). The OC may be affecting your problem, or seem like it is. But, me, from the time I walked out of the store my GPS has not locked a single time. Glad I've still got my not-much-better fascinate to use nav with hhaha.
Currently, using the unreleased update I mentioned, I wait a maximum of 10 seconds on q cold lock, and I'm overlooked to 1.5ghz.

You do realize that adrynalyne is one of the developers helping make this, and other phones better right? Quit being a child, show some respect to people - be it devs or other trolls like yourself.

Has any dev thought about removing the reminder that the alarm clock gives when setting an alarm?
Its kind of a let down when you set your work alarm, and it says 2 hrs till the alarm goes off.
Just a thought.

Mmmmmmm, interesting ...
2.3.4 FTW!!!!!
My first instinct is this will be an update, not the rollout. We'll see
Maybe they fixed the keyboard?? Nah, doubt it.

Makes sense. The EF02 release was too buggy to be a RC, plus it still has the debugging code embedded in it. Maybe EF10 was a RC?
Bluetooth audio quality fix maybe
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Well hopefully it's a GPS fix as well as everyone on the leak is losing signal after 10-15 minutes or so yielding it pretty much unusable.
And EF16 sounds so much cooler than EF02.

EF10 and I've noticed no such problem.
I wish google talk video chat worked properly though.
EF16, that was quick. Do you suppose there will be a leak of it before an official release? Forgive my ignorance but what is this Sprint "Playbook" I see referred to from time to time and when is it updated?
Well here is something im sure most of you have never seen before!

I wonder if it was so cold that the driver thought that the senser was broken, and returned 200C as an error flag? Had you just awoken the phone?
I doubt the phone would boot past 100c, let alone 200c that would explode right in your hand.
I started encryption on my VS980 a little while ago now, maybe 30-40 minutes... I'd read it can take an hour, but the progress percentage has not moved at all. Am I in trouble, or will it jump up at the end when its done?
I'm scared.

No, you're not in trouble, when doing an encryption, it's encrypting everything on your device, so it can take awhile, especially depending on how much you have on your device.[emoji4]

Ok, also I forgot to mention, once the encryption is done, I suggest shutting down your device for the CPU to cool down.

It lives! and it seems like it maybe worked even, I had a new PIN screen that wasn't there before. Which worked. Thanks for the help. I'm thinking about going to try and get a G3 today anyhow, though I love my G2 I think I can get into a G3 for about 100$
