Just did the mod. GPS signal picked up in less than a minute. Used to take 10-15mins. Thank you!

No, pretty sure it just tells GPS where to look first, then if it doesn't find you there it looks elsewhere. It may just take an extra few seconds, but I think it basically gives it a starting point.
Doesn't really help me... Why does gps respond better with wifi simply turned on... Doesnt need to be connected just turned on

I have same issue. With about all custom ROM/kernel combos I get location errors or my sense clock widget tells me I'm in Philadelphia when I am in Kansas, unless I simply turn WiFi on. Not connected, just on. If I turn it on and my location works....
Worked great for me, GPS was always taking several minutes to find me, but after this it locked on in about 10 seconds.
Thanks!

im still 1700 meters away, is it just possible my location? im in phoenix, and even my fascinate did this ****..
Guys I made a flash-able install zip for this MOD for my ROM Tesla Coil but it should work with any ROM http://bit.ly/icAl0c
My gps locates me 2 blocks away from where I'm at lol not cool

There is also an app that does this. It was very popular with the samsung fascinate users since their GPS lock times sucked at first. Thanks though
my gps is always good anyway, but i flashed this and it locked instantly. Nice...

My GPS issues appear to have been weather related. Worked fine today.
Wow fast lock!
No difference for me. Mine locks instantly with or without the mod.
I have a problem where if I haven't rebooted the phone for a couple days, the GPS doesn't locate me in Maps, Zillow, etc. Launch Maps or Zillow, it will just sit there with the big blue shaded circle with the center no where near me, and the GPS icon flashing... or Navigation saying "searching for GPS" when trying to get directions..
Power off/on... GPS finds me quick.
Will this mod fix that?
Another quick fix for GPS that I've found is GPS Status. Download GPS Status from the Market, click menu->Tools=>Manage A-GPS state->Download. It just makes sure you have the latest Assisted GPS data from the web.

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!

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.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
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...

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.

Hey guys,
I opened this thread to see how people is using Google Now nowadays. I found myself excited about the launch of it, but now I found it pretty boring and useless. First, I sometimes use it for weather, the other functions are not really working. Everyday I'm going to my workplace, at the same hour, working in the office between 9 am - 2pm and 5 pm - 8 pm. I have the location history enabled, the house address and workplace address both added, I see the statistics in my dashboard and my current location in latitude (no check-ins however), but Google never advised me that I need to leave from home to be in-time at work or reverse. The only things I got was some live scores and some random mistakenly notifications like "78 minutes to home", while I was only like 200 meters away.... Also, I found that if I search my job address in Google Maps, the location is correctly shown, but in dashboard, I'm getting that briefcase (workplace icon) wrong positioned with around 80-100 meters. Otherwise, Google Now is answering to all my questions and working pretty good, but I don't find it really smart...
Google Now works well. It is just that Google Maps have a long way to go. Many routes it shows are not the fastest, etc.
Like you i was pretty excited about the whole thing, the problem is that the tradeoff in battery life simply isn't worth it for me.

absolutly agree with you..
i noticed that when i'm with wifi enabled, if i look at battery usage, wifi is always connected even in standby (with wifi disable option active)
double checked and if Gnow is disabled wif act as it was supposed..
It would be great if there was some way to change the location poll frequency to maybe every 15 minutes or whatever, rather than the default.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I see no huge changes in battery life since I activated the location and search history in my phone just for Google Now. The problem is that the check-ins are not regular, I'm getting bad locations sometimes, so Google Now can't give me information about when I need to leave home because of traffic or so.... Nothing. Got one notification in a whole month and that one was wrong as I said in my first message. No idea what I need to do instead. Check in at work at the same hour daily? Why the pin sometimes is flying like 500 meters away from my location (that's what I see in dashboard) while the google maps app is showing my location with 16m accuracy even if I'm in a building?

You can change the way each card works and when you want them to appear, also changing the priority of the weather card to low also helps.

Menu -> Settings -> Google Now -> Switch to OFF. then you can delete the location history and search history in Google Dashboard and disable the latitude and all the rest of stuff or you can simply reset the phone and don't activate it again.

He means that the Google is checking your location randomly instead to checking it every 15 minutes or so.
The big question is....how to make Google Now know that I'm starting the work at 9 am, so I will get those cards saying "30 minutes to work" or something like that. Google knows that I'm working as I'm getting those fancy graphics in the Dashboard (https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0/dashboard) saying that I'm working X hours per week and Y hours I'm home, but the data is not accurate perfectly. I reset the data but same story now. Not sure if it's because my location sometimes jumps some kilometers away even if I have the wifi and gps enabled. Do I need to use Latitude and autocheckin or something like that to get accurate data ?

Hi all,
Loving the phone and for all who are still waiting for it due to shortages, keep at it, you won't regret it....
loving the phone and happy to use Blinkfeed for news stories (fb and twitter not so good on it)... But I can't figure out for the life of me figure out how to get it to pull data for my home location. I have set up London as my home and refuse to leave location services on all the time (battery drain and all that).... So why is it so hard to get Blinkfeed to tell me the weather in my home location? Should be a no brained but it's bugging me no end and I refuse to give in any activate gps all day long when I seldom use it... Please help

This happened to me as well.. It wouldn't say London but it still wouldn't show the weather icon next to the clock above Blinkfeed. What worked for me was, I had to turn on mobile data, turn on GPS and then go back into weather and it should get your current location.

Hi.
I work in London and live in Bromley and I've seen no problems with the widget reflecting my 'current' location.
The only thing I remember doing is removing all other hard coded locations in the widget except my current location. I've also got all location services switched on (Not GPS) because I like the features available with this.
Only had the phone two days so hard to assess the potential drain on battery with location services, but based on an overnight charge and having used the phone on the train to browse, read email etc I'm currently at %79 charge after 7.5 hours..... certainly better than my S2.

tbh the effect of leaving GPS on all day is probably negligible - ive never turned it off on any phone ive had that had the feature :s
The crazy thing is that I can separately grab the clock and weather widget which is identical to the Blinkfeed header and it asks my location and I complete it and done... That works fine!... I just can't tell the same thing to the Blinkfeed widget! Crazy!

Glad u am not alone on this problem. Have tried loads of things, but still no weather for my city and it says data not available....
Maybe there are others out rather, but I think there must be a setting otherwise everyone would have suffered this issue.
Any new help or suggestions out there would be appreciated.

Have you guys tried enabling/disabling mock locations in the development section on the settings?
Also if my guess is right based on "unable to connect to location service" it could be that your internet provider is block the port used by the weather widget. Have you guys tried using WIFI instead?
You have to have location services switched on. You dont need GPS switched on but you do need location services switched on.
Have you checked the sync settings for HTC Weather? I have mine set to auto update every few hours, you might need that on too.
I had this issue and everything was switched on. All you need to do to fix the issue is go into the clock app and select you location. Worked for me. Took 30 Seconds to update.

Yep, I tried it all, with wifi and mobile data also. I also tried the location setup on the clock.... Still no fix.
Remember, I added the separate HTC clock and weather widget on another desktop screen.. That worked fine with my location. The clock and weather at the top of Blinkfeed are identical, just the weather still shows no data

I havn't got my phone with me at the minute to check. But it was in the clock app. I think I also deleted all the time zones and reset my location. My clock widget was also fine when the blinkfeed app wasn't. I will be able to check at lunch.

I live in Mississauga, Ontario (Canada) and Google Now thinks I live in Hornby, Ontario which is like 45min away from me. Google maps seems to get my exact location (the GPS doesn't lock on it keeps saying "searching for location" or something like that but still shows me exact right location- when I have a SIM the GPS lock works perfectly). Google Now however doesn't fiind my right location with or without a SIM (always connected to internet via wi-fi). When I ask things like "what the weather" or "how's the traffic" it will give me information based on if I was in Hornby which I am not.
This has been going on for a couple of months now and is driving me CRAZY!
Any insight would be helpful - Thanks!

You can tell Google now to give you the temperature for that location for example, "what is the weather like in Buffalo, New York?" Give her a location and she'll reply back.
