hey guys,
anyone know how to re-calibrate gps?
i'm not getting any fixes to satellites and i'm in central londonwhere i expect to get something.
i recently had a problem with lost imei but lyriquidperfection has fixed that for me.
i doubt this is related to that but thought to mention it just in case.
so just looking to re-calibrate gps so i can get some satellite fixes.
thanks.

What I'm most curious about is the GPS, since Samsung did design the phone does it have the same issues with GPS as the Galaxy S does..
I know we probably won't know until next week, but still curious.

I am pretty damn sure that the issue has been resolved, i mean it would be absolutely stupid if they didnt
I'd hope so, but then again. The original I9000 Galaxy S phone shipped with broken GPS and then when they came to the US, they had broken GPS...
But in the end, software tweaks fixed most of the GPS issues if you had a rooted phone.
Yea my vibrant GPS is fine now but when on jfd firmware GPS and compass were faulty but was only software related.
But even now with everything working I noticed that my GPS and phone antenna interfere cuz putting my phone in flightmode makes GPS much more accurate so I'm thinking this s why they replaced the antennas.
But yea GPS should be fine on NS

The GPS chip in the NS is different from the SGS series. It'll work just fine.
Acording to FCC they changed the antenna

Yes they changed the antenna. The Vibrant's GPS works anywhere, hard-ware wise. It was just some of the software builds that it didn't work on.
I just read a review that stated gps worked "flawlessly"

Which review?
Engadget did a review but stupidly did not test the GPS. What a shame review.

Il do some searching and try to find it. I don't think it talked about the gps it just had a little headline in the middle that said wifi and gps work flawlessly.

Hi everyone. I upgraded my sgs from jg4 to jvp but now my gps seems insatiable of getting a lock. It can see 6-9 says after about 30s, but it rarely gets a position.
The old gps was terrible because it dropped the lock but at least it used to give a reference fairly regularly.
Anyone else seen this?
I'm running jvp with speedmod's kernel.

Bloody auto correct.
Unable to get a lock, and can see 6-9 satellites

Use GPS Aids app to improve your GPS lock.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
start by going into cwm recovery and making advanced/fix permissions
first lock always take a bit longer to make
jvp gps is best one presented so far (aside few carier 2.3.3 versions) so you should not have any problem with it
such apps as mentioned are unsafe imho
Thx man, this solved my issues. Now I have a fix in about 10-15 seconds, before I was only sometimes able to get one in 2-3 minutes!
@spenceee: Like I said I was doing that what $omator wrote, then I was going into gps aids and changed the ntp server under settings for my region.
your gps should work best with your regional modem, so replace your modem with suitable modem
ntp server change got no major impact on fix
Same as changing modem. JVP modem is ok

Hi
i'm having a weird problem with my gps.
I get up to 10 satellites in view but the gps keeps losing the connection.
The phone just came yesterday from Samsung with a new board. Also my galaxy never got so many satellites in view.
Any idea?
Thanks.

This is not a 'weird' problem anymore
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Why?
The gps before didn't got more than 1 sat in view now i get about 10 so Samsung did improve something by replacing the main board.
Is there any other config or rom to improve GPS performance?
Hey guys. Really really love my new n7 its amazing.
Of course the moment I got it home I rooted it and installed a few roms! You just have to!
I'm currently on paranoid android 2.23 with no kernel change.
My issue is this: my GPS won't lock at all! Google maps with GPS enabled without wifi always returns location unavailable.
I'm almost 100% sure the nexus has GPS so what's the problem?
Anyone having this issue or any solutions?

I can second that, it runs perfectly. Try a clean install.
Try GPS Status from the market and go to tools and erase the location assistant data then download assistance. Also GPS Status also shows you if you are picking up satellites and just not getting a lock. If you get even one lock just be patient and you will get the other ones you need eventually.
Your first lock in awhile is going to take longer because the GPS logic assumes you have changed locations and does a cold start up.
Give it some help and go outside with at least a decent look at the sky keep it in one place.
I haven't had top do this in a long time but sometimes if I had toggled GPS from on to off I wouldn't get a lock but rebooting with GPS toggled on would fix it.
And a few times reflashing the same kernel would fix a flakey GPS

GPS status is pretty good app! Thank you for suggesting it.
GPS status showed 9 sat and 9 locks, but maps didn't work still.
I then did the reset and download and now maps locks me and shows location.
Thank you!
This might be a little off topic but what exactly does the assistant data do?

Is anyone else having issue where only some GLONASS sats fix..
GPS works fine and i can get a fix on 1 or 2 GLONASS sats when 7 are available all with good signals
I have heard of this being an issue with KK on the S4 but not on the LG-G2
Your title implies you have a FIX for the issue. Please change it.
And I do not like much my GPS/Glonnas, it was for ME bad also on JB.

If you have good and strong GPS signal, GLONASS won't be used. GLONASS kicks in when GPS reception isn't so good.

I was under the impression it was used at the same time for better accuracy
Only when needed

Not mine... I would need it constantly...
Had odd problems when changed country it would not connect... Had to go on web update my position to get a lock....
Completely defeats the purpose of buying sygic world...
