There is a thread or two about GPS already that has some suggestions that might help you. Or, at least it won't hurt for you to try. You can use the forum's "search" function in this forum or the "general" forum to find the threads. Good luck.
I saw the topics you are talking about
I've tried to turn on/off remove the battery etc before create this new one

Try installing this GPS status & Tool Box. That might help.

I'm not sure what you searched for or what you saw, but if you searched for "GPS" in the "General" forum, this is one of the threads that should have come up.

And it has the tips within this thread that I said might help your situation.

Actually I only found out this problem with my GPS because someone posted this app to solve compass issues
But thanks anyway

I'll take a look thanks dude.
I think I have a serious problem because my gps can't find my location it searches forever until time out.
It might sound obvious, have you turn on "Use GPS satellites" ? in the Location services.

Yes I did, my device only finds my location through wifi connection.
If I switch off wireless networks and only use gps satellites it wont find

If GPS status and toolbox isn't showing you locking onto any satellites and you have GPS enabled, I think you might have a hardware issue.
You might also try installing other apps (such as radarNow) from the play store and see if they can successfully use the GPS or not.
I guess it is a hardware issue, tried everything. The only option left is factory restore. ****!
Thanks for the help guys.

Hi all,
Im new to the g1 and am having a problem.
I cant get my gps to locate any satellites, I am using a rooted and unlocked g1 with no data plan and just want to use gps and not agps. I know there are satellites around as I can find them with my other cell (lg incite using just the gps and not agps). I thought it might be the rom so I flashed 3 different ones with no luck on either and Ive been searching the net and on here but cant really find any help. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance
It has taken up to 10 minutes for my phone to find satellites without the data connection to assist. How long did you wait for connection?

Yikes! Have you tried in a different app? I don't really think it would make a huge difference, but weirder things have happened.
Ive tried 3 different ones with no luck. Allthough I did use google sky maps but I dont know if that was using the gps or not.

What ROM are you runnning? Radio? Rooted? Can you capture a logcat (alogcat from the market makes log capturing easy)?

Its rooted and running 2.1 but Ive flashed 4 different roms from 1.5 to 2.1 and none of them can pick up the gps signal. I will try the alogcat and post back.
I am having this problem too. Without data the G1 seems useless for GPS. Rarely it would get GPS lock. I had to put back on data and now gps lock is quick and reliable.
Hey guys give this a try and let me know if it works for you.

This worked great for me, better than both the original fixes. Thanks for the heads up.
I was actually going to post the Auto Config tip on the original GPS fix thread. This fix works best for me. It's still flaky sometimes but it's much better than stock or the first fix.
I left in my initial settings from the first fix, and supplemented it with the auto setting from this fix. And though I leave use wireless networks disabled, I get an exact lock in about 5 seconds now!
now if only we could fix the compass...

NP guys
I was just playing with the settings and found that this worked great so I made a vid.
I also turned on MS Assisted so I can get a lock indoors
So this doesn't require you to have wireless networks turned on?
this one works great...
I actually never really had a problem with gps in the first place but usually it only finds 7 satellites and this fix instantly found me 11...

1. Disable "Use Wireless Network" under Settings > Location and Security
2. Dial *#*#1472365#*#*
3. Go to SUPL/CP Settings
4. Change Custom Config to Auto Config
5. Restart phone
6. Reenable "Use Wireless Network"
Thanks, any mention of Accuracy (50 or 100) or Operation mode?
just tried those settings on my vibrant (exchanged my 1st one - this one just arrived today) and GPS was crap before the settings, and worse after the setting changes
just tried the settings and mine is even worse.
just joking, just joking OP, thanks for the tip. finally, after the first gps fix that was put out, this locked me on in my exact location, not 3 blocks away, from the start.
No change when using GPStest. But was not expecting it to.

On mine if I use Maps and Nav it works fine but if I try and use Google Buzz and then maps it does not work until I reboot.
I just stop using buzz and it work fine now, not great but fine. it's accurate to about 3 feet for me if I have it in standalone mode, if I enable MS assist it accurate to about 15 feet.

I did try heygrl's config settings. The results were pretty decent but not perfect driving, not good walking. See results and my analysis here.
I had pretty good success with this fix too. Not perfect either, but good enough for me.

I cannot get the GPS to work correctly on any ROM that I flash. It either never finds the GPS and says searching for signal or finds it and cuts out really quick and gets stuck on searching for signal.
Ever thought its a hardware problem and not software?

Which ROMs are you flashing? The only one I've had trouble with GPS has been CyanogenMod, but it's a known issue there that the GPS doesn't work right.

Download GPS status from the market. Hit menu then select tools. Open manage agps state. Click clear data. Then download agps data. See if you get a lock then.

If that doesn't work, then try the CM7 GPS fix.
First make sure you are on a Sense ROM.
Get your MSL using the MSL reader app from the market.
Open your dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX#
When it asks for a password, enter your MSL and then your phone will reboot.

Or, it might need the connectors for the gps aerial bending slightly, as they are made of a weak metal, and get pressed in over time in. There are several threads about it.
I did the fix on mine, and the gps works brilliantly now!
Hope this helps

I tried using Google maps yesterday with only GPS for location ( i have cell triangulation turned off) It searched and searched but never got a lock. I thought i read somewhere that CM7 sometimes has a GPS issue and that there's a fix, but after searching and googling, i can't find the damn posting. Can someone help me out?
Thanks!

Just applied this to my phone. We'll see what happens when i get outside later this evening. Office high rises just aren't conducive to GPS signals.
Thanks for the tip!!
