[GPS FIX] GPS Fix for all* roms 4/18

Who this is for - anyone whose GPS has long lock times, and is inaccurate in navigation.
This SHOULD work with all 2.3+ roms (that includes ICS). If it doesn't work for you or provides consistently poor results, please post and let's see if we can figure out why
What it does - replaces /system/etc/gps.conf with the modified version that has much more servers and various tweaks. Please note some tweaks made sacrifice accuracy for speed.
Results - I'm able to consistently get locks within 5 sec and ~10m with multiple sats. Even indoors, results are similar.
Many (including non captivate users) have reported much improved results as well.
How to use it:
Backup your old gps.conf (located in /system/etc) in case you prefer your old configuration. But you can always flash your rom again to get it back as well
Download the gps fix (Updated with 8 NTP servers) -- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17383148/GPS_mod(8NTP).zip to SD Card
Reboot into CWM and flash
Reboot and enjoy a fast, awesome GPS
NOTE - first lock can take much longer that normal. Don't be surprised if it takes over 1 min. Results should improve from there. Should get ~ 10 sec locks, with multiple satellites.
Still not getting the results you want? Try another modem. KG3 is working great for me. This is a great site that has plenty more CM modems you can try out
UPDATE 4/18 : The GPS mod has been edited so that it now has 8 NTP servers. If you feel the old (classic?) configuration was working great for you, it's still up here
Commentary on screenshots: 1 -- Indoors w/ fix and about ~25 sec (cold start). 2 -- outdoors w/ fix and about ~10 sec (cold start). 3 -- outdoors NO fix and about ~15 seconds (cold start). Indoors with no fix could not be completed as I was not able to get a consistent lock with a cold start.

Non-captivate users -- You will have to edit the gps.conf file yourself in order to provide the most accurate results (since I do not know where you live). Xenova's post has some good instructions you can follow.
also read this post.

Finally! I spent all day yesterday looking for solutions to gps issues, will try this immediately and post feedback.
Update:
Gps test:6 sats in view,5 in use,accuracy 40ft
Before:1 sat,1 in use,accuracy 200ft
Rom:Team ICSSGS RC4.2
Modem:UGJL2

my GPS fix is highly recommended too.
REMOVED- didnt work for cm9
it also replaces files in "vendor/etc/" and files in "vendor/bin" file as well.
Any files in the Vendor folder (in stock roms) are carrier tweaks. AKA Vendor tweaks. and will supercede any files in the system/etc or system/bin folders.

Ill try it as well.

This is a must-try for me.
ROM: Teamhacksung CM9 build16

I have a captivate running CM9 (build 16), and decided to give it a try. It has historically been a "fair" GPS captivate, mostly working, never well. CM9 it would not work at all. I walked out of our building with it as flashed from CM9, waited 5 minutes, nothing.
Flashed the one in the OP, walked back outside (about 5 minutes elapsed so not a lot of change in constellation), and did not even get to where I had stood before and it was locked.
One data point does not a trend make, but it was a pleasant surprise.
TRusselo: Had seen yours, but it was much more intrusive in terms of files changed and I had less faith that it was compatible with CM9. Is it?

The gps still can't get a fix on me using google maps.

Linwood - try getting a lock again. As noted, first lock can take significantly longer. Try more tests to see if it improves.
Trusselo - never heard about yours. Can you please give more info about yours and compatibility with roms?

@ mike.canovas - ive already expained more about mine than the OP of the thread did about his. If you want to try it. TRY IT. if you are curious, LOOK INSIDE IT. It worked great for people on gingerbread.

It did get a lock in about 3 mins I did a second test and It took about the same time.

Hm. Try trusselo's fix. If what he says is right, you may have some vendor files overriding it. What rom are you running?

Tried that one used gps and got nothing not even the gps icon showed up im rebooting now to see if that solves it.
Btw if it don't work how can I revert the changes made by your zip?

To fix his, you're going to have to reflash the rom. Unless you backed up the vendor files changed

4.2.2 GT-N5110 - official update kicked in UK

someone posted on my google+, so thought I share with you guys
"Hey my friends! I'm currently downloading 4.2.2 for my GT-N5110! Finally! Mine is the UK model! So excited"
I know there's already a leaked beta version samsmobile, but seems like Samsung finanly pushing the offical update for GT-N5110, let me know if you are in US and getting the OTA update...

UK 4.2.2 firmware N5110XXCMH3 is showing up on sammobile.com

Will this version work on the US version?

yeah...I am actually planning to install UK version if Samsung delays US version for some stupid reason. I have one more person told me UK version works just fine installing US model wifi tablet...so thank you for confirming for us, more people try, the better we will feel if we go with UK version

Does the multiscreen function work?

Anyone know if its possible to update via kies, or other ways without root and without wiping the data on the device, regaldress the region

Uhh, yea. The UK update flashed through Odin is a no-wipe update. Did it yesterday and zero problems. Actually seems smoother to me.

Which is exactly what prompted me to flash the UK version. If the US version offers anything new and worthwhile, I will Odin that at a later date.

No screen freeze is great, don't notice any problems with the s-pen, and love that apps to SD is included in the applications manager. I was able to recover almost 1gb of internal memory.

I can't find the option on mine so I assumed Samsung had removed the option for some reason.
Also seemingly missing is the swipe to camera from the lock screen, which I had wanted.
I wondered about using another ROM instead but guess I would then lose some of the S-Pen ability and dedicated apps?

I flashed this via Mobile Odin, but I lost my 5 Ghz! How can I get it back?

I changed the 5Ghz channel on my router (Netgear R6300) to 48, and it found the 5 Ghz right away. Well, problem solved anyway Is there a difference in the UK version? I am trying to figure out why it won't see Channels 149, 153, 157 and 161, it did before.
One other thing, when I switched the R6300 to Channel 48 the router gave me a popup about the best wireless performance being with Channels 149, 153, 157 and 161, I am assuming it says that due to the possibility of more congestion, though being rural that's not an issue, and 5 Ghz seems to be fine on Channel 48.

they did not remove it, they just, for some strange reason, not enabled it - don't even ask me why. However, check Civ's custom ROM (based on UK Firmware), look at his post: [ROM][4.2.2][N5110-MH3][N5100-MH2] CivZ-FLEX-BEAM-REV3.0 + SphereEngine [18/sep/2013]
he did enabled it...
unless multi-users option is critical to you, I would recommend to flash Civ's ROM.

Hi proxuser
what are the key unique features of this ROM ?
i already tried carbon rom

@proxuser
Hi, topic, im a noob so i cant yet post in the developement section, I tested your latest kernel, flashed:
Kartal-JB4.3-AOSP-eur_3g-10.29.2013.zip
and my device didnt want to start up. It hung on the samsung startup screen.
I'm using using cm10.2 official nightlies 25 October rom. I have previously flashed your 1.9ghz overclocking kernel, it worked fine.
Had to restore my backup

Hope you get BLN working. Have you considered Active Notifications alternatively? Might even be the better solution.

Don't see the benefit in that. You could just use Apps like NoLED or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications&hl=de
benefit of BLN is less battery drain

Thanks for the advice. I already gave them a try. Knock2 ist too far removed from a stock like appearance, NoLED has a hughe battery drain and DN has had a known issue with low res icons for several versions on the S4 mini, which is still not fixed.
Besides, the big advantage would be a tighter integration of the functionality with the rom hence potentially lowering battery consumption even further and resolving problems with unlocking the phone, those apps tend to run into.

I am using: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ledblinker.pro&hl=en
I compared it to NoLED and it drains less battery.
Try it

Turns out, we had Active Notifications all along. It can be found in the display settings.

News from OnePlus and Cyanogen on battery drain and new update

This is what Steve Kondik posted on OnePlus forums:
Just a quick update on the power issue in 30O..
Two issues that ended up in the build were identified and fixed. They weren't affecting everyone and were subject to hardware variations and timing, but our engineers worked quickly to get them resolved. The first issue was a very low-level system bus problem, while the second was a problem with how the proximity sensor is used to prevent false unlocks from gestures and double taps. We pride ourselves in the performance and low power consumption of 11S, and after these fixes our lab tests show improved numbers vs. 25R! This will go out as a small hotfix as soon as it's approved. Additionally, we are preparing another update in parallel that brings a few new features, a beautified lock screen, audio enhancements, polish on the new features in 30O, and of course bug fixes.
Both of these new builds are in the final testing and approval phases. I can't give any ETA because we are subject to third parties, but you should see the power hotfix in the next couple of days with the bigger update right on it's heels.
To ensure this doesn't happen again, we are bulking up our automated test systems to cover more cases, more often. Being a startup is both a blessing and a curse- while we can move fast on issues and updates, we are still building our automation and infrastructure. We depend on your feedback to tell us what we're doing right, as well as wrong! Additionally, we are working hard to reduce the time between updates even further so that they are more manageable.
Hang in there for just a bit and that unkillable battery will make a triumphant return.

I dont have that issue, but hope it will help you guys that have it.

Nothing new on this right? Just checked the thread not long ago and it was still in testing.

It was post 4 days ago, nothing new?

It's an old post. Fix still under test and would be released when approved internally in CM. Been waiting for the hotfix since past few days.

I wonder if we go back to 25r if we will have to go to 30O then apply the new update or will they have a "new and improved" fixed 30O? BTW is your ability to have a different wallpaper on your lockscreen than on your home screen broken also?

I'm lucky if I can get 4 hours screen on time... Given I don't get good service for 8 hours, but still. I tried all the "fixes" out there. No luck.

Using the battery monitor widget I noticed my drain to be around 250ma with good signal and screen on, and well over 650ma when no signal. So keep in mind that lack of signal can triple your drain :/

Flash the Franco R13 kernel*
Quote*
Just pushed r13 which has a newer Touch Panel firmware from CM. Touch sensitivity seems much improved, which is a VERY welcomed plus. Also added support for PS3 controllers via OTG. I'll add MultiRom support on r14. Enjoy
Works fine with double tap to wake and capacitive buttons disabled. good battery life so far

or try and flash AK CM11S version, maybe latest _31b14 w/o changing back to 25R or smth else, (just to give a try as it is easier to change the Kernel than the ROM (you know...restoring stuff ))

How to flash COD modem

You can dowload the COD modem
On Mocsab’s thread found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...10tuvu1cod6-modem-stock-kernel-stock-t3094994
and flash it through odin
Here are some instructions:
Preface:
For what we are doing here you just want the modem.bin file.
1. Download the COD modem.bin file.
2. Open up odin and uncheck auto reboot.
3. Click on phone, select the modem.bin file, and press start.
4. When you finish the flash. Pull the battery and put it back in and power up.
PS.
I used odin 3.0.4, but this probably works with all versions of odin.

Might not be as important as before, but it was for my current setup.
I'm on Infamous BOC rom and 3.6 Bioshock kernel, but was still running ank modem.
Now I've got COD modem.

can we use the new modem with KK roms ?

Yes

Oops, I jumped the gun and asked this very question in another thread.
Thanks for confirming this :good:
Any noticeable difference in the COD modem on KitKat base as of yet?

Phone calls are better.

Just tried this with firekat v11x. Better phone calls, better data.
They do work on that at Samsung.
Called my dad and everything.

Is this step necessary? I did a CP flash & simply let phone reboot itself and checked baseband which now ends in COD6

No. Not necessary. Just used to be a thing.
Sounds like you're straight.

:good: Thought so, just wanted to be sure. Haven't been really able to test as of yet since in my home I only get signal via Wi-Fi & Wi-Fi calling feature, yet all seems well

Firekat can make your phone shoot rainbows as well. Little too soon to say don't you think?

You don't have to use the new modem if you don't want to.
It does work (and well) with kk.
That's what K2 was posting about.
I'll be using it on lollipop firekat!

4 bars where there was 1 maybe 2 before.
Infamous Boc rom.

Hehehehe! I know... Just a little joke Using it myself(new baseband). So far nothing different but as I mentioned in the other modem thread it might be better, worse, or not even noticeable. We shall see if there are any improvements or disadvantages over time. Just a little too soon to tell especially after just one phone call. I did a few tests myself with all radio related usages and everything works well like on MK7. I live and work near cell towers so I haven't seen anything noticeable yet. One thing good I can say for sure(past experiences since Windows Mobile 5) is sometimes call handoffs are improved with newer versions and sometimes the signal is faster to relay on the handset ui giving a more accurate signal display. Those are all things to look for. Now all we need is xposed running

Ummm yes.... Yes they do lol

I seem to be getting better signal and faster Lte. At work I used to get anywhere from 6-10mbps up/down, now am getting close to 20mbps up/down. Just updated to poprocks v1, was on firelated v11x before. Could be the modem update or maybe tmo upgraded their towers here??

Could check and see if wideband was added in your area recently. There are a few links around for checking what band is available in your area. Service mode and phone info app can do those. Sounds like a happy coincidence! I doubt a modem updates gonna double your speeds lol! Enjoy your tower upgrades. I've seen a few new towers around my town pull 60Mbps down but average for me is 30-40. Depends how far away you are as well. Maybe they added a repeater or new tower close by your work?

so when I put in the bin and hit start. Nothing happens? Anyone know why?

Are you in download mode?
