Hi guys,
I have a bad gps unit, and have tried different apps to increase locking speed, still no luck.
But, no matter apps I used, when downloaded AGPS data, I could not found this data on G2's Internal storage.
So do you know, where is AGPS data store in G2? I wonder if this AGPS data is actually downloaded or not?

Hi Guys, I have only had this device a few days and I love it. I work for an airline so I do alot of travelling, so a GPS and cell phone are pretty much a necessity.
Previously I had the HTC Touch Vogue. I was able to bypass the data and go directly to GPS (I used both TomTom and NavnGo8). I am wondering if there is such an app that will allow me to do this without using my data plan?

i was planning on doing same, assuming the GPS issue is fixed satisfactorily. But i believe you can't run an app from the SD external card until android 2.2 comes out, which should be here in september
but i've noticed some folks in the GPS "fix" threads indicating they've tested their gps on CoPilot, nandroid, sygic and others, so i assume they were able to install the mapping apps on the internal 16GB mem storage
i'll be curious to see the responses to this question
I think Copilot allows you to pre-load maps without the need to have a constant data connection, ala the true gps units.
Never mind. Wrong forum.
Hi guys I have just attempted to use the satnav installed on the MDJ 1.7 rom which I believe is google ? anyway I can get a gps lock by using gps-status then in the application it hangs on getting directions and will only work using the data connection any ideas ? or is there a better one ?
Just wondering fi tis fault with google or the GPS ? I can get lock so must be with the app ?
Oh it does work using data connection but no good in europe or USA.
I guess I could use WM just for SAtNav and copilot or tomtom but would be nice to have it all working.
AFAIK, it gets your location with GPS and then attempts to calculate the route, which requires a data connection. I'm not sure whether it needs the data connection after that or not, but I've driven 100's of miles using it and have never had the map stop moving or lose any information, so I don't believe it uses data during the journey. Maybe just a touch every now and then.
If it gets your location and then fails calculating your route then it suggests that there is an issue with your data connection.

Ahh that makes sense now so it needs data connection to download the route data then you can switch it off.
Still bit crap when you are abroad because data charges are like £1 per mb or so.
So guess I may get co-pilot from the "market" which seams quite reasonable ?
Thanks.
Question in title.. the other day, I went to the mountains and did not have any signal but my gps worked just fine. This leads the question, does using the gps use any mobile data at all?
I'd guess no, but I'd be more curious to see if an app like GPS Essentials works when you're in that situation. It pulls a lot of info from GPS.
There is an app that caches a large map file on your SD card so you can do basic map (not google) navigation without any data connection at all but the name of it escapes me at the moment. If that app is even possible then I'd guess GPS can function independently of data as long as it doesn't need anything beyond basic location info.
Today's Google Maps update in the market kinda deals with this. It adds caching options so that if you lose your data connection (which is required for things like driving navigation) you don't lose everything else too. It caches data so the phone can continue working for a few minutes even without a data signal.
The GPS has a function which access the internet to help it lock on for the first time. It looks up on the internet where the satellites might be. If you have a standalone GPS that you have not used for a while, it takes several minutes to lock on. Looking up where the satellites are on the sky through the internet speeds this up significantly. I believe that is what is called A-GPS. But I believe any GPS works standalone, without data.

YES .......
I have been having an issue in obtaining a GPS lock on my Nexus 4, Maps can't pinpoint my location with WiFi off and GPS Test shows 22 satellites in view, but 0 in use. But when I clear AGPS data via the GPS Test app (note: I only clear, not re-download new AGPS data), the satellites refresh and is able to lock and use most of them, same for Maps. But this doesn't last, I have to clear AGPS data again the next day in order for GPS to get a lock from the same location (at home).
Obviously this isn't normal behaviour is it? Having to rely on a third-party app to reset AGPS, and so on.
The same behaviour happens on stock 4.3 with no other apps other than the ones included.
Bump.
SAme probleme here on a xperia go
did you find a solution, or at least, a widget for clearing Adata easily?
Today I have used the Fake GPS Location app to change my location to somewhere else.
But after I stopped the app, and open the Google Map, choosing "GPS only" in the location setting, I cannot get my true position.
Even if I uninstall the Fake GPS Location and disable Mock GPS in the Developer Options, the GPS still does not work.
I tried to use GPS Status or similar apps to Clear AGPS, after all, the GPS still no response, keep searching for satellite...
Whenever I disable WIFI / Data in the location setting, the GPS cannot get any location.
Any method to fix the problem? (any method instead of re-flashing the stock rom)
Remark: I am using Note 3 LTE (SM-N9005) with rooted.
I finally wipe all data + cache + Dalvik cache, and re-flash the stock rom.
But, the GPS is still not working...
Anybody has any suggestion?
