interresting info about GPS

Hi guys, I reading some info about geocaching DGPS, WAAS and EGNOS and I want to share one info. As default in Sirf Star III receiver firmware is enabled the so-called Static navigation, this mean if your speed is lower than 4Km/h GPS stop actualisation and fix position on last coordinates, and you dont know exactly, where you are. Then when you move slowly your point on map jump. This is not problem in car, but for walkers or tourist or geocachers is not so good. Exist few programs to set this off, especially for PDA. For more info read this forum in english, or this for Slovak/Czech speaking people.

EVERY setting in Maps is turned off. No latitude, now, or anything. I'm down to manually disabling GPS now. I'll check my phone randomly to see the time, look for missed messages, etc, and I can see the freaking GPS fix icon in the status bar for a second. How do I convince Maps not to keep my phone awake to get a GPS fix?

If this is a software reflash all the stock .img with fastboot. Search for it at another thread. Let me see if I can find it again. If that doesn't work disable the GPS in any way possible. That's what I would do. I clearly don't have this problem. Might've been a bug in maps when you got the phone.

Note 4 GPS long time to lock on

Hey guys, After updating to MM on my 910G, I've not been able to get a lock in under a clear unobstructed sky in less then a minute, it usually takes nearly 2 minutes to get a lock, but I always get around 25 satellites in view, just none locking on.
Here is an image

.
As you can see, I also have a good signal to them, but after about a minute and a half it will then finally lock on.
On Lollipop it would lock in, in about 10 seconds.
I've tried flashing Dr. Ketans rom as well, and it is still the same, does anyone else experience the same thing?

found out our phone got GPS not only AGPS

i tried switch to flight mode after purge agps data
gps really still works but a lot slower (almost 10 times) to find gps signal
(just info if you gonna travel the world and want you google map offline without sim\data)

Well, A-GPS is in fact regular GPS helped by a process retrieving some data about expected GPS sats' position in order to have a quicker (cold) fix. That's why your fix in Airplane mode with purged data took 10 min; GPS chip had to lock without any help from what sats should be visible according to current date/time.

GPS Tracking not possible?

Hi,
for running and sports, I use Runtastic to track my GPS location but im still not able to record a whole training with that phone.
First try: Blindly hoped everything will work. I ran 40 Minutes. After 5 GPS was lost. After 15 APP stopped recording running time.
Second try:
Deactivated Battery Optimization for Runtastic
Deactivated both extended Battery Optimization options
Deactivated Intelligent Battery
Then I ran again with the result of loosing GPS after 15 minutes. App recorded the time normally. So at least one step further.
What can I also do? I dont want to root or flash roms. Thanks for any reply
Here is my run in result:
