gps secret code (solution found)

anyone found the gps secret codes to turn on and off such as standalone vs assisted gps etc.. none of the sgs normal codes appear to work.

*8329#
Never live in the past but always learn from it.

are you sure doest do squat on my phone.????

try these
*#*#1472365#*#* - GPS test
*#*#1575#*#* - Another GPS test

already tried them..
the first does not work.
the second goes into a sort of menu but not the one i/we need to set the normal gps options.

Bump... still looking for solution... anyone ?

I don't have the S2 yet, so can't test this, but on my SGS I use Any Cut to create a link directly to LbsTest. You might give that a try.

The option for assisted and standalone GPS is in the settings menu.
Settings > Location and Security > Sensor aiding

Sorry, not sure how to determine that. In Any Cut I select "New shortcut", then "Activity", and select "LbsTestMode". It creates the shortcut. I've tried the "Edit existing shortcut" function but it just sits there with a blank screen, so no help there.

that may work fine except there is no "lbstestmode" in the list on the sgs ii

here is the fix.. well mostly the antenna and cns tests dont seem to work or cns is broken on our phone.. anyway
take this app.. copy it to /system/app with root explorer or adb push.
(need to be rooted)
then use anycut (free in the market) to add an activity shortcut to this app (secret codes still fail to work)
i have set mine to coldstart a i like etc. and now am getting much faster initial fixes after running get position test.
accuracy is still **** and much higher than my sgs.. but not sure the sgs was not lying about accuracy.
strange they didn't include the lbstest app in the roms

I think GB comes with AngryGPS.apk (lbstestmode was for froyo/eclair), and the code to invoke it is *#3214789650# if I'm not mistaken..
Don't have the GSII though, so can't confirm..
Edit: Attached a AngryGPS.apk found in the I9000 Android dev forum

Since you have this working can you tell us what the default setup is for the SUPL/CP settings? On the SGS many people got better results by modifying the Server to either "supl.google.com" or "supl.nokia.com". I know this could turn into another mishmash of user tweaks and deadends, but it seems Samsung has not fully resolved all their GPS issues.
(I don't have a S2 to test with, so relying on those here to help me make a buying decision. Thanks.)

new solution here is angrygps.apk
i asked someone in the sgs forum to post it and they did
again copy to system/app with root explorer or adb
and use anycut to create shortcut
works fine on our phone..
as for the other answer the default is hot start (which i change to cold start)
and also for suppl settings
it is
supl.google.com
7276
but supl secure socket is on.. which was not on on the sgs i
so i turned it off on mine.. (who the fff cares if your gps data going over the net is secure)

Thanks.
Just as a suggestion if you are having GPS issues you might try using supl.nokia.com, 7275. I've tried every tweak on my SGS and using this supl server definitely works best for me, as well as a number of posters on the SGS forum. But as always YMMV.

Android Revolution HD 5.x.x Niewbie <10 Posts Place

Hi Folks,
sorry to post in here, but I've less then 10.
Great thanks and detonation to Mike for his rom.
I flashed from Android Revolution HD 5.1.17 up to 5.2.1.
VPN with module tun.ko in 5.1.17 was ok and working.
But can't in install tun.ko in 5.2.1
" insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/tun.ko' failed "
As workaround , I flashed instead of original kernel this [KERNEL][June24]-=UNITY V3=-[2.6.35.13] and Android Revolution HD 5.1.17 is fine and doing VPN again.
Looking forward in Mike's Rom

It is a kernel problem in 5.2.1.

I just about to ask why nifs doesn't work on ARHD 5.2.1.
I'll try that patch.

5.2.1 - issues
I enqueue.. less then 10 posts.
Hi everyone.
First, I'd like to thank everyone in the scene for developing great software!
I wanted to share my a few issues i experienced with 5.2.1 and the recommended radio Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2:
Issues:
Revolution HD 5.2.1
In "settings/Date & time/" I set "Automatic".
If I lost service, the phone changes the time zone automatically to a wrong value (GMT -06:00) instead of GMT -02:00. After the service returned, the time zone remains wrong. I have to enable/disable "Automatic" in settings, to refresh to the correct timezone value.
FYIM:
Currently I'm running a lot "out of service" (heavy weather destroyed some antennas, I guess) other non modified phones are also out of service.
Revolution HD 5.2.1
htc sense "Mail" android default "Battery use" tells me that it requires 20%. I use K-9 and HTC Mail for Exchange ActiveSync. I cannot confirm if it requires more guice than before, perhaps it's just a misleading information from Battery use.
2.3.3 stock rom and Revolution HD 5.1.9 - 5.2.1
After a short phone call htc Dialer uses 40% in "Android Battery use" , only a reboot will fix this issue. Again, I cannot confirm if it requires more guice, perhaps it's also just a misleading information from Battery use. But it's suspicious if a reboot solves it.
Revolution HD 5.1. - 5.2.1
Zooming in camera/video recording is very laggy compared to stock rom.

klquicksall: I need someone who uses tun.ko or cifs to test this kernel ....

Tested with Revolution HD 5.2.1 and kernel RCMIX 3D 4.3.2.
Now tun.ko with VPN is working fine.
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/tun.ko' failed (File exists)
# insmod /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

Only bcm4329.ko has to install manually.

Same problem for me. There is no workaround. It is not sure if it is a wrong information or it really uses the battery. Use the search, u will find many threads about that. It is not ARHD related.

Well, I guess there aren't many places in 2011 were you could running out of service. Perhaps this issue wasn't discovered by now. Could you post this issue in the main thread, please? Maybe someone else could confirm it might be just an easy fix in the code.

Not sure it is ROM-related, but with ARHD 5.2.2, the new market can't access to Internet through my computer, while everything else can do so (Internet, Mails, ...).

and for me too

tried a few iterations of it. Not bad. But I have moved on to HydrogenMOD

After wi-fi probs with 5.2.2 trying now virtous unity, with sense 3. Great rom, great look, not that great battery life... now waiting for 5.2.3 of ARHD...

When will the RUU 2.52.1010.2 be used?
Or is there no major changes?

Same here

The HTC Sense sync service is deleted from the ROM since 5.2.2, but I want it (it works for me). So how I can get it back ?
EDIT : Now full wiping to install 5.2.3.
EDIT 2 : Solved. Just had to connect to HTC sense via HTC Hub and the service came back.

Try reflashing

try the new room

Had flashed before, really stable ROM. Now trying CoreDroid, battery life seems quite good with blue theme

[Q] GPS Problem on Samsung i5800!!!

Hello,
i am having problems with my phone GPS system. I used all the tricks and apps like Faster fix or GPS fix, etc i also used the *#*#3214789650*#*# fix explained by kyrillos13 and still nothing. I tried gps test on TTFF test and after like 20 minutes got a fix an ran all tests 5 times an got the fix after about 2 minutes at the end of the tests. But after 15 minutes when tried the GPS again nothing happend and also when using faster fix i got a message "NO FIX". I have the latest rom I5800XXJPQ updated with kies. It's not rooted.
Can someone help me in dealing with this GPS problem.
Thanks in advice!!!

yeah i should tell you i got this method from this thread..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778880
and also i flash my rom with Kyrillos v6 (non oc) this code do nothing on tht rom..

Fix didn't helped me much. I had to run test every time before using GPS unless it will "Your location is temporary unavailable". Any permanent fix? quite annoying to run test every time.

Hmm. Then no idea. :/ I get a good fix.

Hi,
Like you, tried everything after using Kies to upgrade to Froyo on my UK Orange I5801.
I do have Octy's GPS Optimisation loaded and I am rooted having used SuperOneClick, nothing else would do it, Thanks Orange!
None of the codes on the keypad worked either, they seem to have locked things even after rooting.
GPS Fix although looking like it worked, it didn't change the GPS config as shown later when I managed to create shortcut for GpsSetup2.
I do have LauncherPro, and this allowed me to make a shortcut on my homepage for GPSSETUP2, but I couldn't use it to create a shortcut for LbsTestMode, it's not there under Activities, which I understand would have been the easier route.
Using the newly created shortcut for GPSSetUP2 I was able to adjust the settings.
It was the blind leading the blind, but eventually I managed to set the config so that it now gets a fix in a matter of seconds, probably assisted by Octy's GPS Optimisation, I don't have the B*lls to uninstall it, why fix it if it ain't broke.
So here's my settings.
Settings
Parameter Settings/Address
Server Type UMTS SLP
Address Type URL
Address supl.google.com:7276
Parameter Settings/Start mode Cold Start
Parameter Settings/SSL Enable SSL Disabled, SSL Type VerSign
Parameter Settings/Position Mode Option2....STANDALONE. UP MS BASED. UPMS ASSISTED
Fix Request Settings
Fix Request Settings/Session Type New Position
Fix Request Settings/Session Operation MS-Based
Fix Request Settings/Number of Fixes 999999999 (9x9)
Fix Request Settings/Time between fixes 1000
Fix Request Settings/Session Timeout 180
Fix Request SettingsAccuracy 50
Fix Request Settings/Server Option Local,.....this seemed to be the killer,
mine was still at "default" suggest you try this first.
All other settings "Commands" and "gpsOneXTRA" were left as default.
I hope this helps someone.
best wishes
Steve

Thank you all for posting. I will try all your steps and with luck i will finally get a better signal and a more fast GPS connection.
I installed Sumee 3.1 which has some GPS fixes installed, and i could say that i get a fix at about 2-3 minutes and this after installing fasterfix.apk and after making the changes posted by kyrillos13.

I keep my GPS turned of when I'm not using it, and Google Maps is never running in the background.

Do you use Google Latitude or have any maps/latitude widgets on screen? those will cause this activity.

When I cooked my ROM, I took everything out that ran in the background that I never used;
Clearfi, Media Server, etc. but never touched anything related to GPS, or maps, so I have no idea why it wouldn't be running on mine, and running on yours. Which version of HC are you running?

Use system tuner pro and freeze any app.it won't run again until you boil it.

I think that the maps service will run if you have 'shared your location' with the browser or other apps that use maps for location specific information. This can be switched on in Settings -> location and security.

No, but you can make sure everything related to location in your settings is turned off as stated by someone else?

Check under Settings and disable anything related to location, besides GPS (really not needed to disable, it only runs when an application that use GPS is running) .
See my screen capture.

Quick question Moe. Why do you use a custom kernel? Do you overclock?
Just asking, because when I first got my tab I must have flashed every ROM and kernel that was out at the time, and found none with less problems, and more stable than the stock 3.2 kernel.
Nothing more than curiosity.

To be honest I'm just trying stuff out to see what all the fuss is about. Both seem to be highly recommended so when i decided to go custom I just went with those two.

[Tutorial] Quick gps fix

I know there are several tutorials on xda on this but I am posting this which I tried myself after going through the bits and pieces here and there. Dont kill me ...
Here we go... First you need a few apps
1. GpsFix
2. Gps status
3. Faster fix
Next you need to know how to access the /etc folder where the gps.conf is located...use any root explorer to find this file.
Back it up.
Now open it...it should read something like this-
NTP_SERVER=north-america.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
That's the default. Change the "north-america" to your area...for eg- europe.ntp.org or asia.ntp.org...better still if you know your country's code which you can get from ntp.org...for eg- in.ntp.org (india) ru.ntp.org(russia)
Thats it... Add the following lines at the end of the file
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
Save it...voila your gps.conf is done...
Now if you dont want to go through all this trouble...just download fasterfix from play and configure it...it's a very simple app..no hassles..plus you can remove the app when you are done.
Next...open up Gps Settings2...in kisadworx its there in the settings. But for other roms...use this code in your dialer-
*#*#3214789650#*#*
Right...now goto gpsOneXTRA and enable Xtra enable (i dunno the purpose of this...does anyone know?)
Next goto settings>fix request settings
Check the following-
Session Type-latest position
Session Operation- MS-based
Number of fixes-999999999
Time between fixes-1000
Session timeout-255
Accuracy-100
Server option-default
Right...we are done here...dont mess around with anything else...
Next get the gps status app...start it and from tools>manage a-gps state>download...let it take its time
The other app gpsfix does the same thing...just a bit light on the UI...
Its takes time initially to get the fix...once you are done...you'll get a gps fix under 1 sec...(mine takes 600 ms approx)
Thats it...hope it helps...
.:cheers:.
sent from my GT-I5801
Edit: this may sound noobish but it works everytime...in gps status set the session type to tracking and then in commands goto get position test...when you start getting a few satellite positions, cancel the test and change the session type to latest. Now the gps fix should take a second.
.:Cheers:.
