Is European Galileo GPS supported on redmi note 7 ?
could anyone test this out and post screenshot. Use the GPSTest app by Dr. Sean Barbeau on play store, run it and see if Galileo (EU flag) GPS signals are received. Post the screenshot here.
for reference
https://www.gsa.europa.eu/newsroom/news/test-your-android-device-s-satellite-navigation-performance
Yes, it's supported and can be used as it did here.
thank you
I tested twice and phone seems to see those satellites as SOC supports it, but it cant connect to them. Is there a way we can enable them? Or is it still hardware thing?

It's a coverage thing...
It takes a minimum of four Galileo satellites to be visible in the local sky to fix a receiver’s position.

I stand corrected, You are right. I did more testing and it seems that Galileo satellites are used to obtain GPS location. Our SOC works a bit weird, it sees less satellites but it is faster and more precise that P10 GPS.

This is my result. It connects but apparently with heavily different strength. Huge gap between inhouse use and being outside...

Better GPS.
How to get this info? Is is an app or system screen?
@qbota your question is already answered in the OP.

Much the same as my personal tests of SGS2 but then again i had little problem with SGS1 this GPS is better .

I know that this is in Italian, but you can just see the road test done with mytracks

Let me know if you find this useful
GPS is similar to my GPS on my captivate BEFORE I flashed a modded ROM. Side by side with my Atrix it continually underperforns. It is slower to see satellites, sees fewer and has this awful power issue in that if I switch apps it switches off the GPS so has to reaquire and has a delay. I'm dissappointrd about it.

Good to know! The gsmarena guys reported that the Atrix catches the sats quicker(<1min) - however it's not clear it A-gps was active or not. In case of SGS2 they tested AGPS OFF, and still got reasonable fix time and accuracy.
It seems my Nexus 4 doesn't have a good GPS.
Everytime when I connect network through 3G, I can't get the correct current location (Google map). Sometimes if I wait for a while, it may get the correct location but not everytime.
If I connect network using wifi, the location is correct.
I can't complain my carrier, because when I use my HTC One X and the same carrier, it worked well.
Are there anybody also have the same problem? Or do you have any solution?
Besides the GPS problem I also suffered the screeching sound problem. Nexus 4 disappointed me a lot even it is Nexus.
I won't buy LG phone again.
Solution: Stop trying to use the GPS indoors.

This is a pretty poor answer.....the GPS on my old Vibrant works great indoors, and as some of you may know the Vibrant was notorious for spotty GPS across the board, although I did do a hardware fix on mine.
GPS should work fine indoors unless you are in some solid concrete underground facility. Saying that it only should work reliably outdoors is basically saying that the GPS implementation on the nexus 4 is horse crap.
I'm sick of phones with poor GPS - I have my order in for the Nexus 4 (3 weeks apparently) but if the GPS is indeed crap unless you are in an open field on a sunny day, then perhaps I may cancel my order.
Hi,
on my Nexus 10 GLONASS Sats are always shown as "in sight" but are never "in use". I'm using GPS Test.
How can I enable them?
TIA, Rob
If I understand GLONASS, I thought they only became usable if they needed to be (if your not in a open area with direct sky-view basically)

Try GPS Status and Toolbox. It's a popular app that downloads fresh satellite positions, but I can't guarantee it works with the Nexus 10 so it's up to you if you wanna go for it.

Ok, I repeated the test and found some GLONASS birds in use now. But they seem to be second choice only.
I thought mine was using GLONASS sats because behind my window (which is not a particularly large one) i would get a fix with as much as 17 sats in view and like 12 in use resulting in single digit precision, while my ageing HTC Desire is barely seeing 4 at a time if you have the patience and could never get a fix there. I didn't realise i could check if GLONASS sats were in use, will do tomorrow but the GPS on my N10 blew my socks away already when i saw it would even get a fix when using it sitting at my desk 2 meters away from the window with the curtain closed

Did you double-check the "Personal - Location access - GPS satellites" setting?

Of course, that was my first thought.
But GPS test just shows 0 satellites.
Google maps can get a lock, but I suspect that's through wifi.

Hello can somebody do some good tests of the gps of the device for me please..
There not so much to find how good the gps is...
Last time I checked it chose 15 of the 24 satellites it could see, locked on to them and placed me with an accuracy of 10ft in under a minute (on Google earth it could tell when I was near the curb or the garden wall on a standard width town pavement.)

Please try without WIFI/Mobile data on please. We all know it would only take seconds to collect and connect to GPS satellites with A-GPS on.

Then you're at the mercy of the A-GPS data you had before or the download speed from satellite to phone....
Just to let you know, this phone will probably have the best reception out of any phone in 2013. External antennas with active tuning and send/receive diversity to ensure no deathgrip and best possible reception. GPS and WiFi benefit from this too, not just the 3G/LTE antennas.
AW: Can somebody do a real good test with the gps from the device please
turned the one in flight mode -> restart -> activate GPS -> start gps-status...
time to first fix 21 sec with 12/23 satelites
thx

A-GPS cache data base on cell tower information currently being used by the phone.
We can't do a proper GPS connectivity test like this lol. The only solution is to factory reset the phone then do a GPS test without internet connection or go somewhere you didn't use A-GPS yet then do the GPS test.
This might be a pain to test but will do this as soon as I get mine.

WTF?
No. Just go into GPS Test or GPS Status, turn on airplane mode, wipe the A-GPS data, then run the test. This isn't rocket science.
lol! Then tell me how to wipe A-GPS data?

Is this true? Are the silver (or black bits) the antennas on this phone?
The stripes on the back. No more antenna locked inside a metal case with just the plastic camera cover to get a clear signal through (Still love my DHD though - thanks Team Venom)

Yes true that there is no compass but really you can't expect all the sensors and high end configs for a mid-ranger. It is a mid-ranger and it will have some cons. As far as I see it, maybe the NFC would be a drawback. I wouldn't really worry about the compass sensor. I don't think it would be useful very much. But its just my opinion, you may need it.
But compass is a fairly basic sensor......
Does it mean there will be no navigation support on G4 (Plus)?
Will the gyroscope help?
Yes, I am also just worried about navigation. Is it possible for Maps to direction based on Mobile Data/Wifi in the absence of magnetometer?

I do believe the Gyro would be suffice. Even the G3 didn't have one and I think not many people complained of it. They were able to navigate without a Gyro too. I am not sure how the compass sensors work or how useful they would be but I don't care anyway lol

The gyro won't help. However, the compass isn't necessary for navigation. The GPS is what you need, which can locate you wherever you are, so it can tell what way you're going. If you really need to know what way is north, South... and it's nighttime do you can't figure out from the sun, you'll need to open up maps, and start walking, and you'll see in what direction you're moving.

I wasn't aware G3 had a compass. I know its a basic sensor but maybe Motorola thought it wasn't useful so ditched it.

According to gsmarena, yes. The g2 also had, but it was a horrible gyro that was clearly not tested. I couldn't find any info on the play and regular edition
I asked the compass question in motorola's Forum and this was Matt's answer:
No, it does not have a compass/magnetometer. It does have GPS but won't support a compass app.
That make's it a NONO for hiking because a low speed or standing stil at crossroads you definitely need this to show "the way" aka rotate the map or the guiding arrow (like in Locus Pro). GPS does this at speeds above maybe 6 km/h.
as far as i know G3 does not have compass. i owned it ,
it also doesnt have NFC

There you go. Confirmed that it doesn't have the magnetic compass. Strange.. Why would Motorola do such a thing. Someone also replied on the other thread this could be the reason the phone doesn't support driving mode which was supported on g3!!!

Why would they do such a thing? Because most people won't realise and won't care. That's why. I personally do care, but I'm the minority.
Yeah pretty sucks. Hope they release G4 Turbo like G3 and include a proper compass. but don't hold your heads up the chance is slim.

Of course. The only issue would be with the cardboard v1, where the button, which was two magnets that didn't even touch the screen, wouldn't work as the phone doesn't contain a magnetometer (aka digital compass). Though even many phones which do don't work because of the placement.
