Guest alvari Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 for me the nokia settings in hidden menu kept stored, gps was working after flashing fr18 flawless ... I guess you didn't wipe before install? I did and didn't even have the nokia supl as an option in hidden menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterfdevries Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi guys, I also have the GPS-problem on my O2x using Fr17. I tried to reach the hidden menu, using launcherPRO. The problem is that 'com.lge.hiddenmenu' isn't in the list of activities. Using the 1809#*990# code only gives the error 'android.process.acore' has stopped. Wiping from between the back and homekey also has no effect. What to do? Thank you for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alvari Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Paul: There seems to be a bug in the google supl server settings in fr18 The default certification file is set to NULL when looking at it from hidden menu. I removed the NULL string from the cert field and made sure TLS setting wasn't selected and now I can get a lock also when using google supl.

Guest Norupz Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Worked like a charm here.. Couldn't get a gps-lock indoors before and now I'm getting it in about 10 seconds :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest choccy Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Paul, is it possible to use the Nokia SUPL server as default in future ROMs? A few ROMs back you added the /system/etc/gps.conf... but that file is obsolete if a working SUPL server is set in the HiddenMenu. The Nokia fix or the GPS patch made no difference to me at all. Takes ages to lock and even when it has the lock lasts 2 secs at most! Really frustrating now - Rooted on Stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest choccy Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Select it or deselect it? Mine was selected but nothing have now turned it off but that goes against the instructions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chong01 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) The Nokia settings allowed me to get a lock within 2-3sec, but it's highly inaccurate and temporary - the lock will drop after few more seconds, and GPS will start hunting again for ~2mins or more before getting a real permanent lock. SLP auto provision didn't change anything. Using Fr18 beta2. Edited June 1, 2011 by chong01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tomat Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Just got my gps working properly for the first time since I got the phone a week back! I changed the setting to Nokia and adjusted the gps.conf file to my local zone (from here http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/europe) . Weirdly Google maps did the same thing both of my last Nokias did and just couldn't get an accurate lock until the phone had locked the satellites from a separate satellite app (gps status) which picked up and locked 7 satellites in seconds, as soon as I switched to Google maps it was flying. I had the same experience with my old N95, it was fine after but Nokia Maps just wouldn't work right until I'd first used the inbuilt gps diagnostic to pick up satellites the first time.

Guest RadioCharlie Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 @sprsk Remove the trailing ) character from the URL :) Having encountered this GPS bug myself over several ROMs and read the various SUPL tweaks and server settings - I am wondering why any kind of server setting will make any difference for a GPS (radio) receiver? If you're attempting to lock onto satellites then, aside from a clear path to the sky, you need a good aerial and sensitive receiver (just like picking up FM radio). Obviously, these days, phones don't have pull-up aerials so you'll get some attenuation by holding the device. From a technical point of view, the fact that the phone can't see/lock onto the satellites suggests a firmware issue and/or GPS receiver problem and nothing to do with server settings. When using Wifi location aiding, it's quick and accurate. But when purely using the GPS, I can sit there for minutes at a time with just 1 or 2 satellites in range. A TomTom or hiker's GPS is just a radio receiver with a display - If that works next to the 2X in a head-to-head test, then it's gotta be a firmware issue.

Guest RadioCharlie Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Interesting - Just tried the CM7 ROM that I baked yesterday using the free kitchen here. Launched GPS Test, GPS turned-on via in-app menu - 5 Satellites immediately found and a lock in 4 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
