Good evening (in Europe anyway :huh: everybody

I did some field testing with my Samsung i8000 (on an actual field :P

th_SNC00229.jpg

As you can see in screens bellow i tried 6 different settings and wrote down data given by 3 different apps.

What is what in excel screen:

a, b, c, d, e, f - each presents one test with different setting in Nogarder ( *#1472365# )

sats: bla | bla - means satellites in view and satellites tracked (connected)

HDOP - The horizontal dilution of precision

VDOP - Vertical Dilution Of Precision

PDOP - Positional Dilution OF Precision

TTFF - Time To First Fix response time

me before:

raw data - a mess:

Conclusion:

Next time I need different complex application - DOES anyone know about one that does good diagnostics?

Good night yall

Tried the registry settings. Seemed to work ok. Fix in 1-2 minutes. When I turned my phone on again in Istanbul, it took quite a bit longer to get a fix.

But the navigation seems to have big delay now.

Will try further.

Have changed the Accuracy, Vacuracy and QOPdelay thingies back to default.

Yes, follow the steps as the first post! Registry tweak eases gps fix to TomTom.

Using iGO 8.3.4.1179

And GPS fix time is almost immediate, and everytime I load it, totally different to the older version I was using 8.3.2

I can get a sat fix with iG0 (i8000) but the response is too slow. It sometimes get a delay of 1 sec, and also accuracy moves from high to poor constantly.

With TomTom I only get the message waiting for a valid signal, so I cannot find any sat. I have installed the gps fix but still no improvement w/tomtom

I use Gps Mod Driver + Tomtom on both i900 and i8000, everytime fixed less than 2min, there is no need to change any registry setting.

dunno if the last part was a question :huh:

anyway...

If you're not sure wether or not you proceeded correctly make sure you did all this:

- instal 2 registry settings from .cab files

- try to change values in *#1472365# aka Nogarder GPS application on 1 0 1 1 0 (or 4 0 2 1 0)

- Soft restart

-GPS:

-set values in GPS settings on COM 4 for applications (this should be already done by CAB files though)

-Set Baud Rate on 57600 instead of 115200

-Allow Windows to control applications GPS settings (and vise versa - allow your application to be controled by Windows)

XTRA: allow XTRA server and and SNTP server and download fresh XTRA Data (this can be done via ActiveSync aswell

Did you ever get any GPS signal, or was your GPS ever working?

If not it could be damaged GPS modul.

Don't to be smartass but be sure you are oustide, better yet somewhere with minimum buildings (skyscraper = always bad for GPS signal :P )

Could the people having problems with their GPS please state their Rom version for phone.

I am currently on Phone rom version I8000XXJD1 and it is brilliant.

The version i had installed before this ( JB1) wasnt all that bad but i have really noticed an improvemnt in GPS acquisition times and accuracy with this version.

Is it working well, without any change in the original settings ? Which software are you using ? I can get a sat fix with IGO, but now with TomTOm

I have made the changes mentioned in post 95, I made these settings without even trying to use the gps with standard settings so it may be that original settings will also work.

I mainly use tomtom (version 7.917) but also have Igo (version 8.3.2.97313) and the latest googlemaps and they all work fine.

I take it you are referring to settings\QOS?

If so then i have my settings set to 1 0 0 0 0 ( tried many combinations but these give me best accuracy and lock times)

Here are some screenshots of the settings you should have in nogarder gps.

If these are not correct then edit your settings as in screen shots and reset phone and try downloading.

PS. Add http:// to the beginning of server addresses and amend download interval as required (1=every hour, 2= every 2 hours etc (Default is 168)

If it is still not sorted insert the attached application into \windows\startmenu\programs and download xtra using this app( I find it does a better job than built in version)

Not if you download via wifi or active sync.

Obviously simcard will be needed if you want to download over data connection

I think you must have an older rom than me because i had a similar problem before where there was no way of turning the phone radio off without disabling all radios(bluetooth.wifi) but with this new rom i have installed everything is independent and i can turn the phone radio off without going into full flight mode
