Guest Paddy_ Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Is there any way to decrease the time it takes this phone to lock onto GPS. (not web assisted) simply to the GPS sats. No matter what ROM I try the lock time seems to take 4-5min at present. Any help would be great. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oresteso Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I had the same issue with 936. Now with Infusion it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tcpaulh Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 First lock ever on a new ROM takes a while. Subsequent locks should be much quicker. Using software that simply changes your region/time-server (Eg fasterfix) is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jsevi83 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I edited /system/etc/gps.conf to make fix much faster in Europe. Here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?1h2w1g1556ci55y You can open the file and in the extra settings section add a server from the country you are in, above this line "NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org". You can find servers for your country here: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/ Then make a backup of the file /system/etc/gps.conf and replace it with this one, check that it has the same permissions as the original and finally reboot.

Guest popoyaya Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks for this jsevi83. Any idea which server(s) to use for the UK? That site seems to be for "time servers"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jsevi83 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Thanks for this jsevi83. Any idea which server(s) to use for the UK? That site seems to be for "time servers"? Yes, they are network time servers. For the UK use: NTP_SERVER=0.uk.pool.ntp.org NTP_SERVER=1.uk.pool.ntp.org NTP_SERVER=2.uk.pool.ntp.org NTP_SERVER=3.uk.pool.ntp.org Edited October 17, 2012 by jsevi83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest popoyaya Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Thanks! Use all of these together,or just one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jsevi83 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I use all, you can pick only one if you want. If you pick just one, choose this: NTP_SERVER=uk.pool.ntp.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jsevi83 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 derekgordon server is not always up. I use version 2 of his script (the one you post is version 3), with specific servers for each country which make connection much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
