Possible fix for GPS not acquiring correct location
Hopefully this can help someone else with the GPS not acquiring the proper location.
I was doing testing with different GPS tools from the Android Market. I believe I found a program that may work. Do a search for "GpsFix" Here is how I tested it. 1. Using FROYO x RED 02.06, GPS using Google maps will show my location as in the ocean somewhere. 2. Installed GpsFix, my GPS location is fixed instantly. to rule out a fluke. 3. Formated my SD card with HP SD formatting tool. 4. This time I used a fresh ndno's FRX04 package with the 1253 kernel OCed at 710Mhz. From here 5. Google map - GPS shows me in the middle of some ocean again. 6. Downloaded and installed GpsFix 7. Google map - GPS shows correct location again. I don't why it worked for me. Not saying it will fix everyone's issues, but I just thought to share my personal experiences and hopefully might help others. Feel free to ask me if there's any questions. Only tested it on a Sprint TP2. |
