Today one of the colleague came to me with brand new Samsung Galaxy S i9001, which couldn’t get accurate gps fix.
After short time, i found a working solution on xda-developers forum…
1 – Disable “Use Wireless Networks” | Settings > Location & Security
2 – Enable “Use GPS satellites” | Optional: “Use sensor aiding” (I do use it)
3 – Dial *#*#3214789650#*#* | Stock Dialer usually works best with codes.
[NOTE] When I enter the above code in GB default dialer it brings me to the “Location & Security” settings screen from Step 1. I fluked into this, to get into the Angry GPS settings you need to Double Press the ‘back’ button. As if you’re double-clicking your mouse button.
4 – Enter “Settings” | Then enter “General Settings“
—| Test Mode: S/W Test
—| Operation Mode: MSBASED
—| Start Mode: Hot Start
—| GPS Plus: ON
—| GPS Logging: OFF
—| Time Out(s): 255
—| Accuracy: 50M
Now back to the previous screen.
5 – Enter “SUPL Settings” |
—| Server FQDN Type: Custom Config
—| Server: supl.google.com
—| Server Port: 7276
—| Server Type: UMTS SLP
—| SUPL Secure Socket: OFF
—| AGPS Mode: SUPL
—| SSL Type: VerSign
6 – Back out to previous screen, and then continue backing out to close and save the settings.
7 – Power Off Completely. (Until you feel the short vibe)
8 – Turn on phone.
9 – Get a clear line of sight to sky.
10 – Enable “Use Wireless Networks” | Settings > Location & Security
11 – Enter Angry GPS Settings again.
12 – Press “Delete GPS Data“
13 – Press “TTFF Test” | Press “Start GPS” Let your phone sit for about 5 min. without touching anything. It will lock on to a few satellites, stop, count to 60 and do the same thing over. I let it do this about 10 times. Press “Stop GPS” and Back out to save.
