How to Improve GPS Lock Speed

How to Improve GPS Lock Speed

By At July 15, 2010 3

If you have experienced GPS lock problem in your android phone, it's probably because of the GPS setting on the phone is not optimized for connection in your country. Someone at samdroid has shared a tip about this:
  1. Create a gps.conf file containing these:

    NTP_SERVER=ru.pool.ntp.org
    XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
    XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
    XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
    SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
    SUPL_PORT=7276
  2. Copy gps.conf in to your sdcard
  3. With adb shell, run these commands:
    su
    remount rw
    cat /sdcard/gps.conf > /system/etc/gps.conf
    reboot
You should now lock GPS more quickly.

Note the red letters in the gps.conf, you should change this to a server appropriate to your country.

    Hi MAD'u CrY,

    First, you need to root the Android. There are many tutorials you can read on the Internet. Once you have it rooted, you can edit/create gps.conf in the system folder. In the example above, I created the file on my PC and transfered it to the device's SD card, and then copied it into the system/etc folder.
