cool

anyone tried gps? need at least 6 min to lock.

stock ones

is it my hw problem or firmware?

the fw will improve gps?

for my >5min locking, i used to switch the gps button off and only on when i need to use gps

yesterday, i leave the gps button on all the time. this morning, i need about 1 min to get a lock when using gps test

i guess leaving the gps button on helps here (note : the gps button located when you scroll the top window down)

but still it is 1 min, not seconds

when i got the lock, i switch off gps test and switch on back after a few min, manage to get locking after a few seconds

i don't mind leaving the gps button on all the time (it didn't eat too much juice) but it is quite annoying to get the lock after 1 min.

Question : Is the few seconds locking for you guys is after you activated the gps software earlier?

note : my car is tinted but not heavy tint

haven't use any program so far. i just want to try simple (and free) ones first

just tried again on open sky outside my car. still need 1 min

i don't have a data plan yet, so i don't activate data

others can confirm if this is the "missing link"?

Thanks bro for your info. btw, i heard AGPS need to charge money right? if yes, how much?

Uncle Benny, do you use AGPS for your seconds locking?

going to get my data plan end of this month actually

got a good deal but must wait a bit

so if data is enabled, agps is by default used or must set something?

so it is auto right as long as data is enabled?

btw, now inside my house, connect to wifi. manage to get locking within 30 sec (note : i am inside my house)

i think the agps is really the missing link

will need a dataplan enable to really try it out outside if it really improves but my guess it will

thanks to all for your help

you don't have root access, this action requires root access

haven't root yet. still getting used to the phone

actually a bit afraid to do so cuz this is the first time i am using smartphone (the closest is 5800 )

btw, will rooting cause the installed apps to vanish and have to reinstall?

thanks guys. will try to root asap. which one you suggest for better stability? (means tried and tested no issue)

btw, taken a few outdoor photos. 2 words : Simply amazing
