DieBruine 397 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I unboxed my Pro1 (not-x) and installed LoS 20 on it. The phone is unable to get a GPS fix. I have a registered copy of GPS status. Downloading A-GPS does not help. I went back to stock and still no GPS lock. So, the only thing I can assume and hope for is a dodgy re-assembly of my Pro1 (screen, keyboard and battery replaced) that has disabled the GPS-antenna/ functionality. So, I am asking the community for help with troubleshooting. Is there anyone who can point out and/ or suggest what to look for when disassembling my Pro1? I am hoping for a disconnected pin or connector. Or maybe an oxidized/ dirty contact. I'm back on LoS, so some fewer satellites. Sttill, never a fix. I have been trying for three days now. LoS, stock, LoS-no-A-GPS. Left it out in the yard for 12+ hours while at work. No fix! And yes, off course, Google high accuracy helps with a hot fix. But I would like to be able to use the GPS-functionality in rural areas... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
claude0001 1,343 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) I fixed similar problems (in Germany) years ago by having the following changes in /system/vendor/etc/gps.conf: [...] 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 [...] XTRA_VERSION_CHECK=1 [...] NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org [...] INTERMEDIATE_POS=1 [..] SUPL_HOST=supl.vodafone.com SUPL_PORT=7275 [...] since then, GPS has been working quite OK for me (I have no Gapps on my Pro1). Changing that file in LOS 20 probably involves Magisk scripting, which I unfortunately have no experience with. As a quick check whether those settings help at all in your case, you could just try one of my LOS 16.0 builds, which have them already included. Of course you'll have to wipe data for that, but it seems like you're in the process of flashing OS's back and forth anyway ... 🙂 Edited April 25, 2023 by claude0001 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DieBruine 397 Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 Busy days... Just tried your suggestion. It does something, at least Maps will show a location. But I still don't get a fix. For some reason it assumes I'm 115km to the East. Edited gps.conf and rebooted. Left it outside in the yard for at least an hour. None of 20 satellites get a fix. There is something definitely wrong with my "brand new" Q1000. Thanks for the suggestion though. This must be hardware/ antenna. WiFi reception also seems worse than before/ other Q1000's I owned. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
