Hey guys,
Brand new to the Android world. I've had a iphone 4 that I found with a cracked screen and repaired for a couple of years now, but that's it. I just picked up the D801 off eBay for 140, which seemed like a good deal. I got one, and the GPS worked once, then never again. I got a second one, and the GPS is so-so. I really need quick GPS for work (I'm a biologist and would like to continue using apps to take field data with a GPS point as on my apple). So far, I like a lot about it, more than miss from the iphone.
I've updated to Lollipop, and the GPS was fairly worthless. 150 foot accuracy if it would ever get a fix. Rooted it so I could use FasterGPS and it made it worse. Never saw a satellite, let alone connect to one. Then, I started looking around to get the best settings to manually alter the gps.conf file. It's ok now. I can get a fix outside after it's using upwards of 8 or 9 satellites, but it takes forever. Under a forest canopy it takes even longer. Inside, forget it, usually. Also, if I'm driving, it will never get a fix, even if it using a whole bunch of satellites, unless i pull over for a few minutes. I've also opened up the back of the phone and shimmed up the contacts to the antenna. I was considering buying some conductive grease to improve the contact.
This is all disappointing considering I've used my crappy failing iphone to take waypoints and get directions from the amazon to the streets of Bangkok without a hitch.
I use the phone entirely over wifi, so no carrier, which wasn't a problem with my iphone. It would connect to a satellite instantly, and the directions were always impeccable if I got them with a wifi connection and cached the map before setting out. Even if I didn't do that, it would still pick up my location instantly.
So, here's my gps.conf file as it currently stands. Any suggestions would be much appreciated:
