GPS problem - no location

[com]

Hi!

I have a problem with GPS on A1. 

It doesn't find a location both in Google maps and in NavDroid, just search icon start blinking and can blinking for hours. 

Reset didn't help.

Clean sky, and sunny weather didn't help neither.

Are familiar with it?

Have you updated the A1's software version to the most recent software? It fixed a lot of GPS problems.

Yep,

And it still doesn't work 

I've already updated it to 

A107W0_A234_001_014_2525_ROW

The Nadroid doesn't; work and maybe I don't know how to use it?  Can someone teach me how to use it?  I had choose the map for Canada and can't find the map in the A 1.  Sometimes the Google map needs at least fifteen minutes to find out my location.

I gave up on NavDroyd. It only allows 1 state. Where I am you kinda sorta need 4 states. I bit the bullet & paid for CoPilot. YRMV (Your Reality Might Vary).

The included version only allows one state.  The full paid version gets you the full map.  That being said, CoPilot Live is a far superior product to the paid version of NavDroyd (I own both).

If you have your device rooted you can try the following.

Change the line 

acNtpServer="10.21.116.63" in acNtpServer="europe.pool.ntp.org"

in file /etc/gps/glconfig.xml (with ES File Explorer, root mode and / mounted writeable)

For US replace europe with north-america.

After modification you must reboot your device.

You should have an active internet connection for the first GPS fix.

The first fix may take up to 5 minutes, all further fixes should be within 15 seconds
