Samsung Galaxy 3 - GPS Fix

Samsung Galaxy 3 / 5 > I5800 series has many trouble with gps fix. To solve this just change NTP server in gps.conf located in system/etc. The simple way to do this is using FasterFix that you can download here: http://rapidshare.com/files/424025236/FasterFixv92.apk

Attention Root is required!



Change NTP depending on your location. For a full list of NTP server visit http://www.ntp.org/.
You can create also a gps.conf file like this:

NTP_SERVER=it.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

and change NTP_SERVER with the one of your area.

To push gps_conf in system/etc you can also use ADB (you'll find it into root/unroot package):

From terminal wrote:

adb shell

and then type:

su
remount rw
cat /sdcard/gps.conf > /system/etc/gps.conf
reboot
