the current gps config in root/etc file has one line ...ntp_server=us.pool.ntp.org
I get a view of up to 16 satellites using gps test but no fix , even after 1/2 hour of sitting outside.
tried to replace the gpsconfig file with this... ( thinking it may help )
NTP_SERVER=north-america.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
but when i try i keep getting it is read only.
using root browser i get a "failed" notice...so i now am trying FX that gives me the "item is read only" message.
steps i take -
1) open fx and copy the "new" gps config to clipboard
2)open system(root) and mount it to r/w
3)open etc folder and set it to r/w
4) then when i paste the copied file I am asked if I want to replace/merge etc...i say replace/merge
5) then i get a file cannot be written error and the etc folder jumps back to being mounted as read only.
6) i have to reboot to be able to get the r/w permission granted again but can't get paste the error when trying to paste the file .
I hope this makes sense to those reading it ...I know the gps in my phone is not the best but neither mine nor my wifes gps functions seem to work ( same phone bought at same time )
thanks in advance for any help
