[Question] Does GPS work ??

[GizBeat]

Download 'Faster GPS' from Play. Set your location
Download GPS Test
In GPS Test settings, set it so the screen doesn't turn off
Sit your phone outside for 15 minutes and come back to it.
A-GPS and EPO can help get a faster lock, but you should be able to lock with them off as well

I didn't download "Faster GPS" or "GPS Test", but it took a while to download. About 1-2 minutes tops, though. Not too bad compared to some.

Yes, they're just tools. Not required. Faster GPS (root required) sets your location so it immediately knows what set of satellites to try and pair with. GPS Test shows what satellites you're connected to and what the SNR is.

It lives ........ went for a sit out in the sun for 10 mins and now have GPS fix

Thanks for the help guys ......

Excellent. You should get a faster lock now after that initial lock.
