MTK6589 GPS won't work - dodemans - 2013-08-26

I bought about a month ago a ''MTK6589'' Great phone!
The only problem is that my gps won't work, never did actually.
It got imported from hongkong to holland (where i live) so the setting are probally wrong...
I tried alot of ''Fixes'' from this site and more but they all won't help.

I replaced the files with the orginal ones again in the hope somebody can help me:

doesn't matter if i'm indoor or outdoor , it just keeps searching.
Sometimes with a little bit of luck it shows red dots in ''mobileuncle tools / Ygps'' but all the salatite's just won't work...

What i tried:

Did you copy a whole code into root/etc/gps.conf?
Please try the code again. Look to me that you used just a half of code there.

Now i got two files , not sure if thats good because i'm totally new haha
gps.conf and gps.comf.bak

but the gps still doesnt work

I also tried: another site/

Didn't help much either , it sees something but it won't do anything

In case u wonder , i do not live in a mountain or in the middle of nowhere , i live in a city call'd Venlo so GPS signals on phone shouldn't be a problem
