[Question] Some help with GPS please

[stevenma61]

Steven -

I tried both of the above - I installed your conf, then took the back off the phone and modified the antenna - ALAS with no joy.

i had 3 phones with me

S7589 - no prblems at all, i can pick up the GPS very easy n stable even in the house.

Inew6000- it is so hard to pick up the GPS signal even outside my house, i have to pull out the modified antenna, once i pull out the antenna, i can see it pick up the satellite straight away if i were outside the house. Inside the house, it may take a bit longer, about 20-40 sec. Now i am quite confident to say that i can lock the satellite with my inew at anytime, any place without the net connection.

Zopo ZP990 - it is ok to pick up the signal in the house, but difficult to lock the satellite, but once i go out the house, then it start to lock the satellite in a better than average time.

i had been trying to for the best solution for these china phone to lock the satellite for quite a while.

i had tried with my friend's smasung phone, their phone can lock the satellite so fast.

Ya, i had a viewconic viewpad 7( i bought it 2 years ago), i was using it to navigate my way while i had 3 phone in hand that can't do much help to me. the trip was less than 1 weel ago. I knew that the 3 phone cannot be trusted, that was why i brought my old viewpad 7 with me.

after that incident, then i really look into what is the main problem with all the china phone GPS.

Usually i don't use net connection while i was on GPS/navigation, that is why i really need GPS that is really working without the help from net.
