[Tutorial] Faster A-GPS response on Nokia N9
Hi guys!
Today I was trying to change my SUPL server on my Nokia N9, but surprisingly, I cannot do it by Settings. I tried to search on Google, but not found anything about it. So I started to search where it is configured and change. Here it is!! Step 1: Enable developer mode and open Terminal Step 2: On Terminal type Code:
~ $ devel-su - Step 3: edit the file below by typing Code:
~ # nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf Code:
PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com Step 5: reboot the phone From now, your GPS will be 'locked' faster than before!! In my tests the GPS locked in less than 10 seconds (after Nokia Maps fully loaded)! Before, the lock was around 40 seconds to 1 minute. It's known the SUPL Nokia server is slow, and in Brazil (where I live) it's outdated, so the solution is to use Google servers. I hope it helps! =D PS: If you not have 'nano' and receive 'not found', install it using command: Code:
~ # apt-get install nano |

A-GPS use cells informations to triangulate your position, and to get coordinates of the cells it will query SUPL servers... ;) So the property will be "true" if you wanna ALWAYS use SUPL servers (A-GPS) instead of waiting regular-GPS satellites to respond. Get it?! :) |

Tried to ping supl.nokia.com:
18-20 ms supl.google.com: 134-256 ms This was from Sweden. I would say this mods effect will highly depend on your location. |
