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 -
If you not changed your password yet, it will be "rootme"

Step 3: edit the file below by typing
Code:
~ # nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
Inside that file, edit it to be like the one below (in bold the edited strings)

Code:
PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
PrimarySuplAllowHome=true
PrimarySuplAllowRoaming=true
PrimarySuplOnlyGprs=false
SecondarySuplServer=supl.nokia.com
SecondarySuplAllowHome=true
SecondarySuplAllowRoaming=true
SuplForced=true
Step 4: save the file using "CTRL X"
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It's known the SUPL Nokia server is slow, and in Brazil (where I live) it's outdated, so the solution is to use Google servers.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
PS2: I use "true" to "SuplForced", 'cause I always have internet connection, but if you don't have it, leave it "false".
