[SOLVED] Cell or network location positioning broken
 

Until recently, location apps that have no valid GPS still showed a nearby location based on the network location.
Right now, the postion they *always* get through is:
Obviously, this is wrong (it is a location near Charleroi, Belgium - about 100km from where I am)

The only thing I can imagine doing that changed this was:
Does anybody have a clue what's going on, or a hint how to debug this? I already tried supl.nokia.com and supl.google.com - no difference (and yes, I have network location enabled)

Can somebody who has CSSU and power v47 see what location he gets when he disables GPS?

I will need a reliable GPS very soon on a trip and without network location the lock takes much much longer.

SOLUTION: invalid SSL certificate of supl.google.com + phone needs reboot after switching to supl.nokia.com

Same thing to me!

I also have installed

- upgrade power kernel v46 to v47
- install CSSU

Please Guys!!! Any Help?

Re: Cell or network location positioning broken
 

Yes: I have Power 46 and CSSU and my GPS is fine.

What does GPSJinny say? Do you have satellites?

Re: Cell or network location positioning broken
 

The issue is when there is not a GPS lock, when using network positioning. But I have v47....

Re: Cell or network location positioning broken
 

Exactly... No Network Positioning...

The lack of this feature makes the time to GPS lock endless

Re: Cell or network location positioning broken
 

Maybe you should change the Thread Title to Cell or network location positioning broken (maybe CSSU bug)...

This gonna make more people see it

Re: Cell or network location positioning broken
 

Erm, which is it? Approximate location by network address or a-GPS part that downloads ephemeris and catalogs?

Anyway. They both work for me. My zero-GPS home (reinforced concrete) still shows me to be on the right street. Software (GPSJinny) reports <500m error. Spotme is spot on .. heh. Nokia maps is also quite happy to point within 80 meters of my location, though the dot is dark (no accurate GPS).

Plugin says "Coarse accuracy"

Re: Cell or network location positioning broken
 

OK, does that mean we can rule out CSSU? So v47 remains the only one causing it?

Re: Cell or network location positioning broken
 

Seems that way. Or a combination of both?

Re: Cell or network location positioning broken
 

As I reported several days ago in another thread, supl.google.com SSL certificate has expired and therefore it won't work correctly with the N900. If you are using supl.google.com you need change the address of the positioning server back to supl.nokia.com. After that, you should restart the phone to make sure the change takes effect.

Re: Cell or network location positioning broken
 

Woha... thanks for that tip. I mean the phone restart one.

I had actually read about the SSL issue, and switched to supl.nokia.com, but I didn't reboot and as you can guess it didn't help.

Just changed it again + rebooted: success!

Re: Cell or network location positioning broken
 

Glad I could help. If someone here knows a way to get Google to fix their SUPL servers SSL certificate, please let us know. When they do work Google's servers are faster and more accurate than Nokia's servers. At least that is my experience here in the USA with T-Mobile.

Re: [SOLVED] Cell or network location positioning broken
 

supl.google.com is working again :D

Re: Cell or network location positioning broken
 

Google has updated the SSL certificate of supl.google.com, so now it works again with the Nokia N900.
