If your GPS is taking too long to fix, replace /etc/gps.conf with attached gps.conf file using any root explorer.

I was able to get a fix in 20-30 seconds.

Thanks a lot. Couldn't find the original file though. I just copied it in the folder. I think I felt a quicker fix this time :)

how to give 644 permission
tried randomly changing the permissions but it fails!!
please help
 
Btw guys,just FYI, there is no gps.conf file in A75...
So I don't know whether this works or not, but if u hv got fixed once then u will get next fix bit earlier, that's without this file...
Even EPO technology from MediTek works good, A75 gps takes time for 1st fix with that, afterwards it get me fixed in abt 10-20 sec...
