Galaxy S2 GPS : How to fix it ?

[Jacknif]

Hello !

 

I finally changed my old crappy Samsung ACE for a (already used for 3~ years) Galaxy S II which is working awesomely well, BUT (there is always a but) the GPS on it is working like pure crap and since i am using GPS all the time, this doesn't help at all.

 

I rooted my phone, installed Faster Fix, GPS Test, clear cache (etc...) but nothing work.

 

Thanks for reading

It could be a hardware problem with the antenna's

I don't think so since everyone else that have a S2 seems to have the same problem and if that would a hardware's problem the antenna wouldn't work at all, and sometimes it does (for 10minutes if not moving..)

Lol I remember the early days of android where gps rarely worked correctly if at all. I had LG's very first android phone, the GW620(also known as etna or eve). The gps on that almost never worked and when it did, it'll take close to half an hour to lock on.

What version of S2? I had S2 Skyrocket and GPS worked fine
