About [root] GPS Control SiRF StarIV

### ROOTED SAMSUNG GT-I9100/GT-I9100T/GT-I9100G/SGH-I777 or GALAXY NEXUS DEVICE REQUIRED ###

This tool can control the Static Navigation feature of the SiRF Star IV GPS receiver in some Samsung Galaxy phones.
This feature is by default disabled. The result is that the phone cannot be used for averaging, geocaching, architectural and other precision applications.
GPS Control can enable Static Navigation. With it enabled, the GPS chip no longer filters out location data and updates the location at 1Hz even when the device is stationary. This is required for averaging and other applications that need constant location updates.

It supports every Gingerbread firmware and already includes support for beta Ice Cream Sandwich firmwares.

Future versions will add support for more SiRF Star IV features and will enable detailed configuration of the GPS.

If you find this tool useful you may support its development by downloading the donate (ad-free) version.

Free version requires permission to access the network for ad updates. Paid version requires no network permissions.

It works just fine, only it doesn't solve my gps problem... Because the driver is out-dated... I'm running CM11 (= kitkat 4.4.x) on i9100 and the driver needed for this app is for ICS or JB....

This saved me a huge amount of time had a problem with the gps and did everything to fix it but failed until I came across this app.after installing it on my GT-I9100G it was not working then I contacted the developer he was very help full replied to my email with in an hour. My device was not supported In first place he took the time to integrate it and then update his app on the market. And it worked in the end. He did all this for free I would encourage everyone to donate and use this app.

UPDATE: More phones/devices need this software. Author not contactable at the moment? Please help! ;) .................... I spent about a month trying to understand why my NZ Telecom SGS2 GPS wasn't working well under 5 kp/h after having gone faster than 5 kp/h at some point. Hours and hours of testing, talking to people on forums. Then, yesterday, someone said "look into Static Navigation". That was the magic phrase. I found discussions and not much longer after that, this app. Installed it and... it didn't work on my phone. Contacted the author, and within an hour he said he'd fix it for my phone. A few hours later, a new version was available - and it WORKS. Yay, a GPS the way it is supposed to work. If you have a SiRF GSP chip in your phone, and it isn't updating your position every second after you come out of the car, then you need this app. Doesn't work for your phone? Contact the author. 5 stars.

Thank you so much for this app! Before my OS update GPS was working perfect, but afterwards it was not working at all. Now it picks up my hiking trails again. Thanks again!
