Requirements:

- Faster GPS                      
- MTK Engineering
- GPS Test                         

Let's Start !!!

1. Opent MTK Engineering and select "MTK Settings"



then go to "Location" and select "Location Based Service" 



In "Location Engineering Mode" go to the tab "EPO" and click on "EPO Idle" so it changes to "EPO Downloading" it should download EPO information for A-GPS. (you will see a small text saying 100 complete)



2. Go back to "Location" and select "YGPS" and select "Information" tab.



Here you need to press these buttons: "hot" -> "full" -> "AGPS restart" in this order. You will see on screen of device "SI Received for UP Session" or something similar. This means the GPS started working and begins to aquire satellite information based on EPO that you've downloaded for AGPS.

3. Optional step you can open "Faster GPS" application and select you region continent and region for faster agps (epo data) downloading. (this requires root)



4. After all these steps try out "GPS Test" application that will show your results:




TIPS: If the GPS still has no signal or you get no lock from the settings try a REBOOT or POWEROFF phone and do all these steps again !!
Eventually you will get GPS then it will work faster and it can be disabled with the Toggles from MIUI.

Have fun !
