Does China Phone Hero H7000 has GPS?

[ricardocorreia]

Hi there!

I just bought China Phone Hero H7000 about two months ago, and I tried everything to make GPS work. But I got no success so far.

I googled all arround the internet, and I can't get much information about GPS on this phone, or people who actually bought this phone and tried to use GPS.

I bought my phone on dealextreme. You can google for it and search for h7000 if you want to see the specs.

As I said, I tried everything to make GPS work, but it seems that only A-GPS works, and for that I need to be using a data connection such as Wifi.
I used a lot of application from Android market, for testing GPS function, and to fix GPS satellites position, to fix gps.conf, and file permissions. My phone is rooted.

Also tried some other ROMS for this phone, and I always got the same issue. GPS doesn't work without A-GPS turned on, and using a data connection.

With some applications from android market I can update satellites position, and I can see about 13 satellites, but I just can't connect to any of them.

Tried to connect with full view of the sky, and I live on the country side, so buildings and clouds and other stuff shouldn't be a problem. I tried it for hours, outside and I can't connect to any satellite. I'm from Portugal, and I already used the gps.conf settings for Europe, and also for Portugal. But no luck...

If I'm using A-GPS I can see my location on the map, but I can't get any coordinates. WIthout A-GPS nothing works at all.

I tried google maps, nDrive, Navigon and some other free and paid GPS softwares for Android. All of them (appart from google maps) just show "waiting for location" or "searching for GPS", even using A-GPS and a data connection.

I don't know anymore what I can try to make it work... Any ideas?

Does anyone bought this phone? Anyone with the same problem?
Does this phone has GPS? Or does it have A-GPS only?

Sorry for the huge post. Can someone help?

Thanks in advance.
