Galaxy i5500/i5503 5 gps setting

The galaxy i5500 is a grat cheap little android phone.
Has the odd issue but pretty good for $170.

Gps seems to be slow sometime in getting a fix.
After going to the gpssetup2 menu *#321478650#

Parameter Settings
Start mode - hot
Position mode - 2

Fix request
Ops mode - standalone
Server optins - local

Seem to work best for me

Remount Shell

# open a shell
adb shell

# switch to root
su

# check you're root? it should return uid=0
id

# now you can remount as read/write if you like
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
