Bad GPS signal reception is related to bad antennas that are used in phones and tablets. MTK receivers are not guilty for bad reception.
I use Goclever M713G (MT6577 + MT6620) as a GPS navigation when i drive and it had very bad GPS reception. I have tried many software related solutions, but none of them helped. I was sure that it was not a software related problem, but I did not know if the problem was due to GPS antenna or GPS receiver, so finally I made a reradiating GPS antenna. So with this reradiating GPS antenna that I made, GPS signal is very strong, now I have GPS lock in few seconds (without reradiating GPS antenna i have lock in about 3 to 5 minutes, and GPS signal is poor).

there is any way to fix the gps without root?

Hi David. as Slack said, this is usually a kind of problem with antenna. You can try the GPS tutorial that gizbeat wrote and skip the part about faster gps app. it can help with some initial issues.

Hi
We have a 2 month old Zopo 990.
Using the GPS is a hit and miss event with the 990. It never works indoors and cannot obtain a lock on a balcony. In a clear field it takes about 1-1.5 minutes to get a lock which it will maintain unless there is any kind of obstruction (backpacks/pockets will stop it) and it is unusual to get a lock with more that 5 satellites in use.
As for the accuracy... it is OK but vague and sometimes silly. E.g. about 1200m up a mountain and the Zopo showed 30m below sea level, Sygic maps (normally a reliably app/map combo) struggles to give sufficiently advanced turn directions and Google maps/nav is unreliable to the point of being useless e.g. yesterday we got an accuracy of within 2000m.
Regards.

iNew V3 very good. Cold locks under a minute even indoors. Warm locks in just a couple of seconds. Normally quite strong SNR.
