#Mediatek gps update california apk#

I am not sure whether the app will still work on the latest Android releases that are very restrictive about what files an APK can access and edit, but given that the actual update of the EPO file is done inside a root shell, it should not be a problem. Your device must be rooted to use this app. The second and third buttons are only to be used if you suspect that the GPS system in your device is in a messed-up state, normally you should not need them. It suffices to push the first button once every month. The interface only has three buttons: вЂњUpdate EPO,вЂќ вЂњClear GPS State,вЂќ and вЂњClear EPOвЂќ.

EPO Updater is the simplest possible solution, only takes about 50В kB, has no ads or useless bloat, and only requires network access permission. Those apps however are ad-supported, bloated, or complicated. There are other apps that do the same as this one. It downloads the file from another location which does not suffer from excessive load. At this time, the server is overloaded so often that the automatic update fails almost all the time.

In the system preferences or engineer mode, it is possible to enable automatic updating of this file, but this has gradually worked worse and worse over the course of years, because ever more phones are hammering the flimsy file server. This file helps the GPS system to obtain a quicker satellite fix. EPO Updater is an Android app that allows to manually update the EPO.DAT file on MediaTek-based phones and tablets.
