I have european device which had problems with the original firmware (locking wasn't good, Google maps location wasn't accurate, GPS disconnected).

When I upgraded to the latest firmware GPS wasn't functioning at all (JWG5).

Today I changed some *#*#1472365#*#* settings more and got the GPS function perfectly.

I tested the Google Maps and satellite fix was really fast, connection was good and location was accurate. I also used "GPS Test" to look how many satellites were in use (in the sky were 10-12 satellites where 8-9 were usually constantly in use). Accuracy was for most of the time 30-15 feets.

I drove in the car about one hour and Google Maps and GPS Test worked perfectly.

Settings are these:

Application Settings (these are the default ones if I'm right):
Session Type: Tracking
Test Mode: S/W Test
Operation Mode: Standalone
Start Mode: Hot Start
GPS Plus On
Dynamic Accuracy: On
Accuracy: 50
Use Skyhook: Off (I also tested on, but there was no difference)
Use Pc Tool: Off

SUPL/CL Settings:
Server: supl.google.com
Server port: 7276
SUPL Secure Socket: Off
How do I change these settings, I don't seem to have access to them?

Do I need to be rooted?
