Thread: How to get super fast GPS locked

So I did a little digging and found that a key element of GPS satellite lock is syncing the phone time with atomic clock (from Satellites or NTP server). Smart Time Sync Pro (need root access) does that and I can get satellites locked within seconds instead of minutes!!
