Dear kasty I made some test to control GPS signal on Pipo m9pro with these ROM:

- kasty 23/8/13

- Stock FW 06/09/2013

- kasty 06/09/2013

here the result

Kasty rom have a better Antutu but a worse GPS perfomance....

Can you fix it?

Many thanks

I'll try some optimizations that may help to improve the GPS Time to Fix (TTF), still, based on users report, it looks like the average (if no low) GPS performance of the M9pro seems to be related to the tablet case and GPS antenna design which can hardly be fixed with just firmware/software.

Cheers.

I did extensive tests with different versions of stock and kasty ROMs.GPS performs exactly the same - poorly. However the orientation of the tablet made significant difference. Standing it in portrait mode with the camera to your right resulted in 4 to 6 dB better signal than having it down flat. The case is apparently blocking signals from many directions and reorienting the case helps. This is something that cannot be fixed in firmware.
