I recently upgraded my Google Mpas (I was prompted inside Google Maps) and now it doesn't seem to work as well as it used to.
I am using the DCD 2.2.0 ROM for my Titan.
What happens is now it will say "seeking satellites (0)" and "GPS Active (0)" and not find any satellites. Usually it shows me as in the middle of the ocean some where. Sometimes it will flash between "GPS Active (5)" and "GPS Active (0)", but still won't work. Like I said, it was fine before I upgraded Google Maps (about 2 weeks ago). Anyone have any ideas what's causing this?
Just did the google map update today and seems to work fine.. Took a long time to get a lock but once it did it was right on.
I am using verizon and DCD 3.04...
I just upgraded to that Rom my self on my Telus P4000 , did you remember to put the GPS Hardware on Com5? cus i know mine turned itself off once i just set it back to Com5 and it worked perfectly again, and that problem never happen again...
Hopfuly this helps, if not, im sorry, i tried lol ^_~.V cheers

mine did same thing - a soft-reset fixed all the issues, google now works great
I had issues with this as well. I went and set the location setting to off (911 only) then clicked ok. And then I went back in and turned location settings back on and it started working again.
make sure location settings are ON. also, try a few COM ports, 4 and 5 work for me, but 3 is by far the best port on my phone.
From what is posted on this site...Gps is supposed to be set at com 4 at 4800....Gps works will alot better if "primed" with other software before starting map applications...such software is gpsviewer , wififofum , visualgpsce (my recommedation)

im on the newest DCD rom 3.2.xx on the Telus HTC P4000 , i upgraded to the new google maps 2.1.xx and works just fine for me , your DCD rom is pritty dated now, might wana look in to upgrading it ^_^ hope i helps a bit
Agreed, check location setting
Start->Settings->Phone->Services Tab->Location Settings. Turn to "on" That's what happened on my titan when I upgraded. Took me 2 hours to figure it out.

My ameo can fix satellites the first day i got in chicago, but from the second day, it no longer fix. it has been so for 1 week.
i use "quick gps" but the gps still doesn't work. then I changed the server where "packedEphemeris.ee" downloaded from by editing the registry, nothing changed. I've used igo,gps viewer,gps tuner etc., the satellite can be displayed around the picture of earth but they are all red and never become blue or green. ive tried hard reset but nothing changed..
I wonder what's wrong with my ameo? Is it possible that my ameo's gps module is broken? or it's just a software issue?

I have read here somewhere that the GPS Now causes problems with the GPS and caused some lock-ups requiring a soft reset. See if you can find the thread....(hint....search...LOL ) that discusses it. I had also heard that the Ameo had a GPS problem.....that thread is here too.....good luck.
Hope this helps...........Later

i have done soft reset many times and hard reset for several times,nothing changed..i have tried setting the gps program port to com4 or com5 and just like what i did when the gps works fine.The applications can connect to the port and find the gps but it just cant fix a usable signal..
here is the screenshot
please help..
Try GPSView
I find that the best program for getting a lock, it normally works in a few seconds. Also, make sure when you turn it on you are in a WIDE open area. You need a good view of the sky in all directions to get initial lock. Wait until its happily locked onto 4 or 5 sats before fiddling or moving.
i have used gps viewer, and i do test it outdoor in open air, but it just cant get fix in hours.
here is the screenshot while using gps view
Not sure if it will work with your software, but I find that my Ameo is far happier using com1 for the GPS port - I believe this is the software port and com4 is hardware. With com1 I can use multiple gps apps at the same time, e.g. Tomtom and Reperion. If the device has not been used for a while, it can sometimes take a few minutes to get a lock, but no longer than 3-4mins. What I generally do is set one of the GPS apps running as I'm getting my keys coat on e.t.c., then by the time I've installed the Ameo in the car and done my 'preflight checks', its got a fix and I can go.
But deffo try com1 if you have that option.
cant download quick gps
hi can i get some help. i got my new ameo but cant seem to get the gps working. when i tap quickgps all that comes up is download and nothing happens. what might be the reason. do i need to get another gps programme installed?
Yes.
QuickGPS is only for downloading sat data, not for actual GPS tracking use!
GoogleMaps is free and quite good. Microsoft Live search same.
Look for GPSView for ppc as well...
Have fun.
how do you make googlemap work? i mean the track function.
Turn off the MS software GPS management, then get the ABSOLUTE LATEST googlemaps mobile.
I think you set the com port manualy in google, com4 or com5 9600
Its best to use the free GPSView to test out the com settings first to make sure you get the right ones. When you get the right port you will SEE the gps data appear in the text box proving its working. This program gets locks quicker too.
When youve got a lock with that, quit it, then run google and use the same com settings.

i seem to have a peculiar issue as well. i have had my Ameo for 3 months now and GPS download (to get a fix) my TOMTOM 6 have both worked fine. now i try to download the gps data through quickgps, it says "connecting" and after a while returns an error message " connection failed, please try again later" can anyone help please?
I just upgraded to the 3.35.651.2 firmware, and while my Internet speeds have increased, I seem to have lost GPS capabilities.
I used to be able to get a lock immediately in Google Maps. Since the upgrade, when I enable the GPS in G. Maps, it reads "Initializing GPS" and then "Seeking GPS Satellites (0)" but it never gets a lock.I've tried it outdoors in many locations that i've used it in before.
With the 3.16.651 rom it would lock on almost immediately.
Any recommendations/ideas?
I resolved the issue. Must have been something happening with Google Maps. I went to Menu | Options | Reset Google Maps and when it restarted, it zoomed in on my location right away.
GPS
I am using New updated HTC rom and Satellite wont lock while moving it will lock when you stop. using iGuidance v4.0 and Google maps. (my software works fine with external Holux Gps). any one having same problem or may be my GPS chip has a problem ? (tired hard reset, change locations)
I found this on the http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=153883&page=19 website
HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPLAGPS/GPSMode
Change to 4 (orginal value 2)
seems to have worked for me.
with internet I am now getting satellites indoor!
Thanks to Lecithin who posted it.
i just updated this. still waiting to find some results. keeping my fingers crossed.
btw im using the alltel rom so we will see if there is a diff
I was having the same issue. Installed quickGPS and it worked.
I'm running the stock Verizon 6.1 MR1 update with the GPS fix from here. The following GPS programs are loaded:
Fransons GPS Gate 2.6 - using the WM GPS setting to get Iguidance to work
IGuidance 4.0.2
Micosoft Live Search
Google Maps
Everything was working fine last night but this morning Live Search won't find any signals (even though I'm outside with a clear sky). Google Maps doesn't find any satellites. IGuidance satellite indicators aren't working and Franson shows a yellow icon saying "GPS data but no position" - Running OK!
Would someone please let me know if they have the MR1 update with the GPS fix from here and is getting Live Search information today. I'd like to see if Verizon has somehow "screwed" the data signal so this fix no longer works.
Thanks!
Did you try to do a soft reset on the phone? If they are blocking anything it would be the aGPS but not sure how they would single you out. Mine is still working and I am on DCD 3.2.6 with Radio ROM 3.42.50 and my GPS app is getting the aGPS info and then locking indoors.
i think that a soft reset is the GPS best friend
mine always works right off the soft reset
Yep - tried soft-resetting the phone about 7-8 times over various time of the day and still no dice.
I'm going to pair it up it back up with my I-Trek M5+ receiver when I get home and see if get locks on those programs.
Thanks!

just tried it here in NJ and it is working just fine
You might need to change the aGPS mode back to 2 in the registry. After upgrading to the latest PRI and all the GC aGPS stuff, I wasn't getting a fix in doors as I was. So some other post said that they changed that registry setting to 2 and that just worked for me.
GPS stopped working
Verizon must have figured out a way to block the aGPS. I have two XV6800's and both are out of commision. Worked last night, but not this "mourning". I even tried to install the "uninstall" cab by GC, but it would not install. Any ideas?
I have an xv6800 in NY and I just now got a GPS lock using Live Search inside my apartment. Seems to still be working here.
O.K. It's back up now. Verizon might have had an issue in certain areas today. I'm in Ohio and didn't have GPS all day. Now it is back up and running on both phones. Phew.
Sorry, didn't get a chance to post yesterday.
Mine came back up at about 2:15 pm yesterday in Northern Va and it's been fine since.
Probably some hiccup in the network or atmosphere conditions (sunspot activity etc).
Thanks for help everyone!
I had the same problem this weekend. My GPS (google maps) died on me. This was while travelling across Kentucky and Indiana. I tried a softreset a few times. Reinstalled Google Maps. Nothing. Monday, it started working again.
I'm beginning to think that Verizon has some issues with their aGPS servers. I'm constantly having issues here in central New York with not being able to get a gps lock.
Working great for me. I have yet to have a problem or not get connected within seconds.
how do you get the agps addresses and still have DCD roms? is there a seperate cap file for the Agps servers?
Cant search "GPS" =.= so, sorry if this has been solved already...
But anyway, my GPS hasn't worked in a long long while.. I was hoping R2A would fix it, but nope.
It worked once in the first month I got it, and it worked great.
Hasnt worked since...
Tried that GPS test program, no luck.
Google Maps just gets stuck on searching for satellites.
Settings in windows are:
GPS Program port: COM4
GPS Hardware port: NONE
Baud Rate: 4800
Managed by windows: checked
Those are the default settings.. cant remember if thats what i was set to when the GPS worked the first time.
EDIT: I've tried the GPS in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and even Long Island. Doesnt work anywhere. I also keep QuickGPS updated and I use it every time before trying GPS.
No one has any ideas?
I've updated google maps too (about a month ago?)
Well my guess is that the chip itself works, otherwise it probably wouldn't be searching for satelites.
I don't know your problem, but i came across an app with a lot of GPS features, including resetting the GPS chip, it may be of help:
http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
GPS is working fine with my X1. Your windows settings are correct according to mine. Can you check googlemap's GPS setting is managed by windows? Or which room are you using? stock or cooked?

Have you tried tomtom or another gps software?
Fisker, ill try out that app once I get home, thanks.
htainlin,
Im using Stock R2A UK (since i have X1i).
Google maps is set to managed by windows :|
shadow,
I havent tried any other GPS programs since i flashed to R2A. I'll have to find my tomtom cab again.. hm
This is highly depressing..
Could it be my Noreve case back blocking GPS signal? Since its made of metal (i think).
Maybe R3A will help..
If you do manage to do a search there is a file (whos name I can't remember) you might want to delete. Also make sure AGPS isn't enabled.
How do I disable AGPS?
I guess ill try searching AGPS or something similar and find the file youre talking about..
I would also track down your tomtom cab and give it a shot, it might just be google maps (which I got rid of asap)... theres one floating around called TT7_915.9196_VGA__Negro.cab which is pretty good... you can disable the agps via Schapp's Advanced config tool... very good and a must have imho...
Rooted my G1 yesterday for the first time and installed
GreenRomProject-Presents-CyanogenMod-7.1-D/S-08/06/2011
H-BOOT 1.33.013d
Radio 2.22.27.08
Everything seems to be fine EXCEPT my GPS isn't working - When I hit my location in maps it says to enable a My Location source in system settings - I have use GPS satellites checked and use wireless networks unchecked - if i check use wireless networks it will get me my location but doesnt solve the problem why GPS isn't working. Also when I use facebook and try to check-in with places, facebook crashes (I'm assuming its trying to use GPS and for some reason it can't).
I was having the facebook crashing problem prior to this and didnt notice if GPS was working or not prior to this so I'm wondering if something got messed up during the rooting of the phone or is my GPS somehow not enabled? I don't even get a satellite icon in maps or facebook. Any help ?
anyone ?????
try reflashing
Same problem here with Laszlo's Froyo, seems that switching on/off GPS in settings doesn't do anything. Normally I got a blue color on the LED, nothing happens there either.
Very fast MOD, but I definately want to get GPS working!
Rich
Try different ROM. See if you get the same problem.
Right, got it working. Don't know what did the trick, changed radio to v2.22.28.25 (from 2.22.27.08) and installed "GPS-test-plus" (gps-test-plus-version-1-1-3 from androidxmarket) after I started the gps-test program my location changed to the right one in my case from Holland to Sudan (!)
Maybe this could be helpful to anyone.
Glad everything works out.
