htc touch gps / sprint question/columbus ohio - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Just wondering if anybody else is havin issues with gps..
It works when it truly once too..
I have rom version 3.03.651.2
Radio version 3.42.30
is there a program that you can confirm your gps is on.. I have shut the phone off through comm manager ect an turn it back on ect.... an still it not taking .. I have done a hard reset aswell.. It work good for one day then BOOm nada , nothing.. I am in reynoldsburg/columbus ohio 43068 just wondering any of my fellow local peesr dealing with the same issue..

..... Spell check.....
Anyway. No there isn't a massive issue going around where the touch has issues with the gps. You need to make sure your radio and rom are up to date. Then there are tools like this
THIS ONE
That allow you to view gps from your today screen.
P.S. Mods please move this thread. The subject has nothing to do with development or hacking. >_<

run.gps (help me get it running please)

hi all i use run.gps on my old omnia and i want it on my new htc hd2 but the app wont pick up the gps info correctly, it gets a great signal and then just wont tract my speed/distance ect
any help here would be great
I'd like to see this resolved too, since I was really keen to try this software out.
do u have same issue matey, i dont mind using other apps but i really need voice guide like speed and distance, and i think this is the only app which does this?
I was going to install today, then I saw your post, so I haven't actually tried it just yet. When I have time later I will give it a shot.

that would be great so i can see if its just my device or not
i think imay i have solved the problem, when i1st ran the app i used the htc hd2 lock to lock the phone and it seems doing this stops the gps from working, if u use the run.gps locking it works fine,
p.s. in menu setting check that all the buttons are locked when screen is so u dont press anything when running lol
HI MATE i can confirm it works now, u need to lock the screen with the app and let it goin to the lock wm lock screen automaticly, if u press the end key to enable the lock screen ur self the gps doesnt work correct, heres a run to show it works
my run today (i do two runs with 3min rest between for a drink)

GPS doesn't work anymore, please help me!

hi everybody,
i have some problem with my magic's GPS;
after trying different rom, i came back on cursorsense in order to overclock the cpu with the latest kernel avaible from this forum...
everything seems to be ok but, a few day after, when i needed use copilot 8, gps doesn't work anymore:
no satellites are avaible, no signal (from copilot setup and from other apps like gps status or gps test).
i tried to restore some nandroid backup (with different rom, myhero, smoky cursorsense) but always copilot installs upgrade and gps is still not working...
also from google maps gps location doesn't work.
please help me,
gps is broken???
Ps sorry for my very poor english
thanks a lot
Flash the radio again and possibly with gps on (don't know why this counts, but they say it does). Talking about "with gps on", did you try to reboot with it being turned on ? Oh and btw this is not for dev section and it will probably moved soon...just to point out
yes i've already reboot with gps active but no effect...
but flashing the radio agai i need to wipe (or not?) how i can take gps turned on?
anyway i will try tomorrow morning...
thanks i will reply you.
ps sorry i visit often this forum but it was my first thread and i didn't klnow where to post it...
thanks!
hi, i've tried to flash again the radio today...
everything is ok... thank you a lot for the help or
if you prefere, hvala!
Thanks, goodbye
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
sorry... thanks for putting in order... Bye
Well the subject of this thread IS dev-related, since it's an issue that affects many users of multiple roms, nobody knows what causes it or how to fix it, and is definitely not created by the user's ignorance or inability to read and follow instructions.
OTOH there already is a thread discussing it and it has produced little or no new insight. In short, it sometimes helps to reflash your radio (same version you're currently using), but depending on rom and carrier that fix may be short lived. You're also more likely to have a working GPS on a sense UI rom, but those have their own disadvantages. Users of some carriers rarely or never report GPS issues, while on other carriers these recur often.

Walking dead.... I can't be the only one

Ok I'm using newest energy cht rom radio 2.12.50 and shubcraft froyo android build with 384 zimage....
Heres the problem that I have had all week my phone works fine when I am stationary minimal screen freezes great speed but when I get up and walk with my phone and try to use it the screen freezes almost every time then the entire phone freezes. I have also noticed this on elevator and when I step out of my car.. this is weird and I know it can't be just me as its been going on for a week now.
So to sum it up stationary best phone ever...walking phone dead and I wanna slam it on the ground.

try the desire v5's zimage, no freeze at all
Im having same issues,with all the version i have tried, including V5 aparently this screen freezing is a known issue and makes the use of Android in our HD2 very very frustrating.
ive upgraded my SD to a class 6 and still suffering from it
Im wondering if there is a program that causes it or its just the OS...
in any case We have to be patient ,im sure pretty soon the amazing developers will come with a solution.
might be a screen rotation issue
Just came back from street, again same issue.
I thought it may be the network connection that was affecting the phone, so i switched to Airplane mode and turn off automatic updates,still this didnt help...
so im beginning to think this is related to yes,either the screen rotation (maybe as we walk it does affect the sensor )or gps..

I've just learned to deal. Its better than SoD's or being in Winmo and having to pull the battery out.
I actually noticed it today as I went from a dark room to a very well lit room so Im with u guys it seems its either rotation issue or light sensor issue andvi have no doubt in my mind the devs will have it fixed in no time just didn't see it mentioned anywhere else so figured it was worth a mention. Thanks all I'm so glad I'm not alone on this one.

when in windows mobile make sure to disable all battery and back light settings and in android change blacklight settings and sleep setting to stay on
I am having the same issue - using ChuckyDroidROM + shubCRAFT CM6RC2, basically when I start moving or even moving the phone the touch screen becomes very unresponsive and sometimes even the hardware buttons don't function properly. At first I thought it was just my device until I saw this post...
Think its a bug with manusfreedoms 384mb ram enabled Zimage dident get this problem using past images.
sure it will be sorted next image release.
I thought i was alone in this case too !
We are not a lot with that screen touch lag, so maybe we did something wrong. Here is what i found so far :
-Changing build don't rix the problem
-tried another radio, another rom...nothing.
I tested 27/07 03/08 cotulla zimage, now manufeeedom 382mo zimage-nopc, the problem is still here.
changed from a class 2 to a class 4 and seems to be worse. (!)
You are right, it seems to be worse when i am moving from one room to another so maybe it is gsensor related.
Right now it is hard for me to type that text,
Don't know what to do... buy a class 10 sdcard ?
I just got my HD2 today and got android set up. I'm noticing the same thing as everyone else with the unresponsive touchscreen. It happens every time I tilt the phone to try to change the screen rotation. Usually hitting the hardware button allows it to respond once again, but it happens quite often.
hey hey hey first and formost i see u guys all hav the same issuse what i dont see is ur device info along with the rom, radio, android verison, and the location ur android is stored ... i have the lates verison of droid v5 also energy with cookie full and my radio is 2.8 i believe android is on the sd card and running smooth ... now that the intro is out of the way hav u guys read what was needed , reason askin i found the thread where the question and answer is... and yes u guys are the only ones... now please do a search go up to the first thread of android on hd2, and good day to u all
Wingtytn, can you be more precise in your answer ? I am a quite long user in Xda, always try to help when i know and i never ask a question wich have been answered somewhere. I don't think i have the noob profile you seems to write. If you think about formatting sdcard, of course i did. I have a 2.08 radio, latest shubcraft build with manufreedom 382mo zimage. My rom was changed to a light android dedicated one, the latest chuckydroid rom. Just don't know what else to do and waste a lot of time trying to fix that from myself.

The TS issue is kernel related, that's why using an older kernel say the no speedy one should fix it. This is also the reason why this issue is being seen over multiple builds.

Thanks a lot shu8i, i will try an older zimage than the 27/07's cotulla.
Edit : Mmh exact same problem with the 23/07 zimage Cotulla_zImage_CABDET_NOSPEEDDY. That is weird.
I will order a clas 10 sdcard and see what happen...
Try the game ”Runners”. It uses both the camera and the g-sensor and freezes mad anytime, anywhere. Huge affirmation to the idea it's a bug of the g-sensor's or otherwize the screen's drivers.
DuperMan
Me too with screen freezes, i had tried all builds and same result. I think this is a problem with SD access because i noticed more freezes as more apps opened in backgroud.
Try to calibrate the g sensor
Found something ...
try disabling auto-rotation feature (settings -> display)
It works perfectly for me now.
Can you confirm that works for you too?
Did you dind a way to calibrate g-sensor on froyo?
Why the auto-rotation feature hangs so much for us?

[Q] g sensor android nand

hi, ive used android on my hd2 pretty much since day one,
ive never been able to get the g-sensor to work in android. i dont get freezes or anything at all it just simply doesnt work, ive tried all sorts i was hoping nand would fix it for me but it doesnt can anyone be kind enough to offer me any solutions?
it works fine in windows mobile so its definatly related to android
ive tried loads of builds and most kernals still nothing, ive tried scripts to disable and re enable and nothing im totally mythed :/
Sorry for bump

Are you still using SD?, if so try calibrating with it upside down, screen facing down.
I'm running NAND, when I go to caliberate the bubbles don't move at all, until I press caliberate then the just move left and right and it says complete.

Hi, I allready posted this problem a while ago. I hoped this was a problem with windows mobile occupying the G-sensor, while running android from SD. I was happy to see that we finally could boot to android and skip WM, but still no G-sensor in android. Is there someone who knows the commands (in Gscript) for starting the G-sensor? I allready tried renaming the akmd file but this is only a solution for someone who has a working G-sensor and wants it disabled temporarily.
Please help a handfull of us G-sensorless android users.
Thanks.
oddly I got it to calibrate with the phone on its side, facing sideways. IT rotated ok afterwards but then got stuck. Best thing to do here is not to calibrate at all as it seems to work fine without any calibration - too late once you have done it though?

I can't find the script but all it does is renames the akmd file to stop and start. Your the only person I've found with the same problem we need to figure this out man

There's 2 more topics on this for a while now, but there's no luck on a solution. The biggest problem we all have is likely the fact that anyone reading a G-sensor thread is having the same problems. The one with the solution isnt looking for our threads.
solution - working for me
it works properly without any calibration, but if you already did it, here is the solution:
calibrate it with upside down - screen facing down, it will resolve your problem

Did it already, it seems there maintains a hardware differences in every HD2, some of can work properly, some of like us can not. Hope that the dev. who also has this problems can work this out.

but it still does not working!!!!

It looks like so, but it works in WM, so it may be HARDWARE DIFFERENCE let the drivers cause issues? I must talk about, I have never calibrated g-sensor after flashing NAND ROM.

[Q] Cyanogen 11, M8, GPS down

Hi everyone,
Sorry to bother with that, but i have an issue with my Galaxy Note 3 LTE, Cyanogen 11 M8.
Fresh install, everything wiped.
It seems that the GPS is fully down... GPS Status is unable to see or lock anything, Navigation freeze etc....
Maps is able to find my position, but only with network enabled.... if i disabled it... it is lost
In GPS Status, app stay "looking for GPS localization", and when a start an app that need the gps, the Gps Status appears a few second, with an "X".
I neved had this kind of issue, and i didn't find any clues over Internet (but i've seen people with the same issue)
I'm almost sure it was working in M7... i didn't use the gps since i upgrade the phone.
So, has anyone an idea about my problem ?
Many thanks
I had the same issue with the same configuration...
For me, it had to do with the 3G phone tower which appears not to be updated to certain parameters...
This happened when I was in a tiny village of the South West of the UK...
I then try the GPS in other cities, 50 miles away, and everything went back to normal...
I live in London, and travel abroad monthly; and no issues there also...
I would suggest to try your GPS in an other area...

Thanks,
I also live in a small city in France, i hope your solution will also work for me !
I will try tomorrow, in a "bigger city"
Unfortunately... i took my car and drive to be closer of a big city... no success.
It seams that the GPS is down... 'cause i launch some apps that give the signal received by the phone... and it appears that received absolutly nothing. (0, nada, the void)
I've tried to revert to M7 : no GPS at all.
Tried some gps.conf found on the forum : nothing.
It start to scare me, i hope the GPS is not "broken" (could i have killed the GPS antenna ?)
Anyway, i'm still looking for any clues or a way to check the GPS log.
Thanks

GPS connect has NOTHING to do with the SIZE of the city the only factor SHOULD be view of clear SKY.
I was going to say that GPS only works when you're outdoors. Trying to get a signal wont work when in your home etc
For info :
My GPS problem seems to be related to Android 4.4.4.
There's many people complaining that the GPS became innacurate or simply unavailable with this version.
And, it seems that the Cyanogen team has issues making the GPS work for Cyanogen 11 M9 (it's on the wiki).
Currently, there's no fix available. (for some people, rewrinting all APN worked, even if it's not related to GPS, etc etc etc... there's many solution available, but not working for everyone.)
Same issue here, prognosis for it should be posted here, Thx.
Hi Everyone,
If there's people following this thread, i'm still looking for a solution...
Here's all the thing i've tried, without success :
- Reinstall / change Modem
- Back to stock rom (GPS still not working)
- Format /system and reinstall
- Re-Partition
- NV Rebuild
Each time, it's the same thing : i start GPS Status, and i get the icon with the cross, and nothing happen.

Sometimes with Odin, sometimes with Clockwork... don't remember exactly
Each time, i was never able to get a GPS signal.
If you ODIN'd back to stock and GPS is still down on stock ROM, then you probably have a hardware issue. There is a GPS fix thread on the forum with pics of the hardware breakdown.
Hi everyone,
I can't explain what happened... but my GPS is back. hallelujah !
I saw this morning that the Cyanogen 11 M10 for the hlte (Galaxy Note 3) was available.
I update the Cyanogen i had installed (M9)... and test GPS right after that... nothing.
And then, i tested it tonight, the satellite dish appeared with the cross... but i was able to "touch" it with my finger : And then the icon dissapeared, and the new icon with the sattelite dish and the wave appeared and i saw GPS Signal !
I got a lock after a few sec.
Sorry guys, i don't have any answer about what happened, and how tthe GPS got back to work.
But anyway, thanks for the help !
