GPS problem ROM 1.56 - Touch HD General

I hope someone can help me in this issue, I've been looking for a solution and searching the threads for 3 days.
My problem is the GPS is not working even in the official 1.56 ROM, I was previously using Dutty 3.3 ROM.
I've recently bought the HD and I downloaded Dutty 3.3 ROM immediately without even trying the GPS so I don't know if it was working before or not. Then I reverted back to the official 1.56.
I tried "GPS test", "Google maps", "IGO8" and "HTC GPS tool" all of them can find the GPS reciever unit but no one of them can find any statellite
Radios:
in Dutty's ROM radio 1.14.25.24
in the current official ROM 1.13.25.24
And I'm using HSPL 1.56.OliNex
Any help will be very much apperciated

- update quick gps data
- go somewhere that u can see sky clearly
- run GPS program
- first time that u use GPS may take a longer time to find statellites
i use Dutty 3.3 ROM too only first time that GPS program may use a very long time to find statellite

Hello polppol,
Thanks for your reply, but I already tried that, I waited like more than 15 mins in an open area but with no joy..

have u try to re flash radio rom?
maybe try the old one that work for you

the worst thing is that I never tried the GPS before upgrading to the 1.56 ROMs
I'm thinking of downgrading to 1.14 ROMs, however I didn't see anyone else experiencing the same issue so I don't know what's wrong in my device..

maybe you have to with official ROM that came with ur device and try you GPS if it still not work so maybe you have something wrong in ur device
good luck
I have to go now

hi, i also use dutty's 3.3 ROM, i had to wait almost 30 minutes before it detected a first few satellites, after that it went well. Also, please note that it didn't go all smooth for me from first try to get a lock. I tried to do that like 5 times, and at the end it worked. So, be patient, try for 30 minutes, if it doesn't work, try again for next 30 minutes... repeat so a few times. If that won't work, install some other ROM (or ROM version). Just BEFORE testing, MAKE SURE your GPS is detected by your phone and working properly. After that, start to get a lock with your preferred GPS software gl

Problem reconnecting to GPRS

Hello. I have have a t-mobile mda with TNT4.0 Rom. I have set up t-mobile data connection as well as the proxy and internet works fine. However, if go into a no-reception area(subway, tunnel, etc) the data/voice obviously disconnects. When I'm in the clear again the voice bars show up but where I typically see E (EDGE) I see an "x" as if there is no data connection available. If I soft reset the data connection is there. Until I soft reset, there seems nothing I can do to fix the data connection. I go to connection settings, tap on the modem and click "connect" but nothing happens.
When I click "sync" in ActiveSync, it starts to sync and then stops after a few seconds and says "waiting for network".
Is anyone experiencing the same problem? any way to fix that? WHen I had T-Mobile ROM, I did not have this issue.
Sometimes things like that dissappear if you just flash the same ROM over the top of the one you're using. You don't list what radio rom your using, but it might be that too. You should probably start by flashing a new radio rom, either 2.19 or 2.69 since they seem to work the best with WM6 and then reflash TNT 4.0 if one of the radios doesn't fix it.
i had exactly the same problem (G/E sign visible..internet working but after a while X sign and i had to reset or turn the phone feature off and on to get it working again) when i was using other WM6 roms and it was so annoying that i planned to move back to WM5 but thanks to Orhan (he had the same problem) now its fixed.
for some strange reason, the only solution is to use NBD ROM and your problem will be solved. im using NBD 8.1 (without touch. after the ROM you can choose to install touch or soft reset it after setup to get a vanilla wm6 o/s) and its extremely fast and stable.

I've installed 2.19.11 radio ROM and so far I am not having any GPRS reconnecting problems as I did before. Thanks!
No problem, glad I could help.

*RESOLVED* Problems with GPS, running DCD 2.3.2 on Telus

I just installed DCD 2.3.2, which to my knowledge is one of the more recent ROMs that supports GPS. Everything works perfectly, until I install some sort of mapping software.
I've re-flashed my ROM about 5 times tonight trying things and I've narrowed it down to when I install something like Live Search or Google Maps.
Once I install the software, they run and when they're trying to acquire a signal from the GPS the unit randomly resets. Once it does this once it does not stop doing it. I'll get back to the home screen after the reboot and 30 seconds later it will restart once again. I even managed to uninstall Live Search the second time before it restarted. It completed the uninstall and lasted a whole 2 minutes before the next restart.
Any ideas??
UPDATE: I'm using titan_radio_3.27.00.exe.
I've also Tried using DCD 2.1.0 Telus, and the same issue happens. The machine just reboots after installing Google maps or Live Search.
I would try re-installing the radio.

Forgot to mention that I've also done that a couple times too. Two different versions too.
Thanks though! Keep the ideas coming.
Sorry to hear that
I just upgraded today and haven't had any problems. DCD 2.3.2 and the radio and everything. I've tried google maps, mapopolis and iGuidance all without any problems-in fact the internal gps is faster by far than my old bluetooth one.
I used the kitchen method to make the dcd rom, but didn't really change anything except for putting windows live back in.
I'm in the vancouver area on Evdo, if that info is helpful.
Are you using the correct bootloader?

3G and GPS perfect! --> After reset:gone with the wind

Ok this is some frustrating ****,
ive been installing roms and radio's all day long
and none seemed ti fix my problem. Now after installing The R8 and thena dutch rom. It worked fully my gps found sattelites from inside my room. My 3G was getting 3 bars. I thougt i made it happen. Then a message appeart, that my phone provider has been found and he starts configuring, after that he asks for a reset. But then BAM after the reset no gps signal.
This happens everytime after a rom installation. First resets seems to **** it up, whass up with this?
don't reset?
maybe try flashing original ROM to rule out problems with hardware?
did you flash the murato radio yet? my dutch polaris was ****ed up after the first radio flash. Murato fixed the issue.
hé it is the murato radio that i installed.
But its not working correctly after reboot.
Damn this is frustrating!
Maybe you could help me getting the original rom with original radio for orbit 2 uk. Don't care if it wm 6. Except for the german one going around cant seem to find the originals.
i think it is "connection setup" cause the problem.
after i flash 1.68radio and apllied"china connection setup",signal is not good
sorry for my poor english
hmm....i flashed yesterday swtos v0.96 and it's really great. i use the new radiorom and everything is better.

My Camera will not work anymore??

everything was fine, no problems with the phone at all, than I installed Duttys 4.1 rom and ever since the camera doesnt work. I got the camera to work once since then by un-ticking the camera tab from the Touch flow, soft resetting, then ticking the tab again but now thats not even working. I have installed 2 diferent roms since then and it still doesnt work. also the photo album doesnt work from that tab anymore but does in the program list where as the camera doesnt work at all.
Any help would be great
Have the same problem myself and have yet to find an answer
I found a guy that used advanced config to change one of the camera settings but I tried it and it didnt work
When you flashed the ROM, did you put the phone into boot loader manually, or did the installation software do it?
the installation software did it

I tried that myself and it worked for a while (a couple days) then the camera stopped working again. That trick has not worked since that first time. I have changed roms a couple of times and still nothing.

Same here. Also I did accidentally install a rom with the wrong spl and had to hard spl after installing the rom. I think I went from 1.14 to 1.56 or something like that. I had a green tint to the screen until I did the hard spl. I have installed many roms since then and have not had a problem. I did not have a camera issue before this but the camera did work for quite a while after the spl issue. Hopefully this makes sense what I am saying.
so you are saying your camera was fixed after you "re- hard SPL'd" your phone?

No, I have an unlocked telstra phone and I had flashed my rom a couple times without needing to hard SPL my phone and never had a problem with flashing roms or the camera. It was only after I flashed to a rom that needed the phone to be Hard SPL'd and I didn't properly Hard SPL my phone before flashing the rom. I got the wierd "green tint" to my screen and realized that i had incorrectly Hard SPL'd. I quickly realized my mistake and then did it correctly and then the newer rom worked fine. It was a couple weeks later that the camera stopped working. I can't remember if I was on the same rom or not from when I Hard SpL'd my phone.
Sorry if this is hard to follow.
My thought is, did my upgrade without properly Hard SPL'ing my phone damage the camera or is it something else. Again, I have since properly Hard SPL'd my phone and flashed many roms since without a problem except the non-working camera.
well I don't know but I hard SPL'd my phone the day I got it with the 1.56 HSPL and I have used may roms on this phone. The rom I installed when this happended was duttys WM6.1 rom

I was trying to revert to an older Hard SPL 1.14 and install an older rom to see if that did the trick. Anyway, in my haste I screwed up and installed the older Hard SPL 1.14 and forgot to add in the older Rom so I ended up with the green screen of death. I couldn't get it to connect via activesync and put it in bootloader mode and re-Hard SPL'd it to 1.56 and the green screen was gone. I was about to go back to the Hard SPL 1.14 with one of Duty's older pre 1.56 Roms but thought I would check on the camera again one last time.
Now the camera works. Again, this is not the first time I have gotten the camera to work and I have no idea how long it is going to last but it is working and I am not going to mess with it anymore right now. I will leave the Hard SPL 1.56 and Miri's WM6.5 Rom that I have on the phone alone and see how it goes.
I know this is not a complete answer and I don't know if just re-Hard SPL'ng will work but it is worth a shot. Again, I downgraded first 1.14, screwed up the phone the went back to 1.56 and the camera started working again. At least I know that it is probably not a hardware issue as I have no where to send it back to for repair. All is well in Wisconsin for the time being.
Well two things:
1st can you just tell me exactly what you did, step by step. If I understand you correctly, I have already tried this but there may be a step or 2 that I missed. please include the roms you went from and two also
2nd, just called HTC and they said my the #'s my phone still has some warranty left and they will honor it in the states (I will reflash to tesla rom and the stock SPL before I send it)
Thank you for keeping me up to date on what you have done to get yours working. If your camera fails again, just call the # on the US HTC customer service site.

hello there ,
1.14 radio is the problem ,
try to flash new one which is 1.16 in same form
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529031
or try to get into 6.1 and then Hard Rest with out Upgrade to dutty ,
seems problem in driver...
best regards
I havent had 1.14 on my phone since the day after I got it...
I am not very good at step by step instructions but you have obviously done a lot of flashing already, I will keep it short. Again, this started out as a botched attempt to downgrade my Rom to an older WM 6.1 Rom using the old 1.14 Hard SPL. You might not want to do this as it will temporarily screw up your phone. If you do, here are the steps I took. Really not too involved. Please read all steps first.
1. I synced my phone and downloaded the older 1.14 Hard SPL and flashed it.
link
2. That screwed up my phone "Aweful Greenscreen effect" and was not able use activesync anymore for flashing. I then put the phone into bootloader mode by powering off the phone. Hold in top power button until it asks if you want to power down. Yes. Then when you power up hold the volume down key and the power button at the same time. Make sure your USB cable it still plugged in. Your phone should now be in bootloader mode.
3. I downloaded the most current Hard SPL 1.56 and ran the HSPL Wrapper Blackstone 156OliNex
4. After that the Green Screen problem was gone and when I checked my camera it worked. I took a couple of photos and no problem. I opened it first with the WM Camera Program button then with the Manilla tab. When I used the Manilla tab it had to map the camera/videocamera button as we as find the photo album. After that it has showed up in Manilla normally every time I go back to it. Again, we will see how long this takes.
Thanks for the info on possibly being able to return the device for warranty reasons to HTC.
Hopefully this helps and my links work.
if you don't mind me asking, what dutty rom did you install because this all started for me when I insalled duttys 4.1 WM6.1 rom
Update
When I said I took the phone all the way back to stock, it wasnt 100% true. I loaded a stock HTC rom not a telstra rom.
with that being said, today I got the RMA # from HTC to have the phone repaired so I downloaded the newest updated Telstra Rom and loaded it onto the phone.By the way, My phone did not have the newest Telstra rom on it ever! When the phone was done, I started to prepair to load the newest stock SPL to go along with the rom when I notice the camera works..... What the hell?!?! I try loading a custom rom on it (miris 6.5 rom), camera still works! Hard reset the phone, camera still works. I don't know what this means but my phone is back on line with all features!
Thanks for everyones help and input
Keep your eye on it. It is almost like it slowly looses the connection to the camera and then has a hard time remaking the connection once it is lost. Then you have to do something drastic to get it back. I wouldn't mind so much if it only happened every three or four months but so far I have not been able to keep the camera going past two weeks without loosing it again. Keep me posted if yours goes out again.
Well that didn't take long. Camera is dead again. Going back to WM 6.1 and SPL 1.14 to see if that makes a difference. "unable to initialize" then camera and album disappears from TF3D.
What I ended up doing ( and I did it more then once cuz I tried to load a wm6.5 rom on it) was as fallows
starting with many different wm 6.5 roms, radio: 1.13.25.24 and HSPL 1.56
step 1: I flashed the newest telstra rom (Telstra_WWE_1.59.841.6_Radio_52.64.25.34_1.14.25.24)+
step 2: hard reset
step 3: flashed this custom 6.1 rom (gave up on trying to find a 6.5 rom that worked), L26 ultimate V3.55
step 4: hard reset
step 5: synced to my PC
step 6: loaded all my cabs (soft resetting after every 2 or 3)
Now Miris 6.5 V26 came close to working but when I would sync via PC or Microsoft My Phone it the camera bug would come back.
I am at about 18 hours without the bug. I have soft reset, changed the battery, synced the phone to my PC, called, received calls and text so far...
