Hi,
The GPS on my 32A magic seems to stop working.
I am unable to determine my location with any apps recently.
I have tried factory reset and it remains the same.
Any clues of why this might happen?
Bad weather?

I've encountered a problem with 2 seperate TouchHD's...I use Google Mobile Maps and all works fine. Then a few days later the GPS (internal) no longer responds.
I've soft reset, tried the HTC GPS tool, etc. Nothing...GPS dead. If I hard reset it comes alive again...
I tried flashing to the .25.25 Radio ROM but the problem remains. Does anyone have a solution? Hard resetting every few days is getting tiresome.
where do you try?
mine never work indoors only outside and in my car
It's not a problem of no satellites - the problem is that the software can't communicate with the GPS chip.
Even the HTC GPS Tool can't open the GPS port...no response. I tried TomTOm and it says "No GPS device". Lots of soft resets etc, no difference.
After a hard reset, all software can see the GPS again
Very strange
luckely i don't have such problems, I hope somebody can help you with your problem
I have had similar issues with other devices, unfortunately the GPS Chipset in HD is known to be a little buggy, also the Touch HD is still quite new and more stable firmware and drivers are bound to help,
Try a port splitting app like GPS Gate etc even just to check the GPS itself.
It could also be conflicting third party apps/tweaks especially seeing it comes back to life after HR. Check power saving mode, this can disable GPS as the battery get low same as the Phone Module. I have to say my HD GPS has been perfect with Tomtom no issue at all so its not out of the question that your device is faulty.
I had some issues like that because of a somewhat defect microSD
changed it and that fixed it
I had the same problem, then did a hard reset and com port 4 works again.
Easier solution is to disable and then reenable the Comm Manager options you have turned on. I noticed if Blue Tooth is on then it can cause an issue. I no longer have the problem since I turned off bluetooth by default, which is also a good safety tip!
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. It's not always, but after some days (2, 3 weeks) the GPS becomes dead. If I hard reset the GPS comes alive again.
Could it be a hardware problem on my device? I still suspect that is some application I install. Does anyone has a clue or a pattern on the applications installation and GPS stop working?
The last applications I installed and GPS stopped working was WM6VoIP and the Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3. Still trying to figure it out.
I have ROM 1.14.410.0 (24011) PTG
Radio: 1.09.25.14
Regards
I had the same problem when I installed second today.
Hard reset and problem gone but thats not the solution I think ...
to be sure there is no hw fault, maybe you can use your hd for a while with no extra software installed, except fixes and navigation software
if the problem still occur, then go to the htc service with it.
if not, you will have to have a lot of patience to find out wich application or setting cause the problem, but, at least, you'll know is not the device
Yes, I must do that. I already hard reset three times. For every app installed I always check GPS signal. It hasn't been critical but I'm afraid it may be hw fault. Let's hope not.
When I have some time I'll try WM6VoIP and the Advanced Configuration Tool again. I'll report to you later.
Thanks
Just in case someone has the same problem...
I finally found the cause of my GPS death. After installing WM6VoIP.cab the GPS is no longer recognized by any GPS software.
Regards
Hope someone can help,
My internal GPS has never worked on my blackstone and I want to get it fixed. I have searched here and google and tried all suggestions to no avail.
Google maps, GPSed or HTC GPS tool never find any satellites. They seem to find the GPS device ok but not any satellites. I have tried "clear memory" and "cold start through" HTC GPS tool and it just scrolls though some weird looking commands and never picks anything up. I have left it 20 mins and still nothing.
I have tried soft reset, hard reset, disabling A-GPS, updating QuickGPS thousands of time and disabling windows auto management but nothing seems to work and its driving me crazy.
Im nearly convinced that it must be a hardware issue, is there anything else I can try before I contact HTC.
I have used latest HTC stock ROM but im currently on Duttys brand new WM6.5_Sense_2.1_Holy_Grail_R0.
Cheers
I have to ask but you are outside when you're trying to get a signal aren't you?
If so then I would probably agree that it's hardware. When I first got my HD it got a lock in about 2-3 minutes while outside.
Yep, I can confirm that I was outside at all times. Its so strange. Would people suggest I flash it back to a stock ROM and phone HTC??
What can I expect from HTC's customer service?
Thanks

If your going to return it under warranty it would be advisable to return it to stock rom unless you want to void warranty
HTC should replace device for you or fix device you've got and return it

Don't know if you want to give GPSToggle a shot. It is a Today screen app that turns on the GPS chip for you and displays its progress with green bars when it locks onto satellites. Four green bars mean 3D satnav is capable.
You can find GPSToggle as ARM download in this post:

i have amon RA's recovery
i flashed the update yesterday, together with radio image.
finally i superrooted
and now my GPS doesnt work
i open Maps and cant determine location
Sygic doesnt work too
i checked for any settings affecting this, but i found nothing
anyone else experiencing this?
solutions?
thanx
Mine just took a long time to do it's first fix, you're probably experiencing the same - the update likely resets the ephemeris data.
P
oh nice man
any idea how long this takes?
16 hours now and counting
With a clear view of the sky? Is your clock correct on the device?
P
yea man i even set the time to 'automatic'
Are you using the 'power widget' to start gps? If you are, remove the widget and re-add it and then try again.

I experienced this after flashing the new radio also. I downloaded gps status from the market and I was seeing at most one or two satellites for hours. For me a complete power down and battery pull seemed to fix it.
I cant get my GPS to fix. I used HTCGPSTool and it came up with
failed to send nmea command
my GPS is set to COM4, all the usual settings...
Anyone know what this means?
After upgrading the ROM to 3.14 I am also getting issues with GPS.
The GPS gets hang after using for just 5-10 mins. The HD2 restarts and then doesn't work.
This happens even I am using Google Maps or other navigation software.
Sometimes HD2 doesn't found any GPS satelites also. Even I restart, no GPS gets found.
All settings are default and I haven't done any changes to the phone GPS settings.
Does anyone have solution for this problem?
Thx
Hi every one
I've got the same problem updated to 3.14 and Hd2 heats up a lot i know that from battclock software which monitors temperature and cpu% and device it self on lower part is getting very hot after that happen Hd2 restarts on and on.....
I've found that if battery is above 30 celsuis internal gps stop working and the only way to get it back is lover the temperature which is hard when you're driving
I've also got an bluetooth gps and works perfect no problems with this device maybe there is a problem with rom what do you think???
BTW I'm just downgrading Rom will post info is there any difference
Hey guys im having a problem with my gps. i downloaded gps test. I could see the satellites but my phone doesnt want to fix on anyone. its really annoying. ive cleared the agps and updated it. reset my phone. changed location to high accuracy but still
Try GPS STATUS

Sent from my HTC One M9PLUS using Tapatalk
ive tried that too :S
Ive solved it. i calibrated the G-sensor calibration again
Doesn't work for me
uncheck and check e compass calibration
I have this problem on an unlocked Sprint HTC One M9. GPS Test shows nothing :/ but it says GPS is on.
When I use google maps "device only" it won't fix at all, navigation it's impossible, even in "high accuracy" mode with mobile data.
What are the main causes for this kind of problems? Could be hardware related?
Right now I'm using it with a GSM carrier "TELCEL".
I don't know what to do, I rely on Google Maps navigation

Already did that, doesn't work for me, the only temporary fix is reboot the phone, but is only temporary.
