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)

Hi all,
I tried searching the forums for this particular weirdness but could find it.
I recieved my HD2 last week and had the crackling ear piece problem, with no help from T-Mobile i decided to flash the device with the latest HTC Rom it corrected the problem and everything is working fine.
There is one little thing i have noticed though which is weird, when booting the phone for the first time when it had the TMO rom it gave me a pre-setup application or firstboot application whatever you want to call it.
With the new HTC rom it doesnt give me this when i hard reset is this normal?
Thing is when i turn off the phone for a brief moment it shows the same setup application as running in the background?
switch teh phone into airplane mode and you should find the background app comes to teh front and you can complete it.
wouldn't a task manager allow you to switch to it?

Seems to be, yes. It's been reported several times by people going up to the HTC 1.66 roms.
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?

Hi everyone!
Do you got HTCsense.com working for you? well, i dont ...and ive tried all kinds off stuffs. howcome?
Ive oppened an account on HTCsense.com, and done the same through my phone.. registered my name, mail, number and so on which is required.
well, after all that done, i logg in to check if it works. My name is there, and number and so on...but when i try to call though the site...doesent work. says it cant connect.
And on the left side, where a map is supposed to be...its empty, and says i have to go to settings>locations>phone finder (or something in swedish) - which is allready checked in.
i can block my phone through the site...set a pin-code to unlock and so on - but nothing happens on my phone... its still unlocked!
So basicly:
Nothing works
- not to call
- not to find my phone
-not to block it
How do i do? i really need this funktion to work! ive tried DHD on SD, now on NAND...nut still the same...
if you got it working, please help!
Best regards

Im having same issue with the DL.DesireZ.v3.1.beta, Its a problem with the builds or roms not communicating properly with HTC.
[edit] Just re-checked and its now working fine except the HTCHub just keep getting error. Everything else now works fine though.
PS. Yu do know that you need a data connection or wifi for it to be able to communicate with phone dont you?
i dont have any data-contract with my operator ...but still, when i use wifi, still got no connection. this message appears in red:
"RingUnable to connect to your phone to make it ring."
dont know why..
well after looking around, i found this 3rd part app called Phone Locator Pro (also av. in Free) i Android Market...
if your phone gets stolen or something...you can track it with gps. got some nice extras like if they change the SIM, you get their number, locations, IMEI and so on...
I will use this until someone helps me to get HTCsense.com working properly...
Don't wait to get help. HTC sense is not working properly.
Sometimes I can download, sometimes it gives me an error...
With every build...

I have the same issues running a NAND DHD. HTC hub for instance will say error can't connect, yet I'll get notifications saying new apps/widgets are available that'll download install but won't open, HTCsense.com like you say hasn't given Mr much luck either, I think the atheist is right in what he outlines
well ok, too bad..
i finally got the site to call my phone.. that finally works...
but still it doesent show on the map where the phone is located...
GPS is on, wifi too...that should do the job, but no...
guess i have to stick with what ive got...
hi
Just when u think its the perfect phone.....
well it aint...dell streak has pissed me off big time...i cant answer calls cuz the lockscreen jamms up when i get a call...and it stays that way untill i take the battery out and put it in again n restart the phone...also sometimes it does that when i just wanna go to the homescreen...
after reading alot about it, i tried installing incall plus beta from the market and also no lock....but it helps sometimes....so its not a fix .....please help me...if recalibrating the screen helps...tell me how to do it...i think its a software issue...some developer mate,,,look into it....
cheers

i had those probs when i used not standard dpi.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
what does that mean..? how did u change the dpi anyways?
Lets get some information from you....
Please go to settings and about phone.
Let us know what Baseband you are on and your OEM version.
Lets start there... I had issues with lock screen on stock 315 unlocked... Went to 318 and had zero issues...
recalibrating the screen worked wonders for me! its in one of the threads just search for it good luck
After endless searching for the gps solution i've found a solution.
I've tested it and can confirm it works.
All credits go to the developer of faster fix (Bernard Bekker)
So here are the steps:
1. Download the CM7 rom ( I'm currently running the built #15 nightly)
link:http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=ace
2. After installing the rom and gapps set it up as you normally would.
3. Download Fast Reboot from the market (and install it).
4. After installing the Fast Reboot, download Faster Fix from the market (and install it).
5. Now turn off the gps (not in the notification bar, but in settings).
menu/settings/location
6. Run Fast Reboot
7. Run Faster Fix, and select your country and hit Go
A pop up should say: for example "Done set to:nl.pool.ntp.org" as I live in the Netherlands.
8. Turn on your GPS and reboot.
Now when you use the Google Navigation you should have a fast and steady fix for your GPS.
This won't work if you turn off GPS and on again.
In this case you have to reboot your phone!!! Remember to turn on the GPS bevore you reboot your phone!
It is not nessesery to repeat steps 1 to 7, just 8.
Just tried this and got instant GPS lock when I walked outside of my office. THanks for posting this.
Seems to work. Thanks for the information.

Maybe I am doing something wrong but I just followed these instructions and when I rebooted the phone froze on the splash screen. Had to recover and flash my nand. Have you heard of this problem?
No, i never had this problem, mostly if you make a lot of changes, reboot in to recovery and flash a .zip and than reboot, you might end up with a bootloop in the splash screen.

Just to inform you guys, if you are using a gel case on your Desire HD, it's going to have a noticeable impact on the GPS lock time, from two minutes down to only several seconds.
I have confirmed this with my Case-Mate Gelli, and there is also a video by someone else on YouTube showing this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUyhxm2NtDU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Faster Fix will still help with the lock time in both cases, so thanks to the original poster.
Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I have an HTC Desire CDMA from USCC with CM7 RC4 running.
?permanent fix
It worked but is it a permanent fix or every time you want to you GPS do u have to turn it on then reboot to get it working again? Thanks
Evo4g / Sprint, worked pefect (saved me from a lot of reflashing)!
Tnx
I still find the GPS to be very poor on my DHD. updated the radio, applied this fix and it still takes a long time to lock, even when outside. Its almost as if agps isn't working at all.
Just a thing to test
Menu>settings>applications>development
Make sure "Allow mock locations" isn't checked
I suffered with terrible GPS reception for weeks until I noticed this was checked. Now I get on average 3-7 yards accuracy, fixing in about 3 seconds
Also didnt work for me. Have flashed a few different Radios and ROM's, does anyone know a highly recommended Radio for CM7 and gps? (preferably on UK Orange if that matters / makes a difference to gps).

have you updated the RIL that applys to your radio?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040986
also have you installed gps status from the market?
go into tools and reset the data
both those worked for me
Worked well for me! Got an instant lock in my house after doing it. Used to take about 2 minutes outside. Cheers
Hello!
What is in the gapps file and how do you install them?
Is it possible to use them with another rom or is they locket to CM7HD?
For the moment I am on RCmixHD.

So we can use RIL on CM7?? Wasn't there some problems??

This thread clearly says in the OP "not for CM." I don't know anything about RIL so maybe it will work, I just don't want to see someone have issues.
