Problem with my HTC Touch GSM connection

I need help desperately as my HTC touch unlocked phone (originally from Rogers) sometimes works (on Fido network) but most of the times it gives me the error that its Searching for the Signal and then turn the phone off and repeat the same process.
My Rom version is kwbr rom v4.5.3 wwe and Radio version is 03.39.90

I just started having the same problem today. I'm on Fido with a Rogers Touch (Elfin 128/256 MB version), with Onyx ultimate 4.5 from 5/14/09. Until today it worked great, always had the network and made/received calls every time. However today at work I noticed it was stuck on finding network, and wouldn't connect. Since then I've had it connect to the network sometimes, and about half my calls have been getting through, the other half had a few seconds of silence, no connection, followed by three beeps back on the dialer screen. I tried updating the radio, that didn't help, still the same issue. It's not the sim card, as it works 100% in my backup phone.
Anyone know what's causing this and if there's a way to fix it? I could try reflashing the rom, but I'd rather not lose all my installed programs and stuff.

Wellcome to the club. I couldnt find any solution yet

I've tried reflashing the Onyx rom, as well as the Onyx 5 beta, and neither of these helped. The phone network connection is still intermittent, and when it does connect to the network it still takes a few tries before any call will dial out. I'll try completely restoring my original rom backup, but it's looking more and more likely that this is a hardware issue. If it is, how would I go about fixing it? I severely doubt it would be covered under any warranty, since I bought it used, so I'd probably have to do it myself if at all possible. Anyone know of anywhere to get parts for the Elf beyond the normal keypad/case/lcd stuff offered in most of the online parts stores?

Reflashing the original rom didn't do it either, looks like I'll have to contact HTC.

Let me know what solution they gave u.
Is your phone under warrenty?

As I said it's a used phone so it's probably out of warranty, but I'll get in touch with the guy I bought it from and see if Rogers will repair or replace it first, then if they can't or won't do anything for me I may email HTC. I'll bump this thread when/if I have any news.

Flash to 3.21.90 radio?

Judging from the replies, you have a bad device.
HTC Service Centre might be the best place for you.

well the problem is that i didnt purchase it with the HTC or Rogers directly.
Anyways i will contact them again lets see how it goes

You can still bring down to HTC even if you didnt purchase from them.
But it must, of course, be made by HTC.

TomTom 7 now compatible with Touch HD

A UK company are now selling TomTom 7 software that is compatible with Touch HD.
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/539/tomtom-navigator-7-software---map-of-western-europe
I wonder if this will solve the GPS dropout problems that I'm experiencing with my current version 7.915. The problem is that you have to buy a new map to get the latest software, I've already paid for the Europe map, so I looks like I'll have to buy the UK map and not use it to get the latest "compatible" software and knowing my luck it won't fix the dropouts anyway .

GPS Dropout
im using TomTom 7 and Igo8 on my HD and i dont have any GPS dropout, granted when it first aquires the lock it does flash locked/unlocked for about 10 - 15 seconds then thats it, its locked and stays locked, works best on igo8 though locks straight away and stays locked, and if im honest i think i prefer IGO8 even though i have graduated with tomtom 5,6, and now 7, but still nice to have both

Unfortunately, I'm having real trouble.

Mine is driving me around the bend.
Using TomTom 7, it works fine for a time and then the GPS stops working. Exiting and restarting TomTom always brings it back. Time scale is random, it can work for hours before going tits up.
I've tried three different Roms, five different radios, two different versions of TomTom 7, AGPS is disabled, GPS mode set to 1.
It's starting to look like a hardware problem.

I've just disabled Quick GPS and deleted xtra.bin from the windows directory in case it's a corrupt ephemeris problem, I don't hold out too much hope though.

I wish mine was and it's not for want of trying.
My last hope is that it's something to do with me being, currently, in the South of France. The problem got progressively worse as I drove south from UK. Perhaps it's something to do with the phone downloading a UK ephemeris which is no good in Southern Europe. Although it must be said that I did not have this problem with TomTom 6 on my previous two phones, Artemis and TyTnII.

I've had problems with tomtom on cooked roms, but having gone back to the last UK stock rom and tomtom 7.915 i have had no problems at all.

Try to hardreset and reinstall tomtom. it´s running in generell and even with cooked roms (at least the well known wm6.1 roms i have tested)

Thanks, but I've tried hard resets and reinstallation of tomtom to no avail.
Roms I've tried are:
1.14.405.3
1.56.405.1
1.57.831.1
Dutty's 3.2XT
Dutty's 3.3XT
All exhibit the same problem with tomtom, ie random GPS dropouts. I think the only thing I can do is to buy the official release version that states compatibility, then I can get some tech support from tomtom and HTC.

The last standard UK rom from HTC is a 1.56 variant (you can download it from the HTC website with your HD serial number).
I had problems with tomtom when running versions 3 and 3.3 of dutty's roms, when either the program wouldn't start (it would just crash back to the today screen) or no satellites would be seen or the program would just freeze when navigating (used to happen a lot on 90 degree bends for some reason.
I suspect the cooked rom issues may be linked to memory usage, but i'm not sure.
I use tomtom a great deal (probably 20+ hours a week), so decided to go back to the stock rom and i've not had 1 single problem in the 2 weeks since.
You've probably covered this elsewhere in your thread, but it may be worth installing HDTweak and making sure that you've got AGPS switched off.
Good luck
Spudgun

anyone know what the version is ?? 7.x or 8 ?? that's offically supported

As there isn't a navigator 8 yet, I would be absolutely shocked if it was anything but 7.x

I'm using the same rom as you at the moment with no luck. Tried all permutations of agps/no agps using hdtweak and gps mode in registry, also tried another SD card. This is so annoying as I'm on a driving holiday in Europe. I've just downloaded Davideuck's WM6.5 rom and will try that, clutching at straws here.
The freezing you had with Dutty's roms sounds like the same problem I'm getting. It's completely random, can work fine for hours and can freeze twice in five minutes, mine seems worse in slow or stationary traffic, but it can happen anywhere and usually does it at the most inconvenient moment. If I exit and restart tomtom, it comes straight back. I suspect it's something to do with timing somewhere.

Which version of the maps are you using?
Where have you got tomtom installed (i've got it installed on the device)?
Which radio are you using? (i've found 1.13 to be the most reliable)

WM6.5 rom now installed and running, just going for a drive to try it out. Not holding my breath though.

best of luck to you
Do you do a 'clear storage' when you flash? just in case there is a bad settings file somewhere on your storage card?
I had a torrid time getting tomtom to work 100% reliably on a cooked rom, but have never had any problems on a stock rom, so this has effectively cured my 'flashing fever' and i'm happy to stick with what i've got now, especially as i had tomtom lockups all the time on a way to a wedding in central manchester a few weeks back that caused no end of grief in the car

Arrrrrgggghhhhhh......
It did it again .
The only difference this time was that the navigator screen went grey and showed no satellites rather than pretend that nothing had happened and carry on showing motion albeit slowly leaving the road. It looks like it's the gps module switching itself off from time to time and requiring a restart. I seem to remember seeing something about a registry controlled timer, I'll look into that now.

What you describe above is exactly what happened to me when i was running one of dutty's roms. I would lose signal and it would wander off road before going round in a big circle and ending up at the point where it lost signal. I would also find that for some time afterwards i was unable to see any satellites in any GPS application.
I tried flagging it up on the forums here thinking it was an issue in the cooked rom, but I didn't get anywhere. Thankfully a stock HTC rom got everything as it should be and i navigated without any issue at all around the south east of england for 3 days (approx 18 hours of GPS time) last week and also made a couple of trips this weekend without issue.

Back to topic:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/539/tomtom-navigator-7-software---map-of-western-europe
So is this a legit TomTom Navigator 7 package for HTC Touch HD?
If so, great.
But I also need North America maps. Where would I be able to purchase those from, or would I need to buy them in the US? Is it then just as simple as loading the new maps onto a card?

Vogue w/o service. GPS?

I've seen a ton of threads on what to do with an old and decommissioned Vogue. Almost every one says "Put GPS software on it!" Well, ok. I did that. I put NFSFans last ROM on and installed his carrier cab. Nothing else. Fire up GPS viewer and on a perfectly sunny day I can only see 1-3 GPS satellites. Am I doing something wrong?

OK, I flashed the stock 6.1 Sprint ROM and I still can't get a fix on GPS. It will sit there forever in GPS viewer saying "GPS starting up". This was my old phone and I know I had GPS working on it before so I don't understand why it wouldn't work anymore. Radio is 3.42.30.

If the GPS doesn't start up, it usually means that your port and baud rate are not set properly. Make sure that you have it in COM4 with a baud rate of 4800. Also, you may want to take it back to NFS since it is a better rom altogether (including GPS).

Took your advice and flashed back to NFS. Still nothing. I see satellites, I just never get a fix in GPS status. I've let the thing sit there for 30 minutes and nothing.

The fact that you see satellites puts me at ease because that means that the GPS is working. Try something like QuickGPS, which will give you faster locks (or at least it is supposed to )

Windows 7 PC? So far I've had no luck getting the Windows Mobile Device Center (huge flaming pile of crap IMO) to share the internet with the phone. This worked just fine on my old XP machine. Either way I don't think Quick GPS will do anything since I can't get a lock on GPS no matter how long I wait.

Well, QuickGPS is supposed to let your device know which satellites are close by so that you don't sit forever and a day waiting for a lock. I know what you mean with 7 though, I cannot even get a device to sync with the OS, which is why i still have my trusty XP machine for all my HTC needs
If you can get online,, who knows? you might get something...

Well, I'd flash to Android if I thought that would work but the battery life there sucks balls. So far I don't have an XP install to share the internet connection. My XP CD seems to have wandered off. I'll have to grab one of our MSDN CDs from work. I'm still not very sure even Quick GPS will help since I let the phone sit plugged in for at least six hours with GPS Test running and couldn't get a fix.

[Q] HD2 My Location Weather does not update...??? I need help!

Hello All,
My T-mobile HD2 refuse to update My-Location while all other cities added seem to update fine! This started 3 days ago! I am still running original ROM from March 2010 and did not install or uninstall any programs since two months. Do I have to update to get new Radio? Could this be an issue? What is so odd is that when go to Settings->Wireless Controls->Phone->Band and choose GSM and the My-Location updates along with all other cities on EDGE. When I go back to 3G it does not!
I tried soft reset but does not help. By the way HTC Location Service is checked. I've looked in other threads that discuss this topic but found no solution.
Can any one help me out please?
Thanks in advance.

I wish I could help. You see the same thing happened to me about 3 months ago. I've tried everything. Task 29, hard reset, rom flashing (stock and cooked), tweaks, exchanging sim cards, you name I've done it. And absolutely nothing has worked. I called TMO and they told me it's a known issue that will be addressed by HTC. The rep stated they would file a ....i fogot, and get back to me when a solution is found. Well, I'm sure HTC could care less, and TMO washed their hands by passing the buck to HTC. They would not exchange it. If you do a search you'll see that others have had the same problem with no means of getting it to work.
It will work if you input a location as your location. I went into setting and placed, Mcallen, Texas, as "my location" which happens to be just 3 miles down the road. The weather will update on Edge or 3G if you manually place the location, but keep in mind it will not change locations as you move from city to city.
I hope your device isn't plagued with the same issue as mine. Maybe all you gotta do is reinstall the rom. This may just be wishful thinking...

Thank you DD. I did not know that the issue is with HTC. Well I'll be adding mine to the pile!

There are 2 check boxes in the Location setting. The second one should be left unchecked. See screenshot.

You can even use your same exact city and it will update. Mine did this for almost a month, then one day it just started working again. It has something to do with them upgrading the 3G towers. If you turn off 3G and change to edge as described in another thread in this forum it will work perfectly.

Well, I called HTC and they told me that I need to upgrade to new ROM from T-Mobile. I may do that and see if it solves the problem.

i had the same issue until i upgraded to the new tmobile upgrade 3.14 rom. it help my issues, with a faster rom and even my weather started working again. i hope this helps.

They are full of it. It's something to do with Tmobile's data network. My weather didn't work for weeks after the upgrade to 3.14. It's working now. Your weather will come back. I do recommend 3.14 though.

if your weather is not updating try changing your world clock to "my location" instead of a set location. Also there are times were the weather information does not get passed along for some reason and it affects weather bug as well as it will also say that it is unable to retreive data

I've got a new permutation! My weather info updates, however the location says United States of America! Are we having fun yet?!?

Probably Local Service Problem
I had the same problem a couple of months ago. I switched to Edge and got the My Location weather back. A few days later, I switched to 3G for another reason, and my weather began updating again. As others have said here (and in other threads), the most likely problem is with local towers not accessible. This is usually a temporary problem. But I doubt it's your phone, especially if it has worked in the past.
When using Bing or Google Maps, I sometimes see my location a long ways from where I actually am. This is due to the fact that my phone can't find enough towers at the time to get a good location.

I finally upgraded to new official rom as told by HTC but the MyLocation still does not work! It seems like the towers in my area may not be sending enough/proper data to the phone. I pulled out my Pharos 137 (3G) and tested using Google maps with out engaging the GPS and it stats unable to determine the location! Same happens with Sony Xperia X10(with T-Mobile 3G bands)! I finally concluded that it is T-Mobile towers in my area and hope they will fix them soon!

GPS-Bug after OTA-Update 2.50.xx.x

Hello. After the update (vodafone branding) the GPS does not work anymore. There are no satellites found and after finishing maps GPS is still active and seeking. Only a complete restart help to end GPS. A software reset has brought nothing. Any ideas?

Sorry mate, did not read you are using vodafone.
In this case wait for an update with fix.
Cheers.

Oops - not updated my signature lately.
This should be correct now

Confirmed on mine too. Used GPS Test and it just couldnt find anything. Any way to downgrade?

Me too! Well at least initially.
The GPS appeared to be dead, not finding any satellites. However I left it on using GPSTest and after about 5-10 minutes it eventually started to find satellites and then improved in accuracy over the next couple of minutes. Much the same way as you would get from a completely cold boot, when the phone doesn't know where on the globe it is. I did a couple of reboots after I first read this thread. Just took a drive and it seems to navigate okay as well.
Unfortunately I had already fired an email off to HTC telling them I was displeased. At least it may make them get something sorted out for those with no GPS at all by adding to the complaints file.
I had a vague hope that the OTA update was preparing the DHD for an unlocked bootloader.

Can we restrict it to certain devices?
Are affected only branded devices, even when using different providers?
There are only old or newly purchased equipment?
After all, some have no problem with GPS.

mine have the same problem.vodafone

Hi,
I have the same problem. My Desire HD are of Vodafone Spain.

With GPS status, downloaded satellite's data, fix faster then the older rom, 8/8 satellites, and google maps works fine.
I have an unbranded dhd.
What's the problem?

Vodafone DHD (NL), no GPS after update.
Hard resets didn't help either.

A cold start can take up to 10mn if you have a poor reception.
Did you try with GPS Status and downloaded the A-GPS data before trying to launch google maps?
Those who did that seemed to have it working again...

I don't get a fix after >30min's. Did everything hard reset, gps status, agps....
Looks like it's only some branded phones that have the problem.

I would like try to download RUU and reflash via PC, but where is RUU?
