broken gps?? - Hero, G2 Touch General

hey everyone, i'm wondering here if i have broken my gps its on but when i go into google maps there no satellite in the notification bar showing that the gps is work any help please, edit odd i've been messing around with the 2.1 mods out but if i try to go back to 1.5 the gps stops work hmmm odd any idea's??

Hi,
I'm experiencing the same issue. I installed several 2.1 roms, the last one ,the HeroDroid01-signed rom was causing several problems with my Wi-Fi and G-sensor. I restored my Nandroid backup and now I can't get any gps fix within co-pilot google maps, compass etc. I hope installing the orignal RUU rom wil solve this issue.
Cheers,
Stijn
Edit: I have reinstalled the original RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe file and the problem has been solved. It seems the Nandroid backup is causing this issue

Same here, no GPS after 2.1 roms!
At this time not even 1.5 roms detect the GPS anymore!
What the hell happened?

had the same problem. i just reflashed the radio and gps seems to be working again.

*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?

Problems with Nexus One Gps

Hi, i have varius problems with the nexus, i don't understend why with the rom:
Cyanogen 5.0.3
Cyanogen 5.0.6
Cyanogen 5.0.7test
Cyanogen 5.0.7test
Kang-o-rama-0.6-Final
Kang-o-rama-0.7b1
don't work the gps and don't vibrate the phone if i receive an sms
Edit: Also try the r22 and r21 but nothing ...
before trying the Kang-o-rama-0.7b1 everything worked perfectly ..
I have given everything to the initial state with the original ROM but the GPS does not work
If you have flashed everything back to stock, then the GPS in your phone might be physically nonworking. Since your phone is unlocked, I'm not sure how HTC will treat a warranty claim on something like this. If you call them, mention nothing about unlocking or changing ROMS, just act ignorant and do everything they say.
Have you tried the GPS outside in the open to make 100% sure you are picking up a signal?
I had the same problem. I went form Enoms new rom 1.9.2 to The desire rom alpha 22 i ran into a no Edge/3g/H problem so went back to enoms and now i had no GPS. Switched over to Cynogens newest rom and still no GPS. So i went back to Enoms and again no GPS. Long story short i had to go to the last backup that worked which was Enoms still no GPS but i reflashed Enoms rom over my recovery image and now my phones working fine again. Sorry if it dosnt make sense but give it a try.
Thank you all, i resolved flashed the original rom twice and using Copilot. Gps test, gps status and Sygic could not connect, after tried Copilot the gps work.. i don't know

[Q] GPS not working on CM7

Hi all,
so yesterday I flashed CM7 on my Legend after having Modaco's Customized ROM installed. However, I have the same issue as some users with GPS. I've tried flashing all different Radio versions available, but I just can't get a GPS fix (neither with Maps nor with GPS Status).
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks!
My Gps only works when i use this radio version 7.08.35.21 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706435
i'm CM7 nightly built 42 to...
hello,
I had problems myself with the cm7 stable. gps was not working. But then wipe data, cache and cache dalvik, re-flash cm7, install radio 7.08, gapps... then boot... made the apps restore reboot again. then turn on gps status and in 20secs had a fix with 7 satelites.
this is my contribution to the comunity.
Edit: I Just wanna say that is working but not 100%. So i believe, that should have some bug fix in the next days. because not every legend respond well with the two radio that people says to install.

Rom with working Gps

i have nfinity 0.81 on my tattoo...i never cared if i would have gps or not.
but i come know to a conclusion that i will need it
which rom should i flash and enable gps and than flash back?
which would you recommend..i tried with
fyodor FroYo AOSP Tattoo v0.7.2c
but it didnt worked.
thanks for any help
here's what i did to re-enable GPS:
install the stock rom
root your phone, install clockworkmod
be sure to have GPS enabled before you flash the nfinity rom
Easier way:
Enable GPS.
Flash ROM you want from Recovery.
heh that s nice, didn t know you could do that
Me too. But I try it because I was too lazy to flash stock ROM(and wipe all data) and unfortunately it helps and GPS is working now for me

i enable gps with my actual rom nfinity0.82
flashed spqrom0.7 but nothing changed...still hasent gps activated.
what am i doing wrong?
I don't know but these steps work for me.
Just:
Enable GPS
With enabled GPS boot into recovery
flash some ROM
If it is not OK for you. You can still try to flash stock ROM and then use these step again.
I have an even worse problem. I had nFinity 0.81 with the GPS working (and phone was stable, I'm sometimes running openBmap to scan for wifis and cellular towers and it never crashed). So i flashed the 0.82 (with GPS on) and know the GPS behaves really strangely. If I use GPS Status & Toolbox with the new 0.82 it takes really long to lock to any satellites and when it eventually does lock on, it drops the lock a few times, and if I quit the app and then start it again it starts first finding out the satellites and after a while it locks (0.81 behavior would be to lock on immediately). And now openBmap crashes the phone (reboot). I tried wiping and installing 0.82 from scratch but still it crashes and wan't lock on. I tried restoring 1.6 and then wiping and flashing the 0.82 still nothing. Fortunately I have 0.81 nandroid backup, so I reverted back to 0.81 and there GPS works with the openBmap not crashing the phone.

Yes, it has some issues, but i believe if you have gps turned on at all times it works fine. Only if you turn it on/off, you have to reboot in order to work again. And Kalim also said, that u can have gps turned on and it won't drain any battery, if none apps need gps. So i have gps always on, and it's working
