Hi to all
Can someone help me to fix gps on T-Mobile HD2 LEO.
When I try to use it it can't find ant satellites.
Is there any tools to test gps connections or something like that?
Regards
Are you using the stock ROM? If so, I would upgrade to a custom ROM...seems to have fixed it for alot of people.

Hello,
im using Tomtom Navigator v. 7.910 on my phone and have the problem that it takes very long to connect to the GPS satelites. But in some cases the phone connect very fast. Anybody is having the same problem? Is there a workaround that fixes the problem? Thanks in advance.

I am afraid, it is a common problem.
Some configratıons and especially some new Roms improve the reception..
Quick GPS!?
have you update your quick gps?
does TOMTOM support AGPS?
I have GPS.Tuner.v5.3c and I have the same issue...because it doesnt support AGPS!
You can use QuickGPS, it quickly downloads current satallite info and helps you to find them faster once you run gps programs.
hi guys
to add to the questions?
Does htc touch 3g inbuilt GPS have TMC fucntionality? Can A-gps be of any help here?
I am running Igo 8 on the unit and trying to get traffic info. Traffic data works with tomtom 7.4, but via data connection. wondering if i can get such service for free via igo8-tmc connection.

Hi Everyone...
I got my son a US Cellular PPC6800 (Titan)... It has on it now :
Rom Version 2.17.573.0
Rom Date 7/1/08
Radio 1.69.00
Hardware Version 0003
PRI 1.31_027
After some reading here, it seems I need a diffrent radio to get the GPS to work... my issue is I spent all day yesterday setting up the phone for my son, just how he would like it... I would hate to have to re-do it all just ot enable the GPS... Could I just update the radio and keep the rest just how it is? or wouldnt; that work... I don;t even need the phone itself to work as a phone as I will be using it as a skype phone... I just need the WiFi, GPS, and bluetooth... Thank you in advance for you advice
No your rom or os is not compatible with a gps radio. You would have to install a custom rom and then a compatible gps radio to enable it. You will lose all settings and programs when do this change.
You'll have to flash a new radio and then a new rom, the one you currently have will have to be overwritten.

Hope this helps!
Thanks for your advice everyone... I got a new radio (3.35.04) and rom (RMcarrierlessTitanV1.1Light).. I was most like the standard 6.1 stockI was used to and had known good software for.. After doing LOTS of reading here, there, and everywhere today I was able to get the GPS to work as well with TomTom... Learning qPST was nice though.. I was easily able to change the banner to say "Skype" instead of US Cellular,Sprint, or any other carrier.. I thought that would be a nice touch as this will only be used as a Skype phone anyways...
The only other issue I am having, is when justhte phone is turned off it is reporting it isin airplane mode in certian programs (TomTom for example) and I have to turn on the phones radio to get it to work... Any suggestions? I am not putting it in aitplane mode.. and still have WiFi on at that point.. (although turning hte phone off sometimes effects that too it seems).. I am trying to get it to work well with the phone off to save battery as WiFi will be on most of the time it is in use... Thanks in advance..

Are you running a stock ROM ? If not, did your GPS work on the stock ROM ?
If your GPS has never worked then it may well be a hardware problem. But if it used to work and stopped with a cooked ROM, then there was a version of WM where GPS support was broken.
Google maps also needs internet connection, you have one? Also try with a navigation software like TomTom or Igo, in Igo you have to let the software discover the port used.
i have seen one or twice the gps icon.
futher al apps keep searching for it.
i,m on a stock rom 1.88.404.3 (67102) NLD
i will have a go with Igo.
thx sofar
You could also try:
Chartcross GPStest.
Go sit next to a road so that it is easier to get a signal...
And it might take a few minutes until it got a fix.
And if you have a data connection (like T-Mobile web 'n walk), enable A-GPS in your settings. Good luck
If it helps you, the GPS port is 4 and the speed is 38400, in Igo you cann set it yourself or let the software find it
thx for the advice guys,
but i fried my rom yesterday, i believe that was the problem all along.
so i,m gona seek for a new rom, don,t now cooked or vanila.
i will post here if the gps wil function then.
laterzzz
If you are searching for a new rom try the Phoenix 2 rom from NRGZ.
It is also available in Christmas theme
And it comes with many gps settings and apps.
k k,
i wil have a go with it, downing it now.
i wil report back on howe it went.

update:
flashed to Phoenix 2.
gps is working like a charme
lots of goody,s in this rom.
thx.

Hey, I really need some help now.. No one anwsered my other threads.
I have problems with my Bluetooth hardware. Sometimes it works (rarely), sometime it does not. It used to work well about 2 months ago. Never really used it anyways. So my first question is: is there any tool available to verify/check/diagnostic the bluetooth hardware?
For the GPS, I'm also having some problems. I get some readings with GPS Viewer, like 4-6 numbers, but nothing else. It doesn't get satellites with Google Maps. Could a reflash of the radio fix this (currently on 3.42.50, which is the latest version)? Could using Bell's aGPS server settings help (btw, if someone has them.. could you PLEASE post them here! I've been searching for them EVERYWHERE) ?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I have tried several "fixes" for GPS not being able to find satellites problem. Such as
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233359 and ANgelDeath's faster Fix.
Is there an out of the box Android nand rom NYC/USA users have used to get their GPS working? If so can you please share your experience and recommend me a solution?
I reside in NYC and am having frustrations getting the GPS to show/find satellites in GPS status.
anybody? bump
bump bump bump
morning bump. no nyc users?
hey i have a friend in philly??? not NYC i know but close ... kinda? i know he makes trips to the city often for work and what have you and has never complained about GPS fixes. he uses the same rom as i, Hyperdroid, and hasn't reported ANY problems. (i was the one who helped him get everything all flashed and ready to go, so my thinking is i would be the first upset/panicked call should it not go smooth)
Hyperdroid is a NON-sense rom. it is (in my opinion, for the HD2) just about the best rom as far as NO FCs, lightning performance, EVERYTHING works.
alright thanks, i am going to try to flash back winmo and test if the gps is working there...
Is it a common problem for the gps hardware to fail on these phones? New to the phone...
