Before updating to 2.2.1 with the froyo DK28 build, GPS worked pretty well on my epic. After the update GPS no longer works at all.
Is there any way to restore GPS without resorting to rooting or using Odin? I downloaded GPS Status off the market and reset the GPS with it multiple times but it still does not work.
Any suggestions?

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.

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

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
I updated my phone to JM8 from JM1 because my GPS didn't seem to connect.. After reinstalling everything and going through the whole procedure the GPS STILL doesn't connect. The weird thing is that when I was using JF3 firmware which came installed on the phone I didn't seem to have any problems.. any tricks or tips?? I already deleted the GPS data, but that didn't work
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
Just yesterday I used ODIN to bring my Epic up to Gingerbread, which included the modem and everything. As I guessed, the GPS stops working. I used Clockwork to wipe everything (after failing to ODIN back to Froyo. Go me.) and applied the GPS fix. That didn't fix it either. Everything works just fine, better even, which makes me happy, but I am very bad with roads and thus very dependent on the GPS. Are there any other ways I can attempt to fix the GPS?

Odin back to froyo get a GPS lock the flash the gingerbread rom with clockworkmod then see if the GPS works then. That's what I did and never had GPS issues after that
