Well have you installed a NAND build with HTC SENSE on it? If you have build without HTC SENSE than you can use fancy widget.
If you have SENSE build and still it is not showing you your location. Then try and open maps and check whether your gps is working fine or not.
If your GPS is not working fine then you can download an app called gps status which will download A-gps data to your phone and help get gps better. Also there are pleanty of threads for GPS fix, read them.

If your GPS is working and you are using something like Fancy Widget, then you want to go to the weather settings and make sure you check "Use my location" and "Use GPS location". Ive never had a problem when I switched. If you are also having problems finding out your build do this. Click the windows icon, settings, (scroll to the bottom) about phone, and your Build number is your current build. It is also helpful to see what version of Android your running, your baseband (Radio), and the Kernel. Hope you get it fixed.

Hi there!
I just noticed that we got some new widgets.
We got note (which I was waiting for), quick record (one button record that works good and after recording gives you a notification) and today in history (wow, it's quite good and I loved it also gives information about event). And they are better than tip calculator and dice.
May the widgets be with you
Finally!
Notes!!!
And... The new Market version got a widget too?
But what does it do?
Yep, just got my Wildfire and was thinking of a note widget. Thanks for the heads up !

I have been running tytungs 1.9 nexus build and I have had problems with mms not sending and just hanging. I have had that problem for a while. I installed go sms and did a test mms through "go sms" to my wife's phone and it worked just fine. This may not help you but it fixed my issue. I have not tried to send it through the regular sms client though. I dont know if it will work on the GB build or not though.
Good luck.

I did read...and I apologize, The custom user agent settings were on both Gingerbread builds I've used, so I assumed it was stock...if the build you're using doesn't have those settings it doesn't mean I "dnt" read.
If I were you I "wud" flash a different build.
go sms fix
I have found if you disable the "auto retrieve" setting in the htc sms app , and use the GO sms app to download the pictures it will work fine, at least it did for me! if I turn on the auto retreive it will down load small and blurry, so this setting may be the answer ( the dev team actually wants you to turn this setting on ??!! )
I can't get it to work, no matter what. I've tried the MSL fix, etc etc. The closes fix I get is about 7~10 blocks away.
Why is it that it won't work in CM7, but works PERFECTLY out of the box in Salvage-Mod?
Try the app "GPS Status and Toolbox" from the market. That got GPS working for me.

Have you tried the nightly that came out after cm7 final? Downloading gps status and clearing gps data might help.

The open source drivers provided by Qualcomm don't work.
The proprietary drivers were used in CM6, too.
I did the MSL fix to get my GPS working, but ever since then the "active" icon shows in the status bar even when I stop using navigation or maps. I actually think the gps stays active because I experience severe battery drain. Even when I disable the gps the icon stays active. I have to manually reboot for it to finally go away. Grr.
enter the ##gpsclrx# your phone reboots, while still in sense lock your GPS using navigation once it locks on reboot recovery and flash cm7. That's what I was told and it works 100% of the time for me.

Get "GPS Status & toolbolx" from market and either way go to tools, manage a-gps, hit reset, this will make the icon disappear and it will clear the gps data and get a better lock.

Make a Nandroid of your current CM7 setup.
Boot into recovery and perform a full wipe (or use Calkulin Format ALL zip)
Flash any Sense ROM
Open the Market and download MSL Reader, write down MSL.
Open Dialer/Phone and type ##4118513# (##GPSCLRX#)
When it asks you for a password type in your MSL
Reboot phone
BE OUTSIDE
Turn on GPS and open Maps, allow it to fully lock your location (may take a few minutes, do not just wait for initial lock).
Leave GPS on
Turn off phone, reboot into recovery.
Nandroid restore your CM7 backup

___________________________________________
just curious, what do you mean by a complete lock (more notably it taking a few minutes)? i've never had a gps lock take longer than a few seconds while i'm outside. it might be off by a few blocks, but it always locks really quickly (it was really bad while i was in LA last week).
it should also be noted that i have an incredible, not an evo...but after my gps issues last week while on vacation in california (and using my phone a lot for navigation) i've begun the search for a solution, because i really love CM7 otherwise. while in downtown LA i was consistently getting a "lock" that was a few blocks away from where i was, making navigation useless. it also happened a few times on the 60 freeway on the way into the city, where the phone thought i had gotten off the freeway and would start telling me to turn all over the place even though i was still driving along at 70mph on the freeway...
I saw a few people posting this in the cm7 thread. Looks like it's working great for them on the EVO too.

Well gps is always more reliable on the stock rom, so it might be your issue. There's trade offs to using custom roms.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Works perfectly on CM7 nightlies. Locks on instantly and accurately.
After 2 weeks of trial and error this is what finally worked for me.
Download GPS status from the market.
Activate GPS status and see if it gets a lock.
When locked hit the menu button-tools-manage a gps status-then click reset.
Immediately reboot
Open maps -turn on gps and WIFI
That's what worked for me. If I don't have wifi active in the pull down tab my location shows about a mile off, when I activate WIFI i am locked dead center.
There are two other fixes I found at "I can't post links so I spaced out this site" teamroyal net /gps.html but I did not need to use them as this worked for me.
If it works can you repost back here as I'm curious what is working and not working for people.

P.S. Advanced ace hack is what made my phone work ;} ..unfortunately it was a pain in the ass because when I receive the device I update it to android 2.3.5(that was stupid heh) and that was a mistake, so I needed to go back to the 2.3.3 and then root my phone. Any questions send me a PM

GPS issues with RD-MIUI 2.1.20 (2.3.7)
I recently rooted my phone and tried a few custom roms. RD-MIUI 2.1.20 (2.3.7) seems to be a stable and simple rom for usage. However, I am seeing GPS issues, like:
1. Maps shows good approximate location if GPS is off but with GPS on, it either never locks or locks to a wrong location (sometimes wrong by thousands of miles)
2. Using the GPS status app, I could see that it finds 4-5 satellites but never locks on (the GPS icon keeps blinking).
I gather that this is a known issue and have found posts on the internet claiming a fix - but before trying anything I wanted to check here.
Am I missing some steps? Is this normal after a clean wipe? Should do something to verify that my GPS/A-GPS settings are correct?
I know that the hardware is fine because it works with other roms. Any help is highly appreciated.
Welcome to all noobies. Hope you enjoy the world of flashing ROMs, lots of goodness from many amazing devs, make sure to thank them with the 'thanks' button!
