GPS problem with cm7? - Desire HD General

Hi guys. I need a little help here please. I am running cm7 on my inspire 4g and for some reason my GPS doesn't wanna work anymore?
It rarely locks on a signal whereas it used to never have a problem and locked within 10 or 15 seconds.
I have tried different fixes. I tried the combined audio+GPS fix found on this forum. I've tried different kernels. I just can't get it to work!!!!
Can anybody please help me get my beloved GPS working again???

i had the same problem, i am using #17
for me it worked when i first turned on GPS and then 3G. And then maps located me right. It only worked correctly with 3G and not with WiFi.
maybe its the same for you

I'm using #15 and that didn't do **** to help me, lol. Ill get #17 tonight. Can I ask what kernel are you using on your phone??

Is it not only for Inspire ?

Unfortunately that didn't fix it either. I don't understand what's going wrong. I had it working a few days ago! I have tried multiple different roms and kernels with no success. I have tried cm7 #13 #17 #17 rc2 and even android revolution and none of them worked.
I just don't get it?

Does the gps get a lock when using a stock rom?

Running GPS status before google maps etc. means I get gps lock straight away on cm7. Running maps 1st means don't get a lock.

Ok, so I've tried everything mentioned here. I've turned on and off different functions in different orders. I've rebooted a million times too also while having things turned off or on.
I haven't tried it with a stock rom try as I modded and flashed cm7 on the phone the day I got it hut remember that the GPS worked up until the other day and now I don't know why it wont work.
Ill try flashing a stock rom on tonight and see what happens.

I have exactly the same issue. I downgraded from 1.75 to 1.36, rooted, ENG S-OFF, radio S-OFF and flashed Android Revolution with the recommended radio and I cannot use GPS at all. Tried flashing CM7 and same again.
Anyone got any ideas?

Tethering problems

has just flashed miui ROM to my phone, but now my tether no longer work? Has anyone experienced the same problem? Tried to find a solution to the problem, but without luck so far. It worked perfectly erlier with cyanogenmod. 7, but there I had download problems from the market? Hope someone is able to help me.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
miui is not aosp so a lot of things you are used to won't work or as well as they should. I couldn't get drocap2 to work on MIUI so I said screw it and restored to cm #12
Edit.. meant to also say you need something that's compatible with miui so search that.
Which tether app? Wireless tether? Tether? PDANet?
Gi guys, thanks for the answers. I fot sicilia and tiger of miui and flashed starburst in stead. This also solved my internal memory problem

Every possible way to fix the GPS bug in CM7

I have tried SEVERAL ways to fix it and none have worked. New radios, apps like gps status, trying a new gps.vision.so file, and other ways that I can't remember.
The only thing that I haven't tried is going back to a new rom with working GPS, enabling it, and then going back to a nandroid backup. Might try this tomorrow. Which rom should I try that has a working GPS?
What other ways to fix my gps have I overlooked?
Thanks guys! You guys are always a big help!
What is this "bug" you're talking about? I get a gps lock in about 10 seconds..
Sent from my G2 running Cyanogenmod 7.
rc1 gps ok, rc2 can't find right gps fix
When I first installed RC1, I replacing the gpsvision.so or whatever that file was did fix it....since RC2 haven't found that correct fix file....Anyone have a link to the whatever gpsvision.so the G2 likes with RC2?

Multiple CM7 users have been reporting problems with the GPS on numerous Nightlys. You're one of the lucky ones who hasn't been screwed by the bug lol.
Back to the topic, which Gingerbread ROM has an official working GPS? As in ONLY a FEW people complaining about having gps issues. Thinking about using a Sense rom to get gps working.

For my Desire Z and CM-7.0.0-RC2 I had to downgrade radio to get GPS working.
26.04.02.17 works for me and 26.06.02.27 (latest now) does not.
I can confirm that for CM7 RC2 on my G2 can not obtain a GPS lock.
My DZ works normal

Ditto for me. GPS stopped working when I installed CM 7 RC2.
GPS stopped working in mine as well when I went to CM7 RC2 and hasn't worked since. I'm now running the latest RC. I did get mine to work by flashing a different radio...as soon as I did that, GPS locked. I went back to the original radio I had before and GPS still works.
I think it's just a case of CM7 not reading the radio correctly until the radio gets flashed and forces CM7 to rediscover it. That's just what I THINK is going on from personal experience in computers...if it's wrong, please someone correct me.
I've been using the nightlies every since they started churning them out, The GPS stopped working on one of the builds and I never noticed. I'm currently on build 35 and I simply flashed my radio and GPS locks within seconds now..

AOSP-Like Gingerbread Rom (D2/DX?)

Is there anything like Fission for the Droid 2 or Droid X available that's based on 2.3.3? AngDroid has disappeared and I haven't heard anything from Team Defuse regarding updates. Makes me regret donating. I'm seeing a few new Gingerbread roms popping up for both the Droid 2 and the Droid X but they've all got Blur included. Any suggestions?
In before "be patient."

Take a look at some of his roms. You can flash one then flash the d2todx converter found on droidforums. I've been running the broodcomb rom with no issues.

if you look at the website they have three that are GB based. those three should work when flashed after the gb leak.

Working on it. Making sure this stuff works first...then i'll ask permission
EDIT: This PC I have has to go tonight--so i'm going to have to work on this later tonight. Time to go drop off a previously b0rked Windows box. $$ though . I'll get back on this as soon as I get home! Also, I am no dev. I'm simply trying these out and reporting my findings, to help the dev's out hopefully. I might throw a quick tutorial together even though i'm sure someone else will beat me to it
If anything, i'll ask what it would take to get this stuff working on the D2. Sort of be the guinea pig of getting his DX GB ROM's to work on the D2.
Thnx

This is not working very well at all. The phone has rebooted on me several times. I'm having issues with the market, and Droid 2 Bootstrapper. It seems to reboot when I go to install apps...SBF'ing, then trying again. Maybe clearing data after flashing DXtoD2GB.zip, but before the first boot will help?
You should wipe everything before flashing and mount system just in case
Try that

Boot into rom
Let all of your apps install
Boot into clockwork
Install lexlight without wiping
Install porter again without wiping
It's a long process but it should work.

I'm running brrodcomb on a D2. It works great. The only two things I've notice are apparently the charge light and you cant add shortcuts to the home screen by long pressing on them in the app drawer. you have to go though the home screen.
lol sbf'ing is so second nature at this point for me
So nobody has tried drewgaren's other ROM's for the DX?
...and those were the instructions you used to get everything working properly? I couldn't install ANY app without the phone rebooting on me.

I've tried all three and the above method stopped the reboots. I liked the stock launcher and stock look of GB so I stuck with broodcomb.
So can we get a step by step on how to do it with the files also? I can d/l the rom from his site

when you install a CM7 nightly then the radio isn't changed.
It install only the ROM.
Why this question about the radio version?
i thought the problem of the reboot could be the Radio...
I have EXACTLY the same problem...
Well, i'm experimenting some freezing issues with my Htc Legend on CM 7.03, when the wifi is on, i launch Android market (or something else... like trillian, a game etc..) in order to search apps or upgrade installed ones, after few swipes... : big freeze, then reboot.
i'm experimenting this problem since the first stable release.
I'm running LauncherPro Plus as Home Replacement, have S2E (for A2SD) and the 7.13 radio.
I would just know if someone else do have this issue too.
I was using Blayo before without any freezes.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
same problem here too.
I had the same with one of the nighlies (87). I had Go Launcher has homescreen replacement.
Running 7.0.3 with ADB there were no issues anymore!
will go to 7.0.3 - thanks. by the way, what does adb do to the phone whilst not plugged in?
These WiFi reboots sound similar to those in ogo2's Sense 2.3 ROM, I wonder if they're linked?
Well ogo's, rom is 97% cyanogen 7, and cyanogen 7 has had these wifi issues since they started using htc code (see post in dev section).
partial work-around
well, going back to the latest stable version of cyanogenmod (7.0.3 at this time...even though i will miss the better responsiveness of adw in the newer nightlies) and using wifi fixer is a partial work-around to this problem for m.
Hello.
Could you please tel me where can I download diferent versions of radio for the Legend?
Have almost 0% of wifi and mobile coverage after installing CM 7.03.
Thanks!

Has anyone any experience with wifi network, which requiers to enter user name and password, first time you open the browser? I have such case at work, and my problem is tha this first page just won't load. It works ok on my coworkers phone (nexus s). Any suggestions what can I try. I've tried with Skyfire browser and with nativ cm browser, but it doesn't work. I'm using CM 7.0.3 stable
Wifi seems to be fixed in Cyan 7.1.0 RC1 at least is is on mine.

The updater-script probably has a reboot command. Let it reboot and freeze, then reseat the battery. Hold Vol down and press power to boot into bootloader. Then boot into recovery and flash the first time kernel.

Did you read through the whole thread? Apparently the working version is posted by someone else towards the end of the thread-the one posted in the op has issues...

I noticed he dropped a newer version than the one posted in the OP of that thread on Oct 28. Try that one maybe? Have you read the entire thread. Most of the time people post fixes as they're found.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yea i read the entire thread and i tried the fixed versions too and still nothing
Well, I have no idea then. Are you using the first time kernel or something else? The idea of the first time kernel is to get over some roadblocks and allow you to then flash a kernel designed for daily use.

Ohh I didnt know that
Im still running the kernal you gave me
Ill try flash a new one and see what happens
