Hello,
After rooting my 2.1 legend, i installed back my IGO gps (that worked great with the 2.1). It seems it can not get any signal from sat. just to add the frustration, the compass lost track of the north and tells me about "abnormal magnetic problems".
I updated the radio image- but it did not help.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I am finding it very difficult to to get the Fortuna GPS to lock on to staelites, bluetooth bonding fine, (I have the lates rom) but the fortuna never locks on, even though it sees 6-7 satelites. Could this be the London Weather (Heavy grey coverage) Has anybody else had this and is there a GPS testing tool besides tomtom gps 3.03 in case it is a software issue?
Living in London, it onlyh works in Xtract mode, never in the ST, does anyone else have this problem?
It could be your windscreen, have you tried it outdoors. I have a fortuna gpsmart and it is brilliant at locking on to sats. Some windscreens have an ingredient that blocks signals, try it in the back of the car instead of the front too. I have driven in London and the only time I lost lock was when I mistakenly drove into a bus terminus which had a roof.
No windscreen yet
I walk around town for now. COuld that be it? lack of motion?
Lack of motion shouldnt affect it, but accuracy is increased if moving as far as I know.
How long are you giving it to lock? If the batteries die I think it resets and has to download a whole new almanac, if you still arent getting a signal after an hour then it may be a faulty unit, I had a faulty haicom gps that displayed the same problem.
Speed
On Xtract it's fast, on the other mode, barely ever, this is the second one I get w/ the same problem from Vivo/ off ebay...Beginning to wonder. Is this a GPS issue or a TomTom one? WHat would you guys guess?
try this
This one doesn't work, only com ports 1-4?
I tried to use this but it only offers com ports 1-4, and I was unable or could get the Fortuna to work with these. right now, it only works on three ports, either :
-com 5
-BT Port
-the Fortuna Clip On Port
Yesterday, it worked very well on ST mode, then i turned it off and came back an hour later, it couldn't get a fix again. This morning it got a fix in 5mins. Could this be London weather???? Or thdo these things reset in some way that causes them to need to relaod an 'Almanac'???
I've upgraded from factory ROM to 1.56.405.1, using HTC provided utility and the GPS stopped working :S
I tried few apps (tomtom, watch, google maps) and non could get GPS to find signal (apps don't complain about GPS, just can't find any satellites).
Apart from GPS everything else seems to work fine.
Has anyone had this problem?
have you tried changing the external GPS settings then setting them back to what the should be. Sometimes this will work. Also is your Quick GPS up to Date as this will help alot
Install HTC GPSTool, select "Clear memory", then "Open"
Also You can try "Nav. Init"
Nah, didn't help. Eve after fiddling with all the buttons in the HTC GPSTool, GPS was still dead.
However a HW reset seem to have done the trick
Hi,
I've been trying to pair my Legend (updated to HTC Android 2.2) with Holux M-1200 bluetooth GPS receiver but without success, I kept getting "wrong PIN or passkey" error. The strange thing is that I can pair this same Holux M-1200 with Desire and Wildfire (both running HTC Android 2.2) without any problem. Does this means Legend's Android 2.2 is not the same as Desire and Wildfire?
I drive to the neighbor country quite often and since I don't have a data roaming plan and it usually take me a very long time (5~10 minutes) to get a gps location fix without data access.
Is there a work around to get this working? Or even better, is there a way to have a faster gps fix without using data (something like QuickGPS in HTC TD2 running WM?)?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Its better to contact htc customer care and report the issue.
There are many frustrating unsolved bluetooth issues with legend.
For me, its with my blaupunkt bluetooth audio in my car stereo.
It might pair, but many a times the audio isn't routed through the bluetooth even if its paired and connected.

hi, don't know if you ever got this sorted, but I had the exact same issues with a stock legend and a qstarz q818xt gpsr (and I believe the qstarz gpsrs use very similar hardware to the holux ones, if not exactly the same!)
I eventually found that by rooting (not trivial as I had to downgrade) and then flashing CM7 rom onto my legend I was able to get the device to pair easily, it appears to be an issue with the bluetooth stack in the stock rom.
Cheers,
Sam

Hi Sam,
Thanks for the info. I've decided to stick with stock ROM as I still prefer Sense UI and some Sense's widgets. For the time being, well, just switch on the gps once in a couple of days, that helps......

Hello everybody,
I have HyperDroidGBX-v12 in my HD2. To improve the GPS performance I installed GPS Libraries v2.0 with AGPS support for HD2 Gingerbread from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100114&highlight=gps&page=3 .
Now, the GPS works very well and quickly but if I disable the GPS and then try to enable it again, GPS doesn't work and I have to reboot my HD2 to GPS starts to work again.
Furthermore, I've detected that with the new GPS fix the battery life is lower than before, even if the GPS is disabled.
What's the problem?
Thanks.
Hi everyone, I just want to check to se eif its just me or if this is a generic WP7 or HD2 problem and for the record I am using B.T.T.F 8107
During my lunch break I regularly walk to the local shop and back which is just over a mile or so and to vary things I will take different routes so my walk will be between 20-30mins.
Being on the large side I decided to walk briskly and use sports tracking software and Zune playing FM radio. This was a while ago and I started with Endomondo, this worked fine up until around the 7440 update and for some reason I could no longer use the FM radio and Endomondo so I switched to listening to my radio station over the Internet and this was also fine.
Then I upgraded to the 8107 and Endomondo now 'pauses' when the screen locks, I have set the option to run under the lock screen and I have turned off the auto pause but no good.
Thinking this was a problem with Endomondo I uninstalled this and tried Marathon and this was the same so I ditched this and now have RunSat and this also does the same.
Too much for coincidence so out of curiosity does anyone else use sports tracking software on the HD2 and do they have similar problems?
Many thanks
OK just tried today without Zune running and its still the same.
RunStat showed 22mins but a distance of only 0.3 miles, does anyone have any ideas please?
I know you've already found this, so I'm just posting as a reference for others with the same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21103854#post21103854
