I've got the same problem.
If you are inside a building the GPS might not work!
Try flashing a custom rom, that did the trick for me. Now it takes a few seconds to lock onto satelites, or flash a new radio.
use wireless networks to help you lock position, settings > location & security
I have the problem too. Indoors it does Jack ****. Outside its fine. My xoom however does both, instantly.

Download and install the app GpsRestore from the market. It instantly fixed my issue. Make sure it's from Samsung.

Google maps can't find my location it keeps saying temp. Unavailable therefore my weather app ( beautiful widgets) isn't working correctly either I have the official tmobile update running completely stock, I can't figure it out... my gps works fine but I'm inside a apt building surrounded by allot of trees so leaving the gps on is not a option( besides the fact that it's a battery eater) but I do have full 3G bars... any ideas cause I'm fresh out?
Did you try unchecking "Use GPS Satellites" under "settings"/"location and security"?
Yeah its already unchecked..I tried almost everything before I decided to post

Is "use wireless networks" checked?
Basically, there are only two methods for the phone to know where it is: The "Use wireless networks" method, which enables a coarse tower-based estimate, or the more precise fix by enabling the GPS. If both are disabled, there is no way for Google Maps or any other app to know where you are. Dunno which of these two values Beautiful Widgets is looking for.
Set yr beautiful Widget to a fixed place,
Or use wireless location
Wireless network is checked. This is not a beautiful widget problem but rather a google maps or location problem its showing that I'm at a place I was two days ago and when I try to go into maps and hit the find my location button it says location temporarily unavailable

Yes sometime the Google map remember yr old location, just uncheck both wireless and GPS and go into Google map again can erase that record
For the temp unavailable issue, it is yr GPS problem, did u update to the ji6? It fixed the GPS issue already
And one thing, the wireless location is a estimated location, so if u r using the 3g, it estimated the big area of yr 3g signal ( don't exactly know how to say)
but if u r using Wi-Fi, the estimated is based on yr Mac address so it is more accurate coz it knows where yr router is
Well my gps is fine I don't use it indoors because I live in a apt (no signal outdoors its fine) so its off and I have wireless checked so it uses tmobile 3g network to find my location.... and I have the update I guess I'm a anomaly

Hello. I have had the phone since xmas, I don't know if it came with Android 2.1 or 2.2, anyway I am now with the latest update, default Rom with adw launcher ex for the home screens. recently I needed the gps, it's been weeks now, and I could nevEr use it. I got the signal only once and it took such a long time and it found only 3 satellites. At least I know the gps hardware receiver works.
I have already used status gps, agps function with WiFi and 3g, mysatellites, gps test. Didn't try a hard reset, since I know there can be an easier and more comfortable solution.
Which one is it?

GPS is of very low quality on android phones and it really depends on AGPS service. IPhone has the best GPS of them all connects in 7 seconds without AGPS
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Desire HD has a gps chip/sensor built in and can find a GPS signal on its own without network signal but it take a while. Try using an app such as GPS Test. A-GPS will provide faster signal because it will use network triangulation.
If the GPS is so bad as you say, why does GPS Test find the sattelites in about 5 seconds and locks on in about 10 seconds? (with 3g/ wifi off)
The lock on time has a lot do do with the radio firmware. Which one are you using?

@niks_5in you are wrong and your answer was incorrect. What should you say then if I say that with my touch HD and windows mobile I had a gps fix in 3 seconds? we don't need a winner in this thread, we just need to solve the GPS problem I have.
@karthics4 I did write that I already used gps test, status gps, mysatellites....fix doesn't happen. I can find maybe 3 satellites after half an hour, the next day is the same story. Even with AGPS, refreshing position and everything...I also have a 3G connection when I am outside...i can find my position with AGPS but of course it is not as precise as the normal GPS position....it just cannot get the fix on the satellites. even if I download the latest AGPS data before searching the satellites.
@Flussen I don't know which radio. How do I check that? I have read about people having no problems with GPS on desire hd...and then after some updates of android system they started losing signal or even never getting a fix on the signal....i cannot say it is what happened to me. I should maybe hard reset and see if before the updates the gps worked fine. But I really don't want to hard reset since I have many applications, and games with saved datas...
Isn't this GPS problem with desire hd a common problem? I thought many people had those issues with the gps...

Is your phone rooted? Because if it is, then the easiest way if all else fail is to flash a new Radio version.
I occasionally have issues with the gps which are solved by the gps status app, with the newer radio and roms haven't had an issue for a while now. Fixes in around 5 seconds

do u use any casing for ur DHD.. I've had hard time on gps locking when using silicon case..
I am not using any Rom I have not rooted my device. But as far as GPS goes my old Nokia n82 locks faster than DHD. DHD will lock in 5 to 15 seconds using AGPS. Without AGPS forget the GPS. It will take ages

I can get a lock using HTC Locations in around the same time with just GPS and quite accurate to boot.
I can say the GPS/AGPS of the DHD is better than the E71, at least.
Fix
I am not sure if you found a solution or not but i just managed to fix my own gps that has been broken for almost a year. Here's how I did it:
Remove the cover for the LED-light. The GPS-antennae hides behind it. Check the connectors for dirt and the circuits to make sure they are whole. Mine wasn't. I managed to solder them back to shape and can now get a lock in a few seconds, even while indoors.
Anybody else have issues with gps signal? I've been in nyc for a week and haven't picked up signal once. Doesn't matter if I'm in a hotel, on the street or in central park. Then I have my buddy picking up gps perfectly on his ipad and I can do the same on my droid x.
Should gps work regardless on cellular data? I tried with various settings including airport mode with no luck. Very frustrating experience and I'm wondering if I got a defective unit.

Yes and no. If you are just trying to follow yourself then yes. If you are trying to search for stuff or get directions then no.

Sounds like a GPS a-gps thing.

Try downloading GPS Status & Toolbox by ECLIPSIM. You can watch along the bottom as it picks up satellite signals, one by one.
That should help you isolate the problem.
As bwcorvus says, the GPS only spits out your geographic location.
You need Internet access before any program can take those coordinates, place them on a map, and guide you to a new location.
What app are you trying to use the GPS with?
Google Maps and Navigation need internet access.
Apps like CoPilot do not.
I cannot get the GPS to work correctly on any ROM that I flash. It either never finds the GPS and says searching for signal or finds it and cuts out really quick and gets stuck on searching for signal.
Ever thought its a hardware problem and not software?

Which ROMs are you flashing? The only one I've had trouble with GPS has been CyanogenMod, but it's a known issue there that the GPS doesn't work right.

Download GPS status from the market. Hit menu then select tools. Open manage agps state. Click clear data. Then download agps data. See if you get a lock then.

If that doesn't work, then try the CM7 GPS fix.
First make sure you are on a Sense ROM.
Get your MSL using the MSL reader app from the market.
Open your dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX#
When it asks for a password, enter your MSL and then your phone will reboot.

@kd0... I drove truck for 15 years!!
I always use GPS Status, but with Miks, I connect to all my Sats in seconds!
From the last upgrade my wife's defy+ had the gps always running and when I switch it to off it run again some time later (various times, not always the same)
Any help welcome
No running gps app, uninsatlled all app related to positionning without any result.
The only possible is norton antithief but on my other phones didn't open the gps search.
Just run GPS test on the phone, had a good connection close gps, close the phone.
Open the phone, the gps icon is not here again and not tidked as it was from the update in preferences
Are you using a custom rom?
