hi, ive used android on my hd2 pretty much since day one,
ive never been able to get the g-sensor to work in android. i dont get freezes or anything at all it just simply doesnt work, ive tried all sorts i was hoping nand would fix it for me but it doesnt can anyone be kind enough to offer me any solutions?
it works fine in windows mobile so its definatly related to android
ive tried loads of builds and most kernals still nothing, ive tried scripts to disable and re enable and nothing im totally mythed :/
Sorry for bump

Are you still using SD?, if so try calibrating with it upside down, screen facing down.
I'm running NAND, when I go to caliberate the bubbles don't move at all, until I press caliberate then the just move left and right and it says complete.

Hi, I allready posted this problem a while ago. I hoped this was a problem with windows mobile occupying the G-sensor, while running android from SD. I was happy to see that we finally could boot to android and skip WM, but still no G-sensor in android. Is there someone who knows the commands (in Gscript) for starting the G-sensor? I allready tried renaming the akmd file but this is only a solution for someone who has a working G-sensor and wants it disabled temporarily.
Please help a handfull of us G-sensorless android users.
Thanks.
oddly I got it to calibrate with the phone on its side, facing sideways. IT rotated ok afterwards but then got stuck. Best thing to do here is not to calibrate at all as it seems to work fine without any calibration - too late once you have done it though?

I can't find the script but all it does is renames the akmd file to stop and start. Your the only person I've found with the same problem we need to figure this out man

There's 2 more topics on this for a while now, but there's no luck on a solution. The biggest problem we all have is likely the fact that anyone reading a G-sensor thread is having the same problems. The one with the solution isnt looking for our threads.
solution - working for me
it works properly without any calibration, but if you already did it, here is the solution:
calibrate it with upside down - screen facing down, it will resolve your problem

Did it already, it seems there maintains a hardware differences in every HD2, some of can work properly, some of like us can not. Hope that the dev. who also has this problems can work this out.

It looks like so, but it works in WM, so it may be HARDWARE DIFFERENCE let the drivers cause issues? I must talk about, I have never calibrated g-sensor after flashing NAND ROM.

seem like no one can solve this problemT_T
honestly this solution didn't help me - first time, i calibrate my HD2 facing down about 3 times, and finally 3rd shot was done successfully
So your g works?
Me and others in this thread have no g at all baby caliberate as the g sensor doesn't work at all :-/ please can some one help
After endless searching for the gps solution i've found a solution.
I've tested it and can confirm it works.
All credits go to the developer of faster fix (Bernard Bekker)
So here are the steps:
1. Download the CM7 rom ( I'm currently running the built #15 nightly)
link:http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=ace
2. After installing the rom and gapps set it up as you normally would.
3. Download Fast Reboot from the market (and install it).
4. After installing the Fast Reboot, download Faster Fix from the market (and install it).
5. Now turn off the gps (not in the notification bar, but in settings).
menu/settings/location
6. Run Fast Reboot
7. Run Faster Fix, and select your country and hit Go
A pop up should say: for example "Done set to:nl.pool.ntp.org" as I live in the Netherlands.
8. Turn on your GPS and reboot.
Now when you use the Google Navigation you should have a fast and steady fix for your GPS.
This won't work if you turn off GPS and on again.
In this case you have to reboot your phone!!! Remember to turn on the GPS bevore you reboot your phone!
It is not nessesery to repeat steps 1 to 7, just 8.
Just tried this and got instant GPS lock when I walked outside of my office. THanks for posting this.
Seems to work. Thanks for the information.

Maybe I am doing something wrong but I just followed these instructions and when I rebooted the phone froze on the splash screen. Had to recover and flash my nand. Have you heard of this problem?
No, i never had this problem, mostly if you make a lot of changes, reboot in to recovery and flash a .zip and than reboot, you might end up with a bootloop in the splash screen.

Just to inform you guys, if you are using a gel case on your Desire HD, it's going to have a noticeable impact on the GPS lock time, from two minutes down to only several seconds.
I have confirmed this with my Case-Mate Gelli, and there is also a video by someone else on YouTube showing this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUyhxm2NtDU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Faster Fix will still help with the lock time in both cases, so thanks to the original poster.
Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I have an HTC Desire CDMA from USCC with CM7 RC4 running.
?permanent fix
It worked but is it a permanent fix or every time you want to you GPS do u have to turn it on then reboot to get it working again? Thanks
Evo4g / Sprint, worked pefect (saved me from a lot of reflashing)!
Tnx
I still find the GPS to be very poor on my DHD. updated the radio, applied this fix and it still takes a long time to lock, even when outside. Its almost as if agps isn't working at all.
Just a thing to test
Menu>settings>applications>development
Make sure "Allow mock locations" isn't checked
I suffered with terrible GPS reception for weeks until I noticed this was checked. Now I get on average 3-7 yards accuracy, fixing in about 3 seconds
Also didnt work for me. Have flashed a few different Radios and ROM's, does anyone know a highly recommended Radio for CM7 and gps? (preferably on UK Orange if that matters / makes a difference to gps).

have you updated the RIL that applys to your radio?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040986
also have you installed gps status from the market?
go into tools and reset the data
both those worked for me
Worked well for me! Got an instant lock in my house after doing it. Used to take about 2 minutes outside. Cheers
Hello!
What is in the gapps file and how do you install them?
Is it possible to use them with another rom or is they locket to CM7HD?
For the moment I am on RCmixHD.

So we can use RIL on CM7?? Wasn't there some problems??

This thread clearly says in the OP "not for CM." I don't know anything about RIL so maybe it will work, I just don't want to see someone have issues.
I found this and was able to get a fix for the first time since owning the phone.
Go to market and search for GpsRestore
Anyone else try it yet
Guys/gals,
That app has been available for months. It does work (at least for me it does) but after a few days it no longer does. Good for a temporary fix every now and then.

That worked great for me when I was running 2.1 and 2.2 flawlessly,but doesn't work on 2.3.5 Miui though,but heck they got GPS working pretty good anyhow
I am on Trigger ROM and am not able to fix the GPS. I have tried Angry GPS, tried a different kernel, tried the CM7 GPS fix zip None worked. Will try this and see if it helps.

Use faster fix to set your pool server, then use gps aids, clear agps in settings, then go outside with good signal, request update agps in settings, go back to main screen and wait for good fix, may take a minute or 2, after that you should subsequently get a fix in about 15 seconds

i'm trying to use GPS Aids but it said "The GPS Data Folder is not visible to "GPS Aids"
what should i do ?
What firmware are you using?
Your phone must be properly rooted (ie. having Superuser and Busybox installed). Any rooted kernel will do the trick.
Then, being on GPS AIDS main screen, press the menu button on your SGS and select "Setup".
Thanks Slap, this is very helpful especially for JWx firmwares that do not include angryGPS anymore.

Try the fix for GB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750226
Hi,
My GPS is also not working. I did a very wide search about that isse and tried most of the things. But no luck. In previous stock roms, my GPS was working fine. But after switching to ICS, I couldn't get a fix. The interesting thing is when I tried to downgrade to GB, I still couldn't get a GPS fix. I'm totally confused about the problem.
Does anyone have any solution or idea?
Hi Guys, try to flash with different ROMs and see if the GPS works on other ROMs or not. Make sure the NTP server is having correct URL for your region. It is required for your phone to download LTO file, the same to XTRA server url.
For my case last time, it wont works on any ROMs I tried at all. And then I found out it is the GPS Antenna contact problem. I have fixed it by soldering trick (which voided my warranty that I am not really care after about 2 years of usage).
You can try to verify it by taking off the back cover, then use your finger to press on the upper part of the GPS antenna at the back of the phone. (the location is next to your speaker for I9000). IF it detects satellite when you pressing it, probably it is the hardware contact issue. Some of the owners fix that by putting a thick tape at the pressure point so that when they put back the back cover, it will give a pressure to make sure the antenna contact properly to the board pin.
Try search in xda regarding about the GPS hardware fix.
WARNING : Try it on your own risk. It is just my suggestion and you have rights not to try it. Good luck. :good:

First of all, thanks for your reply. I tried varios ROMs, none of them solved my GPS issue. But I'm pretty sure that I used GPS previously. There were no problems at the beginning. So I don't think that there is a hardware related problem. I noticed that problem after installing ICS (maybe it was before ICS, but I didn't notice it before).
Just to be sure, I also chekeched the GPS antenna (I found a guide about that). And it seems OK.
So I'm back to square one...
Note: It detects GPS satellites, but says that none of these satellites are in use. I also posted a screenshot in my previous reply.

Switch all location services off in settings. ie untick both gps satellites and wifi location. Then power off, reboot and switch them all on again. Use gps test (chartcross) to see if you can get a lock.
You can also reset agps data if it remains slow to lock.

I already tried all tips I'v found (FasterFix, manual update of gps.conf, A-GPS Reset/forced update, power off, reboot, using GPS Status and GPS Test). Getting a stable GPS lock is very funny.

Please check the thread attached and make sure you do a backup.
If not I'm wondering if you have a hardware issue.
Thanks but this fix was not helping me...
So, I decided to disassembly the G2.
I solved my GPS problem by adding some alumium on the GPS antenna. Opening the G2 back cover is very easy (see video on youtube).
Before I was getting a GPS Lock on 0 sat (20 in view).
Now, I'm getting a GPS Lock on ~8 sat !!!
My girl friend was able to use her G2 while driving ~40km without any lost of GPS. It was impossible before "my fix".
Does the baseband and radio/modem and that stuff affect the GPS?
I'm also having difficulty get a lock on
Curious fix - squeeze the top right corner of the phone and see if you get a lock on!
