But if i turn back to the 3.0.1 the gps works again.With the new rom the gps seem inactivate because the gps in view are always 0

in the first time out of box..the gps won't works with the 3.0.1, but after get gps4 mod fix it's works..maybe it's need to be modified again for gps.conf??

I don't know,i'm returned to virtuos 1.0.4 and install faster fix...in 3 second i' ve my satellites connect and the gps working perfect,i think l never upgrade my rom

[Question] How to test GPS hardware...

Hi all,
suddenly my GPS is not working anymore. Can enable GPS and it says it is ok. But when i want use Google Maps, or navigation program the icon in taskbar is not there anymore.
Did try GPS Status, nothing....
Did a fresh rom install and wipe everything i can wipe.. nothing not working.
now i want to know is there a tool or adb option to test the hardware if this is still working.... (maybe GPS is broken)
Thanks
Did a RADIO rom flash with the one i already had on my HTC... and problem solved....
Still wondering how it can happen that maybe the radio rom was getting crazy...
had the same problem two days ago, same solution... same no idea for the cause
this kind of strange things was my idea only for windows... suddenly it is not working anymore.. But.. Solve this problem was mutch easier haha
This seems to happen whenever you flash a 2.1 ROM. Even going back to 1.5 doesn't fix the problem and a new radio flash is required.

Try GPSTest from market.

Every now and then manufacturers like HTC will release an update to radio which controls your wifi, data, blutooth. If your current radio is having problems, you will need to update it. Most of the time new radio is included with the update but you can Google individual files as well, hope this explains

destinator 7 fails when sim is installed on HD2

Hi guys,
I 'm facing a very weird problem. I own a HTC HD2. I have installed Destinator 7. When the SIM card is not installed (or the SIM is physically installed but I don't provide the PIN) destinator works fine. When I enter the PIN for the SIM, so my phone connects to the mobile phone provider, Destinator software fails to start. The destinator's logo appears on the screen and HTC halts. Power-off button doesn't work and I had to press the hard reset (red pin at the back). I have ran many tests and the conclusion is always the same - Destinator halts when SIM is installed. Does anybody else had a similar behavior? Any ideas for further troubleshooting are welcome.
thanx.
I have both destinator 7 and igo8 on my hd2 and both work without any problems, do you have a branded hd2?
Hi Mathie,
thank you for your reply. My HTC is not branded or somehow locked (I hope). I 'm running the original ROM v. 1.66.482.1 ELL, O/S 5.2.21869, manila 2.5.19211619.0, RF 2.06.51.07. My service provider is Cosmote. I 'm not sure if this information helps, but I cannot think ANY reason why destinator hangs when the telephone SIM is installed.
Is there any possibility the GPS receiver to get a conflict with A-GPS ? I' d rather say no...
N-drive at the other hand, works fine, it's an excellent program, but I 'm get used to Destinator.

have you tried to put another sim card in your phone? wind, or vodafone? and see if the problem insists? have you tried to update quick gps? have you changed the com ports? (by default destinator 7 uses com port 4)
Hello again.
I have tried to perform the following tests.
1) I have replaced cosmote SIM with Vodafon one. I destinator has the same behavior.
2) I turned off RF radio (airplane mode). Destinator works fine but of course I cannot use HTC as a mobile phone.
3) I have formated the entire flash (CF) and create only the destinator directory. The problem persists.
4) I 'm not sure if quick GPS interacts with Destinator, but since you 've mentioned it I run quickGPS version 1.3 (built 1920.2423)
Destinator has been set up to use com4. If I don't register to a Mobile Provider (or RF is dissabled) the program runs fine, otherwise the startup logo fills 9 out of the 10 red arrows and stacks there.
thanks once more for your time.
where did you buy your phone? are you using a stock rom or a cooked one? I am using this rom here and all is well,no problems at all if the problem persists download the above rom and flash your phone with it. i'm sorry but some things get messed up if your rom is not well installed i can't help any more.
Hi again,
thanks for your answer. I 've checked the rom link you 've mentioned. I 'm already running ROM v. 1.66.482.1 ELL. I got the HTC from a recent offer of Vodafon. They sponsor a 450 Euros discount for the device, and HTC HD2 was in the list. I have not flashed the phone yet, since I already have the latest release. I 'll get a full backup and I 'll try to flash it, just to see if that will fix the problem. I 'll post my findings.
thanks.
Hello,
I have good news. I have re-installed the original ROM v. 1.66.482.1 ELL as you have suggested and Destinator 7 works FINE. I still cannot figure out what could of being wrong, with my original same version ROM, but when I re-flashed to the one downloaded from here http://www.htc.com/gr/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=863 the problem is gone.
Thanks once again for your valuable suggestions.

GPS problem...

Hey guys! I have rooted Wildfire, with CM7. My GPS is not working at all...
I managed to try with GPS Test (nothing- not even one satellite was found) , tried with other ROM - Wildpuzzle (again nothing).
Is there a chance that problem is in my phone software or it's definitely hardware?
Try reflashing the Radio. (Use the version ending with 19.25, If that doesnt work, then try the one ending with 20.10). Its available in the WildPuzzle ROM thread.
Thank you so much! It works with version ending - 19.25.

[Q] GPS Navigation Problems

After I flashed eViL's myTGB v1.0 - A Pure Gingerbread Espresso ROM, I've had problems with my navigation not picking up GPS. It just says is "Searching for GPS..."and I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or if there was a fix for it.
I haven't used that Rom but every I have had GPS issues after switching Rom's I followed these instructions laid out real clear and easy at http://teamroyal.net/gps.html
Good luck
Thank You, I have tried a few ROMs too, and this is the first time I've had any GPS problems...I have tried the first two alternatives from the website you posted and I am ganna try the other one..and If that doesnt work I'm ganna try another ROM..
No Problem I tried the third one but my phone was not able to lock on to GPS at all, so I had to use my backup gps.conf file I made before the edit. Let me know if it works. Not having working GPS is a killer.
I tried the alternate and I had no luck...and I tried the ROM i had before and I get the Navigation to work...so I decided to just try out another ROM..and my GPS and Navigation works..But now I have the damn tiny/blurry MMS...and I cant find a fix for it...but Ill keep looking...Thank you for your help...

Try SDcard build r175 here
Remember you should run this build first time without SIM card.
r175 can enable GPS so it will run in WM and CM builds.
The r175 ROM, freezes and i can't use, but GPS it's alive on WM6.5.
Thank you very mutch.
It was any rom that i can use in HDMini, with no problem on GPS? I've tested Cotulla_PHOTON_AD_Users and cm-7.2.0-RC0-photonic with problems.
Best regards.
Thanks it helped !!!

After you 'revive' you GPS with r175 you can use schlund's NAND CM7.2 build with GPS working normally.
Just be sure you nave GPS on in WM when you start flashing CM7.2
hello,
I had to same problem before. To correct you must boot again under Android to swith the GPS on/off. After next reboot after in WM65, GPS will work again.

thanks for the solutions.
Best regards.
Hi all,
I am having big trouble ith my GPS.
On WM 6.5 I do not having GPS. It's enabled at the SD Android version r175-final.
I am using Tom Tom on my WM 6.5. It's just connecting to the GPS module I think but it's waiting for signal endlessly.
Anybody an idea?
I just made a hardreset. I just reinstalled Android to check if it GPS is enabled there....do idea left.
Thx ahead guys
Try to turn GPS OFF in R175 then start win and open Google Maps with "enable GPS" checked.
Enable HTC location and stuff in winmo and download satellites.
You have to be under clear sky when testing
Repeat with turning GPS ON in android. It should work.
HTH,
Hi ci6i,
thx for your help.
I tried your steps, but I din't receive any satellites in google maps.
Do you have a further idea? Or anybody else?
Thx ahead.
To get gps working in winmo, you need to enable gps in android or gps will not work in winmo!!!
Hope you read my first thread...I just tried this without any success.
Maybe you have to put GPS several times On/Off in r175 to get it work in WM. At least it has to be On in Android (test with GPS Status from Google Play).
well guys it's not working in android, too.
I just de-/activated several times, no success. I am a bit hpeless in the moment.
Did you have another Android release installed, a nand release for example?

Its 100 times confirmed... install winmo, than run android sd card version, not nand version! Than enable gps in sd version android, than reboot to winmo and your gps will work 100% (but you need to enable wifi and download satelites before use gps with an aplication). If "download satelite" working in winmo your gps for sure will work.
I not confirm with using r175, I used mine froyo version and every time it fixed my gps...
Well guys,
thx to all of you for your help
I just send my mini to reparing. The HTC guys found out that my GPS tool is damaged.
Regards
Kuckuck
