[Q] Unable to get GPS Fix

I really need help !
I'm running MDeejays' version of android on my HD2 for some time now, Running great. I cannot however get a GPS FIX on the damn thing. Tried everything. Also having the same problem running matt-c's version of android on another HD2 of mine.
Can somebody please help ?!

Try this.. Go to the Maps App.. Make sure your Gps is turned on.. Go out side and try to let the Gps find you..

The same situation here. I usually get a fix by doing the following:
* Making sure it gets a fix in the WM before switching to Andorid
* And running the Google Navigation app's map component to get a fix.
Then any other program will see the GPS signal in a few seconds.

What happens when you download 'GPS test' from Chartcross from the Market?
Go outside and let it search for a couple of minutes.

Or, it might need the connectors for the gps aerial bending slightly, as they are made of a weak metal, and get pressed in over time in. There are several threads about it.
I did the fix on mine, and the gps works brilliantly now!
Hope this helps

[Q] Unable to get GPS fix

Hey guys, I moved from a HTC hero to an Atrix about 4 months back and i have not been able to get even a single GPS lock. The GPS icon blinks when i start up a navigation application but it remains in the "waiting for signal" state.
I tried using the GPS Status app. It shows satellites that are available but it doesnt get locked to any. BTW, i am running an unrooted official 2.3.4 gingerbread on my phone.
Thanks in advance guys

Use FasterFix from the Market (free) and apply appropriate setting. Additionally you can try resseting aGPS data with GPS Status, also free from the Market.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried resetting the aGPS data in GPS status but that didnt do the trick. Apparently, the FasterFix app requires root access while mine is unrooted. Is there any other possible work around? Could it be a hardware issue?

Not necessarily hardware. I get that on mine sometimes and I think it may be a wipe issue. Not positive though

I had to swap my device a few months back and the replacement had this same problem. I ended up having that one replaced too. So I've now had 3 atrix phones and only one had this issue. Was definitely a hardware problem for me.

GPS Problem

Hi guys.
I'm currently running on this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639932 ; and have a problem with getting a GPS Connection.
I already tried two things. Manually editing the gps.conf file, and flashing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630 for Europe.
My phone just doesn't connect to any sattelites. In GPS Test the GPS Status is just a yellow light saying GPS on, yet everywhere there are zeroes, 0 Accuracy, 0 Sattelites connected, it just doesn't seem to work at all.
Any solution?

bump.
Nothing in the topic guys? Is it that uncommon?

Same problem on latest tytung 4.2.2 nexushd2 ROM. Also tryed many solutions and none of them works.

I have no idea if this will work on your ROM so make sure you have good backups before trying..
You could try to inject AGPS data before using the GPS. Check out this post and read the "How to inject the AGPS data (xtra.bin)" and "How to verify if AGPS works or not" sections.
Good luck!

I had the same problem with tytung jb. I reflashed ics from scratch and tested gps. Gps was fine.
Then i installed jb without cleaning over ics, and gps kept working. Dont know why, but it worked for me.
