I tried many Android NAND ROMs for HD2.
Everything works fine except when I start to use Google Maps with GPS enabled my phone stops working and I cannot doanything other than taking off the battery and start it again.
My HD2 is not the T-Mobile one. Thats all I know about it !!
Are there any other apps that make your phone behave the same?
Have you tried using GPS with an other application ?
Are you sure you have this issue under all ROMs ?
This is the only app that I am always taking off the battery to use it again and taking off the battery until I reaches the location I want !
I have not tried the GPS with other apps except Google Maps.
I will try it and post the result here.
I am sure I have this issue under all ROMs I have tried. But not all the ROMs in the universe .
I am keeping tring that but no use!
I think the issue is only with Google Maps.
I tried MapQuest app and GPS Test app and they worked fine without any problem but when I started the Google Maps the phone stopped working "hanged"!!
This happened only if I turnd the GPS on and started Google Maps. But if GPS is off the Google Maps is working fine.
Any help.
What's your Google Maps version? Are you on the latest version ? If not, try upgrading it and see if it resolves your issue.

I just upgraded to the 3.35.651.2 firmware, and while my Internet speeds have increased, I seem to have lost GPS capabilities.
I used to be able to get a lock immediately in Google Maps. Since the upgrade, when I enable the GPS in G. Maps, it reads "Initializing GPS" and then "Seeking GPS Satellites (0)" but it never gets a lock.I've tried it outdoors in many locations that i've used it in before.
With the 3.16.651 rom it would lock on almost immediately.
Any recommendations/ideas?
I resolved the issue. Must have been something happening with Google Maps. I went to Menu | Options | Reset Google Maps and when it restarted, it zoomed in on my location right away.

I am using New updated HTC rom and Satellite wont lock while moving it will lock when you stop. using iGuidance v4.0 and Google maps. (my software works fine with external Holux Gps). any one having same problem or may be my GPS chip has a problem ? (tired hard reset, change locations)
I found this on the http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=153883&page=19 website
HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPLAGPS/GPSMode
Change to 4 (orginal value 2)
seems to have worked for me.
with internet I am now getting satellites indoor!
Thanks to Lecithin who posted it.
i just updated this. still waiting to find some results. keeping my fingers crossed.
btw im using the alltel rom so we will see if there is a diff
I was having the same issue. Installed quickGPS and it worked.
I recently upgraded my Google Mpas (I was prompted inside Google Maps) and now it doesn't seem to work as well as it used to.
I am using the DCD 2.2.0 ROM for my Titan.
What happens is now it will say "seeking satellites (0)" and "GPS Active (0)" and not find any satellites. Usually it shows me as in the middle of the ocean some where. Sometimes it will flash between "GPS Active (5)" and "GPS Active (0)", but still won't work. Like I said, it was fine before I upgraded Google Maps (about 2 weeks ago). Anyone have any ideas what's causing this?
Just did the google map update today and seems to work fine.. Took a long time to get a lock but once it did it was right on.
I am using verizon and DCD 3.04...
I just upgraded to that Rom my self on my Telus P4000 , did you remember to put the GPS Hardware on Com5? cus i know mine turned itself off once i just set it back to Com5 and it worked perfectly again, and that problem never happen again...
Hopfuly this helps, if not, im sorry, i tried lol ^_~.V cheers

mine did same thing - a soft-reset fixed all the issues, google now works great
I had issues with this as well. I went and set the location setting to off (911 only) then clicked ok. And then I went back in and turned location settings back on and it started working again.
make sure location settings are ON. also, try a few COM ports, 4 and 5 work for me, but 3 is by far the best port on my phone.
From what is posted on this site...Gps is supposed to be set at com 4 at 4800....Gps works will alot better if "primed" with other software before starting map applications...such software is gpsviewer , wififofum , visualgpsce (my recommedation)

im on the newest DCD rom 3.2.xx on the Telus HTC P4000 , i upgraded to the new google maps 2.1.xx and works just fine for me , your DCD rom is pritty dated now, might wana look in to upgrading it ^_^ hope i helps a bit
Agreed, check location setting
Start->Settings->Phone->Services Tab->Location Settings. Turn to "on" That's what happened on my titan when I upgraded. Took me 2 hours to figure it out.
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.
Whenever I start Google Navigation, either from maps or on it's own, I keep getting the message 'waiting for location' and 'searching for gps', even though my gps is locked. I have tried clearing map data and cache then starting again, but am still getting the same problem.
I have no problems using Google maps and getting a gps lock.
My nexus 7 has just been updated to v4.1.2 and is rooted and unlocked with no custom recovery installed. Everything is still on stock too.
Can anyone help?
Thankyou.
Would it be because I am rooted?
I have been googling with no success
Rooting is not the problem as I have used it and gotten it to work. Since the N7 has no data connection and probably no wifi connection while you're out you would need to have the map area cached.

I've only tried to use it indoors with my wifi (my gps locks on indoors fine). I can't get past the 'waiting for location' message. I'm sure it worked fine before I rooted and unlocked it using wug.
Are you on 4.1.2? Just wondering if that's causing the problem.
Everything else works fine.
How weird!! Google Earth wouldn't find my location either so I re-booted my Nexus (yet again) and now Navigation has started working along with Google Earth!
I had already re-booted my nexus several times before, but nothing changed, so I don't know what happened this time to make things work properly?
Peace has been restored.... for now!

I am having the same problem but I am not rooted and rebooting doesn't help. With GPS on (confirmed with GPS Test), if I do not have WiFi available I cannot get location info in Maps (but I can in CoPilot). I have tried rebooting several times.

Has anyone else noticed the maps app and the nav app not registering the gps signal? I checked the GPS with gps essentials and it works fine but the maps app and navigation don't get the signal. The gps icon shows locked on in the toolbar but says "waiting for location" in the nav app? This was working fine right before I did the 4.2 update..
Just updated along with 30 other app updates and don't have a problem with this.

Yes is all over the place...
Navigator starts and has a GPS fix on my location in less than 10 seconds. Under 4.1.2, it just kept searching. Maps worked, Navigator didn't. Seems our problem was ass-backwards.

All GPS apps working as should on the setup in my Sig. They also worked fine when I was on 4.2 Stock rooted and the stock kernel.

That could be why mine now works. I when to 4.2 (from Trinity kernel), I went to stock 4.11.... Then to 4.2. Never thought that doing a clean install may have been what "cured" my problem. BTW...the only app that didn't work was Google Nav. Go figure.

My maps works if I have the Wi-Fi location source enabled but I want the GPS as the source, so only that is enabled and maps just searches as does navigation but if I open gps essentials with only gps enabled it works fine and gets at last five satellite real quick. Then I switch right to maps with a gps lock already established and it acts like gps is non-existent.. boo 4.2! I used this navigation app a lot damn it

Exactly what I saw after the 4.1.2 updare. A hard reset was needed to fix it.
I wiped and installed the factory 4.2 image to fix it. Drastic, but effective.

I am currently having this issue on the 4.2.1 update. Sygic seems to navigate fine, and my GPS toolbox says the same.. but navigation and maps totally fails (for a few seconds, maps placed me hundreds of feet off, but now it shows nothing..
I have the same issue on my GSM Galaxy Nexus with 4.2. Locus and others apps work just fine, but Google Maps and Navigation don't use gps. But at top bar, there is an icon show me that gps was fixed...

This did the same thing to me also after the 4.1.2 update and 4.2.1. Tried to find a fix for it both times and never could. Had to do a hard reset both times.
4.2.1 broke GPS in offline GMaps
I updated my N7 OTA to 4.2.1 from unrooted 4.2 yesterday and just noticed that GPS no longer works in Google Maps offline. The GPS icon obtains a fix as well as GPS Test app confirms satellite fix. But in Maps, it goes from "waiting for location" to "...unavailable".
My N7 was previously rooted under 4.1.2 before I went to 4.2. I performed a factory reset under 4.2 and kept it unrooted. I can't confirm whether I tried to use GPS Maps offline after going to 4.2.
Between the shortened battery life under 4.2 and now the inability to use GPS offline, I'm seriously debating about reverting back to a clean 4.1.2 and start over.
Did the update yesterday and after reading this thread I downloaded a couple of GPS apps and tried Google Maps with wifi sources turned off. No problems finding signal and getting a lock quickly. Mind you, I have a stock OS, no root as I just bought my N7 on Saturday.

Sadly, I am not rooted either, but right now, maps is hosed. Mind you, given that this is a WiFi tablet, it isn't huge ( I prefer 3rd party solutions more), but this is still something that shouldn't happen..
There's something in common you guys have, something to figure out... because GPS/Maps/Navigation etc is fine on my N7 on 4.2.. I haven't seen 4.2.1 yet.
edit: Just got 4.2.1, GPS is still fine. Holds sats, Google nav is happy, etc.
