I installed a custom ROM a few days back and it was working fine for a while then I had a problem where Home button did not function & Lock screen did not appear.
I found a fix to this problem here on XDA in the below thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246439
The original problem got fixed but after this I am not able to enable GPS at all, any attempt to enable GPS is giving me FC, don't know what's the reason for it.
If anyone has seen similar problem & were able to fix, please can you share the solution.
Thank you,
John

I've encountered a problem with 2 seperate TouchHD's...I use Google Mobile Maps and all works fine. Then a few days later the GPS (internal) no longer responds.
I've soft reset, tried the HTC GPS tool, etc. Nothing...GPS dead. If I hard reset it comes alive again...
I tried flashing to the .25.25 Radio ROM but the problem remains. Does anyone have a solution? Hard resetting every few days is getting tiresome.
where do you try?
mine never work indoors only outside and in my car
It's not a problem of no satellites - the problem is that the software can't communicate with the GPS chip.
Even the HTC GPS Tool can't open the GPS port...no response. I tried TomTOm and it says "No GPS device". Lots of soft resets etc, no difference.
After a hard reset, all software can see the GPS again
Very strange
luckely i don't have such problems, I hope somebody can help you with your problem
I have had similar issues with other devices, unfortunately the GPS Chipset in HD is known to be a little buggy, also the Touch HD is still quite new and more stable firmware and drivers are bound to help,
Try a port splitting app like GPS Gate etc even just to check the GPS itself.
It could also be conflicting third party apps/tweaks especially seeing it comes back to life after HR. Check power saving mode, this can disable GPS as the battery get low same as the Phone Module. I have to say my HD GPS has been perfect with Tomtom no issue at all so its not out of the question that your device is faulty.
I had some issues like that because of a somewhat defect microSD
changed it and that fixed it
I had the same problem, then did a hard reset and com port 4 works again.
Easier solution is to disable and then reenable the Comm Manager options you have turned on. I noticed if Blue Tooth is on then it can cause an issue. I no longer have the problem since I turned off bluetooth by default, which is also a good safety tip!
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. It's not always, but after some days (2, 3 weeks) the GPS becomes dead. If I hard reset the GPS comes alive again.
Could it be a hardware problem on my device? I still suspect that is some application I install. Does anyone has a clue or a pattern on the applications installation and GPS stop working?
The last applications I installed and GPS stopped working was WM6VoIP and the Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3. Still trying to figure it out.
I have ROM 1.14.410.0 (24011) PTG
Radio: 1.09.25.14
Regards
I had the same problem when I installed second today.
Hard reset and problem gone but thats not the solution I think ...
to be sure there is no hw fault, maybe you can use your hd for a while with no extra software installed, except fixes and navigation software
if the problem still occur, then go to the htc service with it.
if not, you will have to have a lot of patience to find out wich application or setting cause the problem, but, at least, you'll know is not the device
Yes, I must do that. I already hard reset three times. For every app installed I always check GPS signal. It hasn't been critical but I'm afraid it may be hw fault. Let's hope not.
When I have some time I'll try WM6VoIP and the Advanced Configuration Tool again. I'll report to you later.
Thanks
Just in case someone has the same problem...
I finally found the cause of my GPS death. After installing WM6VoIP.cab the GPS is no longer recognized by any GPS software.

Hey peeps,
yesterday my mDJ froyo 4.1 decided to give me trouble so i deleted it and installed the newest 4.6, now i know i'd rather post this in the 4.6 thread but i could'nt find anything related to my issue there, has anyone ever encountered this issue? once i unlock the phone the bluetooth automatically turns itself on
anyone?! this is driving me nuts here.. i'v checked the BT settings in WinMo too, thought maybe the BT is on overthere and causing it to turn on in android but no.. its off, i use flight mode in WinMo.. i'v noticed two services appearing when unlocking the device, one is called Bloutooth share, and the other BrcmBluetoothServices, ofcourse i ended them but they keep turning on when i turn the screen on
Hi All,
I have problem with turn over sensor. I had this sensor on, and anytime when I received voice call phone stoped ringing and vibrating (only shows on screen that someone is calling me). But its doing it at random times.
When I switched off this sensor everything is fine. Phone is ringing....
I think, that is problem of sensor in my device.. Or it is software bug.
Thanks for your interest.
nobody?????
Try to recalibrate your accelerometer and Gyrosensor
Settings -> Display -> Bottom two ones
still the same... but when calls me one my friend (I tried to call me from his mobile) everything is OK.... It might be some thing in contact.. some information.. I dont know.. Or this sensor...
to be continue...
hello
i got the same problem, i can't pass "turn over" test
i wonder if it's hardware or software problem, i just put it in my shop lab and i hope 2 get more info about it.
I'd like to know please if there is another users with similar phenomenon and were able to overcome that issue, ty
Testing Mode?
Try the gyroscope test:
Start the standard phone app
type in *#0*# as you would a phone number. This brings you into testing mode, select gyroscope and have a look at the numbers.
There are also test modes: Settings -> Motion -> Tutorial
fix
The device was replaced in the store where it was purchased, everything is fine now.
i don't have the info of who or what was the problem.
ty for the tip arabbitte, too late 4 me
Thanks
Hello,
thanks, I tried to test by graph, and everything seems OK. I dont understand it...
Same problem here
Hello,
I have the same problem as PetoG, I think it is a problem with the sensor working with the vibration on. As tested on my sgs2, when I turn off the "turn over" or the "vibration" options one at a time, everything works as expected.
@ fatalit7, thanks for your reply but I think your issue was that the sensor was not working at all.
I am very much interested in any solutions to this problem.. And if it is really a hardware problem, guess we can only try to change the phone.
Thanks and regards
Hi kayamemet,
after update on 2.3.4 is everything OK. It seems it is solved. I have to test several times.
Still does not work
I've updated to 2.3.4 (xxkh3).
After several tries the problem persist. Quite annoying really.
So "vibration" is the enemy of "turn over" :S.
Any new remarks?
I've updated to XWKI8, still not good ...
anyone? anything?
ok, I've also tried the tutorial mode and it is also bad. It detects a turn over while it is laying down and vibrating.
Id really appreciate any "intel" on this matter, I'm kind of desperate.
Thanks
I am experiencing the classic RILJ wake lock associated with GPS and Network location.
Turning off Google's location reporting in the Google settings resolves the issue without disabling GPS.
The problem appears to stem from some bad GPS code but can't confirm.
While on vacation away from WiFi the wake lock got stuck getting a Location fix, because GPS never enabled to get the fix.
It doesn't seem to be a modem issue. I have tried every modem available for the find 5.
I am fairly new to the forum so I don't have enough posts to report this to the developer on the Paranoid Android thread.
Can someone perhaps report the issue on that forum. And or provide a link to this trouble shooting.
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
I started seen this weird overlay notification when I turn on/off the WiFi it toggle the Hotspot. The text in the notification reads like this:
Active Type : WIFI, Work: YES
Mobile Type : MOBILE, Work: YES
Wifi Type : WIFI, Work: YES
I'm attaching a screenshot as well. Yesterday I did a factory reset and the issue is still there. But I recovered from the saved backup so maybe whatever is causing it (a setting or and app?) was recovered after.
Anyone seen this or knows what it is?
Thanks!
Found the answer at another thread in androidcentral. Posting it here in case it helps someone else.
You're a legend Xeon1!!! I can't beleive I did a factory reset for this, I thought it was me as I had been playing around with the Developer Mode options. I uninstalled the mydlink Baby Camera Monitor app and the issue is resolved, the overlay notification is gone! I still have the mydlink Lite app installed which does pretty much the same thing and this one does not cause that issue.
Thanks!
