I flashed my device to the Stock 1.66 ROM (Norwegian); I have HSPL 1.42 and I got some problems with the GPS. In Sense UI i can update the weather as normal but the GPS doesn't work in any other software. I have tried iGO8, tomtom 7 and GPSCycleComputer, with no luck at all! I also tried the gps mod driver at com 3 and I have tried all configurations in the GPS settings; all COM's and transfer speeds. But it doesnt detects my GPS hardware! Please help
umm. I don't think it's the GPS hardware that's giving you the problem, i haven't personally tried iGo or TomTom, but aGPS works fine for me.

Just so you know, the weather and location stuff doesn't use GPS. It uses your network. I can also confirm that the problem doesn't like with the ROM as I too have 1.66 and it works fine for me. The problem must lie elsewhere.
Sorry I can't be of any actual help, but I can confirm that it should be working.

Thankyou. I was familiar with it when it used to require some kind of intervention, like on my Diamond or HD, but I've never had to interact with it at all on the HD2 and just forgot all about it lol.
Thanks
QuickGPS doesnt work The update finishes, but it's always expired!
Hi all,
Im new to the g1 and am having a problem.
I cant get my gps to locate any satellites, I am using a rooted and unlocked g1 with no data plan and just want to use gps and not agps. I know there are satellites around as I can find them with my other cell (lg incite using just the gps and not agps). I thought it might be the rom so I flashed 3 different ones with no luck on either and Ive been searching the net and on here but cant really find any help. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance
It has taken up to 10 minutes for my phone to find satellites without the data connection to assist. How long did you wait for connection?

Yikes! Have you tried in a different app? I don't really think it would make a huge difference, but weirder things have happened.
Ive tried 3 different ones with no luck. Allthough I did use google sky maps but I dont know if that was using the gps or not.

What ROM are you runnning? Radio? Rooted? Can you capture a logcat (alogcat from the market makes log capturing easy)?

Its rooted and running 2.1 but Ive flashed 4 different roms from 1.5 to 2.1 and none of them can pick up the gps signal. I will try the alogcat and post back.
I am having this problem too. Without data the G1 seems useless for GPS. Rarely it would get GPS lock. I had to put back on data and now gps lock is quick and reliable.
Hi to all, today i installed the 3.1 Stock ROM rooted wtih CWM and now i have the 4.010.05 COM GEN 1.
All perfect, i use it for 1 hour, but only the GPS have some problems to fix location.
With Honeycomb 3.0.1 I had the same problem but I thought that version 3.1 would solve it.
The GPS in this Tablet is a real hardware problem or software problem????
I must contact ACER to change my tablet with a new Iconia Tab A500???
Where is the problem with GPS????
Help me please.
Bye

A few seconds of actually scrolling down the forum page would have found you this...
I applied this update last night and had the same gps issue.
FYI, Although root is there, busybox is not....
My gps fix was to install faster fix (busybox required) from the market, loaded and locked in under 10 seconds.
Everything works great so far.....
Ok i copied the HD2 file "Gps.conf" in "Europe.zip" and seem that work indoor after a Reboot in recovery and Delete Cache and Delete Dalvik Cache.
This evening I test in car with Sygic and i tell if work.
My Iconia A500 has rooted and have Busybox and CMW.
I must use Faster Fix or not????
Thanks.
P.S.
The GPS problems is a software issue not an corrupt hardware module, it's right?

Since fasterfix simply replaces your existing gps.conf, you can always roll back to your existing if you have a copy. I would give it a try, cant hurt.
Ok this evening i try Iconia A500 in my car witg Sygic Gps Navigation.
The fix work but the signal isnt constant and sometimes it lost position and fix after few seconds, i dont know why!!!!!!
Now at my home outdoor the fix is slow after 3 hours without gps activity, Google Maps at start show me a wrong position, it give me the position of my parents house, why???
It's normal?
My Nexus one is more quickly and stable of this Gps and i think that this Tablet isnt a good solution for car navigation.
Any suggestions to solve my Gps problems???
Thanks

My 100% fix, bluetooth gps tether your Nexus One to your tab and use its signal, that is what I do. This tablet has poor gps performance, the N1 is excellent.

On the tablet, Bluetooth GPS Mouse works the best as a client, I use Bluetooth GPS Output by Meowsbox on my Nexus One.

Yes, Sygic is my GPS app of choice as well, and this works with the newer releases.
About the gps i can confirm that while i was running virtous rom asus based 1.08 my gps was blazing fast I mean 10 found 10 fixed on gps essentials.. now with stock rom i still get a fix within 30 seconds but i only see 5 or 6 sats and lock on 2 or 3 so ..i would assume software is the problem or some app interferes with gps ....
I decided to use the solution of daveid and work perfectly in car.
One only thing, i must set 100% of screen brightness to see it during the day with sun or there is a lot of reflections....any solutions???

Make sure you select a country/region and set it which should be reflected in the 'current status' dialog.... Its not harmful but good for me may not be for your area of the world?????
PS make sure you have busybox installed before you run fasterfix, required....

I have problem that GPS doesn't work (inside and outside) at all, once I updated my Tsunami from 1.2 to 1.5. is there something that I can do?
I use Tsunami 1.5, and I don't have any problems with GPS. Try to use wireless connection and GPS together, this will help to fix faster.

I enabled both of them together already, but got still this problem. I'm wundering that Google Map can track my position on the Map, but all other Apps (even GPS Test) fail to initialize the GPS.
even clear and update AGPS and reboot didn't help.

UPDATE: GPS is working again !!
The only problem is the AccuWeather Widget which doesn't accept GPS Position nor an entered city.

Yes this is a bug, I think. now I use Go Weather EX
Thank you, going to install it.
Can anyone confirm whether the Axon 7 has Beidou as well as GPS and GLONASS for location accuracy? This can be confirmed using the AndroiTS GPS app and looking to see if US, Russian and Chinese flags appear.
And compass?
Yes it has Beidou, i see 2 satellites here in austria.

Affirmative on the compass.
Though my gps lags behind, all sensors seems to be working great.

well, when I'm driving, the gps will often loose location and show the messages "waiting for gps signal". Maybe every 1000 mts or so.
Its a little annoying, but its bearable, and I think that it could be fixed with a software update.

Have you posted anything about GPS issues? I'm wondering if this is a pervasive problem. I'm considering this phone, but I must have good GPS.
