Hi Everyone,
Ok I also drop my phone like everyone else. recently i dropped (a small one) it but I didn't notice anything wrong, everything worked fine. I turned off my bluetooth so I can connect my speaker to another device. Ever since I cannot turn on my bluetooth nor wifi (only wifi rarely comes and goes). And I do have more problems, and the list is
*proximity sensor is not working
*gyroscope is not working (auto screen rotation)
*data dropping
*calls get scrambled noise
*and the gps went haywire
Steps I took-
Complete wipe out and hard reset to factory.
banging on the table
(apparently none of them worked)
Is this a software problem or hardware problem? If it's a hardware issue how come all the components went crazy like that.
Any solution will be appreciated.
Thanks and cheers!!

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.

I seam to have solved my own problem. On the top of the phone there is a proximity sencer to tell the phone how close it is to an object. I think that when your screen locks it uses the senser to tell if it is in your pocket. I made my own screen gard and realised the plastic was oven the sencer making the phone think its still in my pocket. After trimming the sheet and switching wifi of and then on again. It seams to have fixed the problem.
The senser also locks the screen when you make a call and there is nothing you can do to unlock it again or end the call.
So... searched pretty much a month now for a solution, so don't flame me if I missed it ..
About 2 months with OPT, and pretty much a working phone on Oxygen 2.1.2 but it is unparallel to my OPO when it comes to OS with Cyanogen, in terms of beauty and speed. Yes, my OPO with less power under the hood works better than my OPT.
Tries Exodus ROM (CM12.1) and it is the one I like, but.. my BT doing all sort of funny stuff.. It turn itself off (symbol disappears from top of the phone) at random times. Events that kill BT are a phone call, deep sleep, and probably other events.
Rebooting the phone fixes it for up to 10 minutes. But obviously I am not going to boot the phone every time I need to use BT. I have a Moto 360 , a car audio , a headset, and a radar detector in the car connecting to my phone over BT. So pretty much I need BT on and up all day long...
What I discovered is if I clear data from Bluetooth share (setting->apps->all-> Bluetooth Share) my BT comes alive for a while again, so something in CM12.1 is messing it up. Obviously , I can't clear data every 10 minutes either... Not manually, anyways..
Just think every time I am getting to the car i need to clear data to hook the phone to the car. As soon as I do, the connection will stay on until I am done driving... and then drops again when BT in the car turns of, in few minutes. Really annoying.
The main problem is the Moto 360. It became a useless smart watch without the BT on the phone. Running it on wi-fi just kills the watch's battery, so that is not an option either...
Anyone else is in the same situation, or better, found a work around ? Somehow i can't seem to find anyone else with this issue.
Thanks,
BigE
Yes I have the same BT problem on my op2 with OOS 2.1.2 in car.
Nearly unusable audio (only phone function connects), audio (if it sometime works) don't stop during incoming call, phone book is not probably synced...
Impossible to fix it on my own! Oneplus must do that.
I hope with marshmallow will something fixed.

*update* the latest update from AT&T this month seems to have fixed the auto-rotate function. I have had no issues regarding this problem since applying the update!
Trying to see who else has had this problem and has been able to find any common occurrences behind this mysterious issue.
I can sometimes go quite awhile before the auto rotate stops working but I don't normally turn the phone to landscape unless I'm viewing photos or looking at a video or maybe some websites that aren't mobile optimized.
Toggling the portrait rotate icon from the drop down does not fix the issue. So far the only way to get rotate working is to reboot android completely. I've had a theory that maybe my magnetic car mount is somehow messing with the sensor in the phone or the calibration of the unit but I've used the same magnet mount with my G3 and never had these issues. also sometimes when navigating GPS it will ask me to calibrate the phone and fly it thru the air in a figure 8 but I'll do that like an idiot and the calibration screen never goes away. I've also used the built in diagnostics inside the settings that check all the sub functions of the phone and everything is apparently working without issue!
..... starting to wonder why I even got this phone.
at&t hasn't even started my 50% off bill credits yet for this device...

You are not alone. Mine did this yesterday. I had to reboot it to fix it. I do not use a magnetic mount but I do use wireless charging stations and I think they have a small magnet. I have done this for months though and so far the auto-rotate glitch has only happened 2 times.
I have had the same issues. But a reboot won't always fix it me.
problem resolved
latest update patch from AT&T seems to have fully resolved the issue of auto screen rotation not functioning. it now works 100% of the time and is even faster at recognizing when the device has been tilted to and from landscape/portrait
I think the 8.1 is a great update with everything flying along. I have one little annoyance though: my Bluetooth speaker is fine playing something (which is the main thing) but after I switch it on and before I start playing anything on the phone, it keeps bleeping that it has disconnected then reconnects again a few seconds later. My smartwatch is doing the same thing: vibrating that it has disconnected then reconnects again a few seconds later. Bit annoying & never experienced this before update. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing that?
Have you tried going into Developer Mode and Changing Bluetooth versions? There are several choices!
No I haven't. I'll try that thank you. Do you know what version it was before? Worked perfectly for me. Cheers.

I'm experiencing something similar to what you're describing. When I connect my AirPods they keep on playing the connected sound, as though they're reconnecting over and over.
Well, I tried changing the Bluetooth version (AVRCP whatever that means!) and I've only tried it once this morning but so far so good and it hasn't been connecting/disconnecting at all. I changed it from 1.4 to 1.6 just by guesswork but thanks to poster who suggested that.
As I said, only day 1 but I'll report if anything changes.
On another topic, I use a Garmin sports watch which has smartphone features. It works absolutely perfectly all the time while showing up in the phone's bluetooth settings as being permanently disconnected.?
wow this fixed my BT issues!!!
