Oh kay... I really hope I don't get yelled at for not searching or something but I can't find anything and I seriously need help. I have the 3.42.50(I think) radio and OMJ's Custom Verizon Rom and I just can't get a lock. I've tried thousands of tutorials and haven't had any luck. On my current flash I've used this tutorial, and haven't gotten a lock. I don't know what I'm doing wrong... I'm pretty desperate. ANY help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
First, to make sure you have the updated radio (which you probably do) go to start/settings/system/Device Information and check there to make sure.
I wish I had had such a detailed set of instructions to follow when I was setting up my US Cellular Vogue. I had to patch together instructions from 3 different sources to make it work. Of course it works, yours doesn't. Are you outside when you are trying to get at least your initial lock. When I first lock on I generally have to be outside, after it is once locked on I can go inside and it will retain a lock.
Check for my Tips thread, basic info on setting it up is there.

oh kay... sorry for the delayed response... anyway... i do have the updated radio and i dont think i've ever tried it outside... :-\ i have tried it standing right next to a glass door... also, should i be messing with the baud rate at all while trying to get a lock?... im not sure wat to do after i open GPS Viewer... i set the Com port to 4 and then i open GPS... is that all i have to do?...
and... can u send me a link to those tips TheChampJT? im bad at navigating forums... :-\
Have you ever run the MR1 on your phone? This would block third party apps from accessing your gps. If this is the case, you need to down grade to a none gps rom, the upgrade.

I might have... would a radio version be able to tell u if this is my problem?... my radio is currently 3.42.50... I did notice my radio version changed after the update so i just used cokes rom to flash it back and started using another rom...
If it came with verizon WM 6.1 or you flashed verizon WM 6.1 and let costumizations run, then you found your problem. Maybe if you tell use what you have done with it since you got it, it might be easier to diagnos.

I used this reported "Leaked Official Verizon Rom". IT WORKS!
ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Verizon/RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship.exe
You run it and allow it to customize and wahla...updated WM6.1 and the GPS works!
Gps has to be configured to use Com 4.
Use HTC Titan Quick GPS to updated satellite empiricals (GPS position data). I get cold fixes in 15 seconds indoors! Download it from: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4914&d=1201747040
You will have to do a "Over the Air" reprogram via *228, I think its option 2.
I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS WITH THE NEW ROM AND EASY AS PIE TO INSTALL!
Darn GPS is pretty dam close. I get 29foot accuracy 98.5% of the time!
ozzzzzzz,
did you change the location setting under phone settings? I forgot to check this and finally figured to look there.
Go to settings / personal / phone-----then hit services and select settings for location. Make sure that 911 is not selected. May be simple issue with that.

aGPS on Verison w\Radio 3.37.78 and NFSFAN's Cusom WM6.5
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=939180
KCDale99 Posted this, couple weeks ago, it still works people.!!!!!!!!........
I justreceived a new XV6900 in the mail today when mine suffered a hardwarefailure of some sort. The new phone came with the newest ROM whichincludes the 3.37.78 radio. Of course I turn on the phone, and updatesrun. This disabled the GPS even after loading a custom ROM. the aGPSfix would not work, and gps Viewer couldn't even find one satellite.
Ifigured this was just like an old, 'let the customizations run'problem. So I followed the steps found here with one exception:
<!-- m -->http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?titl ... ERIZON_GPS<!-- m -->
Onstep 4, I ran the RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78_ShipOfficial ROM from Verizon. I did NOT let customizations run. I thenloaded my custom ROM. This puts me on the official Verizon radio.
After that, the aGPS fix worked like a charm and GPS is working.
Iknow this is a rehash of other issuew, but I wanted to let everyoneknow that the newest phones shipping are disabling GPS all together.
THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE!!!!!!! been at this for a week now with absolutely no luck until now this guy has it.................. 5-31-09
I used NFSFAN's custom ROM WM6.5v8 for my custom rom.
the only other thing i had to do is when i was done installing ROM's my phone would not authenticate on Verizon network, so instead of calling them i use the online MY Verison to activate my phone to a old Verizon i760 then re-activated my xv6900 online ordered (verizon) a week ago !!! I have tried every fix, etc... until this combo... except i never went to the leaked verizon radio been to the bell, us cellular, alltel, verzon, etc... and back again..... now it works...... with the fix this guy posted......QPST ip info fom the fix page, links all seem to work!
Again********THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE
XV6900 CAME STOCK ABOUT A WEEK AGO!!!
YOur first link is to reply to another thread, your second link takes me to the wiki main page, so no information on both whatsoever....

I'm with this guy... Except, I'm worse off. I can't even get a lock in GPS Viewer. It finds the satellites, but does not lock.
I did whole unlock 0.40 to Sprint ROM to unlock 2.31 to VZW ROM, then straight to WM6.5V12, then I did the aGPS hack with QPST, and even tried cody's fix in his FAQ thread. I spent all yesterday morning trying to get GPS working, and I've got nothing to show for it. I'm so f'n pissed right now!

Nope. The only time I let customizations run was when I installed WM6.5.
I did the Coke .40, Sprint (no-run), Coke 2.31, Verizon (no-run), NSFANS WM6.5 (run) and then his two verizon cabs and finished with the aGPS hack with QPST. I used the Telus fix, but should I have used a different one?
I was able to get GPS (with locks after a few minutes outside). I don't think I am getting aGPS, though.
Doesn't aGPS help when you are moving or inside? I think that you would get faster locks (especially the first time) if aGPS is working.
BTW, that routine killed my voice line and SMS with a #8899 notification. Verizon networking is still working.
Todd you'll have to call Verizon and have them re-authorize your phone. The same thing happened to me when I tried that fix.

I will. That office is closed until Sunday. While I am waiting I am trying other methods and options.
I am currently on a Coke .40, Verizon ROM 3.14.605.1 Radio 3.37.77 (no-cust), Coke 2.31, Verizon ROM 3.14.605.1 Radio 3.37.77 (w/cust) followed by QuickGPS. This lets me see satellites and gets me fully back on a Verizon radio. (I will still have to call #8899 when their office opens)
Can anyone match up ROM versions with the MR1, MR2 designations? Is 3.37.78 MR1?

first you should run gps veiwer and get a lock before you open google maps.

hey this has happened to me also!
from a similar and different problem.
at first, after a hard reset, the gps doesnt work well also it keeps searching until failed for several times. then i go for quick gps. wa-la there you go! then after i got the gps signal, the quick gps app said the data is expired so i had to download again and i did. after i finished downloading, the gps signal vanished completely.
for 2 days i tried to get the gps signal but it always failed miserably.
then on weekend, i`went to the hills, in one of the restaurant there i tried the gps again, and in just 3 seconds i got the signal!!! when i went back home, the gps has worked again until now.
i still dont know what exactly happen thou, but it might help to go to a higher ground to find a fix.
Try download the NEW version 3.2.0 Google Map at m.google.com from you device.
Choose Google Map. Download it and install... Give it a try~
Or check if you have FM Radio installed. If you have it, uninstall it and try again
Thanks For the replys i really appreciate them..
i installed new version of google maps
3.2.0 at least now it shows my location
within 80 meters.. before was within 200...
but still keep saying seeking GPS satellites..
about the FM radio.. that came installed with the phone..
so i dont think i can unistalled it...
thanks any ways..
Hi there,
I got a problem with my gps device, too. WinMo don't seem to recognize the device.

Guys I know this has been covered in other threads and I've searched for hours, reading every thread I can, and I still cannot come up with a fix for this.
I am running a Tmobile Branded Touch Pro2, unlocked, hard SPL of course, with EnergyROM Photon Standard WM6.5 v 20091011 which is very slick by the way. My radio is version 4.49.25.05.
For whatever reason "My Location" doesn't work and Weather does not download. I have checked all the obvious things like making sure autoupdate is set, location service is on, etc etc. As a side note, Google Maps seems to locate me just fine, Bing is flaky at best.
Any thoughts???
Known issue. It doesn't work in custom roms.
If I load the Standard TMobile ROM that I saw posted here for the Touch Pro2 will My Location start working again?
Is there a way to go back to the shipped radio version as well?
this has been discussed many times...my location for some reason does not work on 3g even with the stock rom...but it will work when u switch to edge..just try it out..

First of all it does work in custom roms -- it's working on my phone and mine is a custom rom. Many people have posted about how with this cooked rom or what that new radio-rom that now My location works. But, that doesn't mean it's guaranteed to work -- just that it can work.
And, believe it or not, mine only works when I have a 3G connection...I don't know why, but it's true -- tested again and again.
I'm currently running the Photon Oct-11 manila2.l OS-rom with the 4.49.25.17 radio rom.
One accurate way to put it is: Try this, try that...and -- depending on where you live, maybe...it might work! Good Luck!
I've flashed a few different ROMs and noticed the My Location can never update to my real location. Is it because it's not supposed to work in the US?
i am having the same problem in atlanta. its never updating.
Mine was working in atlanta today, what ROM are you using? I currently have EnergyROM Leo Manilla 2.5
You need to have google maps installed, and have it zoomed in on your location. It works fine for me in Sacramento, California. It still doesn't update very frequently for weather though, so I added Sacramento to the weather tab and changed the home clock to use that instead of my current location.
And for future reference, threads like these should ideally be posted in the Rhodium Themes, Applications, and Software forum, as this doesn't have to do with ROM development, but rather with software.
im on Fusion V5.2 Sense 2.1 ATT
figured it out
there's a work around for this, what you do is you go and set your location by adding a city, then make sure it's the selected one, and that will be your default location...and it should update..
mine does not find it in big city....but it does in small town where its roaming and G connection! but it sometimes works with wifi...i have figured that part out yet!
I had problems as well Locking on into my location. I'm using a AT&T Tilt 2 but i decided to try the latest radio 4.49.25.17 and after that it locked instantly!!
As post #4 mentioned, try loading up google maps and go to your location. At first it didn't work for me either, but after using google maps, started working properly.
When you first run google maps, it asks you for permission to use the my location service. My guess is that you need to agree to that first before it'll work.

I always cook google maps in my ROM. But I have had it working without any google maps one time. Ofcourse radio does help I think. But I do have 4.49.25.17, and it did get better, but didnt do it all the time!
I can not get mine to work with my Tilt 2 and have tried everything mentioned above..
I have had the same problems with most of the Diamond Roms also with that same feature.
The only Rom that it has worked is on my Diamond running 6.1 SUN Y MANILA 2.5. Have no clue to why it works with that specific Rom and not with others.

I get that connection error when I attempt to connect using WiFi. But all the other cities get updated.
SOLVED
This worked for me...
Home page.
Select alarm (just above where is says "calendar").
Select the tab on the left "World Clock"
Set your location to your home town (this assumes you have already added it to the "weather")
It should now work.
@tsadek
That worked for me also using a TD2, Thanks
That's not fixing the problem. it's just using the city you manually entered. it's not fixing the My Location bug.
ok, perhaps "solved" was a bit ambitious.
more of a "work around" then.

Guys, that hasn't solved anything. You are just selecting your city directly and asking to have that information shown on your Home Screen. My Location on the other hand is more useful to people who travel a lot. It's supposed to lock in on whatever city you are in and display the appropriate information as per.
Hope we can have this sorted out soo.
So far the only suggestion that seems credible is to change the Radio. I'm going to try that and see if it works.
BTW, does anybody know how it zeroes in on your location (what city you are in)? Does it use GPS to do that?
I can think of only 2 ways as to how this works.
1) It get the coordinates via GPS and then sends it out to Google / Accuweather and get the appropriate city name and weather stats.
2) Figures out where you are based on your IP address.

Well duh its not working! The new 'my location' feature in the latest versions of Manila are designed to work with the newest Radios.
Flash either the radio from the:
4.49.25.05 from the TMO UK WinMo6.5 ROM
or
4.49.25.17 from the Worldwide HTC WinMo 6.5 ROM
For all Rhodium Radio info look here
You will be safe flashing either of these radios. It works just like flashing a ROM.
There we go, 'my location' problem fixed.
I have a TP2 which has been good as gold since I bought it about six months ago, but now trying to use GPS for the first time I cannot get a signal. Can anyone please assist?
TomTom 7 and Google Maps; Neither program is complaining that it cannot find GPS, it's just that GPS does not pick up any signal.
Under QuickGPS I've got everything ticked and agreed to! I've also manually updated it three times now.
Under "External GPS" settings I've tried COM4 and COM0 and baud rates 4800 and 9600. I'm now settled with COM4 and baud rate 4800 (with corresponding settings in TomTom) and I can confirm that the GPS device is certainly recognised, because if I change the settings or if I select a different GPS device in TomTom I get "No GPS device!", whereas with correct settings I get "Waiting for a valid GPS signal".
Likewise Google Maps sits for ever showing "Seeking GPS Satelites (0)...".
I've just come back from a day visiting friends in London. For half of the 45-minute journey there I had the phone sitting on the dashboard with TomTom open, and for the second half Google maps, and then the same again for the 45-minute journey home, and not once at any point did I pick up any satellite signal.
Can anyone please offer any suggestions?
Many thanks.
Could possibly be a bad GPS unit in your phone. There is an HTC GPS Tool available on the boards here that you can try and test with. I'll do a search for you in once sec.
One quick thing to double-check, in Settings | System | ABPS Settings > Make sure you've got the AGPS Service turned on.
ETA: Here's the thread where you can download the GPS Tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360477
I'd be very grateful, thanks.
ABPS Settings? What's that?! I have no such setting under Settings/System! (I'm running WM 6.5 pro)
GPS is new to me, and while clearly a nice little piece of kit the HTC GPS tool doesn't give any instructions! However, I've set it to my COM and baud rate and hit "Open" and there's a lot of action; under the "Satelite" tab I see changing red satellite points (between one and four and I'm still indoors) so I'm presuming this indicates that my GPS is functioning?
Could my issue therefore be something to do with my non-existant ABPS/AGPS Settings?

"aGPS" = Assisted GPS, it uses more than just the satellite signals to help pinpoint your location quicker. The TP2 is capable of aGPS, but it's disabled by default. You'll need an app such as "Advanced Config" (attached below) to access and activate that setting. Once you have it installed, just open the app, and you'll see a "GPS" heading in the list of options, under that is the aGPS switch.
Much appreciated, thanks. In fact I already have "Advanced Config" installed, and all GPS options already activated, including AGPS.
Could you be so kind as to let me know whether you think, from the description in my last post, that my GPS is working? And if so, might you have any idea why it's therefore not speaking to either TomTom or Google maps?

Without being able to lay eyeballs on it, it does sound like the GPS tool did indicate that you could at least locate some satellites, but I can't say for sure if you're locking/triangulating any...
There is one more setting that I've read has helped on some odd occassions, it's worth a try if nothing else. In the same GPS settings area where you changed the port and baud rate, the last tab should be "Access". On that tab is only one check box, for "Manage GPS Automatically...", and it's probably checked by default for you. Even though it sounds backwards, go ahead and uncheck that box, and see if it makes any difference in your ability to acquire sats. It may not, but it doesn't hurt anything.
Also...just to be sure...on the "hardware" tab there, do you have the "GPS hardware port" set to "none", yes?
Your other option, of course, is to load a different radio.
have you tried running quick gps?
I have also had problems with my GPS since flashing a new ROM, a reset seems to have sorted it out.

I presume you mean a full, cold reset? I've run several standard cleanups and warm resets, and yes, I've also run QuickGPS a number of times as well.
I was beginning to wonder myself whether it was to do with flashing the new ROM, although it was an official ROM (WM 6.5 Pro), Vodafone and Windows certified and downloaded through the Vodafone website, so it should have been thoroughly checked.

Yes, if you loaded a new official ROM, you most likely got a new radio with that ROM (offical ROMs include the radio, many aftermarket ones don't)...in that case Epoh is correct and you'll want to find out what radio was on your device with the previous ROM, and try flashing that same one (or one of the other available options) in place of whatever one the new ROM included.
Again, many thanks.
But I'm afraid you've lost me technically! I'm certainly PC literate and able to tweak and crack and play, but where my TP2 is concerned my knowledge is more limited. I'm afraid I would need instructions to guide me through the process you suggest. If anyone has the patience and kindness to provide some I'd be most grateful, otherwise it's a bit out of my "do it yourself" league.

It will have your radio version there. I'm not sure which ROM you were using before, but you should be able to find what radio it was using. Then go to the ROM development forum and read about flashing your radio!

Flashing a radio is very similar to flashing a (custom) ROM, it just doesn't wipe everything, and it only replaces the radio (actually the set of drivers for all the radios in the phone). Different radios can improve your reception on any of them (3G, Bluetooth, GPS, etc), but you may have to try a couple to find the one that works best for you.
A list of available radios, and links to detailed instructions, are in THIS thread
Many thanks for the help. OK, I think I'm on the case, but here's what's still confusing me: The thread you've sent me to explains how to determine your ROM by going to the start menu, settings, etc. However what I need to know is what the ROM WAS before I updated to my current one, no? If I understand this correctly I am trying to return to the old radio that I had before I updated the ROM, yes? In which case, how do I know which radio to choose?
If it saves time, I can tell you that I am in England, my unit is a Vodafone HTC TP2, purchased in August last year.

If it saves time, I can tell you that I am in England, my unit is a Vodafone HTC TP2, purchased in August last year.

Correct, but if it uses the same radio then there is no need to flash a radio and you have a different problem, which is why I suggested checking to see if they use the same radio. If the ROMs use different radios, you can download the radio from your earlier ROM to see if it fixes GPS.

I see! Cheers.
OK, my current ROM is 1.86.161.0 (67102) WWE, and radio 4.49.25.17 (09/25/09).
However ... since I have no idea what my ROM or radio were before I updated the ROM, how am I to know whether the radio is the same!?

On that list Burton linked for you, it shows that the originial shipped ROMs from Vodaphone (which I'm assuming is what was on yours previously) were version 1.14.161.6 (50207), with radio 3.44.25.27.
