leaked verizon rom /gps strange problem!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I flashed a VZ XV6900 Brand new out of box with the Verizon leaked rom
All the settings went like this...(Did not let customization run!)

After the flash I tried to use live maps....I already *228 (Option 1 & 2), setup phone location on, gps h/w port, program port , baud rate, etc. GPS in live did not work!
I then tried Valhalla GPS thing...Still nothing!
I did a clear storage which formats everything...(let custimizations run this time!) Did the *228, location, h/w port, program port, baud, etc...Tried live maps...nothing........Installed Valhalla....Nothing!!! Nothing Nothing!!
I was successful last week with this by figuring out my phone was on 911 only and gps locked instantly...that phone was cracked and broken and had to be sent back. I know this should work...but I am stumped! Please Help me!
********************************************************
Update!!!
For some reason it works!
It wasn't working at all...I didn't touch it & went to sleep...I woke up & the FRIGGIN' thing works great!
Thanks!

What exactly are you trying to figure out?

I am presuming you are trying to use GPS on your Touch (XV6900)? Do you have a live data connection? If you do not have a data connection, perhaps Verizon has data block on your phone, then aGPS (Valhall CAB) wont work.
By the way, the leaked ROM was from phonenews.com. This was an official Verizon ROM, therefore you dont have to worry about letting customizations run. I am runnig this exact ROM and works great so far. Verizon simply has not made it "official" as of yet. When they do finally put it out there for all of us XV6900 users you can find it on
http://www.pcdphones.com/view_phone_details.aspx?mcode=XV6900&sAct=0&carrierid=null&bID=95

This is not the official rom by far.....everyone has reported the gps does not work and the rom is incredibly sluggish

you are wrong whosdaman.
The ROM is perfectly working, with all the customization, and the GPS works perfectly in google maps or live maps after using the vallalha fix. Been using it since it was posted and just installed manilla2d to replace the cube and it works a treat.
Are you working for verizon?

yup just flashed the verizon unofficial 6.1 rom, so far seems stable and data is fast.
Opera works good also. I havent reinstalled all my apps yet to see if there are any problems there.
Installed vahalla gpsfix, google maps and livesearch get locks on 6-10 satellites in 3-5 seconds in my house!
Installed vznavigator from vzstart.
VZNavigator fails because it checks provisions and verizon hasnt enabled its use yet.

If you check ppcgeeks where everyone has been talking about it, no one on verizon could get it to work straight out of the box
Everyne has reported problems with it, and no I have Sprint....do you have verizon?

It works great , gps locks on google maps and live search in 10-15 seconds
and rom is very fast and stable , data is alot faster with Rev A.

hey UnlockMe what version of manilla2d did you install? I'm interested in installing. Also can it be uninstalled safely to go back to stock?

Well, I can confirm that with this ROM my device is in fact sluggish, and the GPS most certainly does NOT work out-of-the-box (maybe with the exception of VZNavigator), and I didn't have any luck with the Valhalla GPS deal.
I've since gone back to my custom ROM and still can't get GPS working - I suspect because once firmware is written you can't roll it back?

version 20 I think, whatever was the last stable version.
You can't uninstall it without a hard reset though, at least that's what the doc says, didn't try it.
After using manilla for a while now, I think the cube is much more efficient. Not as sleek as manilla, but I lost a lot in productivity by removing the cube and am considering going back.

Hey not sure if this is a question I can ask or not here but can someone point me in the right direction to get this rom. And will I need to re authenticate the phone after flashing?

Valhalla Cab
Can someone please post a copy of the Valhalla cab file. Thanks.
Edit: Nevermind, found one online.
P.S. I'm a little late on this update, but I was able to update my wifes XV6900 w/ the original leaked rom (with customizations) and enable GPS for use w/ GoogleMaps using the Valhalla fix.

T-Mobile TP2 GPS Problems

I cannot connect to any GPS satellites using any program.
When using the HTC GPS Tool it shows that it can satellites everywhere it will just never fix on any of them.
I have tried several ROMS and this does not seem to be the problem.
It was working when on the OEM ROM and even on several other cooked ROMs I had tried. It stopped working when I switched from EnergyROM w/ 2.5 to the Official European 6.5 ROM. Since that ran so much smoother I thought it would be allright without GPS but now I am really missing this feature.
So i decided to go with a clean 6.5/2.1 ROM and chose the Timor ROM. This still didn't fix my problem. Now i went back to the last working ROM that had GPS and again no luck. So idk if this is a hardware or software problem.
ALSO i tried two different radios, both which had previously worked.
4.45.25.05 and 4.45.25.17
No luck with either.
I WANT MY GPS BACK!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Check out this thread, it seems to work on the Rhodium as well as the Fuze.

Really? wow... .77 is the radio that -- for me -- works best for GPS.
But anyway, the HTC GPS Tool makes any radio work better for GPS.

Sense 2.5 my location not working help neded

i have gave up on the location feature i have tried everything and it just seems that it just not working here in San Juan, Puerto Rico for some reason it use to work before but apparently not any more if any one know what else can i do let me know, things i have tried:
1. different radio
2. use task29 before flashing
3. go back to original shipped ROM and flash a custom rom without using task29
4. lot of registry hacks related to location settings
5. different agps settings
...... any other suggestions???

You are not alone with this problem, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6118508 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662178
So it seems to be a wider problem :-(
I wrote to HTC support 3 times in last 2 weeks about this problem, but till now no response from them. Maybe you should also send a question to HTC about this issue.

any one with a new solution?

I wrote to HTC support but without any reasonable answer or solution :-(. Maybe you should do the same and everybody who has such a problem. that should be a way to create some pressure on HTC.

Yeah I had this problem too... 3 things... Find the "QuickGPS" update... settings > location settings... htc location service (checked) and turned on, google location service turned on.
then if all else fails try this .cab from this thread on HTCPedia
http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=888
This will usually get the weather working which is a sure sign GPS is working!

So I am not sure how to turn on google location service. So, I don't know if that is still causing me to not update location.
I did install your cab to main memory and soft reset the phone, but I had no luck.
I am running an Energy 23557 Sense 2.5 cookie home tab Apr 14 Rom. Please, please help. I have seen this my location work 1 time. I have absolutely no idea how it did and cannot get it to do it again, any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Update
I am a moron, I have been avoiding flashing a new radio, cause I am weird when it comes to things I haven't tried before, but now my location works.
I flashed the 4.49.25.57 radio for T-Mobile and now my location updates perfectly. Thanks to all that have put up posts on this site.
Below is the link for the page that shows all the newer radios. After much thought and listening to others who have flashed new radios. Everyone needs to do this. The stock radios SUCK.

Are you still running the original tmobile 6.1 ROM? I certainly understand if you are (I only recently stepped to 6.5 myself)...but the .57 radio is the one that comes standard on the tmo 6.5 upgrade, so most tmo users probably have it already. However, I've heard of the .57 giving the same improvements to Tilt2 and custom ROM users as well...so for any GSM users wanting to try other radios, that is proably the best one to start with.

Yes Sir

Yeah, check my sig. I am running a newer Energy ROM and it doesn't come with the radio we're talking about. But, yeah, this IS totally the best radio out there, hands down, if you are a T-Mo user at least.

Did you happen to notice any improvement in your GPS reception after you flashed the new radio? I'm suspecting that the reason the new radio cleared up the my location issue is because of better GPS performance.

I noticed a dramatic improvement. I don't have the lag behind issue. Not that it was much when driving, but now it's basically non existant. My google maps, bing, trapster, weather radar, all of them find my gps signal 100 times faster than before. It's truly amazing to me how much difference a new radio makes.

I'm glad it's made such an improvement all around for you, that rocks!
You may have seen it already, but make sure you check out my thread about the cab I found to fine-tune GPS for tmo users. It sounds like you may have it dialed in ok already, but this is just one more way to help get optiumum results

I think I found the sollution for this problem.
1: Go to settings tab
2: Go to more
3 Go to connections
4: Click on connections
5: Click on excisting connections
6: click on edit
7: Click next
8: Delete the name of your portal (portalmmm or something like that, it ends with mmm, thats what i remembered)
9: click next
10: click finish.
Now just update your gps using quickgps, and if all is well, the gps should work again!
Goodluck!

Problems with google maps, he remains paralyzed searching gps..

like the thread title says i have this problem.. my google maps is always "searching for gps" in the Navigation function
few threads ago i was posted a problem with GPS STATUS or GPS TEST...
They were not finding any satellite...
later with the help of @superstick1 & @blbean i was fixed it... now these apk finds even 7 satellites!!!!(often LOL)
but Navigation continues without work.... some suggestion?
i was tested:
1-reinstall the apk. (not fixed my problem)
2-erase data caché OF THE APP only (not solved my problem)
3-fix gps sat. with gps status(not solved)but 5 satellites found...
4-use FASTERFIX.apk and then restart my machine (not solved)
EDIT: ufff! i´m desperate more tries:
5-flashed another recommened rom from coredroid thread: 12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3 (orange uk)but its weird because i´m living in spain (orange es) (NOT SOLVED MY TROUBLE)
6-flashed another kernel: from leedroid 2.2.9 to my current BUZZ 1.3.8.3 1.2 GHZ MAX(NOT SOLVED)

Hi SERGI.3210
We meet again. Lol. I notice from my own experience that if we often reboot our phone, the GPS state will be restarted. And hence it will take some time for the GPS to work again.
For example, I have once flashed LeeDrOid' v2.2.2 in the past few months(first time), and I got a fix very quickly. It will be within 5-15 seconds? At most it will take is 30 seconds. However, after I reboot for whatever reason(I forgot, but I am not flashing anything else), and the GPS takes more time to get a fix again. The situation got worsen when I am in the car to get a fix. Took about 5-10 minutes??
But after some time, tolerating such slow fix(I know, its annoying) it suddenly get back to normal again. Which means I can get a fix very fast again.
Many has recommended the use of GPS Status app to clear A-GPS data and then download them back again. It works for them it seems, but in some to a large extent, it did not really work for me.
Maybe you can try Ulysee Gizmos app from the market? It has the capability to download A-GPS data as well. Recently I try using it and it seems to fix my problem once again. When was it? Last two days ago. Lol. Now it still work fine. Hopefully this continues.
I am still use GPS Status to get A-GPS data. Which means I am using both of them at the same time. Probably both apps does fires out some solutions? Haha. Me not sure but you can try.
Cheers mate. =)

-4-I believe that I will think of burning my DHD.. lolololololol
thank´s for you usefuls posts man..
see you soon here
EDIT: i tried to install another GPS NAVIGATOR (sygic) BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS... i´m really sure that the problem its that my device finds gps when he wants And if it is clouded less still

I am fine here thanks. Getting ready for work now.
In your case, the problem is nothing to do with the navigation software but your GPS cannot get a fix. It may due to hardware failure.
If the situation persist, probably you should consider sending your device to HTC for a check. But make sure you turn back your phone into normal state first. (i.e. unroot your phone)

i pretty much have the same problem ...
5+ mins to lock my position ..
RcMixHD 5.5 and a changed radio... i will just burn it..

So you finally got a fix? Congrats!
Yea, try to send it to HTC for a check. By the way, again, remember to unroot your phone first before sending to them.

good night buddy!!!!
i have soo good noticesx100000000000
THAKE THIS:
gps status:found 8 or 9 sat.
fixed in 62 segs.
google maps:working perfectly!
finding gps at the moment
15 meters position error max. (better than my htc hero)
THE MEDICINE:
1--Though I feel sorry very much I had that flahs another CUSTOM ROM
2--Then I´VE flashed the recommended radio and was foun 3 or 4 sat...
3--and the most important: flash the RIL for this radio in this moment i was found 8 or 9 sat.!!!
the only one thing that i don´t like (nothing nothing) is the custom rom:
RCmix 6.1.0.1 (ported from desire s)
i´m COREDROID LOVER and RCMIX seems too simple but i preffer the good performance before beauty things...
Nevertheless when it does a few kilometres and tested well the GPS I will try with Leedroid (froyo) to see if I obtain the same results

Good for you buddy!
Usually if you got a fix pretty quick, it will have errors ranging to 30-50 meters(that is from what I obverse based on my device that locks within 5-15, max 30 seconds). Then it will adjust overtime. Well, still better than doesn't get a fix at all.
Hmm.. RCMis HD6.1.0.1? The Evolutionary Sense ROM? I have not try that yet.. plan to try after my exam. Currently concentrating on my exam for this month. Also quite satisfied with my current flashed LeeDrOid v2.2.3 ROM now. Lol.
Probably will be trying Miui too. I would prefer staying with Sense ROM as there is unlikely to have Premium Navigation in Non-sense ROM. If I would to try other GPS apps, I will have to pay for it. Premium Navigation is free for life for me in Malaysia + Singapore. Also finding addresses with it is easier, unlike other GPS app.(i.e. cannot search address). Probably due to the names of addresses here. Here uses Malay names and not English.

Already testing... I was already getting good GPS results on the EL29 ROM I built (even indoors). This mod is really just another gps.conf edit.
I installed the mod over an hour ago, reset agps data, rebooted and got a pretty quick lock (indoors) immediately. I just tried again and it's not getting a lock at all. I think I'll go back to the original gps.conf and see if it locks properly.
Update: After reverting back to the original gps.conf, clearing agps data, and rebooting, I got a lock in 5-6 seconds. I think part of the issue is that this is now hitting "derekgordon.com" instead of the regular GPS servers. This mod was sent out to the interwebs and I'm sure there are TONS of people installing. I'm not sure if the server is overloaded or whatnot, but I don't want to rely on someone's private website for my Navigation and other GPS needs.

i already get decent gps as well but this mod has me curious.
i totally agree with you about not wanting to rely on someones personal server.. though only v3+ includes this server. there are older mods that rely on qualcomms servers.

I tried this mod (V3) and it made no difference for me.. I'm afraid my GPS problems are hardware related, I've tried almost every 'fix' available.

Well it probably has to be manipulated to work with our device. The file is for the international sgs2

...i wish u didnt say that...because my gps is fukked...i was hoping this patch would fix it but if i end up being in the same boat as you where its a hardware problem ill just take it into sprint...i havent done it yet partially because i am hopeful that i can fix it too lazy to go and scared they r gunna find out i rooted my phone even tho ill rest it back to stock

I'm getting my hardware replacement this Friday. I've done everything from scripts, to gps drivers, nothing is consistent. Even reverting back to stock didn't do anything.
Hopefully it will fix it.

I tested this today. Before the fix I couldn't get more than 3 satellites in GPS Status, after the fix I got 9.
Also noticed that while navigating I could get a lock in under a minute instead of 5+ minutes before the fix.

Mine is stuck on roaming after flashing, weird
Edit: fixed now, no idea what caused it but fine now
Gps crazy fixed now too

loaded the new config file last night and day later it still won't get a lock. i guess this mod isn't for me.
edit: after few reboots it gets lock in under 5 seconds... hope it stays that way

Anyone know if this patch helps at all on ICS ROMs?

Is it possible for someone to upload the original gps.conf ?
I lost mine after trying many different modes, to get the damn gps working lol.

Here's my stock gps.conf from /etc/

It may help some but I know that some of the phones have bad gps chips in them. My first one did. I had to get it replaced in order to get a gps lock. The first one I had would never see more than 1 sattelite and never lock. Nothing I did or that the sprint techs did could change it so they swapped it out for me.
