In my experience, it may take 3-10 minutes before the GPS acquires the first satelite, after having flashed to a new ROM.
Cheers!

Use visual GPS software
Hi dude,
Take a look here,
www.visualgps.net/VisualGPS
download the soft and test your GPS on your mobile, let it configure automatically.
Then lunch your GPS software, like tomtom or else, if needed, try to downgrade your radio to 1.46.30.11.
If needed try all radio till u get the gps fix with visualGps.
Make me know if works dude.

thanks i will try it and give some result tommorow

I think you just need to try it at a different location. Sometimes the response of the phone is dependent on the location.
For example, I work on one of the top floors of one of the tallest buildings in the part of town where I work, and have a clear view to the sky in all directions (absolutely no obstructions). Yet, I can leave my phone in the window for over an hour and never get a satellite fix. I can even open the window and stick the phone out the window and still get no fix. However, as soon as I leave work, and get to a different location (even with buildings towering over me) I get a fix. On the flip side, at home, I sit down away from the window, the window has thick curtains, and there is another house right outside my window creating an obstruction and yet I have no problem getting a fix.
My suggestion...go to another location when possible, soft reset the phone, and restart the application that uses gps. If you are driving, even better (it's more likely that you will reach an area where the position of your phone with regard to the satellite is good and you will get a fix).
This has worked for me irrespective of the radio rom (and I have flashed 1.38, 1.41, 1.46, and 1.50 radio versions to my phone and have always gotten a satellite fix).

Thanks for your help guys...
but still no luck...i'd tried all day long but still no satelite seeing on my trinity.
so anyone can give me link for radio??i only have 1.41...,146....and 1.50....

try install GPs test cab

i think your problem is your radio version try the radio version that i mention yesterday

yeah, it should be radio related, or your GPS chip is having a random hardware error unrelated to your ROM flashing. its pretty unlikely that the problem was the ROM (although i guess anything is possible..)
Recently, my GPS will work, and then i'll turn it off.. when i want to turn it back on it sometimes can't locate the GPS on any com port... most times i need to soft reset to get it working again.. not sure what that's about.
if you saw one satellite for 30 seconds, then there's hope for you make sure you're outside with clear view of the sky.. and definitely try a different radio ROM.. beyond that, i'm not sure if there's anything you can do

[Q] poor gps signal on leeDroid

Hi guys
After flashing my phone with leeDroid 2.2.0 I've noticed that my gps signal is very poor , to the point it has not connected yet. I upgraded my radio after flashing and its been poor since then. I've tried with Google maps and navigation and neither bondat. The used the agps function but that's all that works. Gps status from the market states 4 sats in about 20 seconds though.
Anyone got any tips or should I roll back the radio ?
Thanks guys

Im on 2.2.2 with latest radio and all good
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Could it be that it was the first time you "activate" your GPS? First time will take longer than usual. After the first time, probably it may take 5 minutes or more, you will get a faster fix. Did you change your NTP server to your nearest one?
I am running 2.2.2 now and I get a lock within 5-15 seconds. in both situation moving(on the road) and not moving(static). at most it will take is 30 seconds but its rarely now.

Maybe you should try Faster fix and then tell us if you still got problems.
Faster Fix
Anyway, you should better update to Leedroids 2.2.2 and his new Kernel and maybe the advised radio 12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2 they work pretty fine.

having same problem...
using radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2, from leedroid page...flashed it twice.
I get no GPS signal...tried faster fix and set to north america as well. Any next steps?

Try a different radio.

OK, flashed correct .ril, after reflashing the radio. Ran Faster Fix
Let GPS sit for a while. had 12 sats used in fix, but no fix ever came through.

[Q] GPS

Hi boys, i'm in problems again... i think u can help, or maybe try, if u want, u know.
Well, i don't remeber when, but suddenly gps stop works for me, or if it works, very very very inexact, for example, precision about 1000m... or maps says "ur location is unaivable", i'd try sense 3.5 roms, sense 3.0 roms, cm7 roms, o2 roms, now i'm with miui and still have the problem.
My phone drops accidentaly a few times, and before that, i'd try aGPS fix... but i don't know what's the problem... well, anyone have idea?
thanks!!!
PS: now with MIUI, maps says "ur loc is unaivable" and every app that uses location loop at "getting loc"... doesn't work.

I have a similar problem, my GPS can't find any satelite. I'm using ICS 0.7 and tried with and without aGPS Fix. GPS Status doesn't do anything, it also doesn't find any satelite at all.

ohhh, and what do u think about this? anyone know about a fix or cause of this prob? i dont feel alone at all right nao... see ya

I had the same problem, GPS turns on but it can't find any satellites. I got it fixed under warranty. I think they changed the gps antenna cable, if I remember right. I was changing roms back and forth trying to figure out the cause, but it was a hardware problem.

You can try changing your radio version.

and do u unroot/unrecovery ur phone? ****, it seems like a real trouble
i think i'm gonna explode my phone and take new one from my comp, stock the phone again seems really really heavy

I just flashed the alpharev hboot downgrader, and then the stock 2.2 PB99IMG.zip found here from some sticky. All from recovery and that's it. I read that you should use the stock 2.3 image, so that you wouldn't lose your warranty, but my phone was unbranded, so I guess it didn't matter.

So I opened the phone today and dis- and reconnected the GPS antenna cable (the cable on the left). Didn't do anything though.

I'm using 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

GPS problem CM7.2

Recently rooted my desire HD using Advanced Ace Hack Kit and flashed CM7.2. I am now having GPS connectivity issues. (I am aware there are already forums about gps problems with CM however i cannot resolve my problem).
As far as I can tell the GPS is working, but poorly.. Using GPS status i can see that my phone is fixing onto satellites slowly. It gets up to about 5 satellites and then slowly starts losing them again. It fluctuates between 0 and 5 satellites for a number of minutes. Sometimes if i'm lucky it will shoot up to 8 or 9 which gives me a GPS fix accurate enough to use google maps etc. It will take minutes to get a fix (if at all). Previous to root and CM I could get a fix within seconds every time, without fail. I copied a gps.conf file from my girlfriends legend which seem to fix the issue (got a fix within seconds). The next day however i could not get a lock on my location. I have tried various gps.conf configurations, some of which appear to fix the issue but only temporarily.
I am a total noob at this, I have read a little on the radio versions effect on GPS and that updating this may fix the issue. Is this possible? I am a little reluctant to do this as I have never done it before and would rather have a phone without a gps than no phone at all. Can anyone help or at least point me towards some reading so i can understand what is going on.
My gps.conf file is
NTP_SERVER=0.au.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=1.au.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_2=2.au.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_3=3.au.pool.ntp.org
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
My baseband version is
12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M

Try flashing a different ROM and see if thats the issue (I had a similar problem, re-flashing/flashing a different ROM did the trick
Sent from my Desire HD using Swype beta for Android!

Thank you, I ended up deleting the "supl" lines from gps.conf. Now it appears to be working. If it fails again I will try re-flashing. Thanks again.

I guess that u are using the settings for australia....that is what AU. stands for....replace your gps.conf with this one:
Code:
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
it works great....I am using it in Buenos Aires and gets a nice gps fix....to change the gps.conf u have to use a root explorer (such as file explorer) with root explorer and write permissions. Copy this code from the mobile application and then copy it in the system/etc/gps.conf file...or you can do a .txt file with that code, rename it gps.conf and then replace it in the phone....hope it works....:good:

yep, from Australia. Thanks, I have tried a gps.conf file with the north america region and it did work temporarily. The next day however it had reverted back to its old ways.
It appears i spoke too soon about my other fix. Tried it out today and once again it has stopped working. Even though i did multiple reboots yesterday after i thought everything was okay.
When i finish work I'm going to try flashing to CM7.1 and see if that helps.

hahaha sorry I read Newcastle and didn't see the flag from my mobile app...so I thought it was Uk...then u are right. Make sure that try the AGPS fix that are in the development section. I had that issue, that my gps detected sats but would not fix then. I used the GPS status app from play store and reseted the AGPS..with tools>manage A-GPS....
try that. It worked for me.

I have discovered a hardware defect in my phone. It just so happens that the problem only occurred after installing CM7.2 (very big coincidence but a coincidence none the less). Going to try to fix it more permanently soon. Thanks for your help.

GPS PROBLEM NO SATELLITE what so ever

hey guys
I recently purchased a used galaxy nexus and as soon as i got it i rooted it and headed to xda to see whats fresh.
After flashing and all that i tried to use GPS but sadly there was no satellite present so there could be no lock or anything
So I flashed another rom and still the same
So I went to stock image 4.2.2 still no satellite was found by my phone
I have look alot of places some say just turn off and turn on the location but that doesnt help either
Can you guys please help me
Right now I am running Rootool box the stable version with fancy kernal.
When i turn on gps... in the status bar it says searching for gps forever.... and the gps icon keeps on blinking.
Thank you

Have you changes Radio baseband?
If not then change it and maybe then GPS works!

GPS and radios have nothing to do with each other.
Does everything else work ok, like phone and data? Is the phone activated and have a good sim? Are you using the gps outside with a clear view of the sky? Have you waited up to 20 minutes for satellite acquisition?
If you answer yes to all the above, try downloading gps status app and use that to download new agps data. See if that works. If not, sounds like you may have a hardware issue.

tried to reset but nothing
