Hoping for some help here... new to post but been a reader for awhile.
I had been running Virtuous 2.7 with the custom kernal for a couple of days when my location somehow switched to showing me in Portland. I'm in Phoenix. I have tried re-wiping all data/cache/davlik and also tried loading up Skyraider 3.0, as well as un-rooting and going back to stock and am having the same results. Also have the 2.15 radio. GPS, HTC clock widget, all showing Portland. Any ideas?
Uninstall the map updates see if that works, u may have to wait on google maps... i had that problem a few versions ago

Hi. I downloaded skyraider,rooted my phone and installed froyo 2.2. I have clockwork recovery as well. Ever since then my Google navigation has not been working. Google maps will locate where I am but when I hit navigate it just stays on searching for gps. I was wondering if there was a solution and if this problem is with all the other incredibles.

Toggled airplane mode on and off yet?
havn't noticed this and am running skyraider 2.5.2 as well.
Check 'Location' under settings and try checking all three (Verizon, Google, GPS) location settings and see if that helps any
Yeah I tried all that and it pin points my location but gets stuck on searching for gps. Also my camcorder doesn't work. Is this maybe tied in to the same problem?

What version of Sky Raider are you running? I know GPS and Camcorder didn't work for me when I was on V1.9. Since upgrading my radio and flashing 2.5.2 everything has been perfect.
Did you upgrade your radio? I believe you must have version 2+ for camcorder and GPS to work.
yes i just updated my radio and the camcorder works now just not the gps. still searching for gps it says. It has my location just cant find the sattelites
alright it finally all works!!! thanks a bunch guys for ur time
i am really struggling with the GPS. It takes for ever to lock. If i restore my Revolution HD 3.1 ROM and test, it locks within a few seconds
I really need the gps, its one of the main reasons i have a phone like this
GPS sometimes locks then disappears or just fails to come on when i open a GPS app or just takes for ever to get a lock. When/if it locks it only picks up 5/7 satellites. with Rev 3.1 it picks up 8/10.
My sisters Desire, with oxygen rom, locks 12 satellites in 10sec every time.
I have tired GPS status and i am still having issues.
I know this has been covered and also aware this is a known issue but is there a resolution for this?
GPS Is also one of the reasons I got this phone.
Thanks.
CM7 Nightly 21 fixes the GPS issue, try that

Ok I was just installing build 21 over RC2.
After, restoring my backup RC2, and installing the .zip in that thread it has made a difference.
I noticed that in gps essentials the magnetic field reading has gone up after installing the .zip and I seem to get a fix a lot faster.

When using GPS it always says waiting for location no matter where I am..but on my zte blade its almost instant.
This happened on reduce rom, and now on cm7.
Please help as I need GPS alot

GPS is buggy in those 2.3 GB ROMs.
However one of them has it working fully (Gingervillain or latest Redux, I think).
But if you use it a lot stick with 2.2 ROMs.
Try another Radio or Kernel
tried all suggested but no luck.
Which CM7 build are you using? I had this problem with CM7 RC1 and RC2 but after I switched to RC3, GPS started to work.
GPS could be faulty. Flash the stock RUU, test again, and take it back if it still doesn't work.
Had this a couple of times before. I used fast reboot from the market to stop and start apps and processes worked a treat for me.
Make sure you disable GPS before you run the app. Hope it helps.
The thing is, that the GPS works fine when i get a GPS lock/fix.
But it takes so long to connect e.g 1-5mins.
My ZTE Blade has an instant 3-10sec lock every time.
there have been pletny of GPS threads, obviously. but im wondering what you guys did to fix yout GPS on cm7? my gps worked in the past, but recently when i flashed RC4, the GPS stopped working. and i flashed the latest nightly and it is not working as well. i just baffles me because it worked in earlier builds, and you would figure it would work in more stable builds.
so.
what have you guys done to fix your GPS/what nightly are you on?
As an avid Foursquare user I use GPS every day, several times a day, these GPS issues are the main reason I'm still on the stock ROM.
i know what you mean. my GPS works on sense based roms, which is great. im not sure whyyyy its not working on CM7.

First things first: No indicator on notification bar when starting GPS traffic assist application?
Then you are living under a rock or having bad reception. Go outside. Using some kind of widget which uses GPS also and has a on/off switch in it? Try switching off and reboot. It simply should work with the latest nightlies. Try reflashing and fix permissions. Do not wipe your entire phone before flashing.
Doesn't work for me either with RC 2 or RC 4. I've tried some of the fixes out but no joy. I know how to use it and it works fine when I go back to stock. Issue is definitely with my CM 7 install. I'm hoping for a solution soon as this my only issue, but it's a big one for me.

GPS works for me (screen shot included)
I don't use the navigation much but if I understand the program gpsstatus, it is working for me. I have used CM7 RC2 and RC4 (which is what I am on).

That's right, yours is working fine. If the GPS is "broken", you won't have any activity on GPS Status. No green dots for the satellites on the round display, and no bars on the bar graph below that. Those will be blank, and you never get lat/long coordinates
It's still working for me on RC4, but locking takes about a minute, whereas it was almost instant on stock.
CM7 definitely does something to gps, very weird how everyone is getting different results.

had problems with gps locking on stock radio with cm 6.1.1 after flashing .27 i get almost instant lock in the house, that did not happen with stock rom or radio.
but my wifes with stock radio and rom did that from the box
both g2
GPS doesn't work at all for me in CM7-RC4 (I mean nothing, no signals or indicators or anything). Works fine in CM6.
I believe I'm currently running the "stock" T-mo OTA radio 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M and haven't tried a different one. Think changing that might help? I don't understand why some people have it working with this radio but not others.
Edit:
OK, I got it working. I had first installed CM7-RC4 using clockwork recovery (in the boot menu) after wiping out the stock ROM. GPS didn't work so I installed CM6 using ROM manager. GPS worked. I then installed CM7-RC4 using ROM manager and voilà, GPS works in CM7-RC4 now. I have no idea what the difference is.
Try .27 worked for me on cm 611 , just flashed the new one, works great, satellites get higher value on GPS test

Sorry, didn't see your post after mine. I edited mine to show that I got it working simply by downgrading to CM6 then upgrading to CM7. Could be a ROM Manager thing or maybe something left over from how CM6 configured the hardware, or who knows.
I do wish CM7 was more stable though, seems kind of wonky.
I had the same problem with CM7. Download gps.vision.so from either nightly #4 or nightly #34. Open up adb:
adb remount
adb push gps.vision.so /system/lib/hw
adb reboot
GPS should work after that.
Radio .26, CM7 RC4, flashed also the "auto-patcher" that patches files to your ROM based on what radio you have.
My 3g has not been running much. It has been switching to 1x. What should the new updates be now radio updates? I live in KS and I think the issue is I need to update radios

mine was doing the alot too but i flashed the newest radios as of 07/04/2011 and it stopped going into 1x alot
I started having this problem recently as well, I live in the Boston area. I believe I have the latest radios, 2.15.00.05.02. I had been running the stock rooted rom, which only shows a 3G icon regardless of actual connection speed. I noticed that when I flashed the Synergy Sense 3.0 ROM that my phone was sitting in 1x most of the time. I tried flashing Deck's ASOP 1.2.1 and was seeing the same speed issues. I ran a Speed Test on each of the ROMs and was getting less than 100kbps. I'm currently back on the stock rooted ROM while I try to debug the speed issues.
I was just about to post a thread on this as well because it is frustrating me a lot. when i first got the phone i was full bars every where and now , especially after rooting , I have terrible signal and most times cant load web pages or download from market unless im on wifi
I have 2.15.00.09.01 radio is that the newest

An update on my situation. My 3G magically started working again last night. I think my 3G issue may have been related to the SMS/data outage that hit the Sprint network in the past 48 hours.
What data outage did they have
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
All i was aware of was an sms - mms outage like he said but im still experiencing these issues. It now seems to only be certain webpages. I can't make any google searches and some websites will only load once in a great while.
Yeah I'm still having 1x issues. It sucks. So what is the new radio or a d l link for it would be great
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Check my sig for radio downloads. I am currently on the newest radios, and everything works perfectly for me.
Flash a rooted Sense ROM, based on the Evo (this disqualifies MikG, Director's Cut, Synergy and other Sense 2.1 ROMs, because those are based on the Evo Shift (I've had issues with Shift-based ROMs not reactivating)
Go into EPST (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode), enter your MSL code (download and use MSL Reader from the Market to get it), Data Profile, hit the menu button and choose restore. Just sit there, your phone will reboot and everything will go back to default. This should fix your 3G issue.
Then, just wipe everything and flash your favorite ROM!
