When I use my GPS with Google Maps/Navigation it works for 3-5 mins and then it causes my phone to reboot
Maps without GPS work fine though so it seems to be a problem with GPS
Is anyone else having this problem?
I am using the latest release of the Oxygen Rom (1.3) with 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 Radio
I also had the same problem in LeeDroid 2.2?
Is it more likey to be a hardware problem that a Radio/Rom issue?
maybe you should try and flash another radio before, so you can tell if it is a hardware issue.
Upgraded Radio to 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Still same problem.
So I changed to the Stock Froyo Sense Rom 2.29.405.5
Problem still exists ...... any ideas?

Sounds like a hardware issue. RUU then warranty?
Install GPS Status app from market. Make GPS Satus wipe A-GPS data and download the new data.
Running GPS Status now see if that fixes it.
But also getting a new one delivered tomorrow from Orange
This will be my 4th Desire I've had in 7 months think I might just get rid of it?
Question is do i stick with Android or go for Windows Mobile or even an iPhone my friends havent had any problems with theres
Still getting reboots must be faulty HW sending back to Orange thanks for your help and advice
maybe it is the wisest move!!!

Only when i got the phone with the factory 2.2 ota update did it work. I have tried numerous roms to try and find one that gets rid of this issue. I open the camcorder app and it will run fine for 5 seconds, freeze then reboot. Phone was downgraded to 2.1 then rooted with unrevoked3. I have tried CM6, CM6.0.1/2 ans nightlies 94-97, Shadow rom, uncommonsense, jagerrom, virtuous, and a few others. no kernal updates. I never had issues with my moto droid any insight would be appreciated.
I had isues where the camera would freeze up, but no reboot, when i try to start the camera up again, my phone says it cant detect the camera, ruby 1.1.1 unrevoked3 + forever
Don't know if there is a correlation to the two, but they sound similar, did you try ruby 1.1.1?
yes i tried that too. just tried kings kernals too. same no matter what
Which radio are you running? "Phone was downgraded to 2.1" sounds like you might be running one of the 1.00 radios.
2.05 is what it says for baseband
Went to 2.15 seems to have fixed the issues.
I had the same problem with my old ROM and upgraded to Froyo 2.2f and still the phone hangs and restarts after i open the camcorder .... please if anyone knows how to solve the issue tell me ...

Update your radio.
I have a GPS problem, and despite reading a number of the threads in the forum and trying the usual fixes (downloading GPS Status, clearing downloaded data, re-downloading A-GPS data, factory reset, upgrading to 2.3.3 etc...) I still figure out what's wrong.
Symptoms are:
I do have a GPS icon in the task bar in the apps where I would expect it appear
I never get a lock
Both GPS Status and GPS Test seem to indicate I have *no* signal from any sats
I am outside when I try this
aLogcat seesm to show no NMEA data, though I've never read a logcat entry for working GPS, so I'm guessing a bit here. It does show GPS start up and shutdown lines however
It didn't work in 1.84, when I downgraded, and it still doesn't work in 2.3.3 - seems to be version independant!
Does anyone have any bright ideas? It's really irritating. As a side note, the phone isn't rooted (as I forgot to S-off when I upgraded to 2.3.3) though it could be downgraded fairly easily if there was a good reason to do it...
Thanks!
If it has never worked and you have wiped the device, re-installed etc....
Then I would guess that it may be a defective unit...

1. are you running custom roms? if so which?
2. have you updated your radio and made sure that the RIL is matching?

1. Nope. The stock 2.3.3 RUU and before that the UK T-Mobile Stock 1.84 ROM.
2. Stock only, so standard RIL.

That is my fear. It did work when I first got it, but it now doesn't on any ROM. Unfortunately I can't quite work out what changed...
If this is the problem, does anyone know a way to get back on the T-Mobile official ROM so i can take it back to the shop?
Hi there, Your best bet would be to try and downgrade, root and flash a matched ROM, RIL & radio to retest. This happened to me a while back and this was the only thing that sorted it. CoreDroid has been particularly good for GPS on my DHD, hope this helps

Yeah - I tried the Coredroid rom - no dice. Think that confirms it's hardware. Back to stock and then back to the shop for this one.
I heard rumours that early DHDs were flaky for GPS. Guess that confirms it for me...
Had exactly the same problem with mine after using the gingerbread ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056329
Are there different versions for different countries? Maybe this only works in the US or something? I'm guessing here!
Are there different stock ROMS for different countries/ networks? I didn't write down the version numbers before updating
So I've been running cm7 for a while now with no problems at all with my GPS after the sense GPS fix. Today I updated my radio prl pri combo thing and my GPS only locks for 1 second or so then even the icon dissapears. So I flashed cm7 over itself and its still broke. Anyone know a good combo for the GPS or a fix?
Have you tried the re-doing the "sense GPS fix" you mentioned? You can asking try shutting down your device, pulling the battery, reinserting the battery and then powering up your device to see if that helps.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
Yeah I've pulled the battery more then once. Does anyone know if updating radio combo ect... would make me need to do the sense fix again?
Because that's a giant pain in the ass.
Hi, did you ever got your radio to work again? I have the exact same problem now. I tried an old rom (Floyo 1.2) and thought I might as well update the radio. I did a full wipe and everything went fine, but I can never get a GPS signal. I have tried GPS status and toolbox -> reset -> download assist data but to no luck. Then I tried six different radio versions (old and new), the Floyo Euro GPS zip, the Salsa rom and Elelinux' 2.3.4 rom but none of them works. If I try to let GPS status keep running for a minute or so, the phone will eventually do a hard reboot :/

Try and flash back to a sense based rom and reflash the updated radio and then update your prl reboot and update your profile do that twice should clear up your issues.
miui-us I'm having issues with GPS on CM7 as well, but I never got it to work with a sense fix or anything...I'm going to see if I can get it working when I flash a sense rom first. If it works then I'll try what you said.
Same thing happened to me after updating the radios. Looks like it's time for the PITA Sense and back fix.
Trying it now, but it takes about an hour, I will get back to you....
Hello.
I've had a HTC Desire for about 6 months now and recently I have encountered a huge problem.
So , the thing is that suddenly , my phone reboots. When I play games , or when I just look around the phone.
Usually it gets hot in the part under the battery.
I have tried multiple ROMs , but no solution so far.
Any ideeas ?
I have changed the RADIO with the latest and no solution.
yes, i got the same problem!
i have:
CyanogenMod 7.0.3
Android version: 2.3.3
baseband version: 32.56.00.32u_5.17.05.23
kernel version: [email protected] #3
can it be the kernel? because except it i have changed evrything?
i'm so dipresed by this that i whant to change evry thing back........
info
HTC Desire
Android 2.3.4
32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
[email protected]#19
MIUI
SUSPECTS: bad kernel/rom(check md5)
Bad setcpu setup
Battery
SD(repartition)
Good luck!
Sent from my HTC Desire
I also have the same problem however I suspect for me it is the Simeji keyboard that's been crashing and rebooting my Desire.
I'm using Reflex S 2.1.5 rom with radio: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08.
Last time it crashed I was using Simeji in Colornote and then tried to open alogcat but it forced closed so I tried to open it again then it rebooted. I'm gonna try to replicate what I did to see if they're the culprits.
Update: Managed to crash my phone twice. Alogcat was the one crashing my phone. That's not very helpful since I was trying to use it to find out what was crashing my phone the first time prior to installing alogcat. How frustrating.

Hi, My first desire which was not rooted had a similar problem. It would just switch off on its own. This was caused by a faulty motherboard and had nothing to do with radios, kernel or the like. My suggestion would be to make a nand backup and then flash a completely stable kernal, rom etc and then run that with little to no apps installed. If it keeps restarting its unlikely to be a kernel,rom or software issue. Hope that helps
Can anyone suggest a stable RADIO/ROM configuration? Please ?
Hey guys,
Don't shoot me, I've already done the research and still can't seem to find an answer. Regardless of ROM I can't get GPS to find any satellite's, fresh root, SR4.2, Synergy RC2, CM7 nightly, MIUI, Virtuous. I unrooted to see if it was a possible hardware issue, which it isn't as an unrooted phone gives me fast locks onto whatever sat is near. GPS Status shows nothing in the sky even after a A-GPS reset and download, although I know there's always at least 3 that are visible. I've tried clearing cache for any gps based app, tried running fresh rom installs instead of backups all with no luck. Any ideas guys?
Currently I'm running:
ROM - SR 4.2
Baseband - 2.15.00.07.28
Kernel - Stock Kernel from SR4.2 (2.6.32.17-g9a2fc16 htc-kernel[email protected] #1
PRL - 52341
HW Version - 0002
CWM - 3.0.0.7
HBoot - 0.92.0000
Radio - 2.15.00.07.28
Looks like I'm stuck going back to stock unrooted until I can get this fixed.
I'm having the exact same problem. Tried multiple roms and doing A-GPS resets. I'm not sure what else to try, anyone have any other ideas? May have to unroot for now so I can use GPS while traveling.

If you are in NY or other new 4g area it may be related to a problem others are having with AGPS upate VZW pushed. No ROM seems to work.
yep, it was an issue with New York. We drove to Boston on Sunday, I tried clearing my A-GPS in western Massachusetts and suddenly got a lock on GPS! Google maps then worked perfectly all the way to Boston.
Well there is no way I'm giving up root or custom roms, Google or Verizon need a better solution than that.
I actually fixed mine and never left NY, I dropped to stock then went back to SR 4.3 and haven't had a problem since, and I've flashed 3.0 roms and SR 4.3 multiple times with no problem. So if you're still having a problem unroot then reroot. It should fix it.
