GPS after flashing new radio - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I realise after I flash new radio.. my GPS on my Desire HD is "not as good as before" anymore. Is it radio related? =S I flash back to the previous and it seems to be the same (problem) again. ie not getting a quick lock. I have FasterFix and all already.

fuzzy radio and no gsm

Hi everybody,
i tested a lot of radio rom so far and i still have an issue.
Sometimes during the boot the 'no gsm' message appears and i need to reset the device to let it works.
Other times during the day it looses the signal and freeze.
Actually i'm using the schaps 4.00 and rom 1.47.0.10.
I use a 3 and a wind sim as backup.
Any ideas? Something corrupted or the device has some problems?
Thanks
Acr
the same thing happens to me except with the 1.54 radio, most other radios that i have tried say that i don't have a sim in or unknown sim status and ask me for a pin.
Hi,
the same with 1.54 radios. Well.. a little less..
So i suppose it's something dealing with the radio and not the device itself.
Any other experience guys?

Radio v1.00.25.05 GPS BUG ???

Hallo (Bepe)
I have a HTC Touch Diamond and my rom was RUU_Diamond_HTC_GER_1.37.407.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship
and my GPS functionality was perfect. with TomTom 7
Now i have Diamond_bElite_Premium_0.95_0407 rom, and Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.05 because was recommended. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
Now my GPS not works, why??
I have Check with HTC GPS Tool and GNS Test, no GPS signal.
QuickGPS update 6 Days an 23 h
I think the problem is the Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.05 why not works with the internal GPS. It's very strange.
Anybody have the same problems ???
Do you think you can resolve this problem ???
Have you tried another radio with the same ROM?
Did you use VOIP? It has a tendency to break GPS (hard boot fixes the issue)
I have a custom built ROM based on 20273 (with 15965 elements) with radio .11
GPS works fine. It DOES take some time to get a fix the first time, but afterwards, it swooshes.
^.^
IF another radio doesn't work, check if the issue persists with another ROM but with radio .05.
have you tryed a hard reset?
I have this radio version and the gps work fine
I have this radio version and the gps doesn't work fine! since I've flashed my diamond... a lot of problem for gps. No voip soft installed.
Problem on 0.95 and 0.96 bepe version.
i have this radio on the hk 193 rom and the gps works flawlessly,takes30 seconds to lock sats from cold boot.
Always hard reset after flashing a new rom. It fixes many problems. This advice is given by Duttythroy.

I'am using this radio ROM with 1.37.406.1FRE.
GPS works fine ! At least, 1.00.25.05 is a very good Radio ROM.
I don't think GPS has anything to do with the Radio since it is not a transmitting device. It's another problem. Have you checked windows manages GPS port?

When the HTC trinity was release in Europe it had a Radio ROM of 1.23.** with this ROM the GPS did not function. With the release of Radio ROM 1.38.** the device now had GPS capability. Do you still think the RADIO ROM has nothing to do with GPS?
I've had the same issues after upgrading the Radio ROM... The two are DEFINITELY connected as in the Radio ROM has something in it that affects GPS.
Anyway, as stated in other threads and here (ALWAYS hard reset after upgrading the Radio ROM, even though you dont have to, its best that you do.
Then run GPSTool, choose COM4, baud 4800, press 'Open' then once you see data in the bottom half of the screen (thats your GPS talking!) choose 'Cold Start' from the drop down box and then press 'Nav Init'.
Now leave it like this for a few minutes (outside!) and then press the satellites tab at the bottom, as long as you can at least see some red dots (satellites) on the globe (earth) then your GPS IS WORKING. Dont worry if it says Mode 2: No fix available - as I dont know about the rest of you but Ive never seen this tool get a 'fix'.
Now once you've let it do that for a while and verified some red dots on the satellites screen then you should be able to close the tool, and start TomTom and just be a little patient maybe and then you will start seeing some activity.
A little note: Be somewhere with at LEAST 60% sky view when you're doing this as you've reset all the nav data and the initial process of locking on satellites from 'cold' can take a while, but once you've locked on eventually the next time it should be a little quicker. As usual YMMV but at least this has worked for me and I've had no end of trouble with the GPS after doing Radio ROM updates.
Good luck.

[Q] Losing 3g on Gingervillain 1.3 - 1.9

I've been using GV for months now, but I still have the same issue no matter what kernel I use. If I switch on WiFi, I can't acces my 3G network later on. I have to go to 2G and turn on 3G again to get the connection going again. Putting the device in flight mode also works, but it's a bit of a pain in the ...
I've seen other posts about this problem, but there is no fix that I know of. Any help?
Currently running GV 1.9
Radio: 5.11.05.27
Kernel: 2.6.38.2-defrost-brav
It would be down to the rom and I don't think there is any dev for it anymore... either put up with it or just change rom. You could try updating your radio to 5.14.05.17.
Ok thanks,
I thought flashing a radio was pretty dangerous. How does it work? Same as any other flash?
Yeh, just bung the zip onto your SD, boot into recovery and flash it. Reboot and it will install and your done. It is safer than flashing it through fastboot and it's the way I do it.
Do you have a link to that file?
Nevermind, I flashed a file I found. All is well again.

[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 had a problem where my GPS refused to start (the blinking 'waiting for GPS lock' icon didn't come on) and flashing the patch in recovery worked perfectly. I now have perfect GPS, and have managed to find up to 12 satellites concurrently.

thanks Lazer, i think this gonna help someone
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

Install official HTC 2.3 update, it doesn't void your warranty.

Signal strenght problem!!! :@

I use Runny ROM v7.0.2 and week ago I changed SIM cards in my Desire, I put another provider. And after that I have serious problems with singal
When phone is in standby it doesn't have any bar of signal and nobody can get me. After 2-3 seconds when it's wake, I get 3 of 5 bars. In RCMix3D Tweaks under "phone information" I use GSM auto (PRL), I tried WCDMA preferred but it's not better. In wireless & networks, under mobile network I tried GSM/WCDMA and GSM only and get the same issue. I also made new APNs.
Radio is 32.56.00.32U-5.17.05.23., also I flashed 3 different ROMs (Runnymede AIO, RunnyROM & Alex-V 1.8 Sense) = nothing helped.
Last what I would try is to flash official RUU (make unroot etc.) to see if it will work normally again.
Can somebody help me with problem, I think it is hardware issue but I have some hope that is software so I can or you can fix it??
Thank you
It seems that on official RUU everything is OK I'll try root it again and flash another custom ROM.
edit: using stock gingerbread ROM, rooted with radio 5.17.05.08. For now seems ok
problem is still here, it seems when I enable always on mobile data that I have the signal when in sleep mode but today again I had issues
Now I flashed 5.17.05.23 radio to see if it will help
I really think it is hardware problem, I will send it to repair to see what they say
