GPS not working

Hi all,
what could be the reason my GPS is only working after a hard reset (factory reset) and only for a short time.
I installed no software at all after the last factory reset but after a while i had no GPS (Google Maps) anymore.
Then installed PockeTTY and connected to COM4 (that's the port Start | Settings | System | external GPS told me), but no data at all.
My actual settings are COM4, Hardware port none, 4800 Baud, Manage automatically.
Have you got any idea? Can it be a hardware fault though it works after a hard reset?
Thanks, Franky

QuickGPS & Location setting error.

Randomly when I update QuickGPS I get an error:
"Data Activation Failed:
Location setting must be on so that the latest satellite data can be used to speed up GPS positioning"
I'm on a T-Mobile USA Touch Pro 2.
If I restart my device, I can update QuickGPS without error. But once I get this error, I always do until I restart my device. Its like the "location setting" just dissapeared. Anyone have a similar issue or know of a fix?

I'm having same problem.
I've try to update the QuickGPS and it tells me I need to set location to on but I can not find it anywhere. It suppose to be at Start, Settings, Phone, Services then I should be able to see locations but I don't see it.
It's missing and I hate to call customer's services and run into someone who reads out of manuals.
Any takers?
TIA.

Anyone have any ideas?

same prob
I see that my location is set to on, but wont update regardless of soft reset. just updated to europe wwe 6.5 from htc site. didnt have prob with 6.1 stock from tmo usa

I have the same problem with the stock rom from sprint. it will say i need to turn on location setting, but when i look, it's already on. also, if i try to turn off location setting, it stays on. when i look again, after selecting off, ok, etc., the location setting says on again. soft reset is the only thing that fixes it.
after soft reset, i quickgps, then run garmin and it works fine. after i turn off garmin and don't use it for awhile, then i can't get a fix and i get the location setting error when trying to run quickgps.
any ideas?

I'm using HTC Topaz with official WM6.5. I've found that this problem happens after installing WM6VoIP.cab (it's necessary for enabling SIP). Btw not only QuickGPS fails with update, GPS completely stops working.
Removing of "Sleuth's WM6VoIP" through "Add\remove programs:" doesn't work - only Hard reset helps.

GPS, after reboot

Hi there.
I realise my GPS takes longer to obtain a fix whenever i reboot my device. Is this normal to you all out there? =(
If yes, how do you all fix this problem?

yes it happen to me too ..
the solution that works for me is, firstly install fasterfix (download from market) .. and set to custom server : for malaysia --> my.pool.ntp.org
after that, open gps status (download from market), then menu -> tools -> manage a-gps -> reset ... after reset , open back menu -> tools -> manage a-gps -> download ..
then let gps search for satellite , once lock , then you'll get fast gps lock after that ..

Hi hedayat7
Oh ok. I did not think about that. haha. Ok. Thanks for the suggestion!

[Q] Bada 2.0 S8500 GPS location Problem after Upgrade 2.0

Bada 2.0 S8500 GPS location Problem after Upgrade 2.0
Dear Friends,
i am facing problem in Location Service/GPS system my Bada S8500 after upgrade Bada 2.0. It's not working.
Please any one solve my problem...

If you just upgraded from bada 1.x to bada 2.0 and and now have problem with Navigation (Route 66), do this simple setting:
1. Setting => Location =>Location service (set it to on; i.e. green colour).
2. Back to main menu, launch "Navigation" (allow it to run for few seconds)
3. Then click on "More" (on Navigation menu) => Contents (download contents for Navigation, to sync your license; download maps; and download any other contents you have purchased e.g safety camera, etc).
4. That's all.
NB: In case your problem is not with Navigation (Route 66), please do well to explain in details what problem you are facing.

Normally when you install any location/GPS app manually, you need to also activate/include this app in the location service manually. Otherwise you will always receive the said error of 'Location service is disabled'
For Example, I installed the GPS Status app.
When I tried to start the GPS, it displayed error of 'Location service is disabled'.
Yes, even if I have enabled location service in my phone, but I have not enabled it for GPS Status app.
To solved this, I go to Setting => Location => Location service (already set to ON, if not, turn it ON),
then on same page/menu, scroll down to bottom of page where you will find your installed location/GPS app (in this example, GPS Status), and turn it ON.
Now go back and launch your location/GPS app, and it will no longer display the error. It will now work.

[Q] GPS issue

Hi all, I'm having problems with getting my GPS to function correctly. Somehow I missed this on the CMwiki before I flashed CM:
"To mitigate any problems with the radio interface layer or GPS, it is strongly recommended to change the following Settings in your stock ROM before installing CyanogenMod:
Change from Global to CDMA/LTE network mode: Settings > Mobile Data > Preferred Network
Enable all location services: Settings > Location > (all location services) = On"
Here is what I'm working with:
Device: Verizon HTC One (m7vzw)
CM version: 10.2.0-RC1-m7vzw
I've tried using TopNTP and GPS Status apps as suggested in other threads, but no luck in resolving the GPS issue. Wanted to see if anyone had any better advice before I flash back to stock and reflash CM with all locations services enabled.

I also had this issue. What I did was flash any sense rom ( I used EclipticONE), change the network, enable all location services, make sure you have a stable gps lock and then flash back to CM
