[Q] GPS issues since flashing ROM & radio - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Very new to XDA devs so apologies if this is a simple one
I have a Desire HD rooted, ENG S-OFF, radio S-OFF, Android Revolution HD 3.1, radio 12.35d.60.140fP_26.06.03.24.M2 and no matter what I try the GPS will not work. As far as I can see the radio I am using was the one recommended for use with this ROM? BTW everything else works great.
I tried flashing back to stock 1.36 and the GPS works no problems. I don't think this is a ARHD specific issue as I tried CM7 with the same problem.
Any ideas please?

i have been having GPS issues as well. Sock works and for me Android Revolution HD 3.1 worked very well 3.2 started to get a bit iffy.
I am on CM7 RC2 and its working now, i am still testing thou, but i have been through a lot of radios. I am testing this one atm http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996630

I will try and flash that radio when I get home from work, anyone think there would be issues flashing 12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M onto a DHD with ARHD 3.1? Still quite new to this so really don't want to brick my baby lol.
Thanks
Ok, I decided to give it a second go. I did a full wipe, reinstalled ARHD 3.1 via recovery and then reflashed the radio 12.35d.60.140fP_26.06.03.24.M2 and all works now GPS locks in 5-6s max. The only difference between this install and the last one was I manually wiped the device this time (davlik cache etc) instead of using the recovery reset.

[Q] CyanogenMod 7.0.0-RC2 (HTC Vision)

Had great success with CyanogenMod 7 RC1 and the #12 nightly (from 3/2/2011) on my G2.
Just wrapped up a quick flash to RC-2, but quickly started seeing weirdness, namely a continuous reboot to the CyanogenMod 7 bootup animation (blue skating android). Has anyone else ran into this on RC2 on the G2?
For now, restoring my nandroid backup from the #12 nightly which seemed pretty solid.
Also, fwiw, any US T-mobile users running into GPS issues (not locking) on the newest radio (26.06.02.27), I can confirm downgrading the radio back to 26.03.02.26 fixed this problem in my scenario.
Yes, same behavior. No idea about the radio and GPS. Just got my G2 today
I had the same issue when I went from RC1 to RC2, it kept rebooting so I just turned it off and it rebooted normal and has been working good ever since, maybe I just got lucky, idk.

If you're having bootloops try to do a reflash of the zip and reboot.
Many GPS issues have been fixed in the latest couple nightlies. For many people flashing the new radio doesn't work.
I've had GPS issues for a while on the stock T-mo radio, and it works fine now with the latest nightlies.
For detailed posts and info on the GPS, go read the nightly forum, there's 100000 posts on it.

Also can go other way. Fixed my GPS No Lock problem in CM7-RC1 going from 26.03.02.26 to 26.06.02.27
Perhaps it doesn't matter what radio you use, it just needs the radio to be flashed??? (YMMV, I'm still newb-ish)

[Q] Unblock Me FREE issue on Sense based Custom ROMs

Hello guys i've got some strage force close in the game "Unblock Me FREE" with Sense based Custom ROMs like LeeDrOiD or Android Revolution HD, on the Stock HTC 1.32 ROM and CyanogenMod 7 it works well.
Someone else got this issue?
Yes i did a full wipe, and yes i've downloaded the ROMs twice and checked the md5sum's and yes i used the correct radio.
Thank you
Hi,
I was having the same problems! I even had problems with it on CM7, before I wiped the dalvik cache.
Mate of mine running the same custom sense ROM had no problems with Unblock Me Free, so I really don't know what the cause is.
Have you tried wiping the dalvik cache?
Yes i tried but still force close.
It has got to be something wrong with Unblock me FREE - perhaps we should email the developer, and with any luck they will look at it for us
Hm. I'm not sure, because I tried it now the third time and with the stock rom it works fine.
And with the new GingerBread leak it worked too.
I'm confused but I will write an email.
Yeah I'm not too sure either... it's a bizarre issue that's for sure.
Good luck! I'm running cm7 now

it is very hard can not unblocked!
Having the same problem, anyone come up with a solution yet?
Running LeeDroid 2.2.2
Thanks
Ali
Unfortunately the only solution I've found is to flash a different ROM, like CM7 nightly or a stock ROM.
You could try the gingerbread leedroid ROM maybe, I haven't tried it with Unblock me free yet.

[Q] Cant get GPS to work on nightly

hey guys
any fix for gps in nightly builds?
i cant get it to work at alll
any help?
I've been using stock radio all throughout CM and the last time it worked for me was with build 4. I'm on build 28 or 29 now, but read somewhere in the thread that reflashing the stock radio worked for them, so I tried it. I am on a G2, whose stock radio is the 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M. I flashed the nightly, then reflashed the radio. I can't get a GPS lock in my house (I've been able to do it before), but I tried it a few miles away while at an In-And Out drive-thru and I got a lock within seconds and was able to use navigation just fine with voice.
G2 stock radio download link (verify this is your current radio if you're on stock)
Radio thread (instructions too - fastboot with the radio renamed on the root of sd card)
I'm not sure how this plays out in the past two nightlies, but this worked for me. You'd probably have to reflash the radio every nightly.
If you're on a Desire Z, I'd recommend checking what radio you're on and looking for it in that radio thread and trying to flash your current radio after the nightly.
cheers ill try it i have the europe htc desire z so ill have to find the stock radio
thanks!!!
Or you can use RC2....
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
nah the rc2 doesnt work for me either ive tried all the nightly builds and cyanogen mod rc1 and rc2 and they dont work shame, the only trouble i have is with gps.
i have a question, my radio is this one:
Vision_RADIO_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26
MD5 Check Sum: CB45ED9CB543E433E49B8022FC17ACB9
from OTA Update Tmobile rom 1.22
however my phone is the desire z straight from htc, does it matter if the radio i flash is from the tmobile rom
thanks
When I did mess with my radios, the GPS started working but my phone stopped recognizing HSDPA, even after going back to the stock radio. I went back to 6.1.1 then restored my previous 7 nightly. The "H" symbol came back but my GPS vanished. I did try the RIL auto-matching install, but that came up with nothing.
I'll do more searching, but this is a weird situation.
Are you talking about cm7 nightlys? Cuz they fixed it on #29 I think. Well I have #30 nd it is working
Sent from my SilverBullet "HTCDesireZ running CM7"
okay ill try and flash again lol
and i know its weired lol i tried using the gps status and tools but it just keeps showing the loading circle lol
ah well, its not that much of a big deal, i spose roms are developing every day so hopefully there will be a fix soon lol
thanks

[Q] GPS Issue

Hey guys,
i've a very strange issue with the GPS of my DHD :/ I'ved used Android Revolution HD since 3.0 and then switched to Cyanogenmod 7.0.0 to try some other ROM(just for testing). Since the RC4 of CM7 was a bit buggy I fullwiped and changed back to ARHD. After that my DHD never found a single satellite. I've tryed really everything I could imagine for now - manual fullwipe, Fullwipe1.3, several(in fact all available) radios, different roms. But I've never got any satellites, even not with fasterfix :/
My Rom history should be Stock-ARHD2.x-ARHD3.0-CM7 RC4-CM7 Nightly #38-CoreDroid5.2?-ARHD3.5-CM7 Stable-changing between arhd and cm7 nearly every single day for testing. All with the same 8gb sd card which was fullwiped for felt 1000 times the last week now >_>
Cause I really can't imagine what's the problem and I also can't believe that my GPS hardware is screwed up I've opened this thread.
Sorry for my bad english. And thanks for all the answers, you'r my last hope for now ;O
have you tried using kernels???? i have experienced better connectivity in all wireless connections, namely WiFi, Cell Radio and GPS. but, again I'm on Lee Droid v 2.2.3.
hope this helps or gives you some idea to go about your problem.

I had this issue, my fix was to flash a Stock RRU, leave it outside and try navigating to somewhere, just leave it outside for about 20 minutes then check it, should be working then just root again and everything and if you experience the problem again, just do the 20 minute step.

ei boy!!! i had the same problem with my gps signal... but i fixed it by this method:
before install it do a full wipe.
install a wwe ruu (i was flashed 1.32 for example) later i was do a complete wipe
1-data cache wipe
2-dalvik cache
3-mounts and storage: format all options...format sd-ext included,don´t erase anything...don´t worry (but no "format sd-card)
LATER:
boot this ROM and RUN GPS (I HAS GOT NAVIGATOR GOOGLE) AT THE STREET OF COURSE!!!hahaha
test it and later root the rom... eng-off...supercid...and install rom manager and clockworkmod recovery....
later... do a full wipe and formats (important) and flash your desired ROM..
my problem just dissapeared doing it...
now i am with COREDROID V3.3 FROYO 2.2.1 and its awesome!! gps its soo fast..ENJOY MAN!!!!
EDIT:IF YOU FLASH A STOCK ROM WWE RUU you are going to loose root permissions.... and must to do it again (with your prefered method)
sorry for my bad english B-)
At first thanks guys, I'll test your hints of course since I had 1 satellite fix some days ago :/ But this should help me a lot! I'll post my results when I'm done with it
Edit : Installed Stock Rom now an I got 8/8 satellites inside of the house Will testing more and more now ... But hey, it works! I love u guys

8 SAT!!! Awesome my DHD only works with two hahahha. what´s the version of stock ROM that you used????
uff, don't really know the version of the stock rom i've used :/ but hey, with my very first stock rom i usually got 10-12 fixes outside
still got some strange issues with several roms(leedroid e.g) but i'm still testing ...
Try RCMix with latest GB radio
Mine fixes instantly and sees from a window half the sky with 8 sats I broke my leg so cant go outside for a while but I think with a full sky will see more

Anyone else got no Bluetooth? (absolutly don't work)

Hello,
at first sorry for my bad english, I hope u could understand
This is my Desire:
MIUI 1.7.1 - Android 2.3.4
Eng S-Off
Hboot 0.85.2007
Radio 26.08.03.07_M
Baseband 12.35d.60.140fp
Kernel 2.6.35.13-LorDmodUE-V5.0
My problem is, that BT doesn't work for me! I turned it on...after a few seconds the switch returns back into off position.
I tried everything, full wipe, wipe script, etc...
I rooted my DHD out of the box, so I don't know if it worked in the beginning! I never used BT before, but now I got a BT Car Radio...and now I need it of course! I thought the problem is the Radio maybe, so I tried to flash the Revolution Rom with the corresponding Radio...but it still don't work!
Any suggestion for that problem?
No ideas??
Update everything in your DHD. MIUI 1.7.15 already out there, use recommended radio 12.54.60.25_26.9.4.11_M2 and also fresh LordModv6.1cfs/bfs kernel.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
EDIT: latest MIUI 1.7.22 and the radio above is my preferred radio
flashed your preffered radio and lordmod 6.1 cfs...but it still dont work
Wiped everything, also formated the hole sd card
Logcat says :
Bt_enable_impl : timeout vor hci device to come up
Whoa, there's no need to wipe out the whole sd card! Hmmm, I'm feeling guilty right now. Okay, usually changing the mix of kernel does the trick though. Have you tried to revert to stock rom?

I have the same problem when my battery is over 80%. If I restart my phone after the battery drops below 80% then my bluetooth turns on. I am running Cyanogen 7 nightly with LordModUE 6.3 and radio .09.04.11.

No problem mate...I thought that could not actually be the problem...but that was my last hope so I wanted to exclude all possibilities! I have backuped everything before formatting, so do not worry...
I tried the Revolution Rom with corresponding kernel/radio...also without success...i will now try the stock rom...
did you try using another radio?
it could also be hardware related
