In my experience, it may take 3-10 minutes before the GPS acquires the first satelite, after having flashed to a new ROM.

Use visual GPS software
Hi dude,
Take a look here,
www.visualgps.net/VisualGPS
download the soft and test your GPS on your mobile, let it configure automatically.
Then lunch your GPS software, like tomtom or else, if needed, try to downgrade your radio to 1.46.30.11.
If needed try all radio till u get the gps fix with visualGps.
Make me know if works dude.

thanks i will try it and give some result tommorow

I think you just need to try it at a different location. Sometimes the response of the phone is dependent on the location.
For example, I work on one of the top floors of one of the tallest buildings in the part of town where I work, and have a clear view to the sky in all directions (absolutely no obstructions). Yet, I can leave my phone in the window for over an hour and never get a satellite fix. I can even open the window and stick the phone out the window and still get no fix. However, as soon as I leave work, and get to a different location (even with buildings towering over me) I get a fix. On the flip side, at home, I sit down away from the window, the window has thick curtains, and there is another house right outside my window creating an obstruction and yet I have no problem getting a fix.
My suggestion...go to another location when possible, soft reset the phone, and restart the application that uses gps. If you are driving, even better (it's more likely that you will reach an area where the position of your phone with regard to the satellite is good and you will get a fix).
This has worked for me irrespective of the radio rom (and I have flashed 1.38, 1.41, 1.46, and 1.50 radio versions to my phone and have always gotten a satellite fix).

Thanks for your help guys...
but still no luck...i'd tried all day long but still no satelite seeing on my trinity.
so anyone can give me link for radio??i only have 1.41...,146....and 1.50....

try install GPs test cab

i think your problem is your radio version try the radio version that i mention yesterday

yeah, it should be radio related, or your GPS chip is having a random hardware error unrelated to your ROM flashing. its pretty unlikely that the problem was the ROM (although i guess anything is possible..)
Recently, my GPS will work, and then i'll turn it off.. when i want to turn it back on it sometimes can't locate the GPS on any com port... most times i need to soft reset to get it working again.. not sure what that's about.
if you saw one satellite for 30 seconds, then there's hope for you make sure you're outside with clear view of the sky.. and definitely try a different radio ROM.. beyond that, i'm not sure if there's anything you can do

[Q] signal issue

Hi
I'm using the latest kernel .32
Barebones RLS 4_5 Odex build
1.70.18.02 Radio
the thing that I don't have any signal in my kaiser. it simply shows the name of the network provider but with no service at all. I have tried several builds and it's the same thing "no service". If I try to search for the network manually it says "error while searching for the network". I can import contacts from the sim and the radio that I'm using currently used to work well with WinMo.
anyone has an idea how to solve this???
P.S: I have searched for the issue and I didn't fined answers

Try a different radio rom, preferrably 1.65 . Also if your using an old build with the new kernal or vice versa that can affect your wifi.

I have taken your advice and tried several radios:
1.65.21.18
1.71.09.01
1.70.18.02
1.70.19.09
nothing have changed
the problem still persists I have no signal nor service
WiFi, Bluetooth, Camera and sounds work fine
is it possible to be a hardware problem?
the build I'm using is relatively new; in fact it's your Barebones CM6.1 froyo release.
I have tried newer build and nothing have changed

no certainly it didn't help
it's a nightmare
a phone without signal
I remember with my early days with android, I used to have good signal
but as I started using different builds and updating the kernel seeking for better stability and better battery life. the signal was lost at some point which I don't recognize.
is it a kernel problem?
or hardware?

How about flashing back to stock WM ROM?
if the problem still occurred maybe it is a hardware issue

You tried almost exclusively 1.7x radios. Try more 1.65 radios. As hard as it is to believe for most people its just 1 radio that works for them. I had to try 11 different ones on my kaiser before I found one that worked proper.

If WM didn't sove the signal issue it sounds like your phone may have an internal problem with the radio unrelated to android.

are you saying it's hardware problem?
what part do you suspect?

Well its either the chip itself or you have a bad antenna. Could try an external antenna.

I guess that would cost a fortune to fix (especially in my country) if I could find someone to fix it in the first place

[Q] Does GPS Work on Cm 7.2?

Hey guys
I am running Cm 7.2 at the moment but i dont think the GPS works. On the stock rom when i activated the GPS the little satellite symbol would appear in the notification bar but now (even on 7.1) when i tap the GPS button, no symbol comes up so i was wondering if it worked or not?

you need to reflash the radio, then the gps should work!

I have no idea about the radio! its the only part i truly dont understand if you could tell me about it, i know people have had 4g by flashing some different radio but i really have no idea!!
Please help meee!

4g is not supported on our wildfire.
To flash a radio to the device you need to have cwm recovery 2.5 or below. 3+ wont work instantly.
Make sure your phone has enough battery!!
cmw 2.5.X or below:
Just flash the radio
I cant give you the url to a radio file. only by pm if you need it, and cant find it on xda.
cmw 3+
Flash first the attached file (update1) to get temporary cmw 2.5.X
Then flash the radio
Hazou
Hit the thanks if it worked

Open an app which actually uses GPS to see the GPS symbol on the status bar. Example - Google Maps. When an app is not using the GPS, no symbol will be shown.

Which ROM were you using prior to this?
This happened with me once. What worked for me was to flash a Sense-based ROM (RemPuzzle), turn on GPS, open app like Maps, set location, then DO NOT TURN OFF GPS and wipe and flash cm7.2 again. Your GPS will work this time.

Hi, I'm having the same problem. Reflashing radio did not work.
It does show up on the status-bar after flashing radio, but doesn't really seem to work. No signal on co-pilot or GPS Status.

I had the same problem, dowloaded gps test from market, opened the app and gps on, then suddenly it worked.

Hello,
The GPS works correctly with CM 7.1 and CM 7.2.
After flashing the CM 7.2 zip file, you have to flash the gapps zip file.

it works with me normally.

I've tried all this, nothing works... faulty radio probably :/

[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 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.

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

[Q] Poor signal

I get very poor signal at home. When I try my SIM in my old ZTE Blade it gets a better signal. I have taken my Desire apart and cleaned up the antenna contacts as per advise here:
http://www.mobot.net/why-does-my-htc-desire-have-poor-signal
This hasnt helped at all.
Does anyone have any ideas? Would a new radio/RIL combination help?
I am running CM 7.1
Radio - 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
My rom has HTC-RIL 1.6.1062G (Apr 23 2010, 17:35:06)
Thanks,
Womble

Has that been the case with your Desire eversince or just when you used CM7? Before you mess with the radio, try the CyanogenMod_v7.2.0.1 and see if that fixes things for you.

I only moved to this house after i changed to CM7.

I would try and see if the same thing happens when you use a different rom. Try Oxygen rom and see if there is an improvement. You really dont want to mess with radio unless you are sure that's the cause. Bad roms can easily be replaced. Bad radio flash can't.
via xda app

Good idea about changing ROM, i will investigate that. Do you know what RIL is in oxygen and cm7.2?

I honestly don't know. There's a command to pull that information via adb I think but I haven't tried it yet.
I've used this app to get the RIL info. It doesn't do anything else but get the info from the rom you are currently running. I found it on XDA but it's been a long time I cant remember where.

In the terminal type:
su
getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"
That gives you the version of RIL you have. CM7.1 has HTC-RIL 1.6.1062G (Apr 23 2010, 17:35:06), what does CM7.2 have?

I would go for the lastest radio: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 It works great with all the roms you've mentioned. Be careful flashing it, if your desire shutdowns while flashing radio you'll probably get a brick.

Yes, it didnt help at all. I dont see anyone else suffering like this. My old ZTE Blade still has better signal so I will go back to that until I can fix this or get a new phone.

OK I have managed to pin this problem down a bit more.
Occasionally the phone just loses signal and says 'No network', at this stage it says signal is -96 dbm yet I could make a call earlier when the phone had -111 dbm. I just dont understand it, what would cause this kind of behaviour?

Womble, did you ever get to the bottom of this? sounds similar to my problem, i'm pulling my hair out!

I am afraid I never did work it out. Good luck.
