Hi everyone, i've been having problems with my GPS on my HTC Desire a8181 here and I just don't dont understand why.
The phone I had before (HTC Touch Diamond 2) had GPS as well and although it wasnt as powerful a phone as this baby, it actually got the job done for me.
My phone is rooted and "S-OFF"ed.
I bought this phone and since the day i got it i couldn't get GPS to work... ever!
I am using the LeeDroid 2.3d rom
I have tried all of the roms and just can't get it to work.
I even changed the gps.conf file to the asia pool as I am located in Bangladesh.
I get 0 views and 0 locks on GPS test
I would really appreciate any type of help as I have done everything i could to get it done, and paid a lot of money to get this phone!
Thanks in advance!
You could try and update your radio to 5.14.05.17. If that has no effect then your GPS hardware maybe faulty. Also, the Diamond 2 was Windows Mobile I think. At least the Diamond was so it might be different being on Android.

it does not unlock the phone it restores those that flashed with a non edge radio rom so the radio stops working

That's why i mentioned that Me_p's ROM is new one.. That's the same one 1.37.720.2 WWE.. Boinger66.. Dont think this is old ROM as quoted by Outkasted..
I bought mine one for 26,700, from distributor directly.. Eagerly waiting to see it on 8th when i get it in hand (my relative coming back with it from Kerala)
tho am in India i got the 3g model
I really dont understand why they would release a 2g version just for the Indian market
when 3g is gonna come out in airtel and vodafone in mid sep.another wierd marketing strategy
anyone from chennai know where they service HTC phones ?
Question
Hi Guys,
if anyone is aware may be from past experiences, How will we be getting official ROM updates? will it be through Airtel or will be via HTC eCLub?
Thanks

We can never expect ROM upgrades.. Got my Diamond today.. Awesome. Was about to flash Bepe' ROM and halted after reading this thread..
Why is it not advised for flashing? Due to SIM locks? Someone mentioned non edge radio, what if i flash the rom without the radio? possible?

if you flash your radio wont work
until you flash back to indian 2g compatible rom
Thanx for the info.. So I have your modded panosha' ROM as the only option left? For the moment I dont see any big difference with it to the original stock rom apart from a little more Storage memory. Only thing I dislike is the SMS and MMS accounts being together

Hi guys ,

I think it´s not a quiestion of the ROM, it´s more about radio version
I live in Mexico and tested a lot of ROM´s and radios, so I recommend you to choose the best ROM that fits your personal needs and try with different radios till you get the best signal.
Personally I would recommend Tomal v7.6 and you can start with the original radio and start form there (You can find in the Wiki all radio versions)
Hope this helps
Cheers

Recommendation would be Tomals v7.7 which run perfect. Radio Version would be 1.15. In the v8.0 Bluetooth, Infrared are still not working and there still might be a few other bugs which I did try v8.0 and was very disappointed and went back to v7.7 which I highly recommend at this time.

that´s one of the main reasons mate, on 7.6 your battery will not drain so fast, and in my personal experience it´s more stable and customizable
So givi it a try and judge by yourself.
After choosing a ROM, if I remember well, your main problem is the signal reception. So try with different radios on the same ROM
Good luck!

Here you can download several radios to test: ftp://xda:*****@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/Radio/
And here it is v7.6: http://vidmes.com/xda/Uni/ROMs/Tomal...9209_1_0_2.exe
For instructions to install read the Wiki, but if you already installed v7.7 it´s exactly the same way you done it
Let me know about your radio tests

Maybe your bluetooth is broken...
try a new rom, 1.37 is so old. If your bluetooth doesn't work on a newer rom, then I don't think you will be able to use your bluetooth on any rom. Or, maybe you're not doing something right.

If you just bought your phone you might be able to have it replaced or if you can flash the original SPL and rom, maybe you can get service from HTC. The diamond is less than a year old so I doubt they would need a receipt.

Unknown... if you are getting a "hardware problem" message then it is probably safe to say there is a hardware problem. You should try to contact Tmobile UK and maybe they can arrange for service for your device; you might have to mail it back to the UK. If you can reproduce the same error on several roms, then it is most likely a hardware issue as all roms use the same methods to interact with the bluetooth hardware.

That would be a good idea. You should be able to find the files you need here on the board. I will help you look. I am thinking the wiki.....
Before you do, though, try using another rom first. It's possible that the rom you used might have some bug(s).
Try dutty's or AZTOR or the rom I have been using while I wait for something better, itje's Touch-It Experience RC1 (I like this rom the best so far... my own opinion though).
AFTER you install the stock ROM and stock RADIO, follow this link and follow the instructions closely:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324837&postcount=20
If you can find the original Tmobile UK ROM, it will have the radio with it. Then you just need to follow the link above to replace your SPL.
You might be able to find your ROM here:
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=483
Enter your S/N and you can download the file.
