[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

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

Connectivity Problems with GingerSense ROMs

Hi all!
I've been using Desire for about six months and I've changed lots of ROM's without facing serious problems...
A few days ago I decided to flash a ROM with Gingerbread and Sense UI.
So I flashed LeeDrOiD 3.0.2 (full wiped).
After flashing, I immediately tried to connect to my router, in order to sync my Gmail account and to download some apps.
I noticed that although the device was successfully connected to my router, it could not connect to the Internet.
The browser wouldn't load any site, I couldn't sync my Gmail etc...
Reflashing the ROM and rebooting the router unfortunately didn't solve the problem.
I thought it was a ROM's bug, so I rolled back to another Froyo ROM (Internet was fine here), because I had to leave for vacations and I needed a fully functional device.
Now that I returned to my home, I saw that LeeDrOiD 3.0.3 was out! I flashed it, but I got disappointed when I faced the same problem.
The device was successfully connected to my router, but I had no Internet at all.
Then I flashed AuraxTremeGinger 8.5, and guess what... Again, the exact same problem.
So I asked a neighbor to give me his router's key...
I noticed that when I was connecting to his router, I could download anything I wanted.
Meaning Internet was working just fine!
I never had this problem with any Froyo ROM, never had it with any Gingerbread AOSP ROM...
Only with ROM's which combine Gingerbread and Sense UI.
Can someone find out what's going on here, or at least give me some advice about this?

Change the wireless channel
Sent from CM7

Meaple thanks for the reply!
I changed the channel from 1 to 13 and I noticed something really strange.
If I try to load any site within 4-5 secs from the time I change the channel, the site will be successfully loaded.
After 4-5 secs, nothing will work.
Which means that I have Internet for the first 4-5 secs (from the time time I'll change the channel), and afterwards nothing...

Did you flash new radio and ril.zip for gingerbread?
Most of gingerbread roms' ril are not for GB.
S-off RCMIXv8++　cm7hboot
htc-ril2.2.0131HM

You don't need the RIL if you're using the 2.3.3 Sense ROM as it's already in it. Radio is recommended, though

Thanks for the replies!
I flashed the 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 Radio (which is the recommended one for LeeDrOiD), I even upgraded to LeeDrOiD 3.0.4 but still no luck...
It's really frustrating cause I can't understand what's going on...

Hi once again!
I revived the thread, only to mention that the problem was fixed by upgrading my router's firmware.

Another GPS Problem

Hey guys,
Don't shoot me, I've already done the research and still can't seem to find an answer. Regardless of ROM I can't get GPS to find any satellite's, fresh root, SR4.2, Synergy RC2, CM7 nightly, MIUI, Virtuous. I unrooted to see if it was a possible hardware issue, which it isn't as an unrooted phone gives me fast locks onto whatever sat is near. GPS Status shows nothing in the sky even after a A-GPS reset and download, although I know there's always at least 3 that are visible. I've tried clearing cache for any gps based app, tried running fresh rom installs instead of backups all with no luck. Any ideas guys?
Currently I'm running:
ROM - SR 4.2
Baseband - 2.15.00.07.28
Kernel - Stock Kernel from SR4.2 (2.6.32.17-g9a2fc16 htc-kernel[email protected] #1
PRL - 52341
HW Version - 0002
CWM - 3.0.0.7
HBoot - 0.92.0000
Radio - 2.15.00.07.28

Looks like I'm stuck going back to stock unrooted until I can get this fixed.

I'm having the exact same problem. Tried multiple roms and doing A-GPS resets. I'm not sure what else to try, anyone have any other ideas? May have to unroot for now so I can use GPS while traveling.

If you are in NY or other new 4g area it may be related to a problem others are having with AGPS upate VZW pushed. No ROM seems to work.

yep, it was an issue with New York. We drove to Boston on Sunday, I tried clearing my A-GPS in western Massachusetts and suddenly got a lock on GPS! Google maps then worked perfectly all the way to Boston.

Well there is no way I'm giving up root or custom roms, Google or Verizon need a better solution than that.

I actually fixed mine and never left NY, I dropped to stock then went back to SR 4.3 and haven't had a problem since, and I've flashed 3.0 roms and SR 4.3 multiple times with no problem. So if you're still having a problem unroot then reroot. It should fix it.

[Q] GPS not locking for any 4.3 or 4.2 roms

Hi everybody,
For a while I had been running Wicked rom (version 7 and then 8) without any issues at all. Data was great, wifi was working, calls and texts were made perfectly. Not a single issue as far as I could see. GPS was working just the way I was expecting it to (I use my GPS for navigation on a weekly basis).
I've explored other roms as well and I've never encountered anything serious or out of the ordinary.
Now this problem has appeared recently. Ever since I flashed a 4.3 rom (Infamous V9), my GPS has stopped working. It keeps trying to lock but never does. I've left it on for a long time too, it never locked; It just keeps searching.
I've even tried apps I've seen suggested such as GPS status & toolbox. Nothing I've done with those apps have worked. When I went back to the wicked rom (version 8), gps still did not work. Prior to the Infamous v9 rom, I had flashed the Cyanogenmod 10.2 rom and the gps was fine.
Now, regardless of what I do, the GPS no longer works on any of the 4.2 or 4.3 roms I've flashed.
When I flashed VirginRom (android 4.4), I had no signal on my phone at all, but that was due to my modem. I followed the instructions to odin flash the new modem and everything worked! On that 4.4 rom, everything worked perfect. More importantly, the GPS was working again and I was able to use it for navigation when I went out. I tried to test out other 4.4 roms. I flashed the dandroid google edition and cyanogenmod 11 on this forum. Both of these roms worked perfectly. The GPS was working and it locked within a few seconds.
When I tried to go back to any of the 4.2 or 4.3 roms, the GPS still did not work, even though everything else was fine.
I'm not the techie type of person, compared to so many people on this wonderful forum. I just do my best to follow instructions and learn from what is done ><. Does anyone here know what the issue I'm experiencing is?
Just for some added info:
I guess it's obvious my model is SGH-M919
Baseband changed though. It used to be MDL. Now it's M919UVUEMK2.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.

Have you tried the app faster fix app? Also, do you have Google maps and earth installed?

ZE551ML GPS Problem

does anyone know where radio firmware flash image stored?
is it in ifwi? or somewhere else.
here's what happened:
couple weeks ago, my GPS stops working, it keeps searching for satellite signal, and found none.
recently I realised that GPS isn't working at all, i know by downloading software gps status on playstore.
it was on XOSP, and now am back to stock and facing the same problem. the GPS can't see the satellites.
i found about service ROM and flashed it, and suddenly the GPS starts to work, and getting satellite's receptions.
then i switched back to normal rom using raw files, everything seems to be perfect. update it to current one, and the problem came back. it starting not to see the satellites.
is it my phone has sw/hw problem?
if it sw, where's the problem source?
thanks in advance.
