Weak Gps signal - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have leeDroid 3.2 (sense removed)
and leeDroid recommended radio
Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
I have a very weak gps signal , it is never able to get my location. However if i turn wifi on , it gives a better location , but with mobile data on it gives my location in some other neighbourhood.
I have replaced ntp server in gps.conf
Im from Pakistan.
I have also tried Gps Status app to reset AData
None of the above worked.
Any help ?
Thanks

Hello,
You are suggested to test your GPS on other roms such as Revolution HD or an updated stock rom.
Test on a ROM which needs different radio version , as the radio is controlling hardware behavioure.

I installed cyanogenmod 6.1.3 and GPS works great..... I was thinking that the problem may have been the radio but the same radio with the 6.1.3 works great, so I guess something wrong in the ROM CM7

Update your radio to the latest radio and it should work fine
SOLVED - GPS Problem with CM7
Last night I flashed Build # 6 of the RC1 and everything now works fine.....
which radio are we talking about? link?
You could try FasterFix from the Market. It should help.
You could also try to flash the Radio which the Devs recommend.
No problem with GPS on CM7 build#6
RADIO: 12.28e.60.140fp_26.04.02.17_M2
I confirm, no problem with radio 12.28e.60.140fp_26.04.02.17_M2
Nothing wrong when I was on CM7 before switching back to revolution ROM.

GPS status says I have 2 fixed satellites and fixes on them within seconds. Google maps cannot find my location when only gps is enabled. HTC desire hd cm7 rc4.
same problem here
#Current Rom Setup - Android v2.3.3 (GB) powered by CM v7.0.0
#Current Kernel - LorDmod v3.0.1-CFS
#Current Recovery - CWM v3.0.0.6
#Current Radio - 12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2
and my gps is not working on google maps or google earth any solution?
For my Desire HD a Speck case killed the GPS signal. Remove the case, GPS is fine???? A problem like this could mask a lot of suspected software problems since who would suspect the case?

[Q] Is there a GB ROM with working GPS

I ve tried one or Two Roms but they all seem to have Problems getting a GPS fix
just wondering if anyone uses GPS alot and knows of a working GB Rom
Maybe you can apply this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13710492&postcount=2987
Evey one I've used has been fine
sygic aura 3.0 works great with LeDrOiD 3.0.5, at least for me.

Can you tell me how to push this file like it mentions in the post.
Have been having problems with GPS since CM7 stable, never had problems with it before.
Radio?

Could be just the rom. I know that some roms don't work properly for everyone. Just keep trying roms and if they all fail, then check to see if your GPS is actually working properly.
GPS is fine on InsertCoin A2SD V29
Using Ginger Villain 2.3 in combination with radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 and HTC-Ril_2.2.1.1003G no problem with the GPS.
I had a problem with GPS freeze but tried some different radios and get a fix in 30 seconds....
I think ALL Gingerbread ROM has a working GPS..I've tried a lot of ROM and it always works.

New radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

Any experiences of this new radio yet?
Also is there a new RIL implemented or is it still the old HTC-RIL 2.2.0028HM?

I guess since it still is the 32.56 release the RIL you mentioned should work fine.

I can just say that for now battery life is excellent ...39h - on 61% with "normal" use. GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth and data works ok.
P.S. I'm on MIUI 1.5.6 rom
No poblem here ... I'm on RcMix S 1.4 .
There is no newer RIL coming from Desire , there are several from Desire HD and S , didn't tried them .
All looking good here, Telus Desire, Reflex S 1.9.9.9 Lite
flashed it today,and no probs RcMix S 1.4
Working great. RCMix S 1.4.

Is this safe to flash on leedroid 3.0.6? Or is that what this topic is here to find out?

Nice thx i try
Doesn t work with latest Ril
Is more difficult to take Hspa!!!
it's just me??
So if I just installed the latest CM7 (7.0.3), will installing a later radio improve anything? I dunno what version comes with CM7 but the call quality is pretty crap, although I think thats just the area I live in.
My current radio version is 5.11.05.27.
EDIT: Heres the full info from baseband:
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Flashed RIL_2.2.1003G with 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23.
I'm on 80% battery after 15 hours light use.
Got the fastest Speedtest result I've ever had. Seems to be functioning well.
instaled on lee 3.06 rc2 without any problem...
reception and GPS seem to be ok
Hi, is it necessary to flash the RIL too?

A silly question, if i were to flash the radio only, i don't have to do a full-wipe right?

Confused by Radio

I originally had LeeDriod ROM on my Desire which worked well, and WiFi was always showing 3 bars (full) when at home. Now I've tried Oxygen and Gingervillian, which I like but only get 1 or 2 bars on WiFi at best (Oxygen seems to be the worst though I like the ROM.
I'm currently on MIUI ROM but only get 2 bars max. Does this mean that I should change my Radio? I'm confused by radios and wouldn't know what to change to if this is what I need to do.
My current radio is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Any suggestions please?
Try to update to the latest and see.
Radio
RIL
I'm running the latest radio with HTC-RIL 2.2.1003G and got very good connections (gingervillain)
:/ What's the difference between Radio and RIL?
(Thanks for the reply btw)
EDIT: Found the answer to this now

Bad network in Blackout Incredible 3.1.0

After flashing Blackout 3.1.0 i had none or very bad connection to the mobile network. I tried a lot of different ideas but it didn't worked. Mobile Network on Blackout 3.0.0 and ARHD 6.3.2 just worked fine on the same place.
Then i decided to update my radio from 26.03.02.26 to 26.17.14.11 (newest one jet).
I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9891581&postcount=2
Now it acutally works. Maybe this helps anyone
But the RIL in the post above seems to be incompatible. I didn't found an compatible one for 26.17.14.11. Do i need one? Or is it integrated in Blackout 3.1.0? Network seems to be a bit slower ^^
It most likely has nothing to do with the radio. Anyhow, you don't need RIL. Just use the one with the ROM.
ah ok
but i only changed radio to make it work
If you want Android 4 on your phone , use JellyTime , It's a 4.1.1 (JellyBean) and it's very smooth .... The best Rom up to now
Yes the best rom without sense
