[Q] GPS issues since flashing ROM & radio

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.

Weired Signal disappearence.Helps pls

Woke up this morning and I had no signal but still receiving mobile data.
Phone was working fine last night,checked all the setting and everything is ok.
When I try search for network providers it comes up with a error and try again later.my phone has been rooted with ARHD 5.1.6 and radio: 26.09.04.11_M2
I was on ARHD 5.1.4 When this happened, I upgraded to 5.1.6 to see if it would solve the problem, but no luck.
I don't understand why I can receive mobile data and not make calls. Their is a cross above the signal bar.
Has anybody got a idea what could be wrong or what I could do to resolve the problem
Thanks

Did you do a full wipe before upgrading the ROM? If not then I would recommend reinstalling the ROM after a full wipe. After that I would say to reinstall the recommended radio via the recovery fastboot method.

I had thios problem a lot with AR 5.1.4. with a not recommended radio.
when I switched to the recommended one + AR 5.1.6. + full wipe i had no such occurances until now...

[Q] desire underclocks its self

i need some help. Every time i overclock the cpu to play some games i realize that it stays at the max. But after awhile of playing it will underclock its self to the lowest speed possible thus hanging my games or making it lag tremendously.
I tried it without playing games and it will automatically underclock its self also. i am using the daemon controller and the wake up is set at performance but it still drops to the lowest. I am on cool3D aceS ROM and the latest Radio if that is any help.
hope you guys can help. please and thanks.

Have you tried set cpu?

yup also the same problem. Now i am really starting to believe its my phone and i am worried

If you haven't tried flashign a radio recently, the thing to do would probably do a backup then a factory reset / wipe to rule out any /data issues.
It also could be network related so never rule that out. It could just be coincidental.

well i recently flashed the latest cool3D aceS mod and i did a full wipe does that count?

Sorry, I got confused there for a minute...
erm. Right re-adjust.
When was the last time it appeared to work properly? Have you got a nandroid backup of then?

actually i dont really know when is the last time it worked properly cause i am new to all this but could it be that i updated my Radio? cause before this i was using cynogenmod and i never had problems with games being laggy so i did not mess with the cpu speed. then when i wanted to change to insert coin they told me to flash the new Radio. so could it be flashing the radio caused the problem?

To be honest, when I mentioned radio, I thought I was replying to another thread...
Try a couple of nandroid restores from earlier backuops you took to test see where the problem seems to start.

i only have a backup of the older version of insert coin

What software do u use for overclocking? Maybe changing it would help... And also u could try to change governor and then if nothing works full wipe and reflash..

Maybe the new Rom is taking a big bite out of your ram. Try reverting back to cynogenmod with the same radio and see if you still have a lag.

i am using the daemon controller. i used to use the set CPU but after seeing that some of the ROM developers use the daemon controller i decided to keep that one as it came with the ROM i flashed. i did do a full wipe when i updated to cool3D aceS v2a from insert coin then to cool3D aceS v3. i reflashed it once again but i still have the same problem even after i did a full wipe from the recovery.

hmm i never tried that...really like the HTC sense tho i guess i will try that after i try the different governors in the daemon controller :\

well i tried flashing to another rom and still the same problem. but this time what i did was change the minumum wake speed and guess what only that speed changed to the lowest :s

[Q] Radio issue, flashing does not help

Hi xda community, this is my first post here, although im am following the forums for a while now. I have also read similar threads, and googled for about 3 hours now, and still couldnt fix the following issue:
I installed CM7.1.0.1 on the standard HTC Wildfire, and the GPS doesnt work. the radio version was 3.35.20.10, and I downgraded it to 3.35.19.25 but still nothing. problem is i cant get the signal, and there is no satellite icon on the status bar. like nothing is happening. I reverted the radio to 3.35.20.10 but still nothing. what do you recommend? are there any special methods to fix the issue? I did it by downgrading the recovery to 2.0.5 or something and then istalled the zip from the sd card.
edit1: downloaded GPS Test (i am not advertising, some1 might find it useful) and got the icon on the status bar. ill go and test it, and will update the post.
edit2: seems to work, found 7 satellites in 3 seconds with GPS Test. turned off wi-fi, started a popular navi app, locked signal after few seconds. maybe ill set it to solved?
Long story short:
Downgraded Radio
Upgraded Radio
Downloaded and started GPS Test, outside
Found satellites, icon is also there
started a navi app, locked signal

Same problem, still no solution though...
I had, still have the same issue. And I have already tried all that you have done in vain...
Any one else had that issue?
Thanks

Flash a sense based rom, turn on GPS, open Google maps and leave it to get a good fix. Without changing anything pop out the battery and then reboot to recovery and either restore a Cm7 backup or flash the rom again.

Thanks. Trying that now...will edit after.
EDIT: Can't find a proper Sense based ROM. Tried REMPuzzzle but phone stuck on HTC Screen. Downloading DK CustomROM now... If anyone knows whether there is a safe flash Stock ROM around, please do tell. The link in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275680 is dead.
FINAL EDIT
@saadislam and @LucidSomnia: I know, but when I said it takes time, I meant like over 2.5 hours, I think there might have been something wrong in the zip file.
Anyways thank you for all of you there in XDA Community for your support. I finally managed to sort it out by using Scratch0805's advice above and it works fine now.
**The only issue I got was to find a Sense-based ROM. Everything I tried either had an error, could not install, corrupted or took TOOOO LOOOONG to load. So here are the steps I have taken:
1. I used RUU to start over with a Stock ROM. [ available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275680&highlight=rom ]
2. Re-root [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035 and/or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365159&highlight=rooting+guide ]
3. Flash new Radio (20.10) since rooting goes back to 19.25 or 15.35.
4. Install and run GPS Test (on the Stock ROM)
5. Allow it to lock on couple of satellites.
6. Pop the battery out.
7. Boot into Recovery.
8. Use a Nandroid backup (or you could install a fresh one)
9. Enjoy GPS Working again!!!
Thank you again XDA Community!

Are you sure the radio was reflashed... I am saying this because when I tried to flash radio via recovery, it completed and I reboot.. but Gps wasn't fixed.. I rechecked the radio version but it was the older one so basically radio wasn't flashed...
So I went on to flash via flashboot.. this time all process was completed and Gps worked fine afterwards...
Radio version 20.10 is the one which has always worked for me...
And one thing more.. Rempuzzle Rom takes time to load first time...

That happens to all roms because dalvik cache has to be rebuild.

Is this a battery problem? Phone Restarting

Hi,
I have just started having problems with my HD Desire which is running Mikes Revolution HD 7.0.4 ROM. It seems that everytime I get out of range of my wireless connection, the phone will shutdown in a very short time and then is impossible to restart. It will get to the splash screen and then shutdown again. I can however restart the phone in recovery and the battery will show that it has a good charge. The phone will also shutdown at various times even when my wireless network is available, but not as quickly or as frequently. I know that it isn't the ROM as I tried a different ROM (after a complete wipe) and the problem persisted. I was wondering if these problems might be down to the battery finally giving up and not being able to provuide enough current to keep the phone on and that searching for a network is putting too much strain on the battery. I don't know if this is a common problem, but any advice will be very welcome. I am using the recommended radio for the ROM and the phone has been working properly and well for nearly a year since it was hacked. Phone does work fine when it is plugged in.
Many thanks
Ian

Did you do a Super Wipe ..?
you can find it here http://goo.gl/hWSCt
What is your radio version is it 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M radio ..?
you can download it from here http://goo.gl/vdP8g
I think it is flashing issue.. and I recommend Android Revolution HD 6.3.3 for you because it is very stable ROM :good:

Before flashing a radio, exhaust all other options (that is if you don't have any experience flashing them). It isn't something to take lightly.

I don't think it is a ROM problem as I did use Superwipe and I had the exact same problem with two entirely different ROMs. Android Revolution 7.0.4 and IceColdSandwich 8.1.1. I have been running 7.0.4 since it was first released by Mike. Also the phone acts normally when plugged in (sorry forgot to mention that in first post).
My Radio is: 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M

Go back to your stock ROM and see if the issues persist. If it still does, then it might be a hardware issue...if not, find a custom ROM that does not do it..

Dont use the superwipe script. Do a manual wipe. Wipe everything.
Take out the sd card, use a different one or backup your sd card, wipe it, DO NOT PUT THE FILES BACK IN, just a new rom to try to see if problem persists.
If it does, possibly it's a hardware issue.
Try all the different combinations, could be either a bad file in the sd card or a bad sd card and so on or what was mentioned before.
