GPS, No Sats - HTC Wildfire S

Hey guys,
my wife has a Wildfire S, S-OFF and Rooted, but it can not detect any GPS satellites, ever.
This is rather annoying as its something we got the device for, any one had the same or any idea on how to fix it? I tried faster Fix.

Are you using a custom or stock rom?

Stock ROM, its what came with it, It came S-OFF from HTC as well, I just rooted it, tonight to try FastFix

Ah, I wouldn't be able to test as I'm running a custom rom.

Thanks anyway, I guess I may just have to send it in for repair.

It could be your location, have you got anything other gps device or phone with it you could try?

Yeah, works fine on my desire

[Q] bringing rooted device to Verizon for service.

The lock button on my rooted incredible keeps getting stuck. Do you think a Verizon rep would notice that I'm rooted if I'm running sky raider 2.5.2 sense? Or do you think I should just unroot?

unroot just to be safe....but they probably wont kenw

The first thing techs are told to do is to check the water indicator. If that hasn't been tripped, then you probably will be fine, but if they do check your software version, they will see you have a non-official rom on there. If you want to be sure they will honor the warranty, you probably should return it to stock.
Thanks a lot for the advice!

If you're running Skyraider 2.5.2, you're probably S-OFF, in which case you can run a simple stock RUU and go back to complete 2.1 stock and be fine. As long as they don't check S-OFF (which they 99% probably don't know how to do), you'll be fine.

[Q] WIFI problem

Sounds like a hardware issue if it wasn't functioning properly on the official rom.
You could try flashing a new radio, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

I thought so it would be about hardware, but I wanted to try if by chance someone did have something like me
Try flashing a new radio?

Best Radio ROM?

Hi guys! I'm wondering which is the best Radio ROM for my DZ. Currently I have the GPS problem, and Cell Standby is sucking a lot of my battery juice. Any advice? Thanks!

Hey,
this is a question that has been debated over and over, to make it short though: There is no common consensus on the best radio. Usually the golden rule if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it should be applied.
As far as you're issues with gps and battery life go, with the given information it's really not possible to say, whether your phone's radio is actually at fault or if it's something else.
I'm currently using the radio that came with the official gingerbread ota for the desire z (12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M), it's been pretty good to me on all the roms I have tried since then.
Hmm ok.. I was hoping for some advise, maybe recommendations.. But thanks anyway

What do you want? Someone to hold your hand? Not trying to be a prick, but there is no easy answer. Just try flashing a new radio... maybe the latest release to start with. Using the PC10IMG method with the bootloader is very easy and actually pretty safe if you follow instructions. Try some out... if they don't work, you can always flash another one. Radios seem to be kind of random in how they work with peoples' phones.

Your best bet is to read peoples reviews in the radio thread and cross-reference their location/carrier with yours. There are many factorys (G2/DZ, location, carrier, etc.) that come into play so, a radio that I say is great may suck for you.

Thanks guys for the answer, i'll just try different ones then..

I don't think it's due to rooting.
It's due to roaming. So maybe ROM related (maybe radio/ROM incompatibity).
If I were you, I will try to the radio preconized for the ROM or another ROM.
Roaming is detected by software, not hardware.
I have the best radio for my rom......but maybe you're right.....but there is no chance that i can do this.....i'm not always in roaming......

I've actually had the same problem recently. Namely in the last two days. I see that you're running a Sense 3.5 ROM (as do I). Is it just an overclocked 3.5 or is there a specific 3.5?
Sorry for late reply I'm at mcdonalds using there WiFi, but yes sense 3.5 for cdma/marvelc, It is overclocked, I tried many roms but still nothing, I called virgin mobile daily to see what was going on and they said they will send me a new phone at no extra charge, they said that the part in my phone that connects to the 3g service probaly went bad in my phone, but I thought its a network issue rather then my phone, but at least I get a new phone

Hmm... okay. Personally, I found it to be Sense 3.5.
I think my issue was more Sense 3.5-related as when I decided to flash CM7 my data began working again, however I am having some SMS issues. If I can't fix it on CM7, I'll try Sense 2.1 or a VM stock. If it doesn't work then I'll contact VM and see what they say.

I had a problem with stock VM. I don't know what the problem is. I called VM and they reset my SMS so I'll see if that helps any...
BTW, this is my 100th post on XDA!

Awesome! I will. I get a 404 error and I can't find it on Goo.im anywhere, so I'll wait until it re-appears! Thanks for the suggestion!
