Tried switching radios. Tried the vision_wipe zip.
Any other (non drastic) options I should try? Sygic and Maps doesnt work.
A fix on here said to replace the vision_gps.so file in system/lib/hw. It works (got location instantly) but Sygic force closes. I have a feeling a uninstall reinstall might fix it

Yep I'd like to know as well. Most of the GPS problems have been fixed in recent builds.
Changing the vision_gps.so is a pretty old trick for older builds afaik.

do it manually (the second method) and be careful with what you type in terminal, make sure its exactly the same as the instructions or you'll brick your phone.
I used this first and then used the app GPS Status (free on market) after to make sure I got an accurate lock. Prior to doing this, the GPS symbol didn't even show up in the status bar, but now everything works fine.

Im using CM7 RTW. No nighlies or anything.
Reinstalled Sygic but it still force closes. Anyone`s GPS working on a Desire Z running CM7? That way you can upload the vision_gps.so file....

Can I get Google Navigation on my HTC Desire?
Yes you can! And it does not involve any hacking or rooting. All you need to do is install Brut's Google Maps MOD next to your existing Google Maps app and you're all set.
You might also find Nav Launcher useful with this MOD.

1. Download Astro file manager from the market;
2. Download this http://hotfile.com/dl/33962447/fdecdc3/maps4.1.0.4126-brut6.apk.html

This is voice guided turn by turn, presumably.
Unless you mean yours does this already?
i havent tried it but dont think its turn by turn. just tested the navigation bit.
Unless you're in the US, it's not turn by turn.
I have tried google navigation and it doesn't work. It always says destination not accessible.
go to the market download nav launcher then select the brut maps and install viola

Yeah, is the file available anywhere else please? I'm curious to try it.
Used it for the 1st time yesterday to get from Nottingham to Bedford and it worked great. The satellite map overlay is rather interesting to use and the traffic updates on the map its a great function.
I was using it through my bluetooth car kit and had the music playing on my desire so the voice directions didnt work but i loved it (The voice when it does work is crap though lol).
I dl Nav Launcher from the market place, when I ran it it asked if I wanted to use brut maps, i said yes and it dl it.
Followed the instructions in "treble4's" post and works a charm.
THANKS
Is there a GPS app that has downloadable maps so you can use the GPS without a data plan?
I tried IGOMYWAY but it doesn't work for some reason.
EDIT:
CoPilot V8 works wonderfully. Problem solved! I highly recommend Copilot. Gives a nice 3D view, has a tolerable fembot voice for directions, has POI's, and doesn't disconnect from GPS signals.
It'd make sense for there to be someway, but I have no idea if there is. HTC Sense advertises that you can do it with their software, however I never figured out how that exactly worked for the 2-3 weeks that I used a Sense-based ROM.
Sounds like you're talking about a navigation app. A GPS app can be just about anything, like GPS Status & Toolbox, geocaching, jogging loggers, etc.
Navigon and CoPilot are a couple. Some on here have said CoPilot is pretty good (although I haven't tried myself), and its reasonably priced at $5 for the USA maps.
Yes. I basically want a Garmin or a TomTom equivalent on my G2. Since Garmin and TomTom don't need a data plan to work, I don't see why there shouldn't be an app that does the same.
IGO Navigator works on my Bell Desire Z.
Back in the g1 days I used copilot. Its really good. I would recommend it
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
wasn't there a modification for maps made by someone where the map cache is saved onto the SD card?
i think it was brute or something like that
Alright. So I got CoPilot and it doesn't work. I have the maps and everything. It is just that the program can't detect satellites. That is the same problem I had for IGO navigator.
BUT from another post, a person (I think it was redpoint) told me to download GPS status, and if that program can detect satellites then your GPS should work.
Well, I did what he said, and it did indeed detect satellites, and even detected
Then how come IGO AND Copilot doesn't work for me?
I am actually prepared to go out and buy a Garmin 265T
yea
i'm gonna follow this thread cause i'm in the same boat. it's ridiculous that you could be out in a clear open area that just gets no cell service and yet you can't get gps service. do i really need to go buy a freaking gps when my phone should be able to handle it?
Polarbear:
Try Igo navigator and CoPilot. They work without data. They work for other people. They don't work for me though. They might work for you.
I began too many sentences with "they".

How long does it take all y'all to lock on to GPS signal using your various navigation apps?
I know you can save maps with Locus Free (in the market.) It gives you a choice of a bunch of maps. I'm not sure if you its exactly what you are looking for but its worth a shot.

The referenced Android Police article involves a change to build.prop to make the phone report itself as an HTC G2. Considering that the Epic and Nexus S are both Galaxy S variants on Sprint with 4G, I am curious as to whether it would be preferable to use:
ro.product.model=Nexus S 4G
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
just tried the Nexus S. get device not supported and app crashes on login.
edit: HTC Vision no longer gives me device not supported. but app still crashes on login.
also: swype refuses to swipe words with the build.prop change. can any one else confirm?
The very first release never crashed but since the first update it's never worked.
It might just be the rom though.

I had copied build.prop to the SD card, edited in a terminal emulator using vi, used some command line magic to copy it to the system folder, then rebooted the phone. After starting the Netflix app, it notified me that this phone was unsupported, then force closed after a login attempt.
Interesting they made the app for the evo over the epic at the very least released both at the same time collectively aren't there more galxy s devices over the evo...
first modify /system/build.prop
replace the like values with the below
Code:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
**** ro.build.fingerprint=sprint/htc_supersonic/supersonic/supersonic:2.2/FRF91/252548:user/release-keys
only add this line and comment ou the other if you dont already have the apk
then reboot the phone and go to market and install netflix.
do NOT load it.
once installed open up adb shell and as root
Code:
cd /data/data/com.netflix.mediaclient/lib/
cp libnetflix_device1.so libnetflix_device1.so.bak
cp libnetflix_device2.so libnetflix_devicex.so
cp libnetflix_device2.so libnetflix_device1.so
you will now be able to sign into netflix, view whats available and manage your queue.
but cant watch movies, in most of the ec05 and eb13's that we have it gives an issues with being unable to enumerate OMX device drm.play
if you install stock odin EC05(just the raw stock flash with nothing done) it will say that it throws an java exception and will just freeze lock
if you flash ED12 it works perfectly out of the box(but ed12 has issues)
Still working on it.
PS the above build.prop edit works for the nook colour and viewsonic Gtab and a host of other CM7 based devices as well.
All of the above is completely unnecessary if all you want to do is open the app and view your queue. It will do that without modification.
not on the epic it wont.
itll tell you first that its not in the market
then itll tell you its not for this phone
then itll just exit out to homescreen once you login.

Installed this earlier today. Seems to be working good so far. I like the Auto update option over wifi setting. It also seems to be more responsive than the 3.2 that I have been using.
Sweet, my biggest annoyance with the market was how I could only chose between auto-updating and possibly wasting my data plan (minor I know but I don't NEED the facebook update instantly) and having to manually do it. Love how MIUI has the option.

mine is working good to on MIUI I wonder how much earlier did we actually get this update from other people who will get it from their carriers?
After installing this, I started getting "popup" ads in my status bar. After uninstalling they went away.
Did I miss a setting or something? Lookout scan shows no threat, but I can only assume it was this market given the evidence...

This seems plausible to me...
4. If you running an N7100/7105 rom and have already flashed the nfc fix file or used the nfc files from it, then it is too late. If you recall using those files causes android to upgrade some 270+ files on first reboot. Once that occurs I believe that 4.1.1 apks and lib files makes fundamental changes to a bunch of other apps (like camera, gallery, and etc) which is causing the nfc force closes. You must start fresh again.

I just realized that when we edit the build. prop to get the wallet to work, we lose s-note functionality. Wouldn't it be easier to edit the file to mimic that of the galaxy s3?
