[Q] GPS making my cell phone restart??? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone please help me? My gps works but after 5 - 10 minutes my cell phone just restarts. I tried many different roms even CM7 but i dont get it why it restarts only when I use gps. No apps or anything big is running in the background. Any help will be helpful thanks in advance.

I've had the same issue, mostly when using MIUI, I've installed the new GPS driver (found in the CM7 thread) and haven't had problems since.

GPS is buggy in those 2.3 GB ROMs.
However one of them has it working fully (Gingervillain or latest Redux, I think).
But if you use it a lot stick with 2.2 ROMs.
Try another Radio or Kernel
tried all suggested but no luck.
Which CM7 build are you using? I had this problem with CM7 RC1 and RC2 but after I switched to RC3, GPS started to work.
GPS could be faulty. Flash the stock RUU, test again, and take it back if it still doesn't work.
Had this a couple of times before. I used fast reboot from the market to stop and start apps and processes worked a treat for me.
Make sure you disable GPS before you run the app. Hope it helps.
The thing is, that the GPS works fine when i get a GPS lock/fix.
But it takes so long to connect e.g 1-5mins.
My ZTE Blade has an instant 3-10sec lock every time.

[Q] Leedroid 2.4 and gps disabling data

Whenever I attempt to use google maps, nav, or facebook check in my data connection gets knocked out. I tried updating my radio to 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 to see if it would help but no luck. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks. I tried searching and nothing came up.
I've noticed if I turn on my phone it works fine and it only happens after it's been on for a few hours. Definitely something wrong with the rom since cm7 works fine with it. I really like leedroid too, any idea's to troubleshoot would be appreciated

[Q] No Service and Slow GPS

Before I begin I'd just like to say I've done a whole heap of searching both here at XDA and on google in general and I haven't found any answers for my issue.
I'm using a S-OFF'd GSM Desire running CM7.0.3 with CM7 HBOOT (not r2) and the latest radio (5.17.05.23). After I set everything up (Rooting, S-OFF, etc) it all worked fine with no issues at all for about 3-4 months. Within the last month something has changed, now it often has no service when left inactive and I can only restore service by turning aeroplane mode on and off or by restarting. Also the GPS is incredibly slow I suspect inaccurate by about 30-60m (I still need to double check the GPS inaccuracy though).
Does anyone have any ideas as to why these issues would pop up after 3-4 months with no changes and does anyone have any ideas how to fix them?
Thanks.

[Q] Gingervillain 3.3, GPS and Runkeeper app

Hey,
does anybody have experience with this? My desire is running Gingervillain 3.3, I've read that some people have been having GPS problems (can't post in Development threads yet).
Anyway, my GPS is working fine, but when I'm using the runkeeper app, sometimes GPS stops to work, seemingly at random. Sometime a reset of the app is enough, sometimes I have to reboot the phone in order to getg it to work again.
Anyone know whether this is a Gingervillain or a Runkeeper app issue? Will I have the same problems if I download an alternative app like RunStar to upload my data to runkeeper?
Thanks in advance,
Saxelfur
I have had a few bugs with GPS on GV 3.3, nothing to major tho. like the GPS icon doesn't disappear, or it randomly reboots if I use My Tracks with screen off and smartass governor... and sometimes despite setting my gps to Europe using fix faster instead of a <10 sec fix it can take nearly 5 mins to get down to <100mtrs (in the same location I might add)
In relation to your problem I have had that... but I found simply task killing any app accessing your location, usually the Browser or Maps, it'll work; or in my case the Facebook app seems to keep trying to get a location (and launching on its own) when I actually have all sync n notifications disabled..
anyways maybe you want to try the app fix faster, it did seem to make my gps more stable and faster, it does have a problem from time to time, but it works, and for the most part works fast and stable (normal GPS fix for google navigation - 3 secs).
So yea probably a ROM problem...
and o yea - you wouldn't want to post this question in the development section - unless you put it on the GV thread... This is the right place for questions.
Hey,
I just wanted to give you some feedback: ever since I've been using FasterFix, I've not had any GPS troubles at all. Just have to remember to activate it before using gps.
Thanks again!

[Q] Sygic Navigation on stock 5.0.2

Hi there!
This is a question especially to all Sygic users. Since ive got my m8 (which happened just a few days ago), i updated it to 5.0.2. The device is rooted and im using xposed framework.
Do you have problems with Sygic on your device? Mine is crashing all the time, sometimes i cant even download a map or start the app. Ive tried 15.0.9, 15.1.14 and 15.1.15, every version has the same problem. Im in contact with their support, but nothing helpful until now.
Ive read something about Sense 6 related crashes in a few threads, but some say it has already been fix...but not for me at least...
Thanks!
Hi, I got the same problems with Sygic and my HTC M8s,- but I have an additional problem, my GPS is usually frozen after 30 up to 60 minutes! Is there anybody, who has the same problems?
