In my experience, it may take 3-10 minutes before the GPS acquires the first satelite, after having flashed to a new ROM.

Use visual GPS software
Hi dude,
Take a look here,
www.visualgps.net/VisualGPS
download the soft and test your GPS on your mobile, let it configure automatically.
Then lunch your GPS software, like tomtom or else, if needed, try to downgrade your radio to 1.46.30.11.
If needed try all radio till u get the gps fix with visualGps.
Make me know if works dude.
thanks i will try it and give some result tommorow
I think you just need to try it at a different location. Sometimes the response of the phone is dependent on the location.
For example, I work on one of the top floors of one of the tallest buildings in the part of town where I work, and have a clear view to the sky in all directions (absolutely no obstructions). Yet, I can leave my phone in the window for over an hour and never get a satellite fix. I can even open the window and stick the phone out the window and still get no fix. However, as soon as I leave work, and get to a different location (even with buildings towering over me) I get a fix. On the flip side, at home, I sit down away from the window, the window has thick curtains, and there is another house right outside my window creating an obstruction and yet I have no problem getting a fix.
My suggestion...go to another location when possible, soft reset the phone, and restart the application that uses gps. If you are driving, even better (it's more likely that you will reach an area where the position of your phone with regard to the satellite is good and you will get a fix).
This has worked for me irrespective of the radio rom (and I have flashed 1.38, 1.41, 1.46, and 1.50 radio versions to my phone and have always gotten a satellite fix).
Thanks for your help guys...
but still no luck...i'd tried all day long but still no satelite seeing on my trinity.
so anyone can give me link for radio??i only have 1.41...,146....and 1.50....

i think your problem is your radio version try the radio version that i mention yesterday
yeah, it should be radio related, or your GPS chip is having a random hardware error unrelated to your ROM flashing. its pretty unlikely that the problem was the ROM (although i guess anything is possible..)
Recently, my GPS will work, and then i'll turn it off.. when i want to turn it back on it sometimes can't locate the GPS on any com port... most times i need to soft reset to get it working again.. not sure what that's about.
if you saw one satellite for 30 seconds, then there's hope for you make sure you're outside with clear view of the sky.. and definitely try a different radio ROM.. beyond that, i'm not sure if there's anything you can do

Hallo (Bepe)
I have a HTC Touch Diamond and my rom was RUU_Diamond_HTC_GER_1.37.407.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship
and my GPS functionality was perfect. with TomTom 7
Now i have Diamond_bElite_Premium_0.95_0407 rom, and Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.05 because was recommended. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
Now my GPS not works, why??
I have Check with HTC GPS Tool and GNS Test, no GPS signal.
QuickGPS update 6 Days an 23 h
I think the problem is the Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.05 why not works with the internal GPS. It's very strange.
Anybody have the same problems ???
Do you think you can resolve this problem ???
Have you tried another radio with the same ROM?
Did you use VOIP? It has a tendency to break GPS (hard boot fixes the issue)
I have a custom built ROM based on 20273 (with 15965 elements) with radio .11
GPS works fine. It DOES take some time to get a fix the first time, but afterwards, it swooshes.
^.^
IF another radio doesn't work, check if the issue persists with another ROM but with radio .05.
have you tryed a hard reset?
I have this radio version and the gps work fine
I have this radio version and the gps doesn't work fine! since I've flashed my diamond... a lot of problem for gps. No voip soft installed.
Problem on 0.95 and 0.96 bepe version.
i have this radio on the hk 193 rom and the gps works flawlessly,takes30 seconds to lock sats from cold boot.
Always hard reset after flashing a new rom. It fixes many problems. This advice is given by Duttythroy.

I'am using this radio ROM with 1.37.406.1FRE.
GPS works fine ! At least, 1.00.25.05 is a very good Radio ROM.
I don't think GPS has anything to do with the Radio since it is not a transmitting device. It's another problem. Have you checked windows manages GPS port?

....
When the HTC trinity was release in Europe it had a Radio ROM of 1.23.** with this ROM the GPS did not function. With the release of Radio ROM 1.38.** the device now had GPS capability. Do you still think the RADIO ROM has nothing to do with GPS?
I've had the same issues after upgrading the Radio ROM... The two are DEFINITELY connected as in the Radio ROM has something in it that affects GPS.
Anyway, as stated in other threads and here (ALWAYS hard reset after upgrading the Radio ROM, even though you dont have to, its best that you do.
Then run GPSTool, choose COM4, baud 4800, press 'Open' then once you see data in the bottom half of the screen (thats your GPS talking!) choose 'Cold Start' from the drop down box and then press 'Nav Init'.
Now leave it like this for a few minutes (outside!) and then press the satellites tab at the bottom, as long as you can at least see some red dots (satellites) on the globe (earth) then your GPS IS WORKING. Dont worry if it says Mode 2: No fix available - as I dont know about the rest of you but Ive never seen this tool get a 'fix'.
Now once you've let it do that for a while and verified some red dots on the satellites screen then you should be able to close the tool, and start TomTom and just be a little patient maybe and then you will start seeing some activity.
A little note: Be somewhere with at LEAST 60% sky view when you're doing this as you've reset all the nav data and the initial process of locking on satellites from 'cold' can take a while, but once you've locked on eventually the next time it should be a little quicker. As usual YMMV but at least this has worked for me and I've had no end of trouble with the GPS after doing Radio ROM updates.
Good luck.
I have a Verizon Vogue and cannot get the GPS to work. it had the standard ROM on it out of the store then i upgraded it with the official WM6.1 ROM but i let the customizations run. a few weeks later i found a ROM from NFSFAN that i liked so i re-flashed my Vogue with the newer Alltel rom (to get the newer radio) but i didnt let the customizations run that time. i then used the unlocker 2.31 from coke (again not letting customizations run.) i then flashed NFSFAN's ROM. i cannot get the GPS to work. when i run GPSViewer it scans my ports and says it finds a GPS on com 4 at 4800 baud. it seems to successfully open the GPS but it never gets a satellite, i stood outside for 10-15min. i tried it with Google Maps and its never connects. i told Google maps to use windows settings for the GPS, also i tried to tell Google Maps to use Com 4 at 4800 baud and eventually it says no GPS found. i even followed a guide telling me how to use QPST to modify the GPS settings including the ip to the GPS server. any help would be greatly apreciated. i would really like to use Google Navigator from PDAfun.

yeah, you and alot of other people, some are reporting that VZW has locked down the aGPS/GPS access and found all the hacks and other custom settings and blocked it so it would seem that they are enforcing the $10/moth GPS plan as some are stating that they signed up and got the GPS back
Others of course are saying that switching the port in the registry from 8888 to 8889 works for a while then you have to change it back to get it to work again as well...
Im not on VZW so I couldnt be positive about any of it, just from what Im reading from users on VZW reporting stuff

hey thanks man, i will give that a try. but first i just want to make sure that downgrading the radio will even work and/or wont brick my phone. this is assuming those verizon ROMs do include the radio. also, do i just start step 1 from where i am now with the newer radio and custom ROM currently flashed?

The whole problem is that you let the customizations run in the first place. You need to flash a pre non-GPS ROM & radio. I would not have upgraded to the Alltel Radio as I don't believe that there is really any benefit. This is unless you know people in your geographic region have had success upgrading their radio.
Yes Start with Step #1
When you get to step #4 like it says don't let the customizations run. At this point your GPS should be functioning. You'll need to download the Holux GPS Viewer or the HTC one. Make sure that your phone location setting is turned on & not set for 911. setting--->phone--->services tab---> location setting ---> get settings button with one of these Gps viewers you should be able to get a lock it may take awhile. As long as you start to see red satellite dots you are probably good to go. This means that he GPS is functioning.
You can probably skip the last step if all else goes well.
Good Luck!
wiki works but
when I went through it at the first step. the phone kept on rebooting right after alignment. freaked out a lil bit. But it did stabilize. just keep the sd card out of the phone.

Once you have your phone unlocked with 2.31 you want to leave it unlocked because otherwise there is a good chance your GPS will not work.
ok i finnaly got my phones gps to work this is what i did reset the pri with the stock rom with the 1.30 radio then updated the radio from bell. No gps hacks were need i get a lock with 7 sat. in about 10 sec. o yea im using my own custom rom.
Tried it all, guess we are going to have to settle
I too have a VZW xv6900 that used to have an awesome GPS, that is now not so awesome. I have tried all the suggestions - from using the telus agps server, switching the ports, using the qpst fix for both vzw and telus, valhalla, removing the memory card, standing on one foot and yelling at it and what it seems to boil down to is no aGPS for vzw users.
Sure you can make the gps work standalone with no aGPS by changing the SUPL gps mode regkey to 2 instead of 4, but it's slower to get fix, doesn't work in buildings very well, and overall crappy compared to what we used to have - which I think is what most people have done (either intentionally or unintentionally) when they say they got it to work.
If anyone has figured out a way to get aGPS working on VZW I would love to hear it... I really miss those instant locks
I did not have to run QPST at all. I made the mistake of running the updated VZW rom which locks gps. Followed steps from the WIKI and flashed NFSFANs newest ROM turned my phone location setting on and I'm picking up satellites quickly.

well after searching around for hours trying to figure how I can get my gps enabled the simplest way for google maps, I still don't understand what I need to do. here's my rom version, release date, and my radio number:
3.14.605.1 rom
10/3/08 rom date
3.37.78 radio
I got the update from the verizon support page. I've downloaded gpsserver and I also have gps test, and gpsviewer. when I upgraded the rom, I didn't stop the customization step. I have an 8gb sdhc card in as well. I don't really want a highly custom rom but if I do need to update it, what's the best one to get? I have an unlimited data plan so I'm not worried about the gps being agps or just gps. whatever will work the fastest. will I have to reauthenticate my phone? if I need to download anything else please give me a working link.

No need to upgrade your radio. Some users are using a Bell radio 3.42.xx but I wouldn't bother with it.
What is really screwing you up is letting the customizations run. Even if you were to do a hard reset you will still be screwed. Letting the customizations run basically make the GPS useless unless you use the VZ Navigator. The customizations changes config settings deep into the ROM that a hard reset may do nothing but it is worth a shot.
The GPS on my phone worked on my Vogue without any fixes by not letting the customizations run. However it was not perfect but I was able to get a lock.
The threads below may be of some help to you.

If all else fails then you may have to resort to flashing a pre-GPS rom & radio then flash back making sure that you do not let the customizations run.
Note: This will void any warranty that you might have.

well I figured out a way that works but it's beyond me why it does. I did the vw update with radio v. 3.37.78 from their site and let the customizations run. did the soft reset, then installed valhalla gps server, another soft reset, then installed serf agps telus and one more soft reset. I then ran gps viewer and found that satellites were starting to lock. opened google maps 3.0, enabled gps and with a minute, I had my position locked and tracking with anywhere from 4 to 8 satellites tracking. so everything is good to go I guess. one thing I noticed though, when I use gps viewer, I am acquired by the gps but my position is anything but being in one spot. the coordinates jump around to any possible combination. the speed seems relatively accurate but updates slowly it seems. I also downloaded a free program called gpscyclecomputer to see if I could get some better live numbers for movement and position but they're just ar crazy as the gps viewer. any

Glad you got it working. People have had success with the valhalla gps server for quite a while. Then Verizon did something to shut it down. Now I guess one of the fixes is this serf agps fix. This route will work fine if you have a data plan which I don't.
I would worry so much about the lat & long numbers jumping around. I see this with Tomtom too. The important thing is that you are now getting a lock.
GPS Server
Thank you for this wonderful app! When I first installed it, all was well used the "location" function in Google Maps - perfect! But then it quit working, for no apparent reason. I performed a "hard" reset on the device, and re-ran the GPSServer cab, and I still cannot get it to work on either of my devices. Did Verizon distribute a "poison pill" to disable the GPS again? Please help.
No Luck, Still Need Help
I'll give a brief description then maybe some can help.
I have a Verizon XV6900<br>
ROM Version 3.14.605.1<br>
Radio Version 3.37.78<br>
Official Verizon WM 6.1 Update.<br>
<br>
I have followed the Verizon MR1 GPS Instructions installing the Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab and the skywing GPSServer and still Google Maps or TomTom will not work. After I did the Valhalla Legends GPSServer I did get it to work one time but has not worked since and I made no changes, it just never worked again.
Any suggestions? I would like to not have to flash or lose anything on my phone or go to a custom rom.
Thanks

Ok assuming because your using a stock verizon rom you let verizon's customization run as well. Which is possibly why you have this issue. Don't let any customization unless its a Custom rom

[1] Unlock with 0.40.coke
[2] Flash Sprint ROM RUU_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_1.12.651.1_2.13.00_SPC_NV133_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
[3] Unlock with 2.31.coke
[4] Flash Verizon ROM RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
[5] Flash any custom rom (Recommend NFSFAN's 1.15)

I don't believe all the steps above are completely necessary
*Install Coke 2.31 Unlocker
*Flash a stock rom without gps (I used an old sprint rom like above)
*Reset with pin just before customization
*Flash Verizon's newest Stock rom like above (I have used and confirmed works great)
*Reset with pin just before customization
*Flash a NSFAN rom of your choosing 6.1 or 6.5
*Let Customizations Run!
*Install A GPS app of your liking (I use tomtom, nsfan always includes GPS viewer)
Side notes
As each rom is installed if you accidentally let it startup fully dont worry its ok, Its just very important not to run Customization for the stock roms.
If you need to use active sync during these steps make sure you
*Remove from Airplane Mode
*Un-check option under USB to PC (fast syncing)
Is this the defiitive answer to this? I have radio 3.37.78 and I thought attempting to downgrade the radio was a very bad idea.
Got it fixed see post below for what worked for me.
Okay I got aGPS working on stock Verizon 3.14 Rom with 3.37.78 Radio. Didnt have to use QPST or anything! What I did was installed Vahalla Fix. Then Telus Fix for Vahalla then out of sheer chance I then installed the cab below. Did a *22899 phone rebooted, loaded up google maps and got lock within 5 sec inside my apartment, nowheres near windows. By the way I live in florida so my apartment has about 10 inches concrete walls. I dont know where I got this cab from but seems to have done it for me. Im going to try to NFSFAN's v9 rom and see If I have the same luck.

Just do a quick search on the forums. I used the VahallaGPS Server from the wiki then used Telus for Vahalla cab then used the cab posted on my last post.

So Install the vhalla fix, then telus fix and the GC Verizon aGPS.cab and dial *22899. when it reboots, is it a soft reboot or hard reboot. I don't want to loose anything on the phone. Also Does the GPS Use any DATA, because my phone has a data block. I will like to have a gps with my phone, without using data.
Thanks
If you could post up the cabs when you get them it would be awesome. And also an update to tell us if you got GPS working again

Update: I've gotten it to search for GPS but has a weak signal and not been able to get some. I am going to try to get in a clear space to check if it does work or not.
I've also uploaded the files and here's a link for step by step instructions:

completly lost
I have been reading these post for hours and i am lost.
Can someone help. Hopefully I have not messed things up to bad. I tried to follow post 13. but when i open google maps it only says seeking gps satellite (0)
I am completly lost and really need help....i think in fact my brain is throbbing.
When i try to run the QuickGPS it tells me valid time : expired (not sure why
Windows 6.1 Pro
Rom is (3.14.605.1)
Rom date 10/03/08
radio 3.37.78
Please please please help.
You need to follow the wiki, to the letter.
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
I followed it exactly as instructed, and now (for past couple of months) have fully functional aGPS working on my Verizon XV6900. Note, you will be downgrading your radio to 3.37.77, but if you follow the process from beginning to end it will work.

I would flash NFSFAN's ROM then see if your GPS works. You shouldn't have do the aGPS fix.
This worked for me
Stock XV6900 MR1
Windows 6.1 Pro
After unsuccessful attempts at getting GPS working by using the Valhalla_GPS_Fix, Serf Telus aGPS, GC Verizon aGPS, editing the regestry and numerous *22899 programmings, I ended up doing the following and GPS starting working great:
- Downloaded and installed VZ Navigator (I did not run the program or subscribe to the VZ Navigator service)
As soon VZ Navigator was installed (as stated, I have not run the program or subscribed to the VZ Navigator service) the XV6900 was able to quickly lock onto satellites using the GPSTest program. Google Maps is now using GPS perfectly - which was my goal.
I found that using the HTC QuickGPS program to download the most current satellite location data before starting the GPS seems to most always help.
Hope this can help someone else loose a little less sleep...

Could someone answer the thing in bold. I would really like to know this. I don't have a data package and would not want a huge bill coming at the end of the month saying that I've been using the data. I know s.lanso got his to work even though he has a DATA block but could someone else confirm?
The answer is it depends on how your phone is configured. It your phone is configured as GPS mode 2 or 4, then the phone will try to use the data from the towers to get a quicker fix.
If it is configured as a mode 0, then it just uses the sats and no data connection is needed.
You will need PHM registry editor to check and possible change these settings.
I don't have the exact keys right ion front of me, but do a forum search on hklm and you should find it.

Hi boys, i'm in problems again... i think u can help, or maybe try, if u want, u know.
Well, i don't remeber when, but suddenly gps stop works for me, or if it works, very very very inexact, for example, precision about 1000m... or maps says "ur location is unaivable", i'd try sense 3.5 roms, sense 3.0 roms, cm7 roms, o2 roms, now i'm with miui and still have the problem.
My phone drops accidentaly a few times, and before that, i'd try aGPS fix... but i don't know what's the problem... well, anyone have idea?
thanks!!!
PS: now with MIUI, maps says "ur loc is unaivable" and every app that uses location loop at "getting loc"... doesn't work.

thanks Lazer, i think this gonna help someone
I have a similar problem, my GPS can't find any satelite. I'm using ICS 0.7 and tried with and without aGPS Fix. GPS Status doesn't do anything, it also doesn't find any satelite at all.

ohhh, and what do u think about this? anyone know about a fix or cause of this prob? i dont feel alone at all right nao... see ya
I had the same problem, GPS turns on but it can't find any satellites. I got it fixed under warranty. I think they changed the gps antenna cable, if I remember right. I was changing roms back and forth trying to figure out the cause, but it was a hardware problem.
You can try changing your radio version.

and do u unroot/unrecovery ur phone? ****, it seems like a real trouble
i think i'm gonna explode my phone and take new one from my comp, stock the phone again seems really really heavy
I just flashed the alpharev hboot downgrader, and then the stock 2.2 PB99IMG.zip found here from some sticky. All from recovery and that's it. I read that you should use the stock 2.3 image, so that you wouldn't lose your warranty, but my phone was unbranded, so I guess it didn't matter.
So I opened the phone today and dis- and reconnected the GPS antenna cable (the cable on the left). Didn't do anything though.
I'm using 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

Install official HTC 2.3 update, it doesn't void your warranty.
