Hi everyone,
I have an unusual gps issue.
Yes, I am having trouble getting a lock with my GPS but only outside of google maps. I can get a lock within google maps (down to 20m) but it appears to be offset to the west about 20m...
When I try to use navigation I get a blue dot of my location. The arrow in the status bar remains grey and the gps indicator flashes. When I use gps test or gps status the gps indicator in the status bar flashes but I get 0 satelites.
I have modified my gps.conf and cleared and re-downloaded the A-gps data, I have reinstalled locations information and google maps. I have reset the phone and done a battery pull. I have tested with "Integrate Google Navigation" turned both on and off.
I am running Revolution HD 6.3.2
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for your input kualmente.
My device is rooted, with busy box and faster fix installed. I had already set faster fix to oceania which has done nothing to give me gps outside of google maps. I also used moified gps.config files and then modified my own to give me au servers.
So as I said, I am getting satelite fixes, just ONLY within google maps.

I switched back to an older version which also did not work.
I tried a bunch of different settings and did get it working then today I keep getting a device.exe error and the GPS does not work at all.
Yes I have:
My Location set (not 911 online).
Windows is managing my GPS
Google Maps does not work
Bing Map does not work
IN Advanced Config I have Enabled and Disabled Assisted GPS
I am on verizon.
I searched and came up short on answers. Has anyone had this issue? Is there a fix? What Else can I look for?
TIA,
Dan

On my TP2 the settings are COM4 and 38400 baud. Try those - set it from inside the program - each application typically has a "Manual" setting for the GPS.
use the new bing maps...it's far superior...
Try using Visual GPSce to see if your GPS is working properly.
http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/default.htm
After installing, go to "Connect" and change the settings to COM4 and 4800 baud.
This is a simple program that shows whether you are picking up the GPS satellites or not, and will often work when other programs (like Google Maps) time out. If you are outside, you should start picking up the satellites within seconds. The bars will start to fill up (meaning the signal from the satellites is being received), and the indicator at the bottom right will turn green when you have a good enough lock for an accurate location.

I disagree, in my opinion the traffic provided by Google is much better. It also includes incidents and construction, and is easier to see at a glance how much congestion is visible.
Bing is prettier, but not more efficient. In my opinion, of course.

Its listed as 4800 baud for the Rhodium countless times on these forums, and elsewhere.
I also don't think it matter that much. On the newest Energy ROMs, the HTC GPS tool is defaulted to 57600 for some reason, and the tool started picking up satellites just fine.
Thanks Guys! I went back to an older google maps and reset all of the settings and finally did get it working.
I have turned on the location aware setting from the 'Settings' menu in my Samsung Focus, but still all apps including Bing Maps and Search
have difficulty in finding my current location(the latitude and longitude).
It used to work fine few days back.
I have tried resetting the phone to factory default, but still nothing happens.
How do I find if this is a hardware issue ?
How do I test if the GPS in the phone is working ?
TIA

same...worked the first time i installed wp7. now its not working anymore.
I have the same problem. When I am outdoors, I get GPS location fix in a few seconds, but when I am indoors Bing maps (even other apps) can't get my location at all. I believe indoors location should be found using cell tower positioning at least.

I tried outdoors too..no use
I'm on ATT and having issues with the One X finding my location. The weather app can't find it and on the browser if I go to google.com, the location is unknown. I have the location services set to on, the Google Maps will find me, but if I use the Navigation it doesn't work.
I haven't tried a full factory reset yet, and I did download a GPS app to reset the AGPS, but it doesn't seem to have worked.
Anyone else on ATT getting this issue?
I'm very curious about the GPS on One X, anyone has any information on this?
I know my GPS on Desire HD (maybe just mine), is pretty crappy...
I don't think AGPS is working on my One X, when I'm in the house I can't get Google Nav to work, Maps is fine. But I just tested Nav outside, hit the search and said "Navigate to Starbucks" and it was fine.
On the browser when I load up Google.com, the location on the bottom says "Unknown", I have location services turned on, so I don't know whats causing this. The stock weather app also says Unknown, but Fancy Widgets app shows my location, so some HTC thing maybe.
I have used my HOX with no issues on GPS or locations on AT&T. I have used Navigation for over 2 hours already.
Noodles,
Launch the browser and go to google.com
Scroll to the bottom and does it show your location or does it say Unknown?
Thanks

I recently installed CyanogenMod 11 FXP339 with the GApps mini package on an Xperia M2 dual C2005 and have noticed that I can't get a GPS fix in Google Maps but do get a fix within a few seconds in Navigator and GPS test. If I switch between Maps and GPS test I notice that GPS status is always "no fix" when returning to GPS test, but is set to "3D fix" in a few seconds. If I switch between GPS test and AndroiTS GPS Test there's seems to be a fix from the start.
The location setting is on and set to "High precision" (GPS, WiFi and mobile).
If I set location to "unit only" (GPS only) I get no positioning at all in Maps, but Navigation and the test apps still position.
I've seen this GPS fix thread but it seems to be for general GPS problems, while in my case it's only one app (Google Maps) that has this problem.
Has anyone else seen this and what can be done about it? I don't remember having this problem on the stock ROM.
Anyone having gps problems? When Google maps does eventually lock on a position is seems to be miles away from where I am, it takes Google maps a good 5 minutes to actually figure out a route.
Currently on China rom 10.4.11
Works fine here. Did you give all permissions in app settings. Settings>Apps>permissions >accept all
I'm also having the same problem at the moment. But in my case gmaps doesn't even detect my position at all. Also on china rom 10.4.11.
I've enabled all permissions, change gmaps to no restrictions on battery setting, still doesn't work.
Funny thing is, waze detect my location just fine.
Any suggestions to fix this issue?
What do GPS Status apps show that you can download from Play Store (you only need free, ad-less apps). You could compare the GPS signal of this phone to other phones you have around.
I´m using a REDMI NOTE 8 PRO for 4 weeks. I´m having trouble navigation with the GPS. I tested it with Gmaps and Waze. In both, there are changes in the route without any change in the route traveled. I´ve already checked all the settings (Battery saver, precision location on Gmaps...) without sucess. Aparently the accuracy is low.
What worked for me was uninstalling maps updates, clearing maps cache. Than install gps status from Google play and from the drop down menu select manage agps and reset it . Hope it helps.
