Defy CM7 RC1.5 GPS Problem

Hi There
I've been using CM7 RC1.5 for at least a week. Everything works smoothly, much better than the crappy stock ROM does, except for the GPS.
Whenever I try to locate myself with Google Maps by GPS, the GPS fails to locate. The GPS is fully functional with the stock ROM and I have no idea what the problem really is.

I haven't tried RC1.5 yet, but I was having the same problem with CM7 RC1. I tried everything and couldn't get the GPS to work. Finally I flashed a nightly build of CM7 (8/17) and it started working again. I would start there and see if you can't reverse engineer the problem.

Use this fix : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630
Flash it in custom recovery
Basically all it does is edit /etc/gps.conf to include time servers for your region from here http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/

Thanks
The issue has been fixed

a similar problem with the GPS was not fixed pravarth's link
i flashed CM 7.1.0 stable and the device just doesn't get my location using the GPS.
Apps like GPS Status and GPS Test plus give no results on GPS satellites found .
Any ideas ?
PS : it's defiantly a ROM problem. On Miui, GPS tracking was working. The only difference was that on MIUI, GPS apps will often reboot my phone.
Thanks.

GPS problem is fixed in my case after choosing my region from the Baseband Switcher.
Now i get some results in GPS status.
Orange Romania worked for me after choosing Central Europe, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Arabia, France, nordic 3.4.x, UK 4.5.1-85

My GPS problem is persisting.
I`m using CM7 RC 1.5, applied the patch for my country, changed the baseband still no luck.. .
If someone can help me, i`ll appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
Edit: I`v solved my problem using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18777808&postcount=1150

Internet not working?

Hi people. I have a very strange problem. I have Cyanogenmod 7.2.0.1 with radio 5.14.05.17, S-off.
I've experienced this before and that's the reason i wasn't using stock cm. Please try to help me. My internet is not working. It worked for 2 days with some minor problems but not, nothing. I've tried updating the RIL from HTC-RIL 2.2.0028HM to HTC-RIL 2.2.1003G and then to HTC-RIL 2.2.0098HM. It's working for a minute and then it's turned off completely. I don't even have 3g/H icon in the notification area. Since I use internet quite a lot, can you please help me?
I would gladly provide more info when it's requested.

Check your apn settings. Otherwise use the latest CM7 nightlies. There isn't much development on the rom that would make the nightlies version unstable anyway.

I did. It's ok. APN is ok. I've changed to the latest radio 5.17.05.23 with RIL 1003G and it worked for a day or two but after that, nothing. I've patched RIL 2.2.0098HM and it was ok for a few days but now nothing.

Re: JellyBean - JELLYTIME for DHD/Inspire4g - 4.2 R2 Available
ROM is good but very laggy compared to r32 and Google now speech does not work or crashes I have been using r2 for nearly a weak now. Did anybody try with kangbang 2.5 kernel ? Is it still laggy

R4 is out as well. While i am interested in putting it on my DHD, I am a noob. Any pointers on how to do this step by step (the guides are bit confusing on terminology)?
Thanks.

I'm with R4. With [email protected], interactive gov and SIO is really fast and smooth without lags. This ROM works great!

R4 runs on my Desire HD without any problem except GPS does not work. Already tried several things to fix it (reinstall ROM, full wipe, antenna exchange) unfortunately without any success. I hope this is just an issue with the ROM and not with my hardware...

GPS works for me on GoogleMaps, Navigon and Open GPS Tracker, but not for MyTracks. Maybe it's just the app you are using?

I've tried several apps incl. Google Maps, GPS Tracker, GPS Test, GPS Status,... all without any success. No reception at all.
When GPS is active, shouldn't there be an icon displayed in the top bar?

GPS Signals ... finally
I finally fixed my GPS issues!
The following description worked for me:
1. Download a stock ROM (DHD_WWE_3.12.405.1_STOCK_rooted_by_nitr00.zip)
2. Put the ROM in root folder of SD-card
3. Full Wipe (using 4EXT-Recovery)
4. Flash stock ROM via Recovery
5. If your bootloader is HTCdev unlocked don't forget to flash the stock ROM boot.img via fastboot
6. Reboot
7. Check with GPS Test (or similar) if you receive some satellites and if you get a fix
8. Reboot again to recovery
9. Flash JellyTime ROM
10. Flash G-APPS
11. once again-> don't forget to flash the JellyTime ROM boot.img via fastboot if your bootloader is HTCdev unlocked
12. Reboot
I get a GPS fix now in about 6 to 10 seconds. I am so glad!

Compass sensors and gps are different things. Try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest
I believe the gps chip is behind the flash module, give that a firm press to make sure it has not worked loose.

when I installed the 22.3.0 rom like pacman the gps use entirely normal, until I installed the new 2.3.0 rom viper encounter such problems gps
. I can not post in development areas viper rom so I post here to ask for help

The GPS is working, the problem is with compass.
I have same issue with Viper but it works with other roms (i.e Revolution, PacMan or stock RUU). Maps navigation works fine but I cannot use Street view (or Ingress) compass mode or download a Compass app from google play (no longer compatible with my device).
There are some posts about that but I didn't find the solution or a workaround:

I'm using ViperDHD v2.2.0, kernel 3.0.16-PachaRX-VS4-2.0XxXPachaXxX#9 and radio 12.69a.60.29_U_26.17.14.11_M.
Any idea?

I'm having the same problem. GPS does does not fix and have the same config. I only managed to get signal from two sattelites and one GLONASS. Using my phone (razr I) I got signal from 5/6 sattelites. Does anyone have any idea? I tried GPS Status and other apps... nothing worked. Factory reset will be my last attempt before trying things like custom rom (which I do not prefer to do now) or replacement.

I know this is very old thread but I have the same problem. With custom rom it works fine.
Even with faster gps and gps status it won't fix. Anyone found a solution?
