Can't get GPS working with SlimBean ROM - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

as the topic says I can't get GPS working with SlimBean ROM. it's JB 4.1.2 based on Jellytime R30. I have the GPS setting turned on but nothing happens when I try the "local" app.
Any suggestions please?
cheers

Did you full wipe before flashing? Does GPS work on another ROM? If so, it's probably a ROM-specific issue.

Yes I did a full wipe and yes GPS works fine on other ROMs I have tried. Hopefully someone who uses this ROM might be able to help.

You might want to post in the ROM's thread.

thanks I already have. Seems others with this ROM have the same problem but it just works for some. Weird

Are you sure you waited long enough to get a fix? Not 100% sure, but I thought after a full wipe all A-GPS data is gone. Not a single sattelite with GPS Test?

work fine for me!

are you using SlimBean?
Did you do anything special to get it to work eg settings?
Are you using internal or external antenna?
What apps do you have it working with?

OUCH! WHAT are you going to do? flash another rom maybe?
well thats 2 roms that didnt work, maybe try another and if that doesnt work then revert to the stock htc probably
Hi jmealiff92
You have to be patient enough to allow the ROM, Kernel and the GPS signal to adjust itself. Today may not work, but tomorrow can. (i'm not sure why, its weird). Lol. Im currently using LeeDrOid v2.2.3 and it works great. =)
Could be a hardware fault.

GPS broken after trying Radio Update

A while ago I rooted my DesireHD and installed a custom rom.
After that my GPS didn't work anymore..
I tried a new custom Rom and tried updating 'Radio' with another Rom / Update.
Now, all my apps crash that use GPS, which is kind of a problem, since I use Google Maps & Navigator a lot..
Can anyone please tell me what a good DHD Rom / Radio is these days I should use, and how I can install these properly?
Thanks!

I know how to search this forum, thanks anyway... Problem is, there are threads with 20+ radio updates.. How would I know which one is best, and what is the proper order to install, the radio first, or android first..

[Q] Wifi tethering with CM10.1 (TeamCanjica)

Hello, I switch from stock rom to CM10.1 latest nightly (081013) and it seems I can't have wifi tether working.
It activate ok and I set a more than 8 letters password.
My laptop or tablet manage to connect to the phone but they have no internet connection. I checked the phone still have an internet connection of course.
Any idea what i can try? already try wiping cache and dalvik but it changes nothing.
that's a pity because CM10.1 is quite faster smoother and battery saving than stock. I'm very happy with it but i need wifi tether )
thanks in advance for help.
Try latest build. From 13th.

thanks!
will tell how it work (one way or another)
Still the same problem with 13/10 buid ;(
My kernel is XXMF1, can it be the problem?

What do you mean? You flashed an MF1 kernel over the rom or the rom over that kernel?

I have no idea, but flashing stock rom sometimes helps.
I just installed XXMH1. Tested wifi tethering and it was working perfectly.
Installed back CM10.1 (today's build) and still the same problem. can connect but no internet ;_;
can it be a wifi channel problem? is there a way to change it like in stock rom?
Tethering is working perfectly for me... It is problem at your end...
Sent from my GT-I8160
Wifi tethering works fine for me on CM 10.1 as well. Something that I did not noticed before is that on my Windows 7 64-bit client, I had to manully run the command ipconfig /release (to release the current IP assignment) and ipconfig /renew (to request new address from phone DHCP server)
These are to be run from Command Prompt with Administrative rights.

I also have Weather and news widget (std one) which is not actualising the location. Other widget are working.
there is something strange with my phone..
Can a new kernel change something or is it not related? which one would you advise me?
I am using rox's CM 10.1, 17/10 (and you?) build and its kernel, I don't use weather n news widgets, so I don't know if they're syncing or not. Did you solve your tethering prob?

Wi-Fi / Data working ROM

Hi,
I've tried several ROMS past few days and all of them had either the wi-fi or data not working.
Can someone please recomend a ROM that has these two working normally? I see no point of having a mobile without internet.
Please advise which one to try.
Thanks

You can try shpongle or CM10. Flash proper kernel and you're good to go.

I see you are totally noob and don't want to search, just wait for help from another. Search a bit won't make you get tired, will it?
Anyway, for Shpongle, you can use HELLBOY 4.2 version or Ironman. For ROM link, you can find it by yourself.

Well I'm sorry but that's not the case. I've read like 50 threads at least during the past few days and searched allover the place.
I've installed few ROM's but none of them was good ( wifi/date not working) I really installed Shpongle but either I'm booting the wrong image ( cause it stuck on boot) or I'm doing something totally wrong.
That is why I asked for some help and not that I'm lazy.

Have you set up your APN?
For overclocking, first go to Settings > About and tap build number 7 times then open Settings > Performance

[ROM][April13][KitKat][4.4.2] Beanstalk | Release 5 | bravo System wizard stop work

@Chromium I flashed the release 5. And i made how you say:
-flash the room
-boot
-flash gapp
-boot
After that Sistem wizard is stop working. What can i do please help @Chromium
Are you sure? I tested a few times and it worked fine. If you do a full wipe, flash the rom and boot it up is everything ok? (no gapps yet)

Ok, i was just talking to someone that was having the exact same problem as you and it turned out that he wasnt properly doing a full wipe.
You need to format everything other than the sd. In 4ext the option for this is in wipe > format all partitions (except sdcard)
Make sure you do this.

1. Users arent really having to go through much trouble. The only difference now is that you need to reboot in between flashing the rom and gapps.
2. By slightly breaking the setup wizard, I seem to have been able to fix the WiFi bug where it would get stuck turning on. I would rather have better working WiFi that I constantly use, than a perfectly working setup wizard which I only use once. Im sure the majority of other users feel the same.
you're right. I just said. Don't be mad on me :|

VPN Issues
Greetings, I have installed Beanstalk 4.4.2 on my 4 years old Desire just few days ago. So far so good, it is great, fast, it really revived my smartphone. But ...
What is the reason no form of VPN works on it? I have some prepaid solution and its app doesn't work. OpenVPN doesn't. PP2P/L2TP solutions don't work. Is it system bug which needs fix or am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks for answer.

Sorry to ruin it for you but camera will not be fixed with K3 release, if it will be released anytime which I highly doubt anymore. It is a matter of unreleased sources and libs by HTC, so the best we will get is what we already have, camera-wise. So long story short, if you want fully functional camera and video recording, GB is the only way or that chinese ICS released sometime ago.
Tapatalked
So if I want fully functional and fast HTC Desire I should go for Mild Wild or pure CM? What is the difference between cm based and redux based MW? Thanks.

I would recommend Mildwild MW rom based on redux2.

They're just slightly different ROM bases. Install both, see which one you prefer
It's the best way to find out, unlike recommendations without justifications as above..
Remember you can maximise space much better with either of those ROMs as they into smaller hboots
CM version will fit into cm7r2, redux should fit into oxygenR2, check the threads.
