I just installed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458749 and my gps doesnt want to work anymore. when its turned on and google maps opened it doesnt even show the icon. i tried some other programs but gps wont work in them either.is there any way to fix this problem or i need to download another rom?and another question:is there any way to fix 2.3.7 android camcorder problem?
sorry for bad english!

This happens very often
You can try 3 things when this happens... like a month ago it happened to me S-FFing my Wildfire
Some people says that Flashing the last radio for the wildfire (3.35.20.10) solves the problem: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Wildfire:_Support_Downloads its very easy but you need 25 or more battery when u start the process because if it does not finish u can brick your phone.
You can also try with this patch for the GPS, also makes it faster http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447591 (x3 trunk Download the Google Specific) Just flash it
What it solved my GPS problem was to Install my original HTC Rom and activated my Gps, you should enter google maps and wait until finds you. leave the Gps enabled and restart your phone in recovery. Wipe everything (Data, cache) and install whatever Rom u want

I already have 3.35.20.10 radio and i already tried to flash agps patch but i havent tried last thing

It's slow and sporadic even with the fixes. The offset is usually at the same spot on my map.

another option is to create a nandroid backup the, flash a ROM with known working GPS, turn on the GPS on that ROM and let it get a fix on your position, leave the GPS on then reflash your backup. GPS should now work fine

Thanks arkoze and r30orozco!And is there any way to fix camcorder force close?

[Q] GPS Problem!

Hello,
when I flash a custom ROM GPS doesn't work. I have tried MildWild CM 3.7/3.8 and dGB. There were 2 similar Threads but 1 of them was ROM specific and the other was a hardware problem.
I know my GPS works because it works on stock sense.
Somewhere on the forum I found this:
1) Perform a nandroid backup of your previous rom.
2) Flash a stock rom ( it doesn't matter what one; as long as it is working )
3) Then your going to need to go to Google Maps and activate GPS - let it find you ( wait 15-60 seconds outside ).
4) Once it has a fix on you, restore your previous CM7 ROM using nandroid and GPS should work.
I tried but it doesn't work for me.
I also tried installing latest radio and AGPS fix, none seems to work.
Can anyone explain me in detail how to solve this? I have been trying for over 10 hours Y;Y
How can my GPS work on stock ROM but not on custom?
PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD THE ISSUE SOLVED ITSELF!
I would like to share how I solved this but I really dont know it suddenly just worked!

agps fix
have a look at this, it worked for me on Mildwild 3.5 (oxygen based version):

[Q] Wi-Fi doesn't work. Need help. I'm new to this.

Hello, I'm new here to this and to the flashing stuff and rest.
I wanted to do some change to my buzz so I just flashed my 2.2.1 to 2.3.7 (CyanogenMod-7.1.0.1).
Everything was fine, flashed Gapps also.
The only thing is my wi-fi isn't working.
It can't even connect. It's like refreshing by 3 secs and doing that in a circle.
/// What I Did:
- Reflashed CyanogenMod twice.
- Reflashed my radio (the newest version anyway).
/// Specs:
- Android 2.3.7
- CyanogenMod-7.1.0.1
- Radio 3.35.20.10
- HBOOt 6.01.1002
- S-OFF
Did everything today and WiFi was working in the morning perfectly (on 2.2.1)
Just let me know if you want to know something more. Thanks guys.
Heard that Regulatory domain may cause that problem. Tips?

There is a cm mod 7.2 and that must fix it i think

first of all: you asked if regulatory domain could have to do with your problem. If you have access to your WiFi's settings you could check that by simply changing the channels (the procedure for that might be totally different in different routers). From my experience I doubt it anyway but I might be wrong here.
Another possibility to check if your phone's WiFi works or not would be to log into a different network - no idea if you could do that.
The reason I'm suggesting this first is, we could of course suggest things you might try with your phone - but - if your WiFi is the problem this might take some days and wasting lots of posts without any result or help

Did you do wipe all? I think if you installed CyanogenMod 7.2 it would be ok then. Give a try

Some tests that you can do:
- Flash an older radio, to see if the radio didn't got corrupted somehow. Reboot the phone and then flash the newer again;
- Flash the stable CM7.2;
Did you have issues with the stock ROM and the wifi?

[Q] Problem JellyTime 4.2.2 on HTC DHD

Hi everyone!
I have problem with JellyTime on HTC DHD.
First I install JellyTime 4.2.2R7 into phone. The bluetooth not working.
After then I re-install JellyTime 4.2.2R9. The bluetooth ok, but gallery can't play video. Error text "Can't play this video"
--> Finally I re-install JellyTime 4.2.2R8. But the same, can't play video (open a video, waiting a long time and it still not working)
I also wiped cache and data and flash again.
Can everyone show me resolve this problem. Thanks so much!

Alo, anyone know this problem.

Hi,
I installed JellyTime 4.2.2 R8 a few days ago and never tried to play a video file on it before seeing your message.
I just put an .mp4 (720p) on my DHD and opened it with the integrated Google video player. Everything seems to be fine for me on that point. I can go forward and backward without any lag.
I tested also 3gp files, recorded with the camera and it works fine as well.
If you do it another way, could you give more details about how you proceed? I'm interested in checking if it works. And it can be handy for people to help you find a solution.
By the way, do you have any issue with GPS on JellyTime R8? In any case, could you indicate which radio version you have and if your DHD is S-ON or S-OFF?
GPS is not working on mine (no notification-bar icon, no fix), my phone is S-ON and radio version is 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M.

Hi, I have your same configuration and same problem. I solved by installing an ICS ROM, but i'll be happy to go back to JB if there were a way to fix it...

Apparently, flashing the radio ROM can fix it. But need to be S-OFF and it is more risky than just flashing the OS.
The ICS ROM you talk about has Sense, right?

yes it does...i read about flashing a new radio too..but yes basically it must be s-off.
I'm still researching. I'll tell you if i have any news.

Ok I solved doing this:
- Install this ROM (full wipe first) from herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235&highlight=zip full stock version.
- Then check that the gps works with gps status
- Go in recovery, do a wipe data/ factory reset
- INstall the JB R9 + gapps
Hope you can fix.

It really works? Amazing !
I saw a few posts talking about that procedure, but it looks so weird that I couldn't believe it! xD
I will try this week-end and let you know.
EDIT: And by the way, you still have the same radio ROM? It just flashes JB to Sense, activate the GPS from Sense and flash JB back?

Amazing !!
It fixed my GPS issue as well! But how it solved it is still a mystery.
I did it almost the same way as you did. I explain it behind in case it can be usefull for somebody else experiencing GPS issues:
Reminder: being S-ON, do not forget to flash boot.img from the ROM image using fastboot.exe !
- back up of JellyTime R8
- from Recovery:
-------->full wipe (data/factory resest + cache + dalvik)
-------->restore back up of my previous Sense ROM (the one that has been installed after using HTCDev-like tools to root/unlock/S-ON the phone)
- reboot on the Sense Rom and activate GPS and check status using GPS Status & Toolbox (can take several minutes before getting a fix signal)
- reboot in recovery:
-------->full wipe again
-------->restore backup of JellyTime R8
- reboot and finally activate GPS using the icon bar or going in parameters (the GPS icon should start blinking) and check the fix using again GPS Status & Toolbox (or whatever).
Thank you again Icifide ! :laugh:

GPS is not working after flashing Lineage 14.1

GPS is not working after flashing Lineage 14.1
I tried (GPS Status) but still says "Looking for GPS location..." and nothing happened.
Also, I wiped cache and dalvik many times.
Device : HTC One M8

Now, I tried "Venom Roms" and the same issue nothing fixed!
Is some file missing when I rooted or Rom?
Any help will be appreciated..

GPS is working now
I fix it :good:
1* Flashing stock RUU.zip . (reLock bootloder, Flash RUU,....etc).
2* Unlocking again, Installing last updated TWRP ,and then I backup the RUU ROM.
3* Flashing Lineage 14.1 and installing updated SuperSU.
4* GPS is working now..

Can you explain a little more precisely why do we have to do that to get the gps work again... I am now on the latest lineage and can't get the GPS lock. Is there any way to do that without the RUU flashing thing..?

I too would like a little more detail on the GPS issue.
I cannot get a GPS lock either. I've tried a whole lot of a whole lot , and nothing seems to work. My phone is a HTC One M8 / verizon model. I know verizon has some flakey stuff going on, and that may be my issue.
Lots of posts talk about editing the /etc/gps.conf configuration. On verizon phones, that looks to be a symbolic link to another file..Maybe not, my linux kind of SUCKS, but it is weird.
At any rate, when I edit the /etc/gps.conf and uncomment the first 3 lines as stated, my phone goes into a boot cycle, and I have to restore from a backup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated........

I do have a gps lock now on the lineage os...i just followed the steps from guy above... My mistake was when i install a lineage os i allways do the bootloder unlock, then immediately i flash twrp and than a full phone wipe (system, data, cache, internal memory). This time i relocked the bootloader, installed the ruu, then unlocked the bootloder again, after that i let the stock system to fully boot... I go through the first set up and after all that i flashed the twrp, and installed the lineage os but this time without a system wipe, just data, cache and internal memory (internal memory is not a must, but i love when i install a new rom to get totally fresh and clean install).
I don't have a clue why this works but it worked for me and maybe it can work for you...
My HTC M8 is European model but it doesn't matter, because if you do all this step with the stock ruu (Verizon ruu in your case) the files for the gps will be there... Good luck..
Edit: I am using the Navigon Europe and my gps locks instantly like on the stock android 6.0.

Hello, I've got an almost the same issue with GPS, it seems, the "assisted" function isn't work correctly. When I switch on the GPS, I have to wait 3-5 minutes to start working. After a few minutes there is no any issue with that, but a little bit annoying if I want to navigate from an unknown place and I have to drive "blind" for 5 minutes. I use the latest nightly build on my M8. I've started use the previous unofficial build, but currently I always upgrade to the latest nightly. Any idea?
Thanks in advance!

This fixed the GPS for me.
I'm was on LOS nightly 14.1-20170413 when i removed # in gps.conf. (use total commander app)
When phone start bootloop, i use the right quickpulldown to GPS and only 1 touch to disable. In current nightly, it's 2 touchs to disable GPS so have to be even faster before the bootloop or otherwise tap the airplane mode instead to stop bootloop. Also make sure you have screen lock = off or swipe.
now restore # in gps.conf and GPS is working.

Hi,
I recently went into the same issue with GPS on my m8. It was not working at all. I spent couple of days trying to flash different stock roms, RUU, factory reset, editting gps.conf file, even the solution described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/gps-harware-fix-teardown-t3023999. Nothing helped. No matter what I did, I couldn't get GPS working. I mean there was no signal at all.
Finally I wiped MISC partition and it solved the issue. It turned out that some wrong data was held on misc partition that stopped GPS from functioning correctly. One important notice - I was on stock firmware when I wiped MISC partition. Stock firmware managed to reinitialize it properly. If you are on custom FW, I am not sure it will work. You can try and if it will not work, it mean you should be on stock FW.
And just few commands for those who don't know how to do it:
With fastboot:
Code:
fastboot erase misc
If the above gives you "not allowed" error you can do it through adb:
Code:
su -
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc
Obviously you should be rooted or you can do the same through TWRP shell.
Hope it will help someone.
