GPS module not working

Hi friends
Since about 2 months I can no longer get gps fix with my HTC Desire. My 2 year old kids love it as much as I do, but unfortunelly they let it drop in the ground too often.
I'm afraid that the gps antenna is damaged, because the fact is that the gps really isn't working anymore.
A few years ago I used a windows mobile 5 phone with TomTom, and it accepted an external bluetooth antenna as wel as the integrated gps module.
Unfortunelly, TomTom is not suported on android. Do you know any android navigation software that accepts a bluetooth external antenna so that I can keep using my desire as a gps device?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
are you sure it's the antenna's fault? Maybe some settings are off (i.e. you're turning on 3G instead of GPS?). What sort of external antenna do you want to plug into it?

Hi
I´m not sure if the problem is really the antenna, but for sure it is not about the settings. I have this phone for about 1,5 years, so I know what to turn on.
Have already made factory settings and reconfigurated everything.
I know that the old phones without gps modules could be bluetotth paired with an external gps antenna. At least the TomTom supported this option. The question is to know if any android navigation software supports it now.

galaxy nexus gps not working propertly

After I drop my cellphone gps can't connect properly and gps icon is blinking all the time, like is not connected, but gps can locate my location around 3,4 km approximate and shows route but not exact location where I am. I also try install new software but same thing.
Any solutions? thank you
Do you make sure to have WiFi on when using GPS? I believe WiFi being on helps it to be more approximate and closer to your exact location.
Break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat ROM!
No, that is not a problem. Anyone know where is gps antenna so I can maybe unplug and plug it again, or maybe if i can order new gps chip, if is not integrated on mbo?

It's definitely integrated and soldered. See step 12.

You might have damage to your mainboard rather than the GPS tracker unless you damaged it in a way that directly hit the chip.
Thank you, then is probably damaged. I was thinking there is gps antenna which is connected to mbo somehow, but looks like only gps chip on mbo and no antenna for gps. So there is now way to fix this):

I think that you should check all other possible causes - permissions, configuration of gps.conf, test GPS functionality on open space with data on via tethering and lastly if stock antenna is connected properly, not damaged in any way.
If you really want to improve GPS reception IMO better would be standalone GPS unit paired via bluetooth with tablet.
