[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
Thanks adrynalyne for continuing to look into this.

I guess that explains why setting the SUPL_HOST and SUPL_PORT to point to Google in the gps.conf file never worked for me before, if they have it hard-coded. That URL looks like it just has C format strings in it, where Verizon is going to replace %03d with a zero-padded 3-digit number. If it can vary based on the network, I guess that explains why it's hard-coded like that. Do you know if the numbers you hard-coded in are different from what they normally use?

Anyway, mine is working again this morning without making any of these changes, but if it stops then I'll try your updates.

But still, the SUPL update and manually downloading the XTRA data is all dependent on data, right? It doesn't explain how with all data off and all XTRA data cleared, I can get a fix with airplane mode but not with the radio on, all else being equal.

That's the baffling part to me... and even more now that it has started working occasionally but suddenly stops again later.

I noticed something in classes.dex, "HtcCdmaGpsOne" and a message nearby that said "RADIO ready" as well--is it possible that they could have some sort of weird tower/radio-based AGPS implementation in these phones? Just grasping for anything to explain it at this point.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
It depends on the device, which supl server is used.

For example, Samsung uses spirent-lcs.com and its HORRIBLE.

Nokia uses supl.nokia.com.

HTC phones as of late seem to use the funky coded supl server. I should note the Desire HD has horrible GPS too.

The issues you guys are seeing, is very reminisent of a device being fed bad ephemeris data. That would prevent gps from ever locking while data is enabled.

Forcing the xtra file in may be a band aid, but its very temporary, and if the aGPS portion of the devices continues to feed bad data, as soon as the ephemris data in the xtra.bin gets a bit dated, things will stop working.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewayne01:
I upgraded to BAMF 1.6.3 and applied the 2 gps zip files. This seemed to make things worse. I can't get a fix even in airplane mode now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
I already had 1.6.3, but I haven't applied the SUPL updates yet. Just got it to work in airplane mode and got a logcat. Currently trying with only CDMA on, looking promising... I'll upload in a minute and see if that can tell us anything.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Did you try both?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewayne01:
Yes. I applied the first one, tried GPS, then rebooted into recovery and tried the second one. Each time i was unable to get a fix. I even deleted the xtra.bin file that I pushed to it yesterday and re-pushed it. But that didn't make a difference either.

BTW. I have Radio 1.16.00.0402w_1. That is the latest, isn't it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
Logcats attached. I don't see anything useful, but maybe you will.

I ran it 5 different times, from airplane mode only to everything on, and it actually did get a lock all 5 times. I think the quickest was 87 seconds, and the longest was 540 seconds, but there was no pattern.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Yeah thats the latest radio.

I guess I need to convert it into java, and look a little closer at it.

GPS Outage

Hello All,

I've been following this forum for a few days now because the gps services on my phone and my wifes phone (both TB) are experiencing the same issues described throughout the posts.

We live in Henderson, TX which geographically lies between Tyler and Carthage.

I too have called Verizon repeatedly with no help, but today, I believe I may have found a glimmer of hope with a 2nd level tech. As most have noted throughout this thread, the 3rd party gps apps are not supported by Verizon. The tech reminded me of this fact and asked if I was a user of VZ Navigator. To make a long story short, I quickly installed VZ Navigator while trying to communicate the real issues at work in our area of Texas. Once VZ Navigator was installed, (yes, I agreed to the $10 per month) I opened the app to discover all the same issues. VZ Navigator doesn't get a gps fix either. It just says, "Updating location..." and when you try to navigate to any destination from your current location, it says "Getting GPS..." until it returns with an error message. The error message reads "VZ Navigation is having trouble finding your current position. Please try again. (1001)

Once the 2nd level tech verified that I actually installed VZ Navigator and was not able to make it work, she notated all I had to say about the gps issues and escalated the open ticket to a higher level engineer. She said I should get a call tomorrow.

She said the key to getting the issue escalated was VZ Navigator. It's not free. It's a Verizon product. She also stated that I can stop the service with a credit or refund once the issue is resolved. I encourage everyone to do the same. It's worth a shot!

I will keep everyone informed of my progress (or lack of) as time passes.

I do have another interesting note to add to the discussion...

I travelled to Nacogdoches, Texas yesterday. I was there for the entire day, from early morning until dark. GPS services worked flawlessly for my entire stay. Verizon doesn't have a presence in Nacogdoches county, so phone service is mostly limited to within the city limits. I use an app called GpsFix, it's simple, but really helps with all the troubleshooting I've been doing. I launched the program on my way out of Henderson yesterday, but wasn't able to get a satellite fix on highway 259 until I reached highway 204 (about 8 miles north of Nac). For the duration of my day in Nac, I had no issues. I even exited out of all gps apps for a few hours, but was able to get a fix in less than a second when getting back in. This could possibly be a coincidence, but doesn't seem likely. I lost the ability to get a gps fix again after we passed the same highway 204 intersection on the way back home to Henderson.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewayne01:
Nacogdoches isn't part of the area affected by the Alltel tower conversion.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
Thanks sboats, that's helpful. I am going to add your locations to the map I linked to a couple of pages back.

thewayne01, we have the same radios, same ROM, etc. and you still seem to be having issues while I'm not (so far today). I wonder if we are in different parts of Tyler, or on different towers.

I turned off GPS, and turned on Google services and pulled up the map from a couple of different locations. Since there was no wifi, the only way it could be getting the location is from the towers I'm hitting. Here is a link to the four estimations I got:

http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/4695/swtyler.png

Do any of those locations cover where you are?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sboats:
I'm not covered by any of those locations. I reside within the city limits of Henderson. A verizon tower is less than a mile to the east from my front door.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewayne01:
No, but I was in some of those areas last night with no GPS.

All of the towers in the area are fed from the same MTSO. So I would think that no matter which tower I am connected to, I would have the same results.

I am going to wipe my phone and reflash the ROM since I have made so many changes recently.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
That might help, I did that yesterday when I upgraded to 1.6.3, and I had also been using a combo radio (.7 CDMA, .6 LTE) because I was afraid of the reboot issues I've been reading about. Upgraded to the OTA .7 yesterday, no reboots. Of course that might just be because we don't have LTE here.

Oh also, when I do my testing, I always reset GPS state from the GPS Status app, exit the app, turn off GPS, and force stop the GPS Status app, just to make sure everything's cleared out. Then I open the app again, turn on GPS, and go from there.

One other thing, don't know if it helps or not, because it didn't help on my brother's, but I disabled the time sync with Verizon's network and used the ClockSync app to sync my clock via NTP. Since GPS is based on that, I thought it might help, though I would assume it uses relative time from the phone vs. the satellite. Either way, it bugged me that the time was off by 14 seconds. :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewayne01:
I think all of these changes has broken something. I can't even get a fix in airplane mode after full wipe and re-flashing BAMF1.6.3.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewayne01:
Finally got a fix. Using jonakin's suggestion.

I cleared aGPS in GPS Status. Closed the app, disabled gps and force closed GPS Status. I then enabled airplane mode, enabled GPS, and left wifi disabled. I was able to get a fix with this and it seems to be holding with data enabled now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
Good. Seems to be holding for me too. We'll see if it lasts. In the past few weeks, it would be back to nothing after a few hours. Being able to follow that procedure makes it sound like it is something we're doing, but in the past it wasn't something that would stick like it is lately. (I still have Google location services and the aGPS option in GPS Status turned off, so I'm only running on standalone GPS.)

Waiting for my brother to get back from Ft. Worth with his Droid X to see if his problems come back or not.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgldrgdlr:
I know a lot of this thread is related to locations in TX, however, I'm just north of Chicago and get great 4g service but my GPS is horrible. After skimming through this thread, I assumed the LTE radio was the problem. I changed to CDMA auto (PRL) and got a lock within seconds. I have tried 4 or 5 times since yesterday and it works every time.

If this is somewhere within the last 18 pages, sorry. As I said, I skimmed through the thread.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carthaginian:
I took my Droid X running GummyJAR 1.9 with me on a trip from Tyler to Lubbock this past weekend. (I have been having the same GPS problems everyone else has in East Texas for the past few weeks.) I couldn't get a lock on or even see any satellites using the GPS Status app all along US-69 and I-20 westbound until I got close to Mesquite. Then a few satellites started popping up on the GPS, but I still didn't get the full lock and all the satellites until I got to Duncanville.

From there, I was in Fort Worth for one night and then out to Lubbock and back. The GPS was very consistent--never dropped throughout the whole trip. And I used it a lot.

Coming back on Sunday 5/15, I continued to have a lock travelling on I-20 almost all the way to Canton. Then I was curious what would happen if I restarted the phone. After starting up, I couldn't see ANY satellites and no lock the rest of my trip home or since then. EDIT: I take that back...GPS is now working Monday morning in Tyler...but for how long?

If you haven't already, check out the map we've put together (bit.ly/etxgps). We are beginning to see a good picture form. And please contribute your experience!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sboats:
I've posted to the Verizon Wireless Forum since there was nothing to be found. The last CS rep I spoke to said she couldn't find anything in their forums. I encourage everyone to go and post your response.

Maybe someone can post the link since I'm not permitted.

It's titled:

VZ Navigator and GPS not working in East Texas
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
Thanks sboats, I saw all your posts. Getting everybody together on this can't hurt.

Status update: it worked perfectly for me in SW Tyler from Saturday night through Monday morning. Thunderbolt and Droid X were both working this morning. As of 1:15 this afternoon, both of them just stopped again. Nothing on either phone changed. No reboots, no resetting GPS state, no downloading AGPS, etc. EDIT: Started working again on its own later in the afternoon.

Here's that link to the map one more time if anybody missed it: bit.ly/etxgps

Here's the link sboats posted: VZ Navigator and GPS not working in East Texas

I downloaded the GPS status app from Market and fixed my problem!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonakin:
thewayne01, is there any way to change the subject of this thread, or better yet, close this thread and redirect everybody to the new one on the Verizon forums?

Since this clearly isn't a Thunderbolt-only issue, it would get rid of all the "download GPS status" posts and get everything Texas-related in one place.

By the way, I'm out again this morning. Had to use the Airplane Mode trick to get a fix.

[Thunderbolt General] GuestD1018:
So I was in clockworkmod deleting battery stats and hit the back menu item twice by accident and got to a screen where it was asking for a block size. I had no way of escaping it and if I kept hitting the down key it would toggle back button on/off. The selections were the usual memory sizes, 256, 512, all the way to 4xxx. I'm not sure if I selected one (or which one) or backed out. Could/did I mess something up? Thanks!!

Oh, and, way to go Slayher!!
[Thunderbolt General] magneticzero:
Did you take the warp whistle to level 8?
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
The 4xxx was probably 4096. You might have been adjusting ext3 filesystem block sizes (possibly).
[Thunderbolt General] guitarevan07:
I've done that before. It controls how fast the earth rotates
[Thunderbolt General] GuestD1018:
Woot!! :D

What should it be set at?
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
It depends on the size of the filesystem. If indeed it is for an ext3 filesystem, 1024 would be fine, since it supports a maximum filesize of 16GiB and filesystem size of 2TiB.
[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
You are in a little maze of twisty passages, all alike.

[Thunderbolt General] elrichmeister:
Hey guys long time lurked, so here is my issue.

I was changing Rom, I had bamf remix 1.4, and I wanted to try another Rom. So backed up my current Rom through cwm, downloaded tesla coil 1.5 so I did wipe and installed tesla. Everything seemed fine, now this Rom does auto recover through Google, and I saw all my apps start to download after I put my account info, so I let it do its thing and it managed to get some apps installed. Then the rest of them just got stuck at "starting download", I've seen it do that before so I usually just cancel the download an try them later 1 by 1. So when I tried to load Rom manager it would go again to starting download but, then would get a notification saying, "Download Error, Download unsuccessful, please try again".

So that's what's going on, I restored my previous back up and it is still doing the same thing. I've wiped and cleared cache . Tried virus Rom and its the same thing . The only way I can get apps through the market is if I push it through a pc on a web browser.

I have searched already, and tried clearing data on market and download manager.
[Thunderbolt General] Stein357:
My phone is currently experiencing the same issue, only with all apps. I can download apps perfectly from the browser based market though. I've searched for a good six hours and I've tried everything that has been commonly suggested and nothing's worked.
[Thunderbolt General] magicriggs:
Menu>settings>applications>manage applicctions > all tab > look For market> clear defaults, clear cache etc. Clear everything. Then try to download again in the marrket.
[Thunderbolt General] elrichmeister:
Well I think there was a fluke with Google or something, I wiped and flashed again and now its working again. When I was still investigating the problem, I used log cat to see what was going on, and the error was an apiexception and it had http 503 error, which I believe means the link is forbidden. This all happened when I flashed tesla Rom and it was auto restoring all my apps at the same time, and I think Google blocked my account or something because of too many download requests. Looks like the block was only for 24 hours. Sorry for rambling

But market is working again

Coming from HTC Inspire btw.

Size-Build is awesome imo, perfect screen size, nice and lightweight and does not feel cheap imo.

Yea its superamoled but wtf at the yellowish tint....why did they do this?? My Captivate looked better and this is one of the main selling points for me, is there anything we can do to get it back to the other color temperature? Seriously....

Tried the camera a bit, not impressive at all, neither was the inspire so eh whatever.

Everything is FAST! I love it!

Stock Android!!! Woooh! No Blocking of Apps! Woooh!

Wifi seems a bit slow, it started doing a restore off the bat and downloading all my apps from the inspire and even the background! wow! Really cool feature that I had no Idea about, but some apps installed and then I kept getting a bunch of errors saying "insufficient memory" I guess I gotta do them one by one...

Thats pretty much it, Im satisfied but the screen tint is kinda leaving a bad taste in my mouth, the SuperLCD seemed more sharp and brighter then this and the whites were WHITE and the blacks werent too shabby either, dunno wtf is going on as the Screen on my old captivate was great and I loved it, this is eh...
