[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasobem:
Very true colonel, it's really frustrating ... An hour ago i was trying out GPS with the newest Leedroid kernel. I've been really excited, because i got a fix inside the house (after 5 minutes waiting time), and it has been very accurate. I went outside with a big grin on my face, took a look on maps and ... nothing, no fix, GPS jumping around even after 2 minutes. Finally a fix on a position 20m off. As a little additional gift from the God of the Smartphones, now when I'm holding my phone to the east, it's showing north sometimes. :)

It's strange that there doesn't seem to be a solution for our GPS problems as it is working on stock rom ...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knegge:
Yeah, I can second that. I went as far as soldering the pads on the plastic cover to make sure there's metal that can connect to the prongs/springs. Mine had small black pits in them, probably too thin strips so the prongs weared a hole in them.

I've made a youtube clip on it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qm_z65LA8k

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colonel_lp:
cool. where did you get a new gps cover from. i took the cover off a while back and it worked better for a bit, but would like a spare cover if im going to solder it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LondonTownGuy:
GPS is messed up with Gingerbread, I found the problem was the GPS.spade.so file in: system/lib/hw. The only Rom I found to work was the latest cm7 nightly. 80 onward.This has a modified gps file. I'm surprised you're having problems on CM7 maybe try clearing the efs cache;

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12764930&postcount=1

Or put the SD card in a card reader and format it. Reinstall Rom doing a full wipe.

PS.noticed you already tried wipe efs. When trying the later nightlys a full wipe is required.I also read a lot of Cm7 users were substituting older GPS files to solve the issue.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colonel_lp:
thanks i will give it a try, but i can also get a fix when i press the gps cover. mix of problems i guess..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasobem:
May i ask how to wipe efs data on DHD? I tried AngelDeath's fix and replacing the conf file with another one, but didn't help :( ?

Can i just use the vision_wipe_efs_01.zip or should i use the dd method (brick risk)?

Thank you :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LondonTownGuy:
Ive done it many times using second method in terminal emulator without any problem just backup first.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knegge:
I bought it on ebay (item 140529713185), not the easiest to find unless you search for the "correct" name :P "gps antenna" yields no items...

They often call it "flash cover" as the camera flash leds shine through it, so variations on that will give you a decent list of items.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malobestino:
Funny, I was just going to open a thread like this one.

I'm on ARHD 5.1.7 and I'm experiencig the same issue as the OP (I used to have the same also previously on ARHD 5.1.3).

GPS doesn't fix at all in google maps, the only workaround aI found to be a little effective is to open GPS status (which takes from 50 to 70 sec to fix anyway) before using google maps, but still the precision remain at 40 m and fix is not very fast.

I tried all the solutions suggested in the question 14 of ARHD first post but with no improvement.

The only thing i wasn't able to do is that, which I understand to be the same solution suggested by michelD

Sorry for such a noob question, but I don't get how to give/get the permissions to overwrite a file in /etc/ directory.

Everytime I tried to overwrite the file it remains the same.

Can someone please provide me some detailed information?

Thanks in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgladman:
I had the same problem on CM7 but I downloaded FasterFix from the market and set the pool to my location eg.UK. Now my GPS locks on in a few seconds.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malobestino:
Ok, I figured out by myself and I succeded in overwrite gps.conf using "super manager".

Now the GPS finds 2 more sateliites than before (they were 6, now 8), but the fixing is now worse than before, sometimes taking more than 5 minutes and still I can't get any fix directly into Gmaps.

What amazes me the most is that my previous phone - the wildfire - used to fix a lot faster (no more than 15 sec.).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasobem:
I've tried several roms now:

CM7.0.3

Stock-rooted Gingerbread (2.36.405.8)

leedroid 2.2.3

Raidroid Stockify 1.72.405.3

I did wipe efs data, wich didn't work, then tried fasterfix, then tried gps status (I read that gps status sometimes can cause trouble)

Sadly none of the roms GPS worked for me, even as close as possible to one of my last working configurations, Raidroid Stockify :(

Now i went back to original unrooted stock again, made S-ON, just to test it out, this time to 1.72. And GPS still sucks. I'll have to send it in for repair i think.

Something was surprising: When i had shortly (for rooting on s-on-reasons) 1.32 on my DHD, it showed two WLAN, wich none of the roms ever showed (from a large, far away city hall, very weak signal). So it seems that for me the strongest, best reception is on 1.32, wich is the ONLY software that can deal with my obviously bad GPS/Wlan hardware - sadly this doesn't help me, because videorecording is lagging on 1.32 etc ...

Hi,i use ficeto´s jvh rom and my battery is very fast down.when i go to about phone>battery use have i 49% displaj and friend have wildfire and he have only 2%.how to solve this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirn1111:
i didn want to say this,.. but this is stupid question.

If you use your device long time.. then sure the display gets higher priority in battery usage. Even you dont do anything it consumes battery.

It must be something consumes the most.

Your friend have rarely used his phone at the moment you checked with his.

Currently using MIUI just because of that notification bar. I use it all the day, just love it. But MIUI drains battery, so it would be nice to see this in Darky's but I don't see it happen like that.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Hi there.

I have a problem here. I am intended to flash Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 version in my device. I use the same method on how i flash radios (using adb reboot bootloader etc method) previously and it worked fine.

It says that it is finished flash, however when i check in my software information, the old radio version is still there. (didn't change)

Any idea what wrong here?

Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
later, when you enter to fastboot via adb... you written well

"fastboot flash radio radio.img"?

are you sure about you don´t have another radio into tools folder?maybe it´s into the folder the last radio that you flashed...

and this question can be, has no sense but...:p are you sure about you was download the correct radio?ovious question sorry.

also one question... you don´t like the "fastboot commander tool" aplication for flash radios?

it´s soo harmless and effective for it...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Hi SERGI.3210

Yes. I am sure that the radio i downloaded and where i placed them is correct.

I didn't use Fastboot Commander Tool because I am not sure how to use it. :P

But thats weird isnt it? Previously i use the adb reboot method and it works. Now it didnt work. =/
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
yeah buddy.... its strange...

has you checked md5 checksum?¿?¿?

also while you solves this problem (i´m going to read about it in a spanish forum...)

maybe you decides to flash the radio (for try another method and reject possibilities of error...)

its a fully harmless method: but first check md5...

step by step:

-download fastboot commander tool.

-extract the tool and double click...

-put the img file in the paragraph that says: "radio file" (more or less lol)

-then connect your device via usb

-later put it in fastboot mode

-and click in the "FLASH IT" button...

-enjoy:)

i know that via adb its the normal mode for our, but there are less possibilities to brick the device with the tool..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spike_14:
hi!! i´m relatively new here!!

sergi we meet again! jjajaja

thank´s for your kernel thread boy!!! its useful!

i want to say that i flash with fastboot commander and its soo easy... because i don´t know a lot how to use adb parameters...:confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Hi spike_14, nice to meet you here.

Hmm that sounds pretty simpler compared with adb method. :eek:

Ok, before I move on to anything uncommon, the Fastboot Commander Tool is from this thread right? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824435 Lol.

[EDIT] I've tried using the Fastboot Commander tool and it works! Again, so weird isn't it? >< Previously can use now cannot use.

Hi guys

I have placed a preorder at expansys. Based on your experiences buying from them, how is their service?

They say that they will not charge my credit card or ship the product when they have stock before they confirm with me. I hope they stick to this as if stock is very late to arrive then i might want to cancel the order
[HTC Sensation] 10332007:
I bought my S730 from them when it released. Overall it was a good experience. I did not get charged until the phone was ready to ship and then it arrived quickly.

My only frustration was the lack of detailed information about when stock would arrive etc. I know they do not know too much from their distributors but still, any news would have been better than no news.

That might have changed as that was the last phone I bought from them. I missed the first wave of shipments and got on the wait list for round two which is when mine came through.
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
I pre-ordered my Diamond 2 fromm them when it came out and as "10332007" said above, they didn't have information about stocks. At the time I had paid by wire transfer, and when the stock status became "Available" I still didn't get any shipped notification until the phone would go "Out of stock" again and when I called they said they had a lot orders and that they were serving the earlier orders first, this was repeated 3 times then I called them and cancelled my order. They then transferred back my payment with no problem what so ever.

On another note, a freind of mine ordered his Desire HD a few months ago, and they shipped it fast. Though it was already available & not on pre-order.
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
thanks but..

Thanks guys for the feedback

but since the price was not yet available on their website when i pre-ordered, will they inform me of the final price when they get stock before they charge my card and ship

I might not like their price when they advertise it and might chose to go with another seller

There is no 3.0.2.4 for the Nexus S 4G. You are using a Nexus S recovery. Easiest way is to download ROM Manager, select flash recovery and select "Nexus S 4G"
