[EVO 4G Accessories] dsf3g:
If you're looking for a decently priced 32GB class 4 Microsd card backed by one of the biggest and most respected retailers in the world, you can do much worse than this:

http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Class-microSDHC-Memory-TS32GUSDHC4/dp/B004R7P28W/ref=pd_cp_e_1

This is sold by Amazon... not "fulfilled by Amazon" but actually sold by them. So $55.00 buys you the peace of mind of knowing that if there's anything wrong with the card, you can always get your money back. Plus, this is about as cheap as I, personally, have seen legitimate 32GB cards sold for.

Also, buy with Amazon's Super Saver shipping and shipping is free (does take a bit longer, though.)

In any case, this is probably what I'll do when I get around to upgrading my 16GB card for a 32.
[EVO 4G Accessories] tgruendler:
For 8 dollars more, you can go to Newegg and get a 32GB Class 10 card.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...11558&cm_re=adata_32gb-_-20-211-558-_-Product
[EVO 4G Accessories] dsf3g:
Oh, that's pretty tempting, too. I'd love to see a sde-by-side of their actual write speeds.

(Edit: Wow, one reviewer is seeing 16 mb/sec write speeds after formatting it on his Nook Color. So this Class 10 seems to be the real deal.)
[EVO 4G Accessories] hooover:
Whats the class system? The higher the better? What would be the best class to get?
[EVO 4G Accessories] tgruendler:
The higher the number, the faster the write speed. Class 10 is the fastest I have seen in a 32GB MicroSD card. Here is a link on the class differences:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating
[EVO 4G Accessories] _Burst_:
This is the card that I have. It works great. No problems at all. And speed is highly noticeable especially in regards to the large capacity.
[EVO 4G Accessories] JimSmith94:
I ordered mine last night and can't wait for it to get here!
[EVO 4G Accessories] internetpilot:
I bought a Patriot 32gb Class 4 for $39 + 1.99 shipping from Frys.com. It was a weekend only sale and I ordered mine like 30 minutes prior to the sale ending that Sunday night (so I didn't have time to mass post the deal here). I've since received it and it works great. I'm using it in my Acer Iconia A500 tablet instead of my Evo though. You'd think that watching hi-res movies on the larger screen of the A500 would put the read speed of this Class 4 card to the test, but the whole experience has been flawless.

If you're in the market for a 32gb card, I'd keep an eye on the usual websites (Amazon, Buy.com, Newegg, Frys, etc.) because they Class 4 cards are starting to get rather affordable. The Class 10 cards are still a bit too pricey for my wallet.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dsf3g:
My understanding is that the read speed on most of these cards is going to be fine. It's the write speed that varies most and which is dependent on the Class rating of the card. I've got a 16GB class 2 card in my Nook Color and there's no lag watching movies.
[EVO 4G Accessories] internetpilot:
The read speed varies significantly between the card classes as well. The big question is whether or not the hardware (which typically trails behind the media) can take advantage of a card with faster access/read times. I haven't found a utility that can speed test the external SD card in my Tegra2 based Acer A500 tablet, but in a thread on another Android forum, the Evo hardware was shown to take advantage of the significantly faster read times in Class 6 & 10 cards.

All that being said, how fast a read time does anyone really need? I've never felt the need to date to go faster than Class 4 card in any of my devices, for both read and even write times.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dsf3g:
I wouldn't mind faster write times on my Nook Color if only to be able to copy movies on and off faster (on my current card it takes between 3 and 5 minutes per 1.5 GB title.) Other than that, yeah... not much reason. I've made lots of videos on my Evo and never noiticed any issues with write speed on my Class 4 card.
[EVO 4G Accessories] asyork:
There is a 32GB class 10 sold by Amazon for $42.31 ($52.31 - $10 MIR with free shipping) right now.

I can't post links yet, but the full name is "Patriot LX Series 32 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card PSF32GSDHC10 (Black)"

Just make sure the merchant is set to Amazon.

[EVO 4G Accessories] runcool:
I've got a class 10 16GB card in my evo. AND I CORRECTLY did speed tests through my computer and through the phone. and with the class then, there was a huge improvement on speeds even while it was installed in the evo. Professionally speaking.. I think they should install class 10 in all mobile phones. :-D it will only go as fast as its slowest connection. :-P
[EVO 4G Accessories] Moon_23:
There's a Lexar 32g class 10 micro for 55$ on the tiger direct website... Don't know if its a trust worthy site. I have not bought from them.
[EVO 4G Accessories] tgruendler:
TigerDirect is a direct competitor or NewEgg and is 100% legit but I cannot find the card you are refering too. Can you PM me the link and I can post it up for everybody?

Edit:

Found it:

[EVO 4G Accessories] Moon_23:
The estimated delivery date for the SD on tiger Direct is late Aug. Hopefully that's just a worst case scenario.

Hello. After the update (vodafone branding) the GPS does not work anymore. There are no satellites found and after finishing maps GPS is still active and seeking. Only a complete restart help to end GPS. A software reset has brought nothing. Any ideas?

Thanks Chris
[Desire HD General] jebac21:

[Desire HD General] jorjino2000:
Hi.

I do not have this problem.

Why don`t you try to download RUU and reflash via your PC?

Maybe this will help.

[Desire HD General] go.schnuffel:
Unfortunately, I do not know how to do that.

Thanks Chris
[Desire HD General] designer_1:
No GPS after HotFix yesterday
[Desire HD General] jorjino2000:
Sorry mate, did not read you are using vodafone.

In this case wait for an update with fix.

Cheers.
[Desire HD General] designer_1:
Oops - not updated my signature lately.

This should be correct now
[Desire HD General] mateash2002:
Confirmed on mine too. Used GPS Test and it just couldnt find anything. Any way to downgrade?
[Desire HD General] dingbatt:
Me too! Well at least initially.

The GPS appeared to be dead, not finding any satellites. However I left it on using GPSTest and after about 5-10 minutes it eventually started to find satellites and then improved in accuracy over the next couple of minutes. Much the same way as you would get from a completely cold boot, when the phone doesn't know where on the globe it is. I did a couple of reboots after I first read this thread. Just took a drive and it seems to navigate okay as well.

Unfortunately I had already fired an email off to HTC telling them I was displeased. At least it may make them get something sorted out for those with no GPS at all by adding to the complaints file.

I had a vague hope that the OTA update was preparing the DHD for an unlocked bootloader.
[Desire HD General] go.schnuffel:
Can we restrict it to certain devices?

Are affected only branded devices, even when using different providers?

There are only old or newly purchased equipment?

After all, some have no problem with GPS.

I have an unbranded dhd.

What's the problem?
[Desire HD General] drkdgglr:
Vodafone DHD (NL), no GPS after update.

Hard resets didn't help either.
[Desire HD General] samsenteur:
A cold start can take up to 10mn if you have a poor reception.

Did you try with GPS Status and downloaded the A-GPS data before trying to launch google maps?

Those who did that seemed to have it working again...
[Desire HD General] drkdgglr:
I don't get a fix after >30min's. Did everything hard reset, gps status, agps....

Looks like it's only some branded phones that have the problem.

[Desire HD General] drey_p:
@chrisully - I don't think 2.50 can be downgraded at this point?!?!? Or can it?

Just been on to Live Chat with HTC and they deny all knowledge of this problem - they say that no one has reported it.... why don't I believe them..?
[Desire HD General] drkdgglr:
I was on live chat aswell, last friday. They told me to bring the phone back to Vodafone as they released the software.

Started a ticket now so I can save all the info that is being given to me.
[Desire HD General] lukesan:
Guys I don't have this issue but can you try the attached apk to test?

Install the attached apk and start it. Just press 'Get Position Test'

Please have you DHD outside and stand there for a couple of minutes.

Do you see anything happening?
[Desire HD General] drey_p:
Hi Lukesan. I have installed the apk and left it running on the phone for about 10 minutes or so - nothing comes up on the screen...
[Desire HD General] lukesan:
Actually does the GPS icon come up when you start something that is gps related like the tool or gps status?
[Desire HD General] drey_p:
Yeah - the GPS icon comes up and just won't go away until you reboot. Even turning the GPS off doesn't clear the icon. It is the same with Satnav and GPS Status and the tool you posted.
[Desire HD General] lukesan:
Damn, seems like they really broke something on your devices.

I don't have any additional (sic!) problems with GPS after this update (UK unbranded) - I still had to reset Google maps to make GPS work, but after that it fixed to GPS satellites all right.

reload the Locations Maps. Since doing that my GPS is back to normal. Unbranded DesireHD.

I am having exactly the same problem since the update. T-Mobile branded phone.

I am just re-installing HTC Location and updating maps as per the last post to see if this helps. Hope there is a fix released soon - I use the GPS more than any other feature.

HTC response to GPS problem

HTC have just replied to my query regarding the GPS problem. After 2 weeks they announce that no-one else has reported a problem and the best thing to do is hard reboot! Vodafone say the same...problem - what problem! Failing that, send it in for repair. A hard reboot has made no difference at all so I am going to have to hand it back to Vodafone for repair. Why won't they admit they messed up?
[Desire HD General] drey_p:
@designer_1 - that is an absolute lie - I went onto their Web Chat and had a long discussion about it (they denied any problem).

I have since had a follow up phone call coz I left poor feedback on the support I had received on the Web Chat. I went through everything again with the person who wasn't able to offer any solution.

So they are definitely aware of the issue as you and I aren't the only ones to tell HTC.

As you rightly said - why on earth won't they admit the problem???

I also had the problem and managed to fix it by downgrading and flashing a Custom ROM - I don't know if that is something you would consider rather than sending it in?!? The reason I suggest that is because the Vodafone repair centre seems to also have been pretty inept at sorting out the issue. Someone else had their phone returned after VF had simply reflashed the 2.50 version of the software.... needless to say the GPS issue still wasn't resolved.
[Desire HD General] drkdgglr:
In a web chat I had some time ago, HTC already admitted there was a problem, and that there had been a lot of reports.

My problem has also dissapeared now that I rooted the phone. Otherwise it would have been at the bottom of a lake somewhere.

Shame on HTC&Vodafone, this should have been fixed long ago!
[Desire HD General] designer_1:
Replacement phone

I have resorted to the only course available without rooting the phone. A replacement was delivered yesterday and everything is fine now. One bonus out of all this is that the phone has a stock HTC ROM and no Vodafone customisation...phew!!!!
[Desire HD General] BrutalUK:
I have a branded Vodafone Desire HD and I had this problem too. Wi-Fi fixed, GPS broke. Vodafone aren't doing any favours by fobbing off customers. I've got so fed up that in the end I rooted my device. It is a SOFTWARE problem, not hardware as I now running Virtuous Unity ROM and my GPS works again, infact quicker pick up then the branded Vodafone bloatware.

Whether you root or not is the question you must ask yourself!
[Desire HD General] jschledermann:
"Dear Jan Schledermann,

Thank you for your email.

I’m sorry that I was unable to resolve your query I understand that you are still experiencing difficulties with GPS.

I have raised the issue as a Bug. But unfortunately the only thing we can offer is either to have the phone in for repair and try and fix the issue here or to await an update to fix this issue unfortunately we can not give you a concrete time line for this I would suggest keeping an eye on the HTC website or face book/twitter page for this.

I hope that this information meets with your requirements, should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me again."

This is the content of an e-mail from HTC, UK, dated july 29th 2011, in response to e-mail regarding the GPS issue NOT being resolved by the Dutch HTC repaircentre Dynafix. Dynafix claims to have "exchanged a part" in my phone, but the GPS problems wasn't resolved

The only thing you are getting from sending the phone in for repair is attention from HTC to this problem.

Only a new software update kan bring the GPS back to life!
[Desire HD General] gavin watson:
I'm having my DHD replaced by my network operator tomorrow, the GPS problem and it keeps on 'losing' a network signal and has to be rebooted.
[Desire HD General] swift2fly:
after the update I too was having GPS issues. But before the update my GPS wasn't soo great. I bought my phone with froyo 2.2 then immediately upgraded to 2.3 OTA, so i never tested the GPS on 2.2.

So, i just got back from riding around town today and decided to play with the GPS. I loaded google maps and turned on GPS. my position was locked within seconds. I tested the GPS using GPS status and it found and locked onto 12 satellites within seconds (Strong lock). Since my last post i did nothing, but coincidentally the other day i lightly dropped my phone (my foot took most of the impact). Im back in the office now and i am about 3 meters away from the front door but no GPS lock. So now i'm still unsure why the GPS is soo selective as to what days it wants to work. Maybe it is hardware and by me dropping it, it gave the GPS antenna a stronger connection? or did the software somehow upgrade itself? or maybe the region i'm in (southeast asia) has something to do with it.

BTW i am unbranded and im from the South East Asia region.
[Desire HD General] swift2fly:
after work while having dinner outside. My GPS did not get a lock and I let GPS status run the whole time. it even showed 4fixes and 4 satellites on the screen.
[Desire HD General] mbgy42:
Phone still broken.

The phone has been returned with exactly the same fault just as I predicted it would - Plainly HTC do not test the phones they repair. I have now had to book it in for another repair - This time Olga at HTC is sure it is an antenna fault that will fix the issue just as last time Ryan B was convinced that all it needed was the ROM to be re-flashed -

My theory is that the "engineers" at HTC tested the phone by calling up Google maps and waiting for it to broadly pick up their location without getting a lock on any satellites!

Now looking forward to sending it back a third time when the GPS still doesn't work. This will be the last time I buy a HTC phone on principle and I have been a HTC enthusiast for a long time.
