Hi there, I've been dealing with this gps issue of not locking for almost two months, and tried, as many users did, with different roms, kernels, radios, combinations, etc.

Also applied the " Instantaneous GPS Fixation v1.2 US & INTERNATIONAL" from AngelDeath: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11342772, did many tests using "Fasterfix", "GPS Status", "GPS Fix", etc.

Then I jumped to the "hardware" part and that was, as far as I could, to the antenna. I've been working as a technician for 20 years, so I'm familiar with electronic components, assembling and disassembling, soldering, etc. So, first I cleaned the antenna's contact as Rakesh2002 suggested: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101066, no change, then I went one step furher and made a little "antenna" with thin wire and soldered it. Nothing happened. Finally I decided to take off the home made antenna, checked that everything was in proper place and, well... I was in the same place that I was in the beginning. GPS can't get more than 3 o 4 satellites, can't lock, waiting "forever" on clean skies, etc....I desisted.

Finally, I started to think on buying a Garmin GPS, because I can't return my phone to none, I bought it on Ebay, in my country there's no HTC vendors, etc, etc. In short, buying a simple GPS was cheapest than sending the phone to another country and, beside that, my phone was a little "touched":D.

This past saturday I decided to try one more thing, I use to flash roms on my phone on a daily basis and did this before for GPS testing purposes, and then I found this rom: "Stock 2.50.405.2" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1155634 Flashed it and the magic happened, the GPS is locked within seconds, less than a minute the first time and now less than 30 seconds and sometimes in 5 secs. :D:confused:

This was my experience, the GPS is working now. If this is useful for someone, try it, flash this rom, there's nothing to loose.

Does this ROM work well my friend?
[Desire HD General] ferluci:
Yes, it's working good for now, I'm testing it and no problems so far.:)
[Desire HD General] Weasel-cz:
Good for you :) For me the GPS stopped working after this patch :D
[Desire HD General] balinh_bs:
thanks for information
[Desire HD General] ViousAD:
I'm just curious, how many fix(s) did you get, and in how many seconds did you get them before and after the ROM?

I had a similar problem a while back, blowing compressed air onto the antenna seemed to fix it.
[Desire HD General] JurieDHD:
Good to know! Thanx!

I use miui freshly squeezed edition. With the agps patch 2.2 I get 7-10 satellites from inside within 20 seconds, and outside of I open Google maps it locks on in 2 seconds.
[Desire HD General] blueazure:
the gps fix in the DHD is s/w issue,,

it can be fixed by cleaning two partitions on the system memory and 're-flashing' the .conf file for gps,,,, i was previously using ARHD 6.1.2 and after doing the above , i got solid 7,8 satellites and fix in < 5 seconds,,,

last week i flashed rcmix3d and the settings were deleted,,, have been busy at work so cant seem to find the xda thread that explained the process,,, will post as soon as i dig the link,,,, the process is guaranteed to work,

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

on another note, the gps DOES work fine on stock rom's as stated by the thread starter,,,

problems start when u flash other roms

After intalling the InsertCoin CM7 with Sense2.1+3.0 GB, and rebooting my htc desire i got stuck in the Home Screen, without any icons and the touchscreen was not working at all!!

Before that i had one Rom for 8 months and with this change i cannot have access to my mobile.

Now i just want to go back to stock to start the proccess over.

Does anyone can help me??? Please!!!

Can you turn phone off? If not take out the battery and reboot into recovery and restore nandroid backup if you made one. No need to revert to stock you can just go back to your previous good ROM.

Well... When I go to the recovery mode i got a red triangle... and cannot install any zip file, just update.zip.

try unrooting with RUU
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abisconsin:
Where I can find these RUU to unroot my phone?

And how I choose the right RUU to use?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo All* RUU's available are here, you should match the RUU as best you can to your network or region. If your phone is unbranded try the latest WWE RUU.

*I think

EDIT: didn't see any Orange RUU's there (Just OTA updates). I'm not really the biggest expert/ fan of unrooting/ using RUU's. Lol someone else get in on this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abisconsin:
Yep! You are right there's no Orange RUU.

And I tried those RUU:

- RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed

- RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865

- RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684

- RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704

- RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_FR_1.21.163.2_Radio_32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2_release_126985_signed

Until now none of them has worked. I got always the same Error 131, costumer ID error.

I also tried the OTA_Bravo_Orange_CH-FR_2.22.71.2-1.19.72.3_P_release8xcr7nx2a68060l7, rename the file to update.zip and install in recovery mode, but it didn't work.

I will keep trying those RUU... But it doesn't seems to work...

What else can i do??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
emm.. you could try extracting the rom.zip and renaming it to PB99IMG.zip and placing it in the root of your sdcard.. but I'd get some more advice first, unrooting & using RUUs isn't exactly my specialty.

Get the latest WWE RUU (you'll need to find out which one this is I don't know)

To get the rom.zip (would post the guide but I can't find it)

1. run the RUU and don't click next, just leave it on the first screen (put it to the side somewhere since it's always on top and will get annoying).

2. Go to start and click "run", or press the windows key and "R". In the dialog box type in "%temp%" (without quote).

3. sort using date (if you hit the little down arror, and select "Today" it makes your job a lot easier), and one of the temp folders will contain all the android stuff, and the file you are looking for is called rom.zip

4. grab the file and put it somewhere where you can remember, rename to PB99IMG.zip (make sure you don't name it PB99IMG.zip.zip since windows does that sometimes for some reason)

5. Put in the root of your sdcard, and boot into bootloader. You will be prompted to install.

But again before you do this get someone elses opinion on this. I don't want to be responsible if something goes wrong.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abisconsin:
Thanks for helping bortak!

In the end, i just found my Goldcard, put it in my mobile and used the last WWE RUU.

And everything is fine now!

Thanks again man!

I have a question, I use the Bootloader unlock and install the android 2.3.4 with PUDDING, now I want to know if it is safe to do android 2.2 and them get the official update.

because i read that many users had trouble updating.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i dont fully understand, but i keep reading that once you unlock bootloader and then move to 2.3.4, do not downgrade else it will hard brick. now maybe that means dont downgrade with a certain moto sbf type of rom, but i dont fully understand that. i would not attempt any downgrade personally.
[Legend General] RaverWild:
There is something I don't understand.

So I am new to smartphones, have a Legend. Recently upgraded to Android 2.2. When I create a new contact on the phone and I enter his phone number, since I've upgraded it shows on the virtual keyboard also the letters "P" and "W" along with the numbers, so I can enter a phone number containing "P" and "W".

I was looking for some online help, but could not find one. What are "P" and "W" for?

I was thinking that probably this has something to do with modern phone answering menus and could be like "pause" and "wait" so entering "123w456" would produse "dial 123, then wait a bit and dial 456" where "456" could be extension. No idea - this is the first thing that came to my mind. Don't think of actual phone target I can dial it and try it with.

Does anyone know? I just read the Desire HD manual hoping it could answer, since I remember it has newer Android on it.

Help anyone?

Thanks :confused:
[Legend General] alienyd:
from what I know, one is for Pause and the other for Wait.

Function:

- Pause: wait for user to interact (press button)

- Wait: giving a short pause, then continue with string

That's what I think it is, maybe it is actually the other way around between P and W. :)
[Legend General] klisanor:
on my HTC Desire dialpad

W means "wait for user to interact (press button)"

P means "giving a short pause, then continue with string"

So I need to press button using "w"

PS: I use it dialling my IP-telephony provider from my cell.

Just typing +XXXXXXXpYYYYYYY

where XXXXXXX is pool number of IP-tel provider and YYYYYYY - the number I'm calling
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichiban Rei:
Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with notifications going silent on CM7?

I searched and found a couple of threads about the issue, but no fix or workaround was mentioned.

I had the problem before on my EVO as well, so I wonder if it's an app I'm installing. The only constant between the 2 phones was CM7. I have tried updating to the nightlies and it still occurs.

Basically, I boot up my phone. Get a message or email notification and all is working well. I then go about my day and notice I have a few more messages but no sound was made. Now notifications will remain silent until I reboot once more, and the cycle starts all over again. Sometimes they work longer, sometimes I get 1 notification and all others are silent again.

What I've tried:

I tried messing with a profile to see if that was causing issues. No go...

I have tried switching to Oxygen which worked great but I had to switch back to CM7 because MMS did not work for me at all on that rom. MIUI also worked well but I have some contacts I like sending directly to VM and their DND did not allow that, just silent ring and answer/hangup, so back I go to CM...

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks so much!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imekul:
I did notice the same thing on my Nexus S 4G! I was running CM7, as well. And a reboot seemed to fix it.

Never solved what caused it, but it didn't happen often enough to where it was a big concern of mine.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichiban Rei:
Yea a reboot fixes it for me too, but then it will happen again. I wonder why that is. Maybe it's something I'm doing?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisyou:
Did you guys ever find a solution for this aside from rebooting? This has happened to my samsung infuse (running on infused 1.5) a few times already and it is pretty frustrating. I believe it's happened a few times on the stock rom as well. I've tried uninstalling programs one by one to see if I can find the culprit, but no dice. It just doesn't happen consistently enough for me to pinpoint the app or problem. Thanks in advance!

Hi All, doclenny here, I'm new to the site and have rooted an AT&T Aria Android. I was looking at the different roms and the one that I think I need is R008 to allow apps to sd function. My questions are: Is this an appropriate rom? Where and how do I download it? I've looked around the site and can't seem to find a space to download other signed.zip files other than the R012 with a link. I've already installed the R012 but this doesn't seem to allow for app to sd with the 2.1 version and I'd really like to maintain the rooted phone. Thanks In Advance for Your Help!:)

Not trying to be a kill-joy, but did anyone notice in the AlphaRev video, how the video went completely black between showing S-ON, S-OFF, and S-OFF AlphaRev? I'm just saying could it be possible that they just paused and swapped out an S-ON pyramid for an S-OFF, then ran AlphaRev on the S-OFF pyramid to get it AlphaRev S-OFF?
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
They are a higly reputable team. I think their reputation and fanbase means more to them than just getting the glory of S-off.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
They are beta testing it. Give it a rest already.

It will be out when it will be out.
[HTC Sensation] karnovaran:
It's from his camera adjusting to the light from the phone. It's not fake.
[HTC Sensation] BlackElvis79:
I understand, but getting S-OFF would be a major notch in the belt. That video shut down at least one other team working on it. All I'm asking is could that have been the desired effect?
[HTC Sensation] BlackElvis79:
Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] bilbo6209:
alpharev has a very stong reputation behind them so I highly doubt they would put out a fake video.

In my opnion, and due to my line of work, the video changing from black background to light back ground is 100% caused by the apature of the camera adjusting to the amount of light coming from the screen and not fake.

If alpharev put this video out to stop other devs from working on s-off or to grab the glory of getting s-off.... first off if Alpharev doesnt produce pretty soon other devs will pick it back up in a heartbeat, and second... If alpharev pulled a stunt claiming to have S-OFF and didnt actually have it, I would think their devs would get black listed on EVERY andoid dev forum.
[HTC Sensation] The Great Dane:
Relax dude, if it's fake then AlphRevX will loose their good reputation and will be out a business real fast, don't think that they would make such a stupid thing.

My faith in HTC in the other hand is blown away, they are really acting like they have no feeling with their costumers any longer.
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
You know what? That was actually what I was thinking before also. That maybe they wanted to just say they did to stop others from working on it. The "leaked" video kinda further promoted my beliefs because as they are very secretive about their work (as they should be, exploits are a very serious matter), i couldn't imagine someone uploading a video to youtube and not expecting anyone to see it. If they wanted to make a video for their own purposes to document it then they would have uploaded it somewhere else, not youtube. But then I did my research and looked at their unwavering fan base and their previous work. While i do doubt that the vid "leaked" I know they have s-off because I believe in their talents and respect their craft after seeing what they could do. They are perfecting thier programs as they have done in the past. Would be no fun if they'd release they tool and have that overshadowed by people complaining about bricked devices. if they didn't their future work would be devalued, No dev wants that over their head. Even though they don't owe us s-off in any sense, I do believe they do kinda owe us a tested program if they are going to make the tool public. Just apart of the moral code.
[HTC Sensation] The Great Dane:
Hey pls. Watch sammydr10 thread just released and alpharev own channel
[HTC Sensation] Verbal Assassin:
I'm just glad S-OFF Soon, TBH I think the break in the camera should have been re shot to ensure that it wasnt a swap out. Plus, I think many others think Alpharevx bluffed to stop other teams or had another motive. Don't get me wrong im no knocking anyone. Although, Hype is Hype and a sales pitch that seemed to knock freedom out of the game for a week or so... I dont know anymore or trust much of anyones word these days.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it sure and the **** aint S-OFF.

thats not beta testing. theres a difference between beta and alpha test. didn't you know that? saying stuff but not knowing what it truly means. or is that what they told you?

alpha testing - testing within dev circle

beta testing - a testing done outside dev circle (public)

question is, outside the dev space, is it still private? lol. that even answers the video leak thinggy. now that is really private! right? haha

[HTC Sensation] BlackElvis79:
I see some valid points, but if you've ever flashed anything via fastboot then you kinda have an idea what to look for. There was none of the check IMG, and update image thing going on. OK so maybe they ran fastboot from CMD, but if that were the case then what about the little vertical status bar that comes up in the top right-hand corner while whatever image you're flashing is being flashed? I'm just saying, the whole thing was kinda vague.
[HTC Sensation] vitusdoom:
Lol. what are the other roles for them in their team asside from devs? haha. you really are horse rubbish :p
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
Speculation of something of which no one knows anything about is as useful as tit on the back of your head.

The only thing I would request from alpha Is an update, I know that its frowned upon to ask for release dates but I'm not asking for that, just a heads up as to how its going, I expect HTC to be vague as hell but i dont expect that from devs.

I think in this instance that an update wouldn't be too much trouble, this unlocking tool is going to set free all of our phones, its something to be proud of and I think taking their time is a wise move, to make sure they get it right.

But let us know how it's going please? That's all I ask.

Don't need to know a timeline, just hows it going?

Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] Verbal Assassin:
Well first off I understand they are busy but here lies a problem.

If a movie start tells their fan base to f off - I wonder how well they will do later on in their career?

I see Alphrevx not talking to anyone at all. Unless it is to respond to trolls on the forums. What gives?
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
That is very true, I did not see the check for an image. whether the ran a flash from fastboot is unknown. Maybe they found a bug only accessible from hboot. Either way, a check on the sd card occurs everytime you boot into bootloader and that was mysteriously not present in the video. The reason for this I do not know.
[HTC Sensation] vitusdoom:
either it is "I don't have something im gonna avoid you" or "Im just shy dont talk to me" haha
