[HTC Inspire 4G] hilltop804:
I have an inspire running coredroid v8.1 and I cannot get a gps lock at all, even if I let it sit outside for 10 minutes...

I have reflashed the rom several times, and even tried the newest versions of virtuosity and cm

I have followed the video to pull the phone apart and I'm positive the gold pins are making connection

I have tried angel death's patch

I have ran gps status and cleared and re-downloaded in a-gps settings, ran gps test, and ran faster fix

I have tried the trick where you pull the sim out and get a lock (I still get no lock even with no sim)

I've looked everywhere and tried to do all the research before posting a new thread, but I just can't find anything else and I don't know what my problem is...

any insight would be greatly appreciated

EDIT: Also thought I should include that I have flashed radios 12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M, 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2, and 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M with none making a difference
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Sorry to tell you but you might just have a bad thing piece of harware. I started a thread a little while ago called "GPS Last Resort". I tried everything... And I mean Everything! I was told that there were "known" hardware issues with the Inspire. So I un-rooted and returned to a "stock" state and went through the PITA process of getting a replacement.

Once I got my replacement, it was a night and day difference. My new one locks in less than 15 seconds with 5-4 meters accuracy.

Don't drive yourself crazy. If it is still under warranty, get it replaced.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hilltop804:
did your phone have any other signs of being defective or was it just the gps? I mean, the phone is great except for this! No boot loops, force closes, glitches, or anything...

Also, if it's just the antenna, could I buy an inspire with like a broke screen or something off ebay and just switch them out? Do you think that's a viable option?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this...

You may not even need to replace the antenna at all. When you pop off the cover for the LED camera flash (this is also your gps antenna) there are two little spring like clips that are the contacts for the antenna. If those contacts are not making a good connection - your phone will just keep searching for signal. If you are brave enough - you can pop out the antenna and carefully bend out those contact clips in order to make a better connection.

I was hesitant to do this myself - and sense the phone was still under warranty, I got a replacement.

Sorry again for the delay - hope that helps if you have not already found an answer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Yea be careful with this. I decided I'd go ahead and pop off the camera cover to readjust my gps antennae contacts and ended up breaking the cover. ~2cm crack just under the flash, which raises up the cover enough that the contacts won't make contact at all unless I'm applying pressure that only Thor could exert on the cover.

side note - 2 weeks after I did this my screen shattered.

Haven't been having much luck lately..
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Ouch!

That is pretty much why I decided to go for doing the warranty replacement ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] eryk4381:
I did the warranty after trying to remove the gps antenna because it still didnt work after i did that. The sent it back working !!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ethion:
I've been looking for an app that would let me manage the 4g/3g issue. I really don't want to manually have to toggle between the two modes. What I'd like is to have the phone automatically downgrade to 3g for background network stuff. But when I run the browser automatically kick up to 4g.

Are there any apps that work like this?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Berzerker7:
Try Tasker. It's a little expensive, but it can do what you want.

So im a custom 2.2.1 rom. I found the apk for the xoom launcher but it fails to install. "parsing package failed". From what I understand the reason is because my system version. I edited the build prop to show that I'm on 3.0 but it saw passed my trickery. Does any one know a way to install it. or possibly have a ported version?
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
You cant do that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] c2thej:
bummer. I've tried out the honey comb 3.0 launcher thats out for 2.x phones. The only complaint is that the multitasking button doesn't do what it is meant to.instead of bring up the window view of running apps it just brings up a menu. Do you know of any task switchers besides itchy thumb that has a windowed view of running apps?
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
try adw or launcher pro
[Verizon Droid Charge] c2thej:
Do they have a windowed style task manager?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exnihilo:
I'm traveling abroad, and have been for the last several months. Before I left the US, I had updated to EB01 Froyo, with a Voodoo kernel, and added a few mods and a custom theme.

Since I've been out of the loop so long, and now that more stable versions of TW Gingerbread, AOSP, and CyanogenMod have been produced, I'd like to bring my device up to date. However, as I'm traveling without a personal computer, my priority is stability, not the "newest" leak or ROM.

I'm also in a unique situation, because, as I am abroad (Southeast Asia), I have suspended my VZW service, and do not need Voice, SMS, MMS, Data/3G (or wifi tethering for that matter). In fact, I want to keep these features disabled as much as possible (except for assisting AGPS if necessary). I just want a fast, stable, (feature-rich), WIFI-only phone (VOIP), with ability to use my apps. [I recognize that using a full-featured VZW ROM and using Airplane Mode and disabling Data accomplishes my need to remain disconnected from towers, so it's not necessary to point that out - I'm just offering this info to clarify my situation]

Essential features: working wifi, quick and accurate GPS (without using towers if possible, to avoid potential data charges, unless this isn't an issue), camera, Adobe Flash (I know this has been available since Froyo leaks), and ability to use VOIP (I'm currently using Skype, and when I can get it working, GrooVe IP). Working bluetooth functionality would also be helpful for VOIP (oddly it's not working on my device as currently set up- it won't even enable). Oh, and I have a secondary battery from the SGS Captivate that I want to continue to be able to use as a backup battery.

I'd like to have the quickest device possible, while still maintaining the more important stability, as I will not be able to update the device but very rarely.

I appreciate any insights and suggestions anyone may be able to offer. I know my situation is quite unique, but I'd imagine I'm not the only one wishing to use this great hardware "off-VZW."

Another complication is that most of the Internet Cafes around here do not allow installing software, such as the Samsung USB drivers, or required SDKs. But hopefully I can find a cafe with computers that do allow this, though that may mean it's more vulnerable. Any thoughts on this is appreciated as well.

Thanks again!

Cause in my experience - there is NEVER any guides provided by the CM7 team. In every phone sections that you look at - there is always a separate thread for guides and fixes.

Plus all the questions that are answered in this thread are asked over 15329852 times in the ROM thread, and its probably good to have them all in one place, instead of people having to read through hundreds (soon to be Thousands) of pages... :)

Any info on a fix it workaround for calls disconnecting when putting phone against your ear, I.e. when proximity sensor kicks in? Mainly affecting uk users.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
They might, but that doesn't really stop the billion questions asked all the time, so that makes me think that people are not going to the wiki, they are looking for answers up in this forum.
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
Just a little anecdotal support-- when I rooted my first Android device (Nexus One, if it matters) I started off in a Guide thread in the Development section. Of course, I did finally end up at the CM Wiki, which I don't think it could hurt to link to eventually.

However, the extra bits at the end about flashing the latest GTalk and workarounds for common bugs in the Alpha version are things that I don't think would necessarily make it to their official Wiki. I think the scope of this thread is perfectly helpful
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
Very useful guide.

what is the recommended radio for cm7? I searched the cm7 thread and read the question asked several times but no clear cut answer. Might be helpful to add that info for people like me :D

Also, on reboot I lose network connectivity and have had to flash twice already...full wipe both times. I think it might be radio related.

Maybe go ahead and try Faux kernel, and see if its gonna keep FC after that...

I am using 10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15

Seems to be working for me... Added it to the GUIDE and linked to the thread where it can be found, and also that other thread has instructions on how to install it :D

I installed the file using es file explorer. Set it to root enabled and to mount the system as read write and then copy file to system/lib
[HTC Sensation] akos.szekacs:
It could be caused by various things, but if I had to guess, I would say, that you are using the 3.24 firmware which is just not working with the GB based roms.

If its not the problem, please provide more details

EDIT

Oh, somebody already answered it :), but still, we don't know if it has worked out for you.
[HTC Sensation] phantomblu:
What firmware should I use to restore back to CM7? I updated mine to the one required by Virtuous Inquisition.
[HTC Sensation] akos.szekacs:
3.12 or lower should work just fine, but if you want to make sure that everything is working as it should, you should flash the radio recommended in the OP or in the CM7 thread's OP (cant remember now the exact version, so you should just check it)
[HTC Sensation] phantomblu:
I'm having a bunch of trouble downgrading back to CM7. Here's the scenario:

I upgraded to Virtuous Inquisition. I flashed their firmware so my hboot changed to 1.23. Still not quite sure if firmware and hboot version is the same thing.

I downgraded hboot back to 1.17 and installed CM7 again. However, the phone continuously restarts at the HTC logo.

I don't know what my current firmware and radios are. I have no idea how to find out either.
[HTC Sensation] Zico 10:
You don't need to know, you just need to downgrade to the 3.12 firmware or lower and the bootloop should cease.
[HTC Sensation] micahman:
I know this has prob been asked a million times but what kernel is everyone seeing the best battery life with? I have used bricked and it drained like crazy so I switched to faux and it's a bit better but still not great. I get about 7-8 hours with only moderate usage.
[HTC Sensation] phantomblu:
I was already at 3.12 when I downgraded the hboot and flashed to CM7. Or is there a certain order I have to do them in?
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Downgrade to 1.17 just to be safe. I did it all last night. Only issue I ran into was instant-shutoffs very frequently. Pulled the battery once and all is good.

Flash Hboot 1.x

Remove Hboot from SD card

Reboot to recovery from bootloader

Wipe System, Data or use Super Wipe

Install Rom

Install Google Apps

Mission Accomplished, return to base.

About these 2 -

The first one is the one made by tripinraver. It was awesome, but we have 2 problems in there

1- it had issues with the sound in general - everything was just... too loud.

2- Mods dont seem to enjoy things made by him posted on this forum, they closed my other thread because I posted his ROM, so I am thinking that ill avoid putting this on here. Dont want this thread closed :D
[HTC Sensation] cenwesi:
Are you saying that with those two updates, you can get sound during phone calls through your BT?
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
Also lost 3g after the call fix. Hmmm any news to fix this?

And yeah, I wouldn't go with that fix if I like my 3G ;) Lets just wait to see what kmobs and team have cooking for us.

[HTC Sensation] sheetmetalninja:
this file fixed which issues you were having ? 3g issues?
[HTC Sensation] snwahs:
The file in the OP was supposed to fix a call disconnect issue (read page 1 for more information) While the file in the OP might have fixed the call issues all 3g/4g activity was disabled and could not be restored. The file that t0ny0 posted is only the original file that came with the device. If you didn't try the fix, you have nothing to worry about and don't need it.

[HTC Sensation] snwahs:
Plenty of feedback in the Rom thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1258543 YMMV
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Its pretty good. But it all depends on what you are looking for in a ROM.

If its the eye candy - go for Sense or MIUI. They made things that look pretty, and are good for the average Joe.

If its the functionality - go for CyanogenMod - its by far the best thing that has ever happened to Android phones. It looks simple, but there is a huge beast that is hidden behind the scenes. Just like the Google frontpage. Looks simple, but view the source and you will find out that its far from that :D

This specific ROM is a lot faster than anything that I have used on our beloved Sensations.

The problem is that so far - its working out best for T-mobile US phones. All the other ones seem to have some small issues.

So try it, and decide for yourself! :D

I think you might like it!

Suggested addition to the guide - Solution for broken GPS with no GPS icon.

Flash a Sense ROM and let the GPS Status app from Android Market get a lock on satellites. While the app is still running, reboot straight to recovery and restore a nandroid backup of CM7.
