This also works...

I (of course) had the same trouble, with TomTom having a lag of about 150 meters or it not being able to keep sattelite connections alive at all.

Just by pure coincidence I came across an app called "Flitsnav" which updates on mobile radars using your inet connection, tracks your position using GPS, and shows the locations in TomTom using the regular radar icon (for fixed radars) (and thus runs in the background).

This app will only show Dutch mobile radars unfortunately, but ever since I start Flitsnav before starting TomTom, TomTom works like a charm. It seems as if Flitsnav keeps the GPS connection alive, enabling TomTom to function correctly. :)
[Touch HD General] tom_hungston:
the problem is now sorted. I have selected NMEA wired gps. with baud rate to maximum (something like 115489). and select COM4,

Also disable A-GPS(assisted GPS) and it works a treat.

Enjoy!!!!!
[Touch HD General] simokya:
FIXED! :)

Also had the same problem.

TOMTOM 7.910.9185

Managed to get it working. :)

Found out the A-GPS (Assisted GPS) seems to cause it problems. :mad:

With this enabled it connects and disconnects. In various screens in TOMTOM it reports that there is no GPS but in main GPS screen you will see it polls for the satelites.

Using HD Tweak wa able to disable the Assisted GPS option (Option 18.5)

As default this is supposedly off but as I have found out after several reboots it once in a while switches back on.

tom_hungston reported this fix earlier in this post and it does work even on internal. If you keep getting the problem use HD Tweak (again and again) and disable - all should be fine. :)
[Touch HD General] tom_hungston:
you don't need HD Tweak to enable / disable A-GPS(assisted gps) functionality.

You can enable/disable by going to start menu-> system -> setting tab-> then click on A-GPS and enable or disable it there.

It should work without any problem however if you still have problem I'd suggest

you to do a soft reset using HD Tweak or remove back cover and press small

red button to soft reset your touch HD.

Hope this helps.

Have fun.
[Touch HD General] :
there is no "A-GPS" icon when I go to the Settings/System-Tab. I only have the manager for automatic download of A-GPS data - called QuickGPS - in the programs-dir.
[Touch HD General] MrRalphMan:
I had the same issue, first time I run TT (7.4 something or other) it worked fine. Second time it kept dropping out every second or two.

Colleague suggested I disable A-GPS and it works perfectly since..

This is a HD on the O2 network.
[Touch HD General] Silentd:
Same Problem o2 ntwork with blackstone
[Touch HD General] John Boy:
Switching AGPS off fixed this issue for me. (In the settings page)

Strangely, this is my second Touch HD as my first has a fault, but the first didn't have this issue at all. I don't think it had AGPS, but had the QuickGPS..!

(On Orange)
[Touch HD General] GandalfGraa:
Buying TomTom 7 maps - but are they operator locked?

I had the same problem, and I actually wrote to TomTom to get the surprising answer that the SW version 7 was needed, but not yet for sale. However they advised me to find it on the Internet!!! So I did.

Now I have the software installed and it works perfectly, but how can I buy the maps? If you go to their map shop and select Navigator 7 they ask you to select your device. I guess both HTC Touch diamond and pro will work, but what frightens me is the mentioning of operators (Swisscom and Vodafone).

Has anyone tried these official maps? Will they work even if you are not on one of the two networks? Or is there a way to download a new map directly from the Navigator application?
[Touch HD General] rookie_aus:
Same problem here with TomTom 7.915...:( but after following your suggestions, my GPS pick up 5 to 6 satellites straight away... and this is the case even in my room with just the windows open. :)

I'll continue to monitor...

GPS troubles on HD

When problem present, quickgps shows: data valid 6days++.

Try to download data with quickgps, problem disapears. But for a 2-4 hours.

After 2 wheeks of sadomazo, i have to say some words. Main problem is : QUICKGPS software from HTC.

1. Disable A-GPS, possible not supported by your operator. (shaps adv.config,sktools,regedit...)

2. use taskmanager from fdcsoft, it offers regedit. Delete HKCU\software\htc\bootlauncher\services\QuickGPS (you can save QuickGPS section for some reason easy).

3. use tuned "GPS intermediate driver.reg" from zip file.

Reboot device.

Now GPS fix is stable, but 20 second longer. I prefer to stat navigation software and drive, but no headaches with GPS for 10 minutes everyday.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peeyur:
Hi! I'm sorry that I have to post this, and this is an incredibly stupid problem. But I disabled OEM Unlock on a rooted device with a custom bootloader...

So I was trying to see if all the developer settings were right and I just made quite the oopsie. I don't know how to fix this. I've got a Samsung SM-T580 that I rooted a couple of years ago and it's still rocking Android 8.1.

How do I fix this? How do I enable OEM Unlock? I'm perfectly fine with formatting the device and losing data, because there's not much to lose. I was planning on trying to get Android 10 on my tablet anyways because the WIFI keeps randomly disconnecting. (Android 8.1 bug)

Thanks in advance!

PS: The bold text acts as a summary.

Edit: FIX:

To fix this issue you just need to download the firmware for your device and your region.

Then you just need to download Odin and unpack both the Odin and firmware .zip files.

Watch this video it really helps:

Do Not use the firmware download link provided in the video, because that site is just a waste of time!

Use this site for firmware download: https://sfirmware.com/

Hope this helps anyone!

Good day, and thanks for the response! I'm really new here, I just made an account here just for this problem lol.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Leonardo Renzi:
Good morning,

I am currently struggling even trying to diagnose what the issue is. About 2 weeks ago my OnePlus 6 (last released Android update, stock ROM, rooted) has started randomly powering off and rebooting; it only happened sporadically and didn't cause any major problems whatsoever, until a few days ago, when it started freezing and rebooting while (obviously) not under load. The first problems appeared: sometimes when it happened the device wouldn't recognise my SIM card, and sometimes upon restarting the airplane mode was on. It was frustrating to experience but still could use my phone after a few random reboots. Then the problem got worse and the Wi-Fi icon would grey out from time to time, or the Wi-Fi would simply not turn on. Left with no Internet connection (couldn't 'fix' it manually restarting the phone a couple times as I was previously able to) I decided to make a backup and tried to wipe everything, the problem still appeared and I was not able to continue. During the struggle I wiped my phone's cache but it didn't get any better nor did it stop the phone from reeboting over again, sometimes the phone would work for hours (thankfully allowing me to take a backup), sometimes it freezed right upon reaching the unlock screen. Once it started working again by simply removing the case, then the problem came back (probably a coincidence?), do you think it could be a hardware issue? I haven't found anything specific on what has happed to me on the Internet, I am hoping you kind sirs have some knowledge or experience on this exact problem that you can share with me...

Thanks in advance :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] shiva-x:
Hi!

Have you tried to flash another ROM? Like LineageOS or Pixel experience?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Noobie the Ninja:
If I am reading correctly, you didn't get a backup of the phone prior to the issue occuring, is that correct? If so then doing a restore is, most likely, not going to help as you are simply restoring the same issue back into the partitions. When I wiped out my IMEI I had a known good backup, but on a crappy SD card. This corrupted the backup, which in turn corrupted the partition that was restored from said backup. This caused the issue to persist over many restores and resets. Are you able to get a copy of your stock ROM that the phone began with, not the current update? This is the best source of untainted partition data. That is how I was able to fix my corrupted EFS partitions. This may not be the exact scenario for your particular situation, but to me it sounds software related. Hardware issues tend to be very consistent, whereas software issues are inconsistent at the best of times. Also is there anything particular that you noticed that would always make the problem occur?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Leonardo Renzi:
I thought about that so I didn't restore my backup, I just took the backup and after the ROM was wiped the issues persisted (only reason I took a backup was for the photos, I wouldn't have restored everything that might have been corrupted).

Also I didn't notice anything particular, the problem would occur randomly, at first it seemed it was the SIM card, I removed it and it fixed it, then it came back, it was the Wi-Fi and if the phone managed to restart correctly the Wi-Fi would not turn on if tapped (also sometimes the airplane mode was on upon restarting, which of course I didn't switch on prior to reboot), then the problem seemed the case, upon removing the phone came back to life but with the same connectivity issues...

In general I can tell you I haven't found precise and reliable behaviours that led to freezing and rebooting, the problem only got worse and worse.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Leonardo Renzi:
I was waiting for a reply before trying to flash another ROM, as I wait I might as well give that one a try...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Noobie the Ninja:
Yes trying another ROM is not a bad idea. And lineage OS is a great ROM. HoweverI noticed with my phone I had issues that were unique to the phone only when I was using custom ROMs, as most custom ROMs are not built for my phone, I use a Moto g7 Plus. You of course using the OnePlus 6 are more likely to find a ROM that was built specifically for your phone. However, did you try to flash it back to the stock ROM? Or is that what you were referring to when you said you took the back up after it was wiped? Also just a thought but a lot of the custom ROMs are very, well customised heavy, this can lead to making narrowing down the root cause of the problem even more difficult. If you were going to flash a custom ROM, I would look towards something more on the later end of the feature heavy ROMs. If only just to remove some functions and see if the problem still persists, if it does well then you have less functions to go over as possibles.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Leonardo Renzi:
I haven't managed to reflash the original ROM, I just wiped out everything, so I guess now I will begin with trying the original ROM (via reflashing) before flashing a custom one.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Noobie the Ninja:
It will definitely eliminate any issues that were due to customization. Also if the OnePlus has any software similar to RSA, which is the recovery and software assistant for Motorola phones, that you can use to refresh the stock ROM with it would be a good idea to start with that and then if that doesn't seem to function probably try flashing it with something like TWRP.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Leonardo Renzi:
I tried to ADB sideload the original ROM and at 47% it said:

adb: failed to read command: No error

TWRP, on the other hand, stated 'Successful'

If I boot nothing has changed...

Edit: only thing changed is that it overwrote the recovery and now TWRP is gone
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Noobie the Ninja:
For starters, I have also noticed the 47% thing when flashing ROMs, both the original and some of the custom ones did this as well. However, that was always completed with a success message. One thing that is possible is that your stock ROM doesn't recognize TWRP, or the other way around, as using the correct procedure during flash. Do you have the .img file for your stock ROM? Also, I found more than one of the custom ROMs I tried would not boot properly, or at all even, unless I rebooted to recovery upon Comp of the initial flash. Without flashing, or reflashing TWRP, try to flash the ROM again, reboot to recovery, then reboot to the system from there. This allows the a\b system to cycle through to allow for the partitions to completely update with the new information. Only after a successful system first boot should you use fastboot to reinstall TWRP.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Noobie the Ninja:
Hello sorry about the delay in the response. Speak to my phone and hopefully it types the right things. I do know about the Google apps or g apps if you will causing the needs more space issue if you downloaded anything other than the nano your system partition tends to have not enough space whether it actually does or not I had over a gigs worth of space on my system partition when I installed g ups once the GF file itself was only 300 megs yet because it wasn't the smaller version if you will it fail to install try downloading the micro or nano versions of the G apps and install that. Spilling things out correctly I do apologize for the terrible misspellings however I do not have time to edit with the old fashioned keyboard if I am unclearing anything please ask me and I will try to clarify
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Leonardo Renzi:
As mentioned in the edits I eventually managed to install the pico GApps file, but now the problem is the SIM still doesn't get recognized, the Wi-Fi won't turn on and the system crashes are back, this time accompanied by the QUALCOMM CrashDump Mode (no message, it just freezes, the OS crashes and the CrashDump mode appears).

Don't worry abouut your response time, you're the only one replying afterall.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Noobie the Ninja:
I understand if you do not want to communicate privately so I will ask this and determine how to proceed. Is any of the information (ie. The numbers that are missing from the phone information menu) protected by laws that, whether by accident or on purpose, if changed can cause you to have any legal trouble? I ask this very serious question because I would like to help you but not at the risk of you getting in trouble. If you cannot say just simply thank me for my time and I will recommend you get a new device. I just recently fixed this very complex issue with my phone and it was incredibly difficult to get any information on the subject, so I know how sending it is. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Noobie the Ninja:
Well, I am not sure if you will read this but here's what has most likely happened to your device; the partition system that android devices employ is comprised of dozens of different partitions that all have a unique role to play. Boot, system, a few data(user files being one), vendor, oem, and so on. Most have two now for the A/B devices. This is so that updates can take place while the system is operating without having to unmount the partitions. There is a pair of partitions labeled EFS or "modema" & "modemb" these partitions contain, among other critical data, the IMEI or at least the function used to write the software copy of it. This is when the phone reads the firmware, or burned in, IMEI and passes it to the OS. The problem that happened, as did in my case, is that if those partitions become corrupted then they fail to pass the correct information to the OS. This means that the system no longer is getting an IMEI number assigned at boot like normal. As it is pertinent to have not only a valid, but matching IMEI to access cell service you will have no service at all without an IMEI. This can easily be confirmed by booting to the bootloader and checking the IMEI that the bootloader can see, and then booting to the system and running the code *#06# from the dialer(or the "06" variant specific to your device) and seeing how they compare. If the bootloader has the correct IMEI and the system does not, then your device is loading corrupted partitions at boot. This can be solved by getting a valid copy of the ROM that your device began with (The one it left the factory for the first time with). You must then flash the ROM to all partitions (both a and b if applicable) without rebooting until all partitions have been reset to factory standards. Once this has been done a simple reboot should be all that is necessary to get the IMEI back. In some cases a new SIM is required in order to get cell service again. If you check the bootloader, however, and it does not either have the correct IMEI or none at all, then your firmware has been damaged and will need to be replaced. This can only be done with specialized equipment and will most likely be rather expensive. Hopefully this covers the extent of this issue, and that there is no major legal issues to deal with over having changed (whether by accident or not) the IMEI number in your local area. And finally, good luck, this is more information in one place then I could ever find so I hope it helps.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iliag1989:
Solved: Had the same issue. Suddenly no SIM connection, wifi would not turn on and then reboot, after 10s-1min up, it just froze and rebooted. This continued in a loop.

Found a solution on the oneplus forums and it worked for me: press hard on the backside of the phone at different places. I guess like some connection on the motherboard was loose. After this, wifi and SIM card worked again and no more rebooting :)

hi all :)

is it possible to make use of the built-in camera mp4 (h264) encoder in a third-party app? the problem is: when i record clips using standard htc software (6.00 build 31516) it creates nice and small mp4 files but in case i want to record them with some other software utilizing the camera all i get is big asf file created with "WMVideo9 Encoder". no chance to select "mp4 encoder" :mad:.

any ideas?

Even I had the same problem I tried to see the video on real player and had no sound. Then i played the same video on VLC media player and I can hear the sound. Try the same video in different players. This is on my computer not on phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bugsykoosh:
This is a decent site to take the mp4 and convert it to a different format. You could then move it to another program and play with it (i.e. once it's an avi).

Thank you guys.

Current situation is bizarre for me. I need 2G working for voice only. My carrier is switching 3G off, and I cannot have VoLTE working (despite the corresponding option being enabled and carrier saying that it should work). Currently, when I make a phone call, the 4G data connection gets disabled and voice travels over 3G or 2G. When the phone call is over, 4G data connection gets back on. Since 3G is being switched off, if 2G suddenly became totally unavailable, I simply couldn't make phone calls anymore. :eek:

I believe you can get a number with Google Voice, and call thru the app. I haven't used it in a while tho.
