or more likely it is a shaded area. THe GPS signal is susceptible to exactly the same blocking effects as light. A wall is still a wall to GPS, its not like radio that penetrates.

Id have a good look around at what there is in the area, a large building, lots of trees, an underpass, an electrical sub station perhaps.
[HD2 General] firstandlast:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I had thought about that. However the area this blackspot covers is at least a mile square and it isn't just like one street etc. The area is uncovered and there are just normal houses etc.

Add to that the fact that the other phone pics up the signal with ease it would tend to say that it isn't a covered area.

Paul.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hmm odd one then. The only thing that i can think of is something a little further away interfering just enough to drop the signal.

(Lets not forget the leo seems to have pretty poor radios all round, , the phone signal is often reported to be lower than on other handsets in the same place, , the fm radio might as well not be there, ,)

perhaps it has a lower tolerance than your other device.

(but probably not)

Still, might be a nice chance for a spanking new one from your provider, thats always good!
[HD2 General] chrisdk:
I had a similar experience a few weeks ago, travelling through a town I don't usually travel through, suddenly there were no satellites. Then the same thing happened on the return journey. I was using iGo, when I lost the signal I switched to Google Maps and it had the same problem.
[HD2 General] Egg on Leggs:
You will get these blank spots in various places. There is also the issue of the MOD and American DOD selectively closing down areas for security and test purposes.
[HD2 General] firstandlast:
I do honestly think that it is a problem with HTC Winmo phones. My wife's HTC Desire works without any problems.

I took out my old Tytn 2 yesterday to the same area and lo and behold it lost the satellites. So it seem there is some problem with the GPS on HTC devices.

I then tried my old SPV C500 (I've got a copy of google maps and TomTom Mobile on it) I paired it up with an external gps unit and it worked perfectly through the same area.

So it is definetely not a problem with satellites being turned off etc.

Not impressed, but I guess I'll have to live with it.

Other than that I could just pair the external gps unit with my HD2 and use it that way.
[HD2 General] spamtrash:
Same experience.

Previously I've been driving in some areas using Omnia, and earlier, Asus A696.

no black.

but, when I changed phone to HD2, I can see some black spots.
[HD2 General] firstandlast:
Hello,

Just an update to this issue and a workaround for any other people having similar problems with GPS Blackspots.

I do seem to have fixed the problem and the way I did it was to flash a different ROM onto the phone.

Previously I'd been using the stock WWE_1.66.405.2 ROm off of the HTC website.

Well I was having other issues with this (phone kept getting hot and rebooting itself) and so I thought I'd give another ROM a go.

The one I used was indie's Omega XT series WWE v3.0 With Co0kie's Home Tab v1.8.5 found here

Ever since, I have had no more reboots, and the GPS blackspots I used to have are no more.

Hope this helps.

Paul.
[HD2 General] se1988:
can it be that the other gps untis also have assisted gps? because i know the HD2 struggles on that part...
[HD2 General] firstandlast:
No the machine picks up a lock very quickly everywhere else except certain places.

What used to happen was that the machine would have a lock, then when you reached a certain area (it was the same place each time) the machine would lose the lock until you left the blackspot.

Anyway, as I put in my last post. The problem is now solved. It is a ROM issue.

[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Re-download and test both of Modaco Paul's FroYo updates (the normal one and the one from the mirror). Do both give the signature error again?

If neither work, try Cyanogen 5.0.6:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/150-cyanogenmod-for-nexus-one-v506-04152010/

If not even flashing Cyanogen works, something is wrong.

Remember to try wiping too!
[Nexus One General] Markdental:
You need to flash Amon-Ra recovery image. Then run paul's update,

OR:

Seems to me like it is possible that your download is corrupted. Did you download from the google address or a mirror? Get it from google directly.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomson4:
My phone is running the latest version of Cyanogen. (also with Amon_RA's recovery image)

I got the zip, changed it to update.zip, placed it on the root of my SD card, and attempted to flash.

I get the error

"E: no signature (411 files)"

"E: Verification failed"

"installation aborted."

Do I need to go back to the stock ROM before I can apply this update?

Maybe the recovery image has to be the stock recovery image?

First thing I'm going to try is installing the version that has root preinstalled.

I'll update after.

[HD2 General] Shadowguy:
I am an upcoming hd2 consumer. I have been looking on around on the forums looking for customizations and roms. I have a few qq's. Are the slider themes able to work on the stock rom. I want a custom rom however because of the price of the phone i am a bit hesitant to take the risk. Also what are some of the most stable roms i have seen a few but all seem to have some kind of issues. Thanks for all the help and comments and answers!!!
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Hello Shadowguy, and welcome!

As for the sliders/themes....any visual tweak will work on the stock ROM, as long as its matched for the exact version of Sense you're running. In the case of the stock Tmo ROMs, you'll have Sense version 2.5.2012, so just look for that number mentioned when reading the threads about any particular item you're considering. Some will work on any 2.5.xxxx version, some will be specific down to the last 4 digits.

Now, about which ROM is best...my sig has all the advice I can give on that ;)

I had this problem with my corporate email. Worked around it by going into the email app to set it up. Once you enter your email address and password, the "manual setup" option is available, and you can enter all of your settings. It still demonstrates an issue with auto-discovery for exchange though. Or perhaps my company, and your school, just use unconventional exchange server settings.

Hello,

Titanium backup is acting up for me. After upgrading to 2.2 and restoring my backup using TB my apps wouldn't show in the downloads tab in the market, fortunately a reboot fixed that problem but then after downloading flash 10.1 I went to update my backups and after it was done I noticed that only the data was saved. All of my backups and market links disappeared for some strange reason. I tried rebooting and uninstalling/reinstalling but nothing worked. I even deleted the titanium folder on my sd card and installed a backed up copy of TB to see if there was any change but the problem still persists. I even unchecked flash when doing the new backup but all it saves is the data. Could be related to the new market? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Are you disabling by long pressing a text field, and choosing input method? Try that. Change to android keyboard, let the stock keyboard load, then repeat, changing back to swype. I have to do that on each boot.

For what it's worth, I'm running an authorized version of swype downloaded directly through their installer. That may play a role in it as well.

Hi

I wanna buy HTC Desire.

It's powerful device and it comes with android.

But I heard that I can't install downloaded softwares into SD Card.

Is that right?

Thanks
[Desire General] 554321:
That is correct.

You cannot install applications in your SD on the current version of Android 2.1

however, you can install applications on your SD card in Android 2.2 which is

now available on the Nexus one as of today.

You can either get your hTC Desire, root it and get android 2.2 without Sense User Interface,

or you can get a Nexus one and install Android 2.2 on it.

i would suggest rooting Desire, or waiting for an official Android 2.2 release for Desire

because it is better in than Nexus, as it has some issues with battery life and multi-touch etc.
