You guys are doing something wrong. I'm in Australia and Locations works fine without data connection after having downloaded the maps. It just takes some time to get fix (some 2 minutes) if it was a long time since I last got one. I can get directions fine without any data connection as well.
[Desire HD General] ndudman8:
I'm also having problems with gps, worked fine when.I got the phone but now after I think the third ota update it just keeps searching if I only have gps switched on and not wireless networks. With wireless networks one (with or without gps, dosnt make any difference) I'm consistentlyplaced 2km away and it dosnt.improve the accuracy with time.

So I'm thinking that the updates have messed it up? Did email HTC support but nothing yet from that.
[Desire HD General] xazac:
I'm always unable to get GPS fix, even if I'm in an open space. I used an app called "GPS Status", I was connected to 7/8 GPS satellite, but I wasn't able to get my position (in Maps, Locations, Latitude and Nav). How is that possible?
[Desire HD General] Spaky:
So you're not able to use navigation stuff? I'm still waiting to get mine, no availability here in Milan, but for me GPS is a critical feature, so if not works properly it will be a big deal!!! Let me know on that!!!
[Desire HD General] bobbyelliott:
I've noticed that I am unable to get any GPS fix indoors, even when I am sitting close to a window. I presumed it was because I wasn't outside but this thread is worrying. I'll try to get a fix outside and report back. One thing's for sure - the GPS on the HD doesn't seem as good as the one on my Desire, which found GPS indoors.
[Desire HD General] xazac:
I can't get the fix even if I'm outside. I was in Rome in the past 3 days, and I never got the fix! The iPhone 4 worked fine...
[Desire HD General] bobbyelliott:
UPDATE: I got a fix, pretty quickly, outside (in a city) but it is still unable to get one indoors - including on buses and trains. My Desire managed this.

Does the HD's sat nav work in a car? Are people using it for in-car navigation?
[Desire HD General] Woebs:
I had problems getting my GPS to get a fix, so I downloaded GPS test from market and noticed I actually had 11 satellites that i was connected to. When GPS test showed how accurate the tracking was I exited out of GPS test, and to my surprise I got a fix almost instantly in Google Maps/My Tracks and even Locations.

I then took a drive, first with my DHD laying in the passenger seat on the first trip, and then with the DHD in my inner pocket of my jacket. Using my tracks I recorded the route and it had tracked me perfectly on both trips. Only time it stopped tracking was when I went in to a mall, but it picked up again when I left.

I live in sweden and the car is not a convertible, and 3G was off.

If the gps test thing actually helped I do not know, so feel free to test and report.

edit: I tried it again and the only thing about gps test "helping" is to see when the DHDs gps actually get a fix. It seems to be slow as crap on fixating but once you get the fix it tracks you very good. Right now I'm indoors(wooden house out in the countryside) and I had to wait about 2-3 minutes with 8-12 satellites in use and standing near a window before it got my position. After that I went back to where I tried before and it is still tracking me with 15-30meters accuracy and currently 7-8 satellites in use.
[Desire HD General] shruff:
Those with GPS issues can try this, remove the battery for 10-15 mins then try GPS app again, ports can get messed up if we try out multiple GPS apps, removing the battery for a length of time should clear cache and or memory. Just try it and report back.
[Desire HD General] m7svk:
I tried alreay couple times, no luck, only fix is reset phone, but not happy, working fine couple days, and issue again, reset again, really not happy, this only one thing i am not happy on my dhd. ANY ADVICE or HELP ?? thanks..
[Desire HD General] spiou:
Hello,

I have some problems too with my GPS. Some times the fix can be very quick but it’s not systematic.

What I noticed:

-	When I activate the GPS option all the time, the fix is almost always fast. Sometimes it’s still very long: so in GPS status I reset the cache and the fix is after very quick.

-	When I activate the GPS only when I need (turn on and turn off before and after using Navigation), I never get a fix. Resetting the cache in GPS Status or restarting Android does not solve the problem. So I launch several times GPS Status to reset cache and several times Navigation and after a while I can get a fix…. I think there is a real problem with the management of the GPS, because in GPS status I can see 11 satellites and Android is still searching!!!

Is there anyone who noticed that turning on and off GPS can seriously degrade the performances to get a fix?
[Desire HD General] m7svk:
I done few very similar things, clear cache, reset phone, but still I had feeling something was wrong, then I find I had faulty gps receiver, hardware issue, replaced for new one, thanks to very good store manager, and now I have black DHD, before was brown, and already new one is have all latest update installed, GPS lock in couple seconds anytime on open air, inside house It will lock in around 1 - 2 minutes longest, no more resets, no more clearing cache, working on 100 %..., this is just what I find myself, and I glad I had replaced mine old for brand new - and not just repaired..
[Desire HD General] spiou:
Damned, I hope this is not an hardware issue ! Maybe you have some updates installed on your new phone which solve the problem ?

Is there anyone who noticed the same issues or I am the only one ?
[Desire HD General] rossysaurus:
mine never gets a solid fix. i had 11 satellites and no fix. gonna have to buy a blutooth thingy.
[Desire HD General] m7svk:
mine first dhd , 8 - 10 satellites, still can't lock, my second dhd 5-6 satellites and locks in less as 30 seconds.., in building locks in 1- 2 minutes, very impressed...
[Desire HD General] spiou:
To m7svk : Is your gps always on ?

Did you try to switch on only before use it ? I don't know what android do exactly when I switch it off but it seems that the fix is very long after modifying this parameter.

I just noticed that turning the phone in airplane mode do not switch off the gps, so I think that the good practice is always leave this parameter on. My intention was to turn it off to save battery, but it seems affect the time to fix...
[Desire HD General] m7svk:
not really, I just done quick test..., my gps was off was last 2 days, i turn on, just now, and lock gps in 1min 17 seconds, in building next to window. , then I switch off gps, back, then back on, gps was locked on same position in 19 seconds.., I can agree if you switch off gp to save battery is fine, is not affecting locking so much , but looks is delay little bit ...
[Desire HD General] spiou:
Ok. My experience is that switching on and off the gps before and after launching navigation application increase the time to fix to several minutes (at least 5 mn outside) when the gps wasn't used for few hours.

If the status of the gps is always on, the time to fix is about 10 to 20 seconds (outside) !

I'm wondering if it's normal. I think most of people leave the gps always on...
[Desire HD General] bobbyelliott:
Since the GPS radio is only active when an app uses it (such as Google Maps) then leaving it on should not drain the battery and is probably the best approach if switching it on and off affects the time to make a connection.
[Desire HD General] spiou:
I red in some forums that the gps is not totally off when you quit your navigation app but is in an idle state which drain a little bit the battery... (but of course very less than when it is on).

Changing radio has been known to improve signal, GPS fix and sometimes battery strength. Follow this guide on how to change battery
[Touch HD General] kdu:
I've just got out of this, whenever I was in my flat, signal was only 1 bar, sometimes lost. I tried this and wow it worked, here's what you can try: open Comm manager, go to Phone setting, select Band (change base band), select the network type GSM instead of Auto, then set Band Frequency to GSM (900+1800)+UMTS(2100+900) instead of Auto. It seemed that Auto select caused this low signal.

hi

Since a few days, when I go to google.com in 3G mode, this is this website which appears (see the screenshot enclosed)

it's telling me about HAVP - Virus scanner error. I don't where that comes from ?...

and what is weird is that it only happens in 3G and not in Wifi ...

Is it a virus or something ?

I run Leedroid 2.2d on my HTC Desire by Orange (France)

Have any informations about that ?

Thank you !

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrox1:
I really have bricked my phone.

I flashed with fastboot a corrupt alpharev patch of the n1table (not their fault).

Wiped with clockwork.

Then installed my nandroid

And it never started up again. I don't remember seeing the s-off joker flash screen, or anything.

I have no Bootloader, HBOOT, or excess to recovery.

Power on with Vol up= Nothing

Power on with vol down = Nothing

Power on with back button = Nothing

Only thing I have to say that it has a little life in it, is when I pull the battery, put it back in then connect the usb cable I will get the charge led come on. It also changes from Orange to Green. But as soon as power button is pressed, LED goes off and then there is nothing.

adb devices , brings nothing.

So have I got a paperweight, or do you think that there is a way around this? How can I get a HBOOT back on?

Any help is good help! Thanks for all help

I have an epic running on verizon...all was well, other than to get data working, i would need to try and send an mms after every reboot. This has something to do with the rom and hands free activation. So being the dumba......err perfectionist i am, i tried messing with the hands free activation in the /data/data area. well low and behold i lost the phone getting a radio signal....ugh. So i did a full restore using odin, and redid everything in qpst....BUT....odin never restored the hands free activation part of the rom! I tried multiple times....am i missing something? Are there any other files i could try?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KitsunePaws:
Do you know what files you're missing? When you restored with Odin, I assume you used the stock sprint rom, is that what you were running before? Did you alter your ESN at all? Running ACS' rom, My /data/ folder is empty :confused: If you need anything I'll be happy to up it to you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Forcystos:
I don't think that even matters since flashing stock with Odin is supposed to format /data. If not, flash the full stock .tar again, and format /data manually before you try to boot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] suzook:
Yea...odin is supossed to, but I wind up with missing files! I was runnin custom kernals and roms with no problems....I got thephone runnin on the stock rom and kernal, but now when I try a custom rom or kernal....it won't boot correctly...or I get no cell service...not sure what to do now...I guess I'm stuck with stock:-(

Now that I have updated to 2.1 on the mini pro, I am having big problems with wifi. When I had 1.6 it was able to connect to my network every time without problem. Now it recognises the network but has trouble connecting. I have tried rebooting my router a number of times and changing the channel but nothing seems to work. There is nothing wrong with my network as I have computers using it without a problem, Sometimes the phone will connect to the network, but most of the time I am unable to connect.

It says on the official site you can sync facebook pics with contacts, how can I do that?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
you need android 2.1 and facebook for android. login press the button sync to contacts
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Skeldave:
For anyone who still has 1.6 you can use 'SyncMyPix' which does the same thing.

Note: The name in your phonebook has to be identical to the name on facebook.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] friz:
Other program is Facebooksync there you can choose which phone contact to sync with facebook profile picture.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] FiDra:
Do not need any 3rd-party app.

Just upgrade to 2.1, then update the pre-installed Facebook app with Android Market.

At the first time you start FB App, it will ask you whether to sync your facebook contacts with your phone contacts or not. Let it sync.

When the sync is completed, open your Contacts. Click on the contact that you want to change the Contact Picture ~> click on Edit Contact ~> press Menu button and choose Join contact. Then choose your Facebook contact that related with the current contact.

Done, the contact picture will automatic change to FB profile picture. Any update to FB profile picture will effect to the user contact picture automatically.
