Please consider updating your first post similar to the first post of this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850784) thread. There are a lot of devices affected, and it will probably be easier to communicate progress or solutions if we have a single, up to date thread devoted to the problem.

Same problem with t-mobile

Hello,

I can confirm this problem too. Mine is slightly different, but very similar. I live in the Chicago, IL area using T-mobile with my N1.

When I was on cm 5.0.8 and lower, which was android 2.1 no issues with finding my estimated location just on 3g or edge (no wifi or gps), going to cm6.0 stable and 2.2, didn't really notice any problems but can't confirm (was only on it a day or two before upgrading roms again). Now I'm running miui v11.26 on 2.2.1 and I can get estimated location on edge, but switching to 3g I always get "current location temporarily unavailable." Same thing with the cm6.1 RC 1 and 2, and even older miui like 11.12 and 11.19.

If I use wifi I get a lock right away, and with my apn settings of "default,supl" I get gps fairly quickly too over 3g.

I don't understand how I can get estimated location for edge and not 3g. Its really annoying for apps that use geolocation but don't need gps ie. beautiful widgets, foursquare, etc...

I've tried wipes, different roms, making sure my usa band and/or automatic is selected with phone information using *#*#4636#*#*, network settings with tmobile selected and/or automatic selection, apn as "default" or "default,sulp" I don't get it....and tmobile customer service doesn't know anything as usual....

@thatguy123

That's bizarre. Sorry, but I have nothing helpful to offer you.
[Nexus One General] Quantus:
Which OS are you using? Froyo? Eclair?
[Nexus One General] thatguy123:
I'm on froyo. I think I just got a temporary fix though. After being persistant with tmobile customer service I got them to cut off my service while my phone had the battery and sim out, then rebooted and magically estimated location on 3g worked. We will see if it lasts though....
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
so it IS a rogers/fido issue.

My friend has the same exact phone on the same network and has the same trouble - but my other friend running it on Videotron has no trouble.

Latitude via WIFI = works

Latitude via GPS = works

Latitude via Mobile = does not work

Mobile = Rogers/Fido, therefore Rogers/Fido = broken.

Booya, math!
[Nexus One General] madballs:
LOL, I dobut Rogers/Fido agree with your math. The only math they know how to do is add up your money month after month.

I found a post on the following site regarding this issue. Can every one on here with the issue make a post on that thread.

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=310dd072d5f565ee&hl=en

Hopefully Google will see it and take action on their side.

Same issue on rogers in Montreal. It appeared this weekend and I thought it was due to a bad ROM. But since then I have tried Evil's Nxsense 1.26, Rodriguez style Miuimod, MM desire superhybrid, 4.06, 5.08 and 5.12 radios.

It works intermittently, that's all I can say.

I had no issues last week, and I reverted to an older nandroid backup with no improvement.
[Nexus One General] kenypowa:
I have the exact same issues with Nexus One/CM6 on Rogers. My location can't be identified in both EDGE and 3g. I'm located in southern Ontario.
[Nexus One General] OzCDN:
Has anyone reverted back to early FroYo or Eclaire to confirm this is a Froyo / Rogers issue?
[Nexus One General] madballs:
@OzCDN. You're right. Does anyone have a rooted device and flash an Eclair ROM to see if it works? But I think somebody in the other thread said they have tried and 2.1 and lower works.
[Nexus One General] Quantus:
I suggested it, and I even tried, but for reasons that seem to be specific to Samsung Galaxy quirks was unable to successfully revert to 2.1.

That said, AllGamer (from the SGS forums) is currently using 2.1 without problems.

That suggests that the issue is with 2.2, but our sample is small and not representative, so the evidence is not strong that the problem lies in the interaction of Rogers and 2.2.

That said, the theory is the simplest one that explains the observations.
[Nexus One General] mr_raider:
I have a Magic on rooted 2.1 and it works.
[Nexus One General] lattera:
I bought a T-Mobile G2 today, because I was fed up with my Nexus One's bugs--one of which was broken location. I can firmly confirm it's broken on T-Mobile Nexus One in the Salt Lake City, Utah, USA market. I first noticed the bug around two weeks ago.

As a side note, I'm going on my honeymoon in a week and I'll need GPS data then. Not having GPS was the straw that broke my camel's back.

*Edit*

See next post, sorry.
[Nexus One General] thatguy123:
I have this problem, call t-mobile customer service and ask them to reset your data connection while your phone is off with your battery and sim card out. Since I did this the 3g works sometimes.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Except that LBS has absolutely nothing to do with GPS.
[Nexus One General] lattera:
Both are broken for me. Maps can't find my location, even when standing in a clear field. Twitter can't find my location when standing in the same field. News & Weather can't, either.
[Nexus One General] OzCDN:
If your GPS is not working then you should get it fixed ... you should still be under warranty.

The issue that is being discussed here is the cell-tower-based phone location system that is used when the GPS radio is OFF.
[Nexus One General] Txtraveler:
I had this problem for a while, but my GPS always worked. It was just the coarse navigation that was failing to update automatically. And now...

MY NEXUS IS WORKING AGAIN!

The change? I did a wipe of cache, dalvik, battery stats and rotate settings (I don't use SD:ext so I didn't wipe that), and reinstalled an updated ROM, in my case Geo411's FRG83D modified stock ROM from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714184. If you have Root and can flash a custom ROM, you may want to give this a try. It gave my coarse navigation back.

Edit: I'm in the USA on T-mobile, and the coarse nav problem was in multiple locations (my work involves travel). Also, I'd also bypass the wifi calling upgrade if you use Geo411's ROM. It decreased battery life for me.
[Nexus One General] Txtraveler:
Your radio may be faulty, because Twitter uses only coarse nav, but maps uses the best available, coarse if that's all it has, but fine (GPS) if it's available. I had the coarse nav issue for quite a while after flashing FRG83 (Froyo 2.2) but my GPS was always accurate when I was outdoors.

Beyond flashing a new radio (CAREFUL!!), I don't know what to suggest for you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainqtp:
I only loaded a new rom on the incredible successfully once, last summer when the signed 2.2 rom came out early and I couldn't wait for the OTA.

I had this problem crop up that said my storage was full when I had gobs of space left on my internal storage and my sd card. Finally, after I did the factory reset option and still had the storage issue, I decided to try reflashing with a new rom because my phone was becoming unusable. I couldn't install apps, save contacts or even open text messages. My phone wouldn't even sync with Google.

I decided to try flashing with the redemption rom after reading some good things about it.

I managed to load it successfully, but I still had the storage error! argh!

After trying to reformat some things with the ClockworkMod Recovery partition menu, I tried to reload the redemption rom again. Something went wrong.

Now I get messages saying(on the ClockworkMod recovery screen):

_______

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(file exists)

E:Can't mount Cache:recovery/command

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(file exists)

E:Can't mount Cache:recovery/log

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(file exists)

When I choose the option to install the redemption rom off my sd card in the clockworkmod, it fails after giving me similar error messages.

I'm stumped. Can anyone point me towards the right thread to deal with this? I can't boot to install any other software onto my phone. Practically everything I try gives me can't mount error messages.

I was hungry and in a hurry and never made a nandroid backup :( I HAVE tried reformatting the sd card, but I got no different results from that.

So am I A) totally screwed, B) somewhat screwed, or C) not screwed at all, just an idiot?

Help?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbuckham:
Have you tried a different SD card? Your SD card could have failed or become corrupt in some way.

I doubt you are totally messed up. You may need to get a brand new factory ROM (on your new SD Card) and start from there. Just Google it. As for an SD Card, there will be a few on sale Friday.

As for the full memory, I had that same problem, it's a cache issue with the HTC software (HTC Mail, Facebook, Peep and such). Once you get back up and running make sure you root (unrEVOked is working on a work around for the latest mid Nov OTA but there are other ways to root) and get a Cache Cleaner. It's not a permanent fix, but it does work.

Good luck!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainqtp:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctinsley:
I take no credit for this but try this its on Adrynalyne's blog http://adrynalyne.us/

"There have been a few cases where /cache has been corrupting on the DI."

"To fix this, you must be in clockwork recovery.

First, unmount cache from partitions menu.

Then, mount system from the same menu.

adb shell

system/bin/e2fsck -p /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

exit"

That should fix the issue you guys are having.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainqtp:
Thanks Barbee, I was able to unbrick with your solution! Pretty muh all of that was way over my head, but the instructions were clear and they worked. Now I just need to get that Redemption rom to work with the *228 option1 programming on the phone... that doesn't work now lol.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctinsley:
That's easy, go into settings sounds and turn the touch tones to long. This is common in custom roms.

what happened was you trashed your internal partitions using cwm partitioner......the method on cyanogen's forum shows how to properly reformat the internal partitions to ext2 and gets you back to having a usable phone.

Not a problem. So far I've managed to minimize everything keeping all the functionality. The only problem is getting Touch Wiz to work with the widgets. It seems to require some sort of Opera Component. I've cooked back in jcustom and an operadll in from ODC, and then it produces more errors but VS2008 is making DLL hooks to these two DLLS. I gave up for a bit unless someone has another clue.

Hey everyone.

I read it on the wiki that flashing 1024mb Leo with 512mb Rom would certainly cause a brick, I also read those scary posts about phones dead even with HSPL flashed, so I ask a question: Is there something else you should NOT do besides what is written in RUU itself?

Is it possible to make some kind of tutorial "how not to brick HD2"

P.S. Sorry if it is already stated somewhere, but all I could find were posts about already bricked HD2s
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zewill:
Might sound like a stupid question for all advanced users, but i find its a very good question, because of course, bricking anything (unless its a real brick) is a real bummer!

So yeah, i was also wanting to know what NOT to do, and what things to avoid..

For example, i installed HSPL 3 with a 2.02SPL, people say i will have stability issues.. i didnt read about that in HSPL3 tutorial.. will those stabilioty issues possibly lead to a brick?

Also, installing HSPL 3 and then installing HSPL 2 will those things possibly brick an HD2? or to brick an HD2 you must really be doing crazy stuff, like

-flashing 1024 with 512 rom?

-flashing crazy custom & terribly cooked roms?

Anyone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
That was more of just a sort of general piece of advice.

Wasnt suggesting you need to do more reading...........

Its actually the radio that will brick the device.......

flashing a .51 radio to a tmous will brick it.

So .50 radios only. You'd probably be best to go for one above 2.08.50......

Most roms will reccomend a radio to use anyway.......

If you've read the stickys, got the right rom/radio/hspl and familiarised yourself with the process then theres not much that can go wrong.........

95% of the horror stories on here are down to people not doing their homework....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zewill:
I dont understand this radio thingy... Why is it even changeable?

Who would want to tweak that (except cookers?) and why did they provide different radios?

How do i know, when i download a rom what radio is it? If i use always official roms, i have no risks, right? Can even stock roms have different radios?

Thx for answers!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gear_rus:
Radio is a part of firmware (part of ROM if you please) that ensures the link between OS and radio (GSM, FM, BT, WIFI),I read somewhere that it somehow responsible for camera aswell...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
A different radio can give you differences in things like reception and battery life....

Custom roms usually do not come bundled with a radio. The chef nearly always recommends a radio to use with the rom.....

Stock roms come with a radio, which is normally shown as part of the file name....

ie. RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship

If your flashing a tmous with a stock rom you still have to make sure that it is a tmous rom........

And how do i know that the Radios of the 2 other roms ( Radio_Signed_15.30.50.0 7U_2.06.51.07_ and the last RADIO 2.05.51.05_2) are compatible? Indeed, they are different, so how do i know if i can install them without bricking my device???

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
The 3.14 Rom you downloaded from the HTC site already has a radio so you wont need to worry about compatibility........

Just so I'm clear on this, which type of HD2 do you have? tmous / Standard (european) HD2 / Australian (Telstra) HD2.......

Im assuming it asked for an s/n number when you downloaded 3.14??

If it did and yours worked then you have an unbranded handset and you can go ahead and flash that Rom.

If you've flashed before you will need to remove HSPL.........

If not then ignore that...........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckych:
So in simple terms, ONLY the radio that contains

.51

will brick a T-Mobile US HD2 phone, but .50 will be fine. Usually all [ROM] in the Rom thread will tell you if it's T-Mobile Compatible or not. And most of them don't have a radio built into it anyways.

Every Rom you download from HTC will contain the ROM, and RADIO, so before loading you must make sure it is for HTC T-Mobile US not UK, which is usually stated before you download as you have to put in your SN number before you're able to download.
