[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Sorry for the silence everyone, and not getting back to questions asked, but I have been working on testing more roms (Post#2 updated), and I have been working on the "Alpha" Script. This is VERY alpha at the moment and is for "Testing ONLY". Anyone willing to test this please PM me, I am looking more so for the people that are having trouble. Like htcvidi, dkl_uk.

Anyone have longer then 60s first lock times. Anyone having lock times that are fast do not pm me nor try this script, it could mess your gps up, and possible your install.

This script comes with drivers, and an apn setting. So please be sure you want to try this, I will not be responsible if it ends up having you to re-install your rom, for that alone please make a backup before attempting anything with this alpha script. I know I said I was going to PM people when it was ready, but I choose to ask for volunteers instead. The test would be for 3 days max.

Initial Test with alpha script for me (Times will vary please note that) first lock 16s has been the longest, shortest hot relock 4s, shortest reboot lock 7s. I dont expect everyone to get these times, but I am really hoping this fixes the issues for the people who are having trouble, even after trying a new/different rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dkl_uk:
Willing to try, but are you able to describe the changes this will make. With the APN setting, what are you changing?

I'm aware the APN settings can have some effect - I believe it's the "supl" string in the options that must be in place, it can't be a fluke that the gps.conf also has this "supl" option also.

If you're changing APN's how are you able to accomplish this by network operator? Does your script simply ensure the "supl,mms" option is correct or is it a brand new APN entirely?

Also in regards to drivers the library files in the unofficial nightly from the 14th are working wonders for me. Which ROM did you extract yours from?

Cheers

no root access

Hi everyone!

I have the problem that I want to change the GPS settings in the etc/gps.conf file. But I have no chance to get root access to my device. I tried the "super tools" root file explorer without success.

Does anyone have a short WORKING procedure how to edit/copy/replace the gps.conf on a HTC HD2 with stock desire NAND froyo image??

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dkl_uk:
Root your device. Search XDA forums for "z4root".

Get root explorer, or a free alternative.

Navigate to /system/etc, click and hold the gps.conf file - in the popup menu select to open the file as text, edit the file. Save the file.

You cannot do this without root permissions. Also some ROMS simply do not allow changes at all, it'll change until you reboot then go back to the old version.

An alternative method is to download the Android APK and use the ADB application to pull the file, edit it locally then push it back. Again, search. I would recommend using Google to search rather than the forum search tools.

Do you think cold restart really reset Gps data ?

When i stop my HD2 for few hours and i restart it, it takes 1 or 2 minutes to get a Gps fix.

After this, if i stop and restart it few secondes later, i have the fix in less than 30 seconde. This occurs every time.

So my question is :

Do you think that cold restart really reset Gps data ?

(To test I use GpsStatus and i don't download Agps.)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dkl_uk:
A general question:

Do you ACTUALLY switch the phone completely off for hours at a time? I can see situations where this would be viable, like at work, but personally i've never turned my phone off.

Anyway, a cold restart is supposed to wipe all GPS data and start from nothing. I don't beileve the "cold start" GPS Status is supposed to make is as effective as, say, a hard reset of a TomTom device where the info is wiped. I did a "cold start" last night and my GPS Status locked on again almost instantly.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htcvidi:
Yes I Do. :) I really shut down the phone some nights. Why ? I don't know but i do it. :D

just got my 2nd lock ever, since putting android on this phone 3 weeks ago. immediately after I got the lock in GPS status, I went into google maps to try to get my location, and nothing. bah i dont understand it.

just upgraded from radio version 2.10 to 2.15; i also downloaded 2.14, might consider giving that a shot. for those who's GPS works well in the US, can you post your radio version?

Ok, if I piss anyone of with my question I apologize in advance. I unfortunately don tunderstand all this replace this file with this confi using root explorer and so on. Im currently using CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD(2) NAND ROM . I fi copy the North America Zip into my sd card and then do this:

Reboot phone and hold down the Red/End/PWR button until the MAGLDR Boot menu appears

Scroll down to option 8. AD Recovery and hit Green/Send key

Phone will now boot into ClockworkMod Recovery Mode

Scroll down to 'install zip from sdcard' and hit Green/Send key

Scroll down to 'choose zip from sdcard' and hit Green/Send key

Scroll down to your the zipand hit Green/Send key

Scroll down to 'yes - install ...blah...blah...blach.zip' and hit Green/Send key

Scroll down to 'reboot system now' and hit Green/Send key

Let phone boot normally

Will this work? Again I apologize if anyone gets pissed off by a Android rookie question.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dkl_uk:
This is nothing to do with Maps, it's to do with the fact you just can't get a lock the second time round. I experienced this a lot, I could run GPS Status, close it, open it again 15 seconds later and no lock for 30 minutes.

I have literally just fixed this issue yesterday. Go to the Unofficial nightlies for cyanogen, get the ROM from the 14th of Feb, use Radio 2.15* and see what happens.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dkl_uk:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
Have you checked your build thread to see if there is a root solution? If you have root access, you could try ES File Explorer and in setting ask for root access to edit the gps.conf file. If you don't have root access at all, do a google search for Droid Explorer and download the program onto your computer. Connect your phone and you will have access to the files on your phone via computer and edit the file that way.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
The APN I am not changing anything, I am merely seperating supl and mms. Also there are additional supl codes, like for orange in the UK, vodafone, etc, you would need to make sure you are using the right one for your network.

The APN would be a new manual entry. And as for the drivers, they are from the Huashan Build that was just released, but I am starting to think more that this isnt a module or driver issue.

If the CM& nightlies are working wonders for you, then I would suggest not trying this script unless you make a complete full backup of your rom. I always believe whats not broke, dont fix it!

A cold boot is just that, turning the phone off anything over 5 mins clears all memory. Cold boot also from my understanding is also a reboot. Also GPS alone without the aide of agps can take a long time, it is no different then standalone gps units.

I would take dkl_uk suggestion and try the CM7 nightlies, as much as I want to get my script as good as possible, I also like having people enjoy their phones, and I've tried their rom, I like the sense experience, but that rom from the testing I have done is solid, Gave Chan props for the build.

I have the testers I need, I will be sending you a link with instructions in the zip, unfortunately you will have to do this manually, either b droid explorer, or root explorer.

Also if anyone is really good with adb and logcat, I have been trying to run a realtime logcat on screen and running GPS Status to monitor when I reset the data, and re-download the data, but I havent been able to show me all the steps, all it keeps showing me is rpc calls. if anyone can run a debug with more info then the rpc calls, either please tell me how, or run the log and save it and pm me so I can download it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Risling:
You don't have cold start after reboot. You don't have cold start even you reflash your Android, if you don't reflash your radio. You have to use special program to erase data in GPS receiver to get cold start or you have to wait for a long time since last fix.

I tested your patch, AngelDeath.

I switched back to prj Clean Desire v0.3.2 for the tests. This rom was very slow to get a fix even with your gps.conf.

This could take up to 5 minutes at my home.

With the last 'script', the maximum time for a fix was 1 minute 30 with an average of 45 seconds.

It seems to be very good, AngelDeath.

I switched off the phone and i will test again in 1 or 2 hours to be sure that the satellites are no longer in the same place.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tageeboy:
Your gonna laugh at me but in the past I was able to use my test HD2 without a SIM card and get a valid GPS signal. Using MDJ's 2.6 GB. I used to keep the test HD2 in the car as a navi and music player.

I am currently testing the 2.15 build of the CM unofficial nightly builds and for some reason I am not able to get a GPS lock under any situations. I have applied the patches as listed and taken the steps. I notice there is not a GPS icon when it should be locking. I also checked the APN settings and there is nothing there. Could this be my issue? I have wifi data working at home but obviously no data on the road. I am moving my SIM card to test this out but just figured I would ask here to see if maybe my testing is in vain. Is it possible to use gps without a SIM?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dkl_uk:
You don't need a SIM or network connection to use GPS. I used to use a TyTN2 in the same way as you use your HD2, a dumb GPS unit.

Also the 2.15 build is broken. Flash the 2.14 build.

With Launcher Pro you have to use SQLite Editor. There's a free one for Windows, but can't think of the name right now. Use Root Explorer to grab /data/data/com.fede.launcher/databases/launcher.db

In Favorites you'll find all the titles. Just rename, save and replace the file. Do a backup first in case anything goes wrong.

When I press the back button in the Contacts app another screen opens (this one identical to the first, except missing the "Contacts", "Groups", and "Activities" tabs), rather than exiting to the home screen as should be expected. Pressing the back button on this screen does nothing - the only way to exit the app is with the home button.

I have noticed that this does not happen with some ROMs - pressing the back button on the first screen simply exits the app without opening the second screen. Why does this happen, and is there a way to make the app always exit when pressing 'back'? I tried using the Contacts.apk from a ROM in which it works correctly in a ROM in which it does not, but nothing changes.

I can close it and close the task manager then go back to task manager and it be there again right away sometimes. Aside from it being anoying I also think it is cause my battery to drain some what faster and my HD2 to need me to run cleanRam alot more often if you know what I mean. This only sarrted after I flashed the official T-Mobile updated ROM, it was not happening with the first stock ROM.

I'm asking this because Jt's voodoo kernel includes a modified recovery for both voodoo and non-voodoo.

Does that mean SC 2.2 voodoo includes a modified recovery for both v and nv?
