GPS not working after installing Dutty´s V4 - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

First the usual "appologies" that seem to be "a must" in this forum.
1.) Reason for not posting in the V4 thread is simply because that thread is too large, too full of non-subject replies.
2.) I have read the 2:nd FAQ post, does not even mention the problem with the GPS
3.) I have read the wiki
4.) I have searched the forum (and it does not even find anything because GPS has too few letters)
5.) I have browsed through 50 pages in the V4 thread and did not find an answer (and got tired reading ).
So, my problem:
GPS does not work after I installed the V4 rom. It did work in V3.
I have tried quick GPS, I also started GPS-tool (which did not get a fix either or find any satellites).
The orange blinking LED does not start when using GPS tool (it starts in miomap however).
And googlemaps does not get a fix (or find any satellites) either.
My radio is 12.32 , if that has anything to do with GPS?! I have sim-unlocked the phone. I live in Sweden.
I read a few posts where people seem to have a problem with their GPS after changing radio, even when they revert back to their original radio. During the sim-unlocking process the radio is temporarily changed, maybe that is the source of the problem?

What is the deal with everyone starting new threads instead of posting in the thread where it needs to be.
MY gps works just fine. 1.27.12.11 radio with dutty v4 rom.

I like it.. you apologised for not following the rules.. then didnt follow them. excellent.
The Dutty V4 thread is the one most likely to be of use.. I know its full of people not posting in the right place.. but adding to that isn't going to help.
As to the problem.. People keep reporting GPS issues with the Radio ROM's... Now It may be me but the radio rom shouldnt have anything to do with the GPS... unless im mistaken its a seperate chip and will have a seperate flash (which you probably cant modify)
What COM port are you trying to use? What are your External GPS settings set too in the control panel?

I got no problems with new threads on new issues. 150+ pages is just useless.
I haven't seen the GPS problem you talk about. Might try re-flashing your radio version, or a different version.

No neither do I.. But this isn't a new issue..
Loads of people are saying they have GPS issues after flashing..
At least a few of them I've seen are actually caused by people not understanding what they are on about (A few of the people seem to be confused by the fact the GPS may be on a different COM port after the flash for example)
the others all seem to follow the logic that changing the radio may help.. so trying that would be a good place to start (flashing back to the radio the device e shipped with for example and seeing if the GPS now works int he new Os with the old radio?)
I've never had a GPS problem.. But have seen all these fixes so many times whilst reading other threads I can regurgitate them, and thats without even searching for this issue.

"Duttys DualTouch v4 RTM Release [ FAQ added in Post 2]" thread on 158 page

Go through the setup again.... If need be try a hard reset then Run GPSTest
Ensure you are using a radio compatible with Dutty's ROM. Try one or all of
these first, then report back what you find if it doesn't come back.
You shouldn't have to duck when you poke your head into the forum. Just be thankful it's not a contact sport yet. Just because you're using one ROM or another avoid attributing the problems/issues with that persons ROM. There are so many things that can create problems and user error is the biggest culpret.
Who can blame you for not putting this under the ROM release thread? It's too broad, likely not applicable, and everyone and his uncle has posted something there.
Cheers.

Ok thanks for the answers. Somehow the GPS just started working again, but I will never know why I started google maps, mio maps, tomtom a few times, and suddenly after 2 days the gps started working I was just about changing rom and radio, but now it seems as if I will stick to V4 a couple of days
thanks!

this version works ok with nearly all apps and cooked apps the only problem is the touchflo, the touch flo works but its not 100%

Can't turn on the bluetooth

hello,
unfortunately i cannot turn on the bluetooth from comm manager, it turns on and after 1 second is off again.
any solution for this problem?
thanks.
I have had this problem before and unfortunately am having it again. Only solution I have ever found for this is a hard reset and then reinstalling all your apps. If you try to restore from a backup from Sprite Backup, for instance, the problem remains. This would lead me to believe that it's a setting or a registry issue somewhere but I haven't been able to locate exactly what would be causing it and don't know enough about programming in WM to write something to figure it out.
Not a great answer but there it is.

Hi, I have a Uk version of the touch cruise and I have the same problem. I just did a hard reset but the problem remains. Turning bluetooth on is impossible. It just try's to turn it on and shuts it off immediately.
Maybe it has something to do with GPRS? I am always connected to the internet. I tried to disconnect but then bluetooth still doesn't work. Can anyone help? Thnx!
No one has a clue?
I had this prob with bluetooth and wifi following the use of wmwifirouter- after hard reset and no wmwifi all goes well...
On a French SFR rom
any other idea?
Same problem... beginning to wish I'd gone all Apple and bought an iPhone. Anyway.... To trun it on, I had to go to Comm Manager>Settings>Bluetooth>Mode>Turn on Bluetooth. That worked despite the Comm Manager still showing Bluetooth as "off".
It only connects 1/2 the time to my headset or handsfree in the car
Otherwise, the phone crashes only once a day! Great! Thanks!
ok, great to see more people having the same problem but i hope that someone has a sollution...
When I try to turn bluetooth on in the communications settings i get a message saying there is a hardware error! :S
Ohw btw, I'm not using any router programs or other and my WIFI works fine.
has anybody of you having this problem tried to change to another rom?
if yes? did this worked?
any news on this?
No news, I don't want to try for a different rom because i don't think it will change anything. It just seems like its a faulty device which is a real shame. I've already contacted the place where i bought it and see if i can get a new one.
I also have problems with my microphone during calls, photo camera does often not work and the touchpad reacts very slowly to my touches. Very annoying!!!!
Yup, am returning mine to HTC aswell. Not even sure I want it back. WiFi stopped working too, and then it stopped receiving text messages, and everyone said they couldn't hear me when I called them. Great
Some of you guys got a bad device, there are thousands out there working properly.
If some of you guys flashed a newer Radio, the one form the test-ROM, then this is your problem.
And some of you guys have a quite gay branded ROM (slow responsiveness of touchpad). The original HTC ROM on the FTP and even more so a cooked ROM would solve alot of your problems. But be aware, flashing without having a backup ready is going to void your warranty if you want to exchange it having a custom/non-original ROM on the device.
What's up Schaggo
I am experiencing the same problem these gentlemen are mentioning and my ROM is not gay or lesbian. It is the original one.
TC is my 7th HTC device and I can see the quality of the ROMs decreasing a lot on every new device. I feel like HTC needs a real competitor to move up its arse quicker.
All I can say is that it really annoys me to hard reset this [email protected] everytime I "accidentally" use a native feature called Flight Mode. By bluetooth seems to fly away and never get back.
Lots of time the GPRS settings have to be reconfigured too. Some people I know have problems with GMail IMAP4 accounts when sending messages after some time. I never had this problem on my Kaiser neither on my Niki.
The lack of a video driver really is an egg on our faces, because I can't believe my ole Qtek 9100 responds quicker than these "all the bells and whistles" Qualcomm 7200 super-duper geared up devices.
So, if you feel like not contributing, please do not mess around.
Your signature tells me you are a wise man, but your comments show me otherway.

Hi
I've tried many custom rom and the PB continue. "PB with the hardware oh BT".
Hard reset doent change anything.
my initial rom (SFR France) was working
custom rom (blackwidow + Bepe 058) are buging...
nedd some help !
Thanks alot for that input feaps. I guess I have to clarify a little bit.
My answer was supposed to be pointing in different directions. The first and general information I tried to contribute was, that it is not a common Polaris problem to have a broken Bluetooth unit. Which doesn't help at all to ppl affected, but it should tell them, that they probably got a bad device and should exchange it first before blameing htc in general and shouting for an iPhone.
It only was partially directed at specific persons. At madinga for example: did you try hardresetting your device? It could be a corruption in your system which causes all those problems. I doubt it though, if you suffer the loss of so many functions at the same time I suspect the mainboard to be broken. But nonetheless, hardreset it, see if its working, BEFORE you put your backup back on the device again since that could restore the corruption. If it doesnt work, exchange your unit, I hope you'll get a working one back.
My second line was directed at all people which have overwritten their original Radio with the 1.58.25.14 originating from the HTC Test ROM which can be found on the ftp server. The Bluetooth part of that Radio is flawed and leads to the problems described in this thread. I quite nicely pointed that out and told people where to have a look before shouting around. I do know that because I tried it myself and couldnt get my Bluetooth devices working. Once I flashed the original Radio back, my BT problems were gone.
And my third line - in which I may chose the wrong words, 'gay' for example - holds information targeted at people with for example the branded french SFR ROM or the original HTC french ROM. The SFR ROM is just horribly branded and if you go through the threads here you'll find people complaining about problems which then turn out to be related to the ROM. The french HTC ROM is flawed as well, it has severe problems with the volume control. I don't exactly remember what it was, but it's a flawed ROM, thats for sure. The German o2 ROM isnt flawless either, I know that because I originally had that ROM. Once I flashed my orbit 2 with the original HTC WWE ROM, I found it to be working alot better and smoother than with the o2 ROM originally provided. And this is where my last line comes into play: if you suffer problems related to your currently flashed ROM, they could be diminished by flashing an alternative ROM. But if your device is broken, and I personally and strongly believe that everybody fooling around in this forum should be intelligent enough and able to determine the sense of my words, eg. if he/she suffers a ROM problem or if the device just simply is dead and take appropriate actions.
And now to your contribution feaps. I feel personally attacked by your words. Thats why I defended my words in all the paragraphs above. Trust me, I've had enough mobile devices of all sorts to know what it means to get a not working once. Its frustrating and makes you want to throw it out of the window. And being able to see the quality decrease over time is just another drop on a hot stone. I agree. But be honest, if your BT unit works and stopps working once you engage a software based function, the problem is software related, dont you think? As for the GPRS settings, I cant tell. Since I use a free ROM which has the wizard built in (o2 removed it from their ROM) I didnt switch my SIM and the configuration worked, automatically and every single time. And I do use IMAP as well on my personal E-Mail account. Until now I didnt run across any problems, so I cant give you any feedback on that either.
So rethink again if I mess around or not or if I actually try to contribute and help the freshmen, coming into this forum and flashing whatever they find and breaking their devices. And recommending to flash the original HTC ROM, which should be/is the base for everything floating around, breaking your devices, is a serious input to everybody.
Edit: I forgot to add, pointed at nooms, there are cooked ROMs out there which stupidly have the new, flawed Radio baked in. Which Radio are you on? Try Start > Settings > Tab System > Device Information > Tab Version. Are you inadvertedly still on Radio 1.58.25.14 or back to (original) 1.58.21.23?
Hi everyone,
I agree with Schaggo completely. Most of the time problems have something to do with the software on the device. But I a not a tweaker like most of you guys, i've just bought my first (and hopefully not last) HTC phone. If i have problems of some kind, all i can do is reset the thing. A hard reset if necessary. I've done that many times. I can't change the software that comes standard and i don't think i should be the one who has to do that. Shouldnt HTC be doing that??
Anyway, Bluetooth keeps saying it has an hardware error. My radio version is a standard 1.58.21.23 but isnt finding any radiostations here in holland. Is it also broken? (sorry, i know, its a bit off topic)
You're right

Well put. Sorry for being rude, but I keep seeing people offending others day after day in this forum that used to be high level; but that doesn't mean I should act the same way.
I totally misread you and please accept my apologies.
My ROM is: 1.25.405.1 WWE
ROM Date: 12/11/07
Radio Version: 1.58.21.23
Protocol Version: 25.65.30.04H
One thing I could notice is that HTC has a flaw in the Flush HKCU to Permanent Memory While Shutting Down. Some keys are not written.
One example is the MagiCall (an app I use) registration key. The software maker had to write a flush app for doing that. Another example is the Start>Settings>System>Error reporting. No matter what you chose, after a power cycle or a soft reset, it always go back to "Disable...".
I have, also, already tested the device after the hard reset with no extra apps on it. Same lame behavior on BT...
So, SW QA levels are really dropping fast on new HTC models. That is pretty bad.
But anyway, I have an open case with HTC and if I find something contributive I will toch base with this thread.
Once again, sorry for being rude.
Best,
-Feaps

Then I guess you most probably got a bad unit. I guess the only solution at this time is an exchange.
The Radio-Firmware doesnt control the FM Radio btw The Radio-Firmware controls connections to the providers network, Wireless LAN and Bluetooth. But the FM Radio seems to be really bad in the Polaris, a lot of ppl I know complain about it.

No problem dude! There is no need for such an excessive appology. We are in a Forum and people have different oppinions and I think its totally acceptable to shout at each other. I just wanted to express that I'm not in accord regarding your judgement of my post. But thanks a lot, I seriously really appreciate it!
Yes, your device seems pretty standard to me and the scenario you described logically made me think of a software error. But this seems very unlikely now. I'm out of ideas for the moment then, I guess you have to return or exchange it too.
You are perfectly right about the dropping SW QA though. You can notice the registry glitch in other areas as well: backlight timer always reset to 30 sec, and there are more settings all over the place which don't get saved properly.
Again, no problem, everybody lets be cool
Bluetooth doesn't turn on
I have the same problem. Did anyone find a solution?
Also camera fails to initialize, touch pad is sometimes very slow for initial reaction. I have NO added programs beyond manafacturer originals and have tried a number of hard resets. Doesn't help.

iGo problem

I installed Dutty ROM Duttys_Official_WM6.1_Rom_5.2.19716_UC si radio KAIS_Radinly_1.64.08.21, also iGo installed. I can't use my iGo program because when I try do detect the GPS chip from statellits connection page the PDA freeze when discover it (i can see this because the GPS led turns on). I can tell you that I update already the position using QuickGPS and after that GPSTool I can connect to sattelits. What shoud I do?
Thanks a lot

And If you have more questions maybe put it in the relevant thread. HERE
Also I think you may have a burned up GPS chip. Try a different GPS program. GPSTest or something. But It would be better if you posted in the Thread that deals with Problems in the rom you are using.
two suggestions:
first: see if u have a-gps enabled. if so: disable and try again
second: try another rom... find one that's best for you.
i dont see how htc home plugin can affect this because i tested all possible combinations w&w/o it enabled and nothing changed. I had the same issue, igo freezing with dutty's wm 6.1 ROM when configuring and turning off assisted gps helped, as stated above.
My GPS worked fine with iGo until I changed the ROM (I had Dutty's ROM nr. 4). And that link that you give me, Jimmy, is related to HTC Home. I don't use it, like I said before.
Help please...
Still no answer... any ideea? Thanks

I'm not sure it's a ROM problem. iGo 6 itelf seems to have a problem dealing with AGPS. Mine also freezes after a while if AGPS is turned on.
I just leave it off and everything seems to work fine.
/drt
one thing i did was turning off the igo today plugin..and reboot..that should partially remove the conflict..
There are actually three different kinds of iGo problems I've seen with the various ROMs I've tried:
- Installation won't complete. Often, iGo will run anyway if you just do a soft reset when the installation halts. Often it won't.
- iGo runs, but once configured to find the GPS COM port, it hangs and hangs every time it starts after that. It may be related to AGPS, but I've seen this in ROMs that do not have that enabled by default. Also, I have no data plan and, as a result, no data connection with the tower.
- iGo installs, but won't start at all. Trying to start it results in a little screen opening animation, but nothing appears. The device is sluggish for a moment, then it's as if you never attempted to start it at all. This is the problem I have with Dutty's latest ROM. This almost certainly not related to AGPS since iGo has no GPS configuration immediately after installation. I don't believe it is related to the HTC Home plugin, since iGo runs fine for me on the AT&T test ROM, and it has the plugin.

This is definitely a conflict with the music tab of HTC Home, but only on some 6.1 ROMs (curiously not build 716 though). This problem doesn't occur in any 6.0 ROMs that I know of. It's not the plugin per se, but some component of the Today screen configuration that's causing the problem.

Is it sufficient to uncheck the plugin in the Today configuration and soft reset or is something more drastic required to resolve the conflict? The instructions linked to in an earlier posting seemed more like a series of black magic steps that happened to work.

Garmin issues in cooked ROMs

I originally posted this in the thread for Dutty's 4/29 release, but I've since had it happen in other cooked WM6.1 ROMs so I figured it should be moved out to it's own thread.
When I try to start up Garmin (installs fine), I get the splash screen and then it completely quits before anything else shows up. A few other XDA members have mentioned that they don't have problems and pointed towards checking the software that I have installed. So I did a hard reset, installed Garmin first, and then tested it after every piece of software that I installed.
It worked fine everytime so I thought it maybe just needed to be installed first to workaround any other conflicts. I happily started setting everything else up thinking that I was good to go. After I ran KaiserTweak, Schap's Advanced Config, and changed some stuff in the standard settings options, I tested Garmin again. This time, back to the original problem.
The only setting that I can think of that should matter is aGPS, but that doesn't seem to make a difference and the program quits before it even makes any indication that it's ready to touch the GPS receiver.
I'm going to keep messing with settings and stuff to see what I can find, but I figured I'd document it here for anyone else as well as see if anyone has any ideas on what settings it could be.
This is really driving me nuts.

http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3389.
It does not have the voice, help or basemap files, so this will not help you if you are trying to warez the software. You must already be an owner.
This version works great with WM 6.1, as I travel frequently and it has not had a problem with any of the 6.1 ROMs I have tried.
Good luck!

Thanks.I just installed update over my previous version 4.20.30 and I can confirm that works just fine.
Just installed the updated version and I"m still having the same exact problem.
Actually, now about 10 seconds after it quits, I get an error message that pops up saying "Data type misalignment at Program addess 0x03F94E04 in background thread NULL (Main InitInstance)"
Didn't get that before.

Cheff's!!!!!!!!!!! WIFI issues with roms

ok with l26 v9 and Ryncppr Version V6 wont pick up my homes wifi (ssid is just not there on the wifi screen of my tytn2's settings so i cant connect to it as its not there to click on it). After flashing a few others namely romeos latest and l26 v8 including flashing the correct hard spl(as recommended in rom thread) for all of them my phone finds my wifi again any ideas people? I have tried other wifi managers etc but it still wont be found.
i have also mentioned this in l26's v9 thread and people didn't seem to know i have not said anything to ryncppr as i flashed out of it instantly as i use my wifi all the time at home. this is a very frustrating problem.
And yes i have reset my router and and all that sort of stuff.
I Have all ready tried;
Different radio's
Reflash
Hard reset (after every flash i have ever done)
2 Downloads of l26 v9 from 4shared and rapidshare
2 routers tried
Third party wifi apps
hidden ssid
non hidden ssid
wep disabled
wep enabled
a few channels
sitting next to the router
resetting my router
firmwear update (no further updates)
all router settings were tried on both routers
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok after testing some of the idea given by readers of the thread i have determind this is definatly a rom issue with L26 v9's rom i will test Ryncppr later today or tomorrow. L26 v9 rom will not pick up wifi on channels 12,13,6 and 5 maybe more but after i set my router to 5 my laptop lost the wireless and i had to hook up with a cable to fix. but from other peoples wifi in my street i should be ok on channel 3 aswell. i shall go and post these findings in the l26 thread so people know. i sadly am not a chef etc and have no idea about how to fix this i shall play and see if i can find anything.
this test has been done at hard spl 3.59 (rom recomended) radio 1.58.25.17 and 1.65.24.36 hard reset after flash.
Please inform if you have/find similar results/problem
Did you try different radios?
Ask clearer questions

Man, this post is giving me a headache just 1) trying to understand what the problem is, and 2) trying to understand what you've tried already, and 3) trying to understand why you didn't post this in a specific ROM's thread.
Potential answer #1: ESL. But nope, I look at your country and it's (!) England.
Potential answer #2: You're in an altered state of mind.

Well, look at it this way, he (1) used the correct SPL, (2) tryed [sic] other Wifi managers, (3) reset his router, and (4) all that sort of stuff.
Based on this (especially # 4, because that's a "catch-all") , we can absolutely remove anything that might be specific to his situation or setup (including his phone and/or router). With such conclusive and definitive statements, it can then absolutely only be a problem with every single one of the ROM's he tried.
I know, I know - you might dispute the fact that every single solitary ROM out there the same WiFi bug in it (which hasn't hit me, and probably not you)), but that seems to be the only possibility given (1) to (4). Since every cooked ROM out there must immediately be recooked, the main topic heading is actually well chosen!

Truely confused that my ROM is there since I was using WiFi with it earlier today???

ok well thanks for reading guys the problem is only with my router i can find the house next doors and some 1's from up the street. like i sed i have done all the hard spl stuff. the radio i dont belive to be the issue as the same radio on other roms works fine and after flashing a differnt one i still have the same problem
when i say i have tryed everything i have renamed my ssid on my router hidden un hidden it etc.

... As opposed to the language that you're writing in (which isn't English, I'm guessing, even though my native language is "American").
Seriously, man. We're just trying to help you, but if we can't understand you with the typos, slang, and lapses in data-points, it becomes too hard, and then it becomes much easier for us to slag you because of the typos in your post.
And believe me, I try not to do that because it's such a cheap shot, but this post raises lack of communication to a new level.
Back to the problem, the new data-points are helpful. If the router seems to be the problem, what kind of router are you using?

How can other people read and understand the post but yourself. The router is fine i have only had the problem with 2 roms the ones listed befor. Every other rom has been fine. The radios have been fine i have 6 laptops running off the router and 2 pc's all fine the only problem is with my phone. My old wizard picks it up fine aswell. As said befor the recomend hard spl's were used, the radio has been changed and the problem is still there. And befor anybody ask's yes i did hard reset after all flash's. This is a rom problem im not stupid i have checked everything on the router twice. i have changed settings on the router and my phone still cannot find it. Leading it to be a rom issue as it was fine with l26 v8 v7 and v6 all of duttys i can go on. and like i have sed befor i have changed the name of the router to names of routers around me and it still cant find it. i honestly do not know how to make this more clear.
This is driving me mad as l26 v9 is my fav rom so far and i have found it very stable and fast but i cannot use it with my wifi.
Please fill me in on the "lapses in data-points" ican list all the hard spl's rom (Already said) and radios if you so need. but i do not belive these to be required.
I don't cook roms or anything like that so I'm not an expert, but since you could find your neighbors router but not yours why don't you post your brand and type of router and see if anyone can find a link.

This is an internet forum. People can't spell and they certainly don't know what "[sic]" means.
I would suggest comparing the values in the following registry key, between the working and non-working ROM's:
[Mobile Device\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms]
There may be a setting in there that is causing the conflict (or the driver revision used, check version/datestamp/filesize of TNETW1251.dll between working/nonworking)
For example, on my HP IPAQ hx4705, if I set HTCPowerMode to 2, on my old wifi router I would get random disconnects etc. - setting to 0 (which uses more power) fixed those problems right up. I no longer have these issues after upgrading my router.

VJ – check your power save mode on the ROMs that work. Read somewhere that it needs to be on best performance to work on some ROMs. Hope this helps.
I am surprised you are blaming the ROMs you flashed for your problem as all the threads for those ROMs do not have anyone flagging wireless as a problem with a flood of others agreeing with them. I myself flash almost all new ROMs posted on the Kaiser ROM Development forum and with an exception of one ROM (which is now fixed) all work with my Wireless at home and at work. Try a different radio as suggested before (take note on people discussing the radio versions in those specific ROM threads) and defiantly try somewhere with a wireless hotspot.
One BIG question: How did you reset your wireless router? I ask because it sounds like it is not releasing new IP addresses. You have flashed new ROMs which will clear the original IP thus requesting a new one from your router.
i have also been having problems with my wifi on the secure network at my house. my hermes connects just fine i have flashed it at least 50 times. but my tilt can only connect to secure wifi on the roms that use the radio 1.64.xxx and lower of course there are not many secure routers for me to test on.

ok with hyperdragon III last rom i can find my house's wifi again trying to find the drivers to compare size and replace l26 v9 to see if it works. any know were i can find total commder so i can enable hidden rom files?

GPS problem with cooked roms

This is usual thread all over net..
I have problem, a big one... Every cooked rom I have tried works great but GPS dont work. Fix takes 15 - 20 min quickgps updates normaly but no fix... with original rom and quickgps updated fix is under 30sec but i have problem with touch screen on original ROM. so i have spend 15 days of experimenting, flashing various roms, radios but no luck....
interesting is that when i connect external gps antena with amplifier i get fix around 1 - 2min.... then it works with integrated, but 2 hours later same problem...
Kaiser130 is my device
tried roms: shifu v1 & v2 basic & full, Dutty's WM6.1, REV_ROM_V8, SimpleOsManila, AtheneOS....
also i have tried exporting registry branch from original rom for quickgps and copyed quickgps files over but no luck.
no luck
I have used almost all of these roms and my lock is in 2-3 minutes. 1st, make sure you are using the recommend radio. If you use the wrong Radio, you will never get a lock. Also make sure it is not just your area; if there are only a few sat's then the GPS module in the phone will take for ever for a lock.

C'Mon dude really... 3rd post and you come out dropping bombs like "every" and "it's the usual" and "a problem... a big one"
I have used many different ROMs here too and have not had a single issue with GPS working!
I think "every" and "usual" is disrespectful to the cooks here and that your issue is likely hardware (hence your comment about it working w/ an external ant) or possibly between the screen and the seat
have you tried gpstest to check your com ports and then set it manually?
I also had the same issues
already changed the com port and radio from 1.65.16.25 until 1.70.19.09 (KAISER Radio)
As u see raf1987 has same problem as me, yesterday I have tried original HTC WWE 6.1 rom but with same result.
I dont mean to disrespect cooks, and dont see what is problem with me having 3 posts??
k2rolla503 Yes I have tried gpstest, nonigps plot.... they find satelites but no fix 1 to 4 satelites all time but no fix.. signall strength is normal in all roms (graphicaly to me).
I too have the same problem.
I find the GPS fixes to be very flaky. I've used both the ROMs from Laurentius up through V10 and now using Phoenix II.3.
Laurentius ROMs I found I had much faster lock time if I downloaded the ephimeral file right before I used my GPS. We are talking 24 hours between uses. This could mean the difference between a 2 minute lock and a 20 minute lock. I've never gotten GPSTest to show me anything other than starting...
On Phoenix II.3, the ephimeral file only last for 3 days instead of 7 like Laurentius. Once I saw the fastest lock in my life ever on this ROM, it literally must have locked in 15-30 seconds. I have never seen it do that again. Currently it's taking me a good 10-20 minutes to lock on average. I have to start up my GPS 10 minutes before I go anywhere just to get it warmed up.
I've also tried fiddling with the assisted GPS setting on both ROMs. I found that with Laurentius the fix is slightly faster. On Phoenix I haven't noticed any real difference in getting a fix aGPS vs GPS. Nor do I find it assists in tunnels.
The only thing that really bothers me about aGPS is that I get that dialup connection dialog that says it fails to connect every time I use TomTom. I have to hit dismiss before it appears to start trying to get a fix. I've tried reapplying the connection settings for AT&T, that didn't seem to help much. It is super annoying.
In the end, GPS does work, but like the OP, I found that my fixes were consistently faster on the stock ROM than the cooked ROMs. I too mean no disrespect and I appreciate the hard work that goes in to each and every one of these ROMs even if I don't use them. I too like the OP just want my fix to be as fast as those claimed here and elsewhere. It can be frustrating to hear about these fast lock times and have to suffer with long lock times. It's especially annoying to me because I travel for business a lot and find that I am now nearly half way to my destination before I finally get a lock.
While I may not have many posts, I do follow these forums regularly. I hope that my input will be constructively used to find an answer if there is one to be found.
I have no issue using L26's TF3D V4, Athine OS Jan 22, Mbarvian Solace 1.5 and Josh' Revealed 21500. All has the GPS working fine. I'm not that particular that I measure individual response time.
As long as it locks within 1-2 mins (from nothing), it's ok to me.
hmm.... i think , i found the solution... don't know if it could work for others
now, I use PDA corner from Abusalza... with Radio version 1.70.xx.xx
so, after flashing your new rom... make sure you update the GPS support programs like quick gps , etc
then, execute your GPS program ( I use Garmin for this).. and make sure you are outside of your house, or apartment, or wherever..
the reason why my tytn II could not find satelites is because I did it in my house, did not think that outside my house could work (because my Trinity could detect satelites in my house without any support GPS program like quick gps)
then... your tytn II should detect the satelites and GPS is activated...
NB: sorry for my bad english

I am having the same problem. The original Three (Australian) ROM would get a GPS lock within seconds.Now, I take 20smins to get a lock.
ROM version: AthineOS WWE
ROM date: 1/22/09
Radio Version: 1.65.24.36
Protocol version: 25.94.40.06H
I have just used GPS test and the only thing I changed was the baud from 4800 to 9600. Will try it out later, but hope it works.
http://www.smartphone.net/software_detail.asp?id=3170
PS Most of us know that GPS works only if there is line of sight with the satellites, so yes, I am outside on cloudless days when I try to get locks.
PPS If it dont work, I might go back to official ROM. http://www.htc.com/au/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=13&cat=2&dl_id=342.
flash back to WM6.0, there are no problems with gps. every fix in 30 sec.
Hmm I would like to go back to 6.0 but my provider has only this rom 6.1 for download that has touch screen problem...
Any link to 6.0 WWE would be helpful
Found 6.0 sry.... ill try and post reply
Search the Wiki. There're links to various WWE versions.
Hmm, I wonder then what the difference is between 6.0 and the higher version that causes this inconsistency in locking. This would seem to indicate software issue rather than a hardware issue. I love the newer ROMs but the inconsistency or complete latency in getting a lock can be extremely annoying especially when you need a lock quickly.

I changed the baud from 4800 to 9600 and so far, the GPS locks within 30 seconds. I need further testing, but perhaps the default settings of the cooked ROMs is causing this problem?
I have tried and sucesfuly cooked ROM from stock firmware, added some apps, replaced buggy touch.dll so far so good ROM is 6.1 (WWE 3.31.xxx) using radio 1.65.20.15 i think.
Yesterday cloudy weather with rain i got lock within 4min cold start after flash, today morning warm start 2min (still cloudy no rain) and around noon no clouds got lock in 5sec.
Big THANX to SHIFU for help with dll
help with dll?
hi Vratko,
could you provide more info on the dll that u got helped with?? cos as u can see, lots of us are facing the same problems....even i have tried all sorts of ROM's and radios....yet no success in getting a quick lock...any specific settings to be done?? any
Hi,
I have different problem on GPS, I am using Garmin DK Series, dated 01/16/09. The problem is if use GPS for more then 10 min, back of the kaiser started to heatup, if I turn it off, after a while it is fine. Otherwise, it is detecting the GPS faster. I have downloaded QuickGPS & SeaSGEE.
Is anyone having these problem.
Thanks
Vratoko:
5s ????????????????????????? Please do enlighten us.
Newwonder:
Can you please provide SeaSGEE link. What does it do? is it like quick GPS?
