I've been experimenting with GPS the past few days, and was usually able to get a lock within a minute or so using QuickGPS and VisualGPSce. I am also using Tomtom Navigator 6 when I am in my car.
Just this evening I decided to see if a new radio would give me better performance, so I flashed 1.08.25.20M1 to replace 1.02.25.32 which came with my Fuze. Now I can't get a GPS lock at all no matter what. Thinking that 20M1 might just be bad for my area (North Texas) I decided to try 1.02.25.28 but that wouldn't lock either. Frustrated, I flashed back to 1.02.25.32 and now that won't lock.
What is going on?? I am running PROven 1.11 with aGPS disabled and using COM4. Thanks
Try setting both ports to "none" get a lock with google maps. Then change back to com 4 and open ttn7. PS make a couple minute phone call before trying to lock. Try these things and let me know if any success.

My problem is not the lag or connecting. But its staying connected. I use quick gps, then gps test, then I start up my gps program. I use TomTom, Garmin XT, and tested out google maps. When I connect the gps will work then it drops signal and garmin say lost gps signal. I have turned on gps test and all other programs off to see what happens and it drops signal and says looking for gps unit. Then it starts and drops. I tried soft reset and it happened again. I'm still messing with it to see if I can figure it out or if it is the phone. Does anyone know if there is some kind of software conflict or if something is causing the error. I have tried the gps programs with my bluetooth gps unit I use to use on my 8525 and it worked great. I really want to get this GPS working and be a little more reliable because this is one of the main reasons why I bought this phone.
AGPS is disabled?
No agps is enabled
Does anyone have any idea why this is occurring or anything I can try. I have updated to the latest garmin but it still doesn't work properly. I can connect sometimes and use the gps. But when trying to reconnect it gets satellites then drops them. On gps test it shows 3d like 8 satellite bars and saying starting gps then losses everything and says looking for gps then does the samething again over and over.
I still have a lag problem but:
Check that AGPS is off (Adv.Config. 3.3 is your friend)
Set polling through the COM interface to a lower speed (4800/9600/19200 max.)
Use GPS test
GO OUTSIDE
WAIT
I got lock with ANY radio though it may have taken up to 5 mins.
I get a lock but then it will lose signal. Or if I turn the gps off and try and lock on later it keeps cycling between looking for gps and gps starting but doesn't go to gps running just goes back to looking for gps
I have the same exact problem. Gps test will connect, then quickly lose connection. Tomtom and garmin will get a signal for a few seconds and then lose connection. This is all outside with a clear view of the sky. I've tried two different fuze's with multiple roms and radios and the problem is still there. I finally got fed up and went back to my e71. This is ridiculous in a $500 phone..
I was thinking about returning it but I did a search and I noticed this is a common problem. I thought it was mainly lag but I see there are several problems with this gps. That sucks because I was really looking forward to the internal gps coming from the 8525/herms. If I really need to get somewere I sill have to carry my bluetooth gps reciever. I 'm going to try some of the tweaks people have suggested and see if it helps.
I haven't used my GPS a ton, but the little I have, it has worked, as long as I am in the car or outside. When I am in the house, it rarely finds a signal. I think that the GPS radio is pretty weak, though generally you don't need GPS when inside of a building.

You mean NO lag?
Isn't GPSLOG = 0 disabling logging? BTW I also changed the registry using adv.cfg. to go to the SD card, not device

finally a thread about exactly my problem, you are not alone... im going to try disabling AGPS and logging, but i have in the past to no avail.... i have done a hard reset since then.
very annoying for such an expensive device
Okay, so heres the problem...
I flashed this rom: [ROM][WWE][04-8-2009][ShEp's Rom Ver 3c][WinMo 6.5][Build 21500V2][TF3D RhodiumV1d]
And after that, I flashed the Raphael 1.12.25.19 Radio.
Everything works on my phone except GPS, for some reason when it tries to use the GPS it goes to the cannot connect screen. it shows Dialed:
I currently have ATT and turned off the internet service with AdvancedConfigTool. I don't know if this is the problem.
Thanks
Do you have AGPS turned on or off? It might be trying to connect to teh ATT network to use the A-GPS but is getting shut down by your internet not working.
Does the GPS eventually connect, or not at all?
some snapshots would be great
I disabled for my Fuze to connect to the ATT internet using AdvanceConfigTool. When GPS tries to work, the Dialed screen comes up and...
Dialed: (Blank)
That's it. In the settings it says A-GPS is on. I'm using Wifi btw.
Can anyone help me...

Disabling the AGPS worked for me. I just kept loosing GPS connection when it was enabled.

What program are you using?
You need to turn AGPS off. As far as I know, there is no way to use AGPS over WiFi. You will need to disable it in order to stop the pop-up.
[Q]GPS realy not working.
So, 1st post for me, same problem so i didn't want to open a new thread.
*Not HTC Fuze, but Touch Pro, Raph100, anyway same device.*
GPS, COM4, 4800, auto location on, agps on, does not lock.
Neither on gpsinfo, google maps, igo 8, htc gps tool. It just keep on searching, and showing lots of text in gpsinfo and htc gps tool, but no lock (left it at least 20 mins at the window).
Tried with quickgps, location set correctly, same result. I have stock battery.
ROM: EnergyROM 'Phoenix 2' (21885) |Dec 21
Radio: 1.14.25.05, same on 1.12.25.19.
Didn't test the gps on the original rom because the first thing i did when i put my hands on this phone was to change the rom
No warranty for this phone, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I just don't know what to do anymore.
up? problem still in place, any help appreciated
I have the same problem. same rom and same phone ie raphael and energy rom 24 dec. i used these tweakings but no use http://blog.mohdimran.com/htc-touch-pro-gps-problem-tweaking/
a help will be appreciated. i m about to try a stock rom.
Maybe post a reply if it solves your problem
up? not solved..
Try different Radios
It happen to me a long time ago a pair of times and now is back (thats the reason I found this post), first be patience a lot.
It seems to me like Radio problem, meens not every mix of roms and radios work nice with GPS and depends too wich country you use the GPS. So let's try and give enough time sky open to build the database and get first fix. Quick GPS can help (keep udated).
Like I said before I'm facing it right now I flash a new ROM and Radio problems began (Included so long to connect a voice call, fail data service, low bars on signal level, etc.) So I try 2 radios now first fix all except GPS the second I can get GPS fix but takes about 15 minutes every time so I will keep on trying I will tell my results.
just in case you can solve it let me know please.
My gps started out working great. I got it on launch day. Then it started seeing plenty of satellites (8+) in gps test but wouldn't use them no matter how high the signal was. Now it only reports for a second and stops updating. For instance, It will view 1 satelite. The signal will go to 15 or so and then nothing changes. I've tried reinstalling gps test in case that was the problem. It still only sees one satellite for a moment and then it appears to freeze. I can't get a lock in maps, even if I leave it on for a half hour. Is there some kind of gps reset or maybe a software cache that should be cleared? It just seems to be frozen or something.
When i had GPS problems on my Nexus one , i rebooted it , or just simply turn off phone and back on.
Thanks for you're advice, but unfortunately I tried that all ready.
What is usual expected time to get GPS lock in such situation.
My mobile network is off, so no A-GPS.
ROM: Sense-o-Maniac-DeSense v1.1
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-Bricked v1.5
Could not get lock today for over 10min, than i just switched GPS off.
The night before, while on wifi it took me about 5 min to get coordinates.
Switched back to HyperSensarion, with bricked kernel, now o have GPS lock without sky view in a matter of 5 sec.

Acquiring a GPS lock depends on a few things, the rom your using, the radio, your phone (some just lock better than others) and your location.
Download clocksync (and sync it) Download faster fix (and set up your locale) then if you could get a lock prior to using these two apps, then stick with the radio your on, these should help with the speed of the lock.
Just try to re-connect.
Personally i connect anywhere from immediately to a minute, so i'm quite lucky.
It's usually pretty quick though.
My Lumia 800 connects straight away every time all the time Gr8 phone the Lumia.
PS: Oh and getting a lock on wifi is not a fair comparison to GPS.
Hope this helps.
Please someone tell the solution for gps issue. Whenever i start gps and open maps it works ok till here but once i start navigation to reach my destination this issue occurs and it saya searching for gps.
I was on cm13 for 2 mnths that too 2 mnths back and i received a jio sim which was not working on cm13 so i had to downgrade to cm11. When i was on cm13 gps was working great from the day i purchases device but one day i was in mumbai and was stuck in heavy traffic, suddenly gps started to show issues as i mentioned (was on cm13).
I came back to my place and flashed cm11(clean flash). But couldnt solve the issue for me.
I have tried all the apps suggested to calibrate gps but nothing worked, tried Agps cache wipe and then update it but still no luck. I have tried colos os as well but the issue persist there also.
Please suggest me a proper solution for this for cm11 as i am using jio sim and which is working on cm11 only for me, so i cannot flash another rom.
I am in hurry bcoz i have to drive back to another city so need my gps as i rely on it always.
1. ensure that you have KK firmware. It's there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/ref-oneplus-one-modem-collection-t2858734
2. Try using proper gps.conf (Fastergps in Google Play is UI for it. Specify your loc)
3. Install Statusgps and manually reset and download AGPS data. Wait for GPS lock then (can be around 5 minutes)
After AGPS download and first position lock, your GPS will remain in "Warm" state (instead of "Cold") and you will be able to fix in around 5 seconds.
"Cold" fix takes around 50 seconds to 3 minutes. It's my info, yours can be different.
After first gps lock, don't reboot your phone. Check GPS lock time at next day, it should be around 10 seconds (I have 5 sec). I use Status GPS to get lock time.
P.S. I was at vacation some week ago, and my GPS was broken also. It was very bad
