GPS isnt working, can anyone help? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi all!
Been all over the forum looking for a solution. From what I understand I think I have a faulty handset but it's just come back from from repairs (for other problems) with updated rom/radio. Seems a little strange as it was working before I sent it, now its not.... Same handset...
When I run Google maps and Waze they both see the GPS but it wont pick up any satellites...
Before you say it, i've tested this on the road, in a field .ect so it isnt the signal, tried setting it up manually in google maps, still no joy.
Am I going to have to be without my baby for another week?
Any advice would be welcome, thanks in advance

Hi mate...
I offer no helping hints.. but I got mine back from HTC HK for a shattered screen and had the same problem. I had to return it to HTC to fix, its been about 2-3 weeks and still no answer. They initially told me that its may be just the GPS or associated chip set wasn't plugged in properly... So they will fix it with out charge (incl. freight chargers)
So your not alone with this problem

Try gpstest free fom this page to just test your gps inpriciple excluding any other apps:

Thanks for the reply mate. Was beginning to think it was something i had done,
The main thing that baffled me was its the same even after a Hard reset and standard settings.
At least I know what I have to do. Cant believe I've got to send it off again..
Last time was for a faulty board, what next?
Back to the old Nokia 9500 then... Sigh...

Can someone please help with my Fuze?

I dropped my phone last night for only the second time in my nearly one year ownership, and (I can't confirm if it was right after) since then my WiFi is not working. When i open Comm Mgr the blue loading icon (NRG rom) spins and then nothing happens; the WiFi does not initialize.
Running EnergyROM, tried Leo and Phoenix2, reflashed radio, clean OS install, after customizations, etc. I can't seem to fix the problem, and I am saddened by the fact that I think that the drop somehow killed my WiFi (GPS, cellular radio all work fine). Is it even possible to knock out ONLY the WiFi radio?
Any suggestions, please? Thanks for the help!
try hard resetting or re-flashing a new/the same rom. if it's still a problem, then it's probably a hardware issue
Interesting
I brought my Touch Pro second hand and the wifi has never worked, when I first got the phone I posted something about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551634
it seems that it is a common hardware fault..
Sorry

Thanks Stuart, that really does infuriate me....Merry Christmas, huh?
Along with yourself, my phone was purchased second hand. Well actually, that's not entirely true; it was new but from an at&t user in the States who upgraded and sold for profit.
Anyone know if there is any recourse with the carrier if it has been under a year, given that I am not the person who purchased the phone?
Thanks,
Chris
Anyone? Please?
Not sure, you can try calling them.
I dropped my fuze in a sink full of water and about a week later my 3G stopped working. My wifi stopped working a long time ago as well.

Well - if you're not using AT&T as your carrier then my guess is that they're not going to do anything for you. What you might try is contacting HTC directly - perhaps it's still under a factory warrenty.

Thanx for your reply, but, as you can see in the original thread, I already tried it. Reflash rom, back to stock, reflash stock, back to current rom etc. etc.
Nothing worked yet.

Not to discourage anybody, but I don't think anyone can really fix this. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem (I have this problem on my Touch Pro too)

hello all,
as i said in the original post, mine started just like yours and now the bluetooth does the same. i heard that the same chip is responsible for both wifi & bluetooth its an IC or smthn, so whoever knows where we can buy this chip , plz post it here,cz there is no software solution its hardware 100% ty
@ OP
The Wifi sometimes doesn't work because of the same " Microp" error . Follow the guide and see if it works for you.
DISASSEMBLING your device will be different from this guide , find a video tut on Youtube .
Disconnect and reconnect everything back and hopefully everything will be straightened out.

Best of luck !
im not gonna do it
i wanted to try it but i dnt have the right tools to remove those screws and i dont want to ruin them lol , if it works with anyone il send mine to some cellphone shop and he will do this work for me , il tell him the technique lol .
cz we dnt have HTC spare parts in here , so hope this works
thanks man btw
Hello,
I've got the same wifi-wont-turn-on problem since a coulple of months. I already tryed several radios and roms but without any succes.
Today I disassembled my phone, unplugged then plugged many times the mother boad, but the problem is still here
I know my phone fell on the floor someday, but I'm not sure that's why the wifi won't work anymore.
I have got the same problem bluetooth works fine but wifi dont
Bad news
my bluetooth used to work fine 2 , but then it died just like the wifi so get ready to lose it my friend
I had something like that with my Blue Angel, i was clicking on wifi in connections but nothing was happening. i was always fixing it with starting it from the wireless lan settings (where u set energy or quality). u can choose to start it from there (on the first screen). i was doing it few times and either was starting, either i was going back to connections again and start it from there and then it worked normaly. was some problem with the blue angel itself. i have no idea if this might help but u can at least try, just click both buttons few times and fingers crossed

Have you installed a program that could trigger the reboot? Maybe try a hard reset times when nothing else helps ...
HI, i tried removing all the software that i installed before, and i also tried doing th hardSPL. but problem remains .

HI,
Are you sure that new battery will solve the problem? actually have have gone through a couple of blogs and problem solving discussions over internet and they say that even the battery is replaced, the problem still remains. i am still not sure what the problem is
man your English is Excellent , i am from Sweden, happy neighbor
I've heard that's there a problem with some sim, but it seems that it won't happen randomly then. In this case (some new sim from swisscom), the Touch2 won't turns on.

I had the problem and I logged a problem ticket with HTC Service center at Malaysia..
Subject: HTC Touch2 Self-Power Off intermittently and unable to power on again via the Power button.
Desc: My Touch2 was purchased on 16-Nov 2009. It experiencing intermittent self-power off problem when phone was left ideal for couple of second! Secondly, the phone was intermittent "freeze" when charging with power adapter. For both cases, the phone cannot be turn on via the Power button. Must perform manual Reset to power on the phone each time. I performed FACTORY Reset 5 times already; disabled the Touch2Flo; disabled ALL auto power off.. yet it did not resolve the problem. [ROM Version: 1.28.707.3 (66092); Radio Version: 3.49.25.05; Protocol version: 61.42t.25.31H]
The service center called and they offered to change the motherboard. I had it changed unfortunately the problem still persist. And worst still the touch screen didn't not respone after a while. I sent to fix and waited for another 2weeks, and changed the 2nd motherboard. I'm been using the repaired phone for past 2monts WITHOUT any intermittent power off issue.. YIPPI!
P/s: My batt Serial No: 1GKA299KQQ4912. Part No: 35H0015-11M. The HTC repair report did not mentioned whether they change my batt nor I cannot confirmed whether it was the "-07M". Anyway, I'm glad that my nightmare is over for now
gooddd
Hey good that you fixed it somehow. At the time i was having that turnoff problem thing, i really felt like ****, but after reading your message, i feel better off
I start to hate HTC. %80 o HTC having same problem around
Yeah man...so truee...But after battery replace, it works perfect

[Q] Delayed Emails

I sometimes see mail arrive at my Gmail Apps account and it doesn't get delivered to the phone for more than an hour. Nomally it's pretty much "push". Is this just 'how it works'? :-(
Stock T-Mobile UK ROM: 1.47.110.3
Connected via WiFi (good signal and on 30Mbps cable connection)
Using stock GMail (not HTC) app on the phone
Hmm can't say I've any probs ...they mostly hit my phone before the PC even notifies me of them

No, mine's near enough instant! (just tested it again to prove it)
although I'm on a lower build than you (1.36), although should be moving up soon.
with Gmail version 2.3.5 2549Kb
That was also on wifi.
Ah. Was on 2.3.4.1, having updated it from the market a while back, Market 'forgot' to tell me there was a further update. Gawd this phone is soooo unreliable in sooo many areas. I just never know what's going to stop working next requiring another restart. All-time longest uptime before requiring a restart to fox something or other I've discovered by accident isn't working properly is a little over 5 days. Complete poo, not really fit for purpose IMHO, and big mistake I'm now stuck with :-(
Anyway, thanks, will try that and thanks for the pointer

Either you have a massive dud unit, or it's about time that you took the chance and moved to a custom ROM.
I've has this phone since April and have the exact opposite opinion! I've used LBC Mod since it was first available after I S-OFF'd and rooted my phone, I have tried the other ROMS all of which offer different things, depending on what you're looking for, but, for me coming from a WM Sense background I'm very happy with a "working" close to stock ROM that's stable reliable and ideal for daily use.
I'm also on T-mobile UK. Happy to point you in the right direction - if needed.

Really, trolling? I have a genuine problem and got some genuinely good advice that may lead to solving it. Good on this forum!
... and I genuinely feel like hitting this phone with a hammer once in a while. So that comment was an attempt at some humour to lighten the mood. Sorry you were not amused.
I do find it interesting when some people find it offending in some way when someone is negative about their fav product - that's the whole "Apple fanboy" mentality isn't it? In another thread entiled "Lucky to have the Desire S" others have said I've just been very unluckly with this phone - and maybe that's the case...
When one has a problem, simply think OH NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM, STORY OF MY LIFE, WHAT A WORLD, NOTHING EEEEHHHH-VERRRR GOES RIGHT FOR ME.
When some simple steps and questions could be bring upon the holy grail.
1. When was the last time my application was working properly?
2. What has changed since said period of time the email was working properly?
3. Is there a way I can go back to said period of configuration and see if it will work efficiently?
3a. After reverting back to said period of time, has this resolved my problem?
4. Is it a software modification that was made that could be causing this problem?
5. Is it a external source that could be causing my problem?
6. Is it a network issue with my service provider?
7. Is it a issue with my modem that I am connecting to?
The list could go on and on, but my eyes are rather dry, and I need to do a few things for tomorrow.

S7 keeps freezing and restarting

Hi Guys /girls.
Just got an S7, brand new on O2 (UK). I usually root my phones but haven't touched this as it's quick enough and I don't want to play around with it until the warranty ends.
In the past few days the phone has been freezing, then it will turn off, sometimes restarting entering a bootloop. It will come back on for a minute or two, then repeats.
At the moment it is working following a forced restart but not sure if this will last. Has anyone else had these issues? Or does anyone know what it could be? Going to get it swapped anyway just to make sure but I can't understand the cause. Thanks in advance
Had the same issue this moth, send it to warranty it will only be worse over the days. Samsung replaced my mbo and now everything is ok
Getting worse.... Trying to get it sorted with O2 is an absolute joke, their customer service is disgusting. Been into two stores and on the phone to them twice and they're not simply swapping it for me.... I haven't even had the device three weeks

Are you using anything the same as with the last one, like a MicroSD card or headphones etc?
Anything that is common between the two phones?
Same app that might be doing it? Maybe a restore from a Google backup when you first boot up reinstalling a buggy app?
Did you upgrade firmware to the latest version? It might be a software bug.
Seems fine now cheers guys. Auto frmware updates (x2) were done last night....must have been a one off. Definitely won't be rooting this device like my older phones!
