So I just switched from the atrix to the inspire. I'm not rooted yet. But I'm in Kentucky and the phone is showing I am in Germany. With Gps enabled. Anybody got a clue why or how to fix it

That is strange. Maybe there's region setting in the navigation/maps application that you're using. Since you just bought it,maybe a hard reset will help? Let us know.
So I left my phone alone for a little bit (in at work) and when I checked it again the Gps was right. Hopefully it was a 1 time hiccup

I've been having major issues with the GPS on my Inspire. I've tried multiple fixes and methods of locking on, and still nothing!
But then today, I tried using that Google Car Home app that includes GPS that you eventually have to pay for (after the trial period is over). When I used that, I was able to navigate decently, still not great, but good enough.
I've tried checking to see if there were any updates for Google Maps or the navigator, and I supposedly have the latest.
Anyone else have similar problems?
Have you tried the GPS fix created by AngelDeath?

I've also used AD's fix and my results were great. I went from 3-4 mins for a lock outside down to 3-9 secs for a lock. I flashed the North America v1.0 zip since I travel a lot for work across country. I've only tested in my home area (Chicago), but from what I've read it works great everywhere else too.

Yeah I've tried that and I got the same results. The fact that the other GPS app was working fairly well leads me to believe the problem lies with Google Navigation...? It doesn't make sense why that would be messed up though. I've tried reinstalling it, I've tried stock, I've tried three different ROMs, still same results.

Is there a revert file for this fix? I tried it and my gps went from fairly good to pretty bad...

I think the only way would be to restore from a backup. I don't think AD has a revert.
I picked up my sensation today and I cant get an accurate GPS location. It tells me im a few blocks away even with WI-FI on.
Anyone else experience this?
Yeah mate, same here, my gps is stoned! I'm in France for work and last night I couldnt get my phone to tell me so! He thought I was in London.
I'm tempted to do a factory reset its so bad. I can't even navigate, it keeps loosing me.
Hope htc will addresses this in a firmware update.

This is my fourth Android device, and it certainly has something wrong with the GPS. I agree... It is getting a good satellite fix, but sometimes the location is off by several hundred feet - way beyond typical GPS errors.

My GPS seems to be working well. Or at least as well as my Nexus One and iPhone 4. (That's in Hong Kong and South China).
Mine works fine.

Dang (to put it mildly).
This is not the thread I wanted to see. I was out walking in NY yesterday and my Galaxy S again had me a block from my real location, with the compass spinning like a top. Few things piss me off at a phone more than flaky GPS when I really need it to work. I'm so hoping the Sensation will resolve this problem.
Please let these reports be some tiny minority, and fixable.
I drove in to work today (from Brooklyn to Manhattan), with the intention of testing the Sensation's GPS. The phone instantly picked up my location (GPS only, "use wireless networks" unchecked), and had the accuracy down to "within 50 feet" in a few seconds. During the drive, the only time it lost connection was when I was in the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel. I found the GPS performance identical to the MT4G, which was excellent. Plain and simple, the Sensation's GPS capability works as it should.
My gps works flawlessly...it's just you dude LOL no firmware update needed

I get nearly instant and incredibly accurate GPS lock, even inside my downtown apartment with tall buildings all around..even the compass feature is accurate indoors

Mine is flawless. I never have time to click "my location" in google maps it's so fast.
Looks like it's great for Yanks. Or maybe the T-Mobile version has better GPS? Pure speculation... just throwing it out there.
Mine is flawless. I never have time to click "my location" in google maps it's so fast.
After a factory reset, it seems to pick it up a lot better. I'll have to test while driving.
I have been dependent on GPS for years! Lol

My gps has had problems also. What I did was just turn off the phone and switch it back on. That has solved my gps problem.

I'm gonna replace it. I cant get any kind on signal with just GPS satellites and not from wireless networks.
Its really sad too because besides the gps this phone is flawless.
After having the Samsung Vibrant and all its gps woes I almost cried when it found me so fast within, seriously, like 10 feet of where I was standing in my house.
It's definitely a hardware issue. I'm about to replace it, ill update the post soon

Just got my phone and tested the GPS. It picked up my location (with no mobile data enabled) in about 15 seconds. That was outside though, I couldn't get any GPS signal while was inside the house, and GPS test app located only 1 satellite, too... My dell streak finds like 17 of them when I search =(.
My new phone is better but not as good as my G2. Navigation is exceptional.

My gps is kinda ****ty. I use My Tracks multiple times a day while riding my motorcycle. Ever since I got this phone it stops recording partway through my 20 minute commute.
I really hope its an easy fix. I love this phone so far but this is really a deal breaker. I use GPS a lot.
Just recently flashed BAMF GingerRemix 2.0.6, and noticed I no longer have 4G any longer at home (Mountain View, CA). I first thought my 4G was entirely gone on my phone with the new radio+ROM, but then it came back about 20miles away from home yesterday.
I'm currently sitting here next to another rooted Tbolt that has 4G, but mine is showing only 3G. I've tried toggling 4G on and off, but to no avail?
Any suggestions out there? Would reflashing the radio do anything? I was coming from Bamf1.7, but can't recall whether I had the same problem then.
Thanks for any help!
I have the same damn problem and can't figure it out!

Same here, just started today and if that weren't enough, for me anyway, The International Data Triangle popped on and I have no voice coverage. I flashed back to stock and got the voice back but the data drops in and out. I wondered if there is some sort of outage. Called in and NADA that they are aware of.
Weird.. Might have to send this one back. This will be the second time. PRL and Profile Update fails.
In Minneapolis/St. Paul Btw.
That's my same situation everything exactly its wrks better wen u unroot but rooted sux signal wise I thought I was the only one having this issue I wonder is it just our phones or did da update have sumthn 2 do with it?

Not sure. When I called Sprint, they checked the tower strength, Known issues in the area and found nothing. So they want me to stop into a store and have them look at it. I put the standard recovery back on and locked it back up. Wish me luck.

Maybe you were watching the local action at Jennifer's and something in your pocket activated the PRL by mistake? Wink wink.
what radio are you running? try flashing ke5
Yeah, on ke5. They did manage to fix it at the store by erasing some network stuff and reinstalling the ota latest update with their computer. Then they said blah blah blah. I told them thanks a bunch. We will see.

Sorry for the highjack, Snoopy. Let's get your situation fixed.
My nexus S keeps loosing its google sync even in great coverage (well great for ATT) and going grey.
happening to anyone else? Thought maybe there were some pre ICS server issues or something.
You're not low on internal memory are you? If you're at less than 40MBs or so that'll happen.
Not that i can see

I didn't figure that'd be the problem with all our internal space but worth a check. My wife had that problem a lot on her Evo 4G.
