I can't get maps or anything else it seems to find my location when I am away from wifi. Maps just says my location is currently unavailable and everything else just seems to fail.. I am at a loss as to what could be causing this. Even switching on GPS maps still fails to locate me. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi I have a problem with my GPS and I blame it all on TomTom, not sure what has gone wrong...
I decided to try the TomTom software I got with the phone, since Google Maps felt somewhat limited. I installed it, downloaded the free city map and started the program.
It told me it couldn't find the GPS and after trying a few different settings I got it to work. But it didn't get a signal, so I decided to test Google Maps and see if it worked there. It didn't and same with WiFiFoFum, in WiFoFum it just says reconnecting.
I checked the assisted GPS software to see if I needed to update the data there to help the GPS along. There should have been downloaded data there, but there wasn't. When trying to update two things happen.
1) Connection failed
2) Download starts, reaches 100% and says "connection failed"
Since all this happen after I installed TomTom, I have now removed that software and re-booted my phone. Didn't help so I have been trying a few settings to see if I could solve the problem. I haven't managed so now I turn to this community.
So is there anyone who can help me out. The GPS is quite useful so I hate that I can't use it...
Thanks in advance!
Usually a soft reset will solve the problem.
Just to remind you that it can take more than 30 minutes (first time) before Tomtom get a fix.
Strange that it didn't work well for you, mine worked right away, but I didn't care for it...
On my Nexus One, when I was inside and couldn't get GPS lock, and also out of range of WiFi networks, Google Maps would still get a rough location based off the cell tower. It was good enough for the weather widget to get my current location and to use Google Maps to find stuff around me.
Now, on my Inspire (rooted with the Desired HD Euro rom), I can't do that. If I can't get GPS lock, and WiFi is off or I'm out of range, it just says my location is temporarily unavailable. It's not locating me from the cell tower like my N1 is. I have the option checked in the location settings to use networks, but it's still not working. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks.
I've found that it works on EDGE but not 3G, anyone else noticing this?
same
Somehow you fixed my problem on my HTC Inspire 4g, W Absolution 3.7 ROM.
I turned off 3g and went to EDGE, pressed the locate button on Google Maps..and TADA! I was pinpointed in seconds. After I turned back on 3g and it seems to work now. THANKS!
Hello,
I bought my phone since 1 week, and I see that my Wiget weather is 500 miles from my current place. I checked all my settings. tested only with wifi, only gps and only connection 3g but it is always the same. I also reset the device but still the same. I download the application "gps test", but he can not fix myself. Have you ever encountered this problem? if anyone has an idea I'm interested.
since installing cm10 i have had the wrong location for everything. i have recently upgraded all my routers/bridges to dd-wrt, and normally i would assume it is an isp/wifi/google issue. the problem is that my phone has the correct location when connecting to the same network. if i go outside, turn off network location and hook up with gps only then my location goes back to accurate in some apps. others apparently remember the network info.. did tons of searches with no help. really stuck on this one
I need to know if anyone else has experienced this issue. Essentially, I went out earlier in the day and used Waze in the background, and all was well. Came home, went out again and tried to use navigation on Waze about two miles from home and Waze still registered me as still at home. Weirded out, I went and used Google Maps, same issue, very large circle of possibility was present centered around my home address. It never recovered. I pulled over and used GPS Info app and noticed that it was able to "see" satellites in orbit, but unable to use any of them. A restart was able to recover the GPS. Has anyone else had this issue yet or is it just me?
I have this issue randomly as well, a reboot will fix it. It happened after a week of it being fine. Is this a software issue or should I RMA?
