What affects the GPS?

I've been using CM7 on my phone for about a month and i really liked it but the GPS didn't seem to work very good.
Today I wiped my phone and installed CoreDroid 6.3 but the home and search button are not working (My phone is still using the CM7 Kernel so could that be the problem?) so I'll either try and fix it or flash a new rom (most likely LeeDroid). I am tempted to just flash the stock rom back on it and reroot the phone because I love the HTC Camera.
What would affect the GPS on the phone? Is it the ROM that would affect how well the GPS works or the radio?

There are quite a few things, the basics being Radio, RIL(Radio Interface Layer), and the settings on the phone, such as the NTP connection. I have found that using the updated AT&T RIL and Radio with CM7 gives me like stock GPS. Full and quick locks. Like under 10 seconds (after the initial 45 second lock). At least, that is my experience.

Can you post a link to the updated AT&T RIL and Radio? There are a ton of radios and I'm not sure which one is the right one.
I restored CM7 so it's on my phone again.

Try Angel Death's GPS files for whatever region of the states you live in (Northwest, Southwest, etc) I have CM7, and without it, the gps is so-so. With it, I can get a lock of 2m within 10-15 seconds, without use wireless networks enabled.

Thanks!
I installed the file for my region so hopefully that helps out.
I'd still appreciate the links to the updated AT&T RIL and radio so I can flash a new radio to my phone.

Here's the link to the radio. Use the one in the second post.

Both flashes worked fine.

CyanogenMod 7 Radio

I am having trouble finding a radio that works with this ROM.
The main problem I am having with the radios that I have tried is:
Weak WiFi signal and GPS not connecting fast enough or not connecting at all.
So could someone please recommend to me a radio that they have working well with this ROM.
Thanks.

What radio are you running currently?
What RIL are you using?
Have you tried "double-flashing" the radio/ril?
Have you rebooted at least twice after radio-related changes?

Look at post #1 of the Inspire Radio Thread in the dev section. It has instructions on how to check the RIL on your phone, and links to matching RIL's for various radios, including yours.

I've been having this same problem aswell, I have yet to figure it out, and I don't think anyone here knows the solution. I start to wonder if HTC has more than one wifi antenna going around. Or maybe something is just wrong with ours.
The only thing though is, it only does this with AOSP roms, sense roms are just fine. I say give one a shot.

Dont know why so many are having problems with radio's.. I have flashed all nightlies with no changes to radios or ril and everything works great....just have always done a clean install and all is good...........

...I've flashed kernels that were less than optimum for WiFi...try flashing a different kernel?

Me neither. Seems like someone's always having some sort of problem. I have the feeling the common denominator may be your last sentence.... Clean install.
I think a lot of people are looking for some magical power to give them super ultra lightning fast data speeds and 1/2 second gps lock times with 1/2 meter accuracy. Or something.

[Q] July Baseband/ Custom Rom/ Instant GPS

Hello All
I Recently updated my baseband after much frustration with GPS and pleased to say i now have GPS instant locks. real instant locks 1-2 Second. Now, I am really wanting to flash a custom rom w/out losing my current GPS state. Can anyone confirm that has done the same thing (updated baseband and achieved instant locks) That after you flashed a custom rom you still have instant GPS locks? and which Custom rom you flashed? Thank you in advance EVERYONE.

You can flash a stock 2.3.3 based ROM, and GPS will work perfectly.

I'm running Gigglebread, which can be found on RootzWiki.
I've never experienced an issue with it, and GPS locks are pretty good. I average 14-16 hours of battery life @ 1.2GHz OC with -100 mV underclock with Faux123 CM Kernel.
For a stock based ROM, I would recommend Tsugi's 2.3.4 ROM.

Thanks for your reply. I ran tsugi previous to updating my baseband and yes tsugi was great. Does it not matter that it is stock 2.3.4? And not 2.3.3 based. Gps wise?

Nope, it's all based of stock ROMs.

12/26 update- I ended up reflashing weapon 3.0 (rom i had previous to Tsugi) I ran that the longest of any rom, i really liked the functionality of it: fast, quick panel toggles etc were super useful. only problem was GPS. After update/re-root/re-flash of weapon. I am excited to say still have instant GPS locks!! YAY. Thanks FatalityBoyZahy for helping me decide whether i should do it or not

I'm so glad I found this, cuz I'm xtremely satisfied with weapon 3.0 and dont wanna go back to stock,,,,
So just to recap a bit, you went back to stock, updated baseband, reflashed weapon and all is good? when you reflashed did your wipe cache & dalvik and format sys?
And also, are you having any problems with usb not mounting extrl sd to computer?

Yes. I was running tsugi, then updated baseband, reflashed CWM using NV flash, Rooted using JBoxer posted root.zip, then reflashed weapon, before flashing I followed whitehawks directions in OP: I wiped/ data factory, wiped system. Then flashed the rom, Everything runs perfect as it did before only now I get instant gps locks, data, wifi, mounting ext and int sd works perfect as it always did. Hope that helps

Now an even more stupid question. I have service through Cincinnati Bell... if I want to update my baseband, do I need to find a special file? Or will the July basebanf thread work? Is that baseband file specific to T-Mobile ?
If I need a specific baseband for Cincinnati Bell, would anybody know where.to go for that information? It seems that the.Cincinnati Bell G2x users are an ultra small group .. so threads are limited.
Thanks in advance.

I updated my baseband and now every ROM I've run has almost instant GPS locks. Granted, stock and 2.3.3 based roms like weapon and Tsugi or even Baka get quicker fixes, but to me, you can't give up the added functionality of CM roms like eagles or Phoenix blood. Flashing any other rom shouldn't alter your baseband at all. The new baseband in conjunction with apps like GPS fix and faster fix should add up to almost instant locks on any ROM.

Thanks. Ive actually ran those mentioned roms and gps fixes (when I was on old baseband) for me personally they had too many bugs in the features I used most. Great roms nonetheless, just lacked in areas I needed. Weapon s works perfect for me. I understand roms do not change baseband, I was just curious as to if it affected the gps functionalityThanks again for your suggestion s

Well I suppose that is why we have a recovery Nvflash.. I'm gonna give it a shot and see what happens.
I'll let you know and then we'll have the answer to whether basebands are carrier specific.
I would sure love to have GPS locks... on average it takes me over 10 minutes to get a lock. GPS status shows that I see and am using 5 or 6 satellites .. but when I open maps... it just takes forever to get a lock.
Lets see what happens ........

Stock and CM7 based roms mount the internal and SD card differently. You will experience problems if you install applications to your SD card on one type of rom and move to another. Changing the mount point manually (editing vold.fstab) will fix some of the problems (ie. your programs will launch properly) but will disable USB mass storage as the rom will try to mount the wrong (virtual/)directory to the USB path.
This is just from my own experience going between EaglesBlood(CM7) and Weapon(Stock). I'm not an expert at this but I tried five or six different changed to the vold.fstab and couldn't get everything just right after switching from EB to WG2x.
Anyways, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a way to make the current structure of your internal/external storage work with a new structure, and have USB mass storage functionality. I just haven't found it.

Very brave! I would have done it in your position too. Instant Gps locks was a must for me. Looking forward to the update. I'll be praying for a good turn out

Flashed following instructions ... it appears the basebannd was not cell provider specific. Or, if it is, entering the apn information straightened it out. I have the July 15th baseband and my phone still works.
However, it makes no difference in my GPS locks. They are still slow. Maybe I will edit the GPS configuration file as mentioned in a couple other threads.. and see if that coupled with the new baseband will improve it.
If you care at all, I will post an update.

Absolutely I'm always open to learning. Thanks for your update. Have you tried gps running stock? Immediately after updating baseband, our did your just reflash weapon immediately to test run gps?

Did.not test run ... immediately reflashed...
However, in the GPSconfig file I disabled the wifi wiper (very bottom of file, change value from 1 to 0) and I had instant GPS locks.!!!
I mean instant.... less than 5 seconds. May be a fluke so I'm gonna drive around and periodically open maps to see how long it takes to lock in.

Absolutely made a huge improvement. Once I made that change to the gpsconfig file, I have had GPS locks in less than 1 minute.

[Q] GPS problem with InsertCoin 3.4.6-Test

When I try to use GPS with google navigation it takes what seems like forever for the phone to "search for GPS" and usually never finds it. If i'm on the road and hold down the magnifying glass button and say navigate to wherever, it takes so long to find GPS that it's not even worth it. Anybody experience this or know how to fix it?
Thanks

And if I wanted ICS I would have downloaded it but I don't. In my opinion it's still too early to convert to ICS so I prefer 2.3.5. Therefore buddy you didn't even make an attempt at answering my question, just spamming my thread.

Have you tried the various gps/agps fixes? When I was on GB, I was using crypted's fixes. I usually download the google one and delete any suplerootcert files.
Also kernel's don't play well with gps. I always defaulted to the default kernel the rom had. In my experience, faux always borked my gps and bricked worked for a little while, but I always reverted back to the bundled kernel or stock one.

No I haven't tried any of the GPS fixes, I'll have to browse around for them. Any idea where I could find them? I may just need to revert to stock, I've been running bricked and I've really liked it but I'm getting bogged down now for some reason. Thanks for the info.

Thank you to the developers of MR3

I wanted to thank the developers of MR3 in this thread. Liquid, Jester, etc.
I'm a long time lurker of this forum since I got my Thunderbolt. I'm VERY VERY appreciative of the developers for creating a very functional ICS rom for the Thunderbolt. Shame on HTC and Verizon for sandbagging so long with what should be a very simple upgrade for them. I was running Thundershed for awhile but grew tired of the Gingerbread look and feel of Android. My friends all mostly have newer phones with ICS, and I couldn't believe that it was supposed to be out in August and it's now mid-October and it's still not out.
To my surprise, I log on to here and see that an ICS ROM had been released.
My only issues with this ROM are random restarts and the white screen error in Facebook/Gmail/etc. I don't really use the video camera much in general; could you use an aftermarket app, or is it broken period?
Otherwise, I absolutely LOVE this and will never go back to Verizon's bloated software. Even when an OTA is released with ICS I won't go back. My phone is running much faster and much better than with Sense and Gingerbread. With data off I had a 10% decrease in battery in 7 hours; with data on and normal use I'll get maybe 5 hours out of a charge on this ROM. About normal for this phone and it's absolutely terrible battery life with the stock battery.
I have it overclocked to 1.5ghz running interactiveX as my governor. It runs beautifully, other than those two minor issues I pointed out above. I haven't experienced any data drops or anything out of the sort like that.

I second this thread.
A major thanks goes out to all of you who develop, in any way, for the Thunderbolt community. This even includes testers.
To answer your questions...
The video and front camera are broken even with an aftermarket app and will remain broken, most likely, until Verizon releases the OTA. From the OTA, our awesome developers will then be able to fix camera issues and many other issues that will make their ROM's 100% stable.
Also, if you get random reboots, you may want to flash to a different radio.
If you are currently running the OTA radios from the 2.11.605.19 software and still get these reboots, try flashing the combo radio and hopefully the reboots will vanish or, at least, happen less often.
If you go to your settings, about phone, software information, more, and look at the baseband version...
If the numbers you see are:
1.49.00.0406w_1, 0.01.79.0331w_1
Then you are on the OTA 2.11.605.19 radios, which is my recommendation for the radios to use with this ROM. If these are the radio numbers you see, try the combo radio. If the numbers you see under your phones baseband version is not:
1.49.00.0406w_1, 0.01.79.0331w_1
Then it may be:
1.48.00.0930w_3, 0.01.78.0916w_3
If it is:
1.48.00.0930w_3, 0.01.78.0916w_3
Try flashing the 2.11.605.19 OTA radios found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605557
If you have the 2.11.605.19 radios, though, try flashing the combo radio found here:

Definitely want to ditto this thread. Thanks for continuing to support the Thunderbolt. I was on the verge of retiring the Thunderbolt. ICS has brought new the Tbolt new life though!

thanks for the links. I'm going to try upgrading tonight and see if that helps. I notice you flash the radio in hboot. If I do a nandroid backup, does it also backup the radio (so I can restore it)? Or if I **** up, will it be permanently bricked?

Ditto to all that has been said. Thank You to all who made this happen, including HTC and Verizon. Their inaction drove me to decide to root and find alternatives. I've been incredibly pleased with MR3.
Thanks all!

If you backup that ROM after flashing the radio, it will back up the ROM. Hboot is a whole different thing than the recovery. That radio is downloaded to the phone and will automatically run on any ROM after its downloaded, even if you start from scratch. But flashing any of those two radios will not brick you on any ROM. Worst case being you won't have signal or data until you flash different radios again.
Say if you upgraded to the newer radios, and then you flash a ROM based on an older software version, you won't brick. In fact, you may not ever experience any issues. Maybe just signal changes or random signal drops.
But no, it won't brick you. It's almost impossible to brick a Thunderbolt.
I recommend after flashing the new radios, immediately go and either change the name from PG05IMG to something custom, move into a different folder that's off of the root of the SD card, or just delete it once flashed.
This is for in a such case where you need to get back into recovery from hboot, it won't prompt you to install the radio again. Because if you had to get into recovery from hboot, it wouldn't allow you to since it runs a check for the PG05IMG files first... and with that being said... I was always told to never flash the same radio twice without changing to a new one first.

i dont' see why these ROMs get so much acclaim... when i tried LiquidSmooth it wouldn't stay connected to the Internet. tried to toggle wifi and 3G/4G. nothing works and i have to reboot the phone every time i want to use the Internet.
Liquid MR3: the setup crashed and now the ROM won't even come all the way up...
unless my phone's broken or something (going to Verizon tomorrow to reflash and check it), i say they're both absolute garbage. i've had much better luck with ROMs on other phones.

the first time i flashed it, i cleared /data after the flash before i brought the OS up, but you've included the launcher as a user app and not a system app. was this intentional? a user could easily screw up by uninstalling the launcher and have no way to interact with the OS. shouldn't there be a default launcher embedded in the system programs?
i'm an Android dev, but my understanding of system development is limited, but if i'm not mistaken, any Android ROM should come with a default launcher that is not uninstallable and has no icon as a backup launcher just in case.

He did install it that way so if the user wants to install their own launcher and remove the default. Its simple to make the new one a system app. All that has to be done is move the apk to /system and it is uninstallable.
