GPS not working - TomTom screwed up my device

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...

HTC Fuze - GPS not working

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.

[Q] GPS issues on Skyrocket

Have any skyrocket owners run into issues with the GPS? Over the last few days I've found that the GPS radio is very hit or miss, & more often miss than not.
I typically leave the GPS radio off, enabling it when I need maps, navigation, yelp, etc.On my original GS2 this had worked without issue ... after turning on the radio I'd have GPS functionality within a few seconds.
On the sky, though, Google Maps, Places, etc report "waiting for location" for several seconds; then Maps times out with no result while Places errors out with the message "your different location is temporarily unavailable" ... this even after the GPS radio has been on for 30+ minutes! i've had this result whether I'm inside our outside.
Fwiw under location services I have UseWiFi OFF, Use GPS ON, & Sensor Aiding ON.

I should mention that SOME times out does work, though I've not found a pattern.doesn't appear to be battery related, since i've had it not work at full charge, then work later that day at 5% charge.
Too I downloaded the GPS Status app to directly see what result the GPS radio was returning ... that app shows the GPS properly returning a latitude & longitude, but then exciting the app & trying Maps still gets no GPS/location result.

I also get this issue, so is it a map issue or a gps issue? cause I will go down to ATT and return this *****.

My GPS works great locks almost instantly indoors or out. Infact its by far the best of any phone i've had yet.

I've been having the same issue. Mine has trouble locking my coordinates for minutes at times. I will run the GPS Test and it will look for towers for minutes at a time and it takes forever for it to update the clock and get a Long & Lat fix. To fix it, I have to toggle the GPS button and sometimes it works and other times I end up having to reboot. Yesterday while driving and using the maps, it lost the signal while enroute and wouldn't pick up another signal until I rebooted.

It's quite odd ... when I was traveling in Portland last few days, the GPS issues were often and persistent. Get back home to SF, and suddenly GPS has started working w/o issue, try as I can I can't get it to reproduce the problem now ???

I don't seem to have any issues with the GPS on my Skyrocket. It usually locks on within 10 seconds and is accurate.

Data connection lost during GPS nav?

Hello all,
I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this.
Randomly while using GPS navigation my phone will loose data connection.
Will still have signal just no internet.
Have to quit nav then re-enable data in settings and try again or reboot the device.
At the same time I have a sensation right next to me with no problems at all.
Also sometimes I notice if I drive thru a area with no coverage the phone wont get signal back on its own again also requiring a reboot.
An ideas?

I've seen that one as well among many other network issues in this phone.
Yet, in my situation both data and network will return if you wait some seconds/ minutes. No need for any intervention.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA

I have seen this as well, had to enter airplane mode to get the radio to reboot.

Whats weird I noticed too if not actively using GPS or streaming I don't have the problem.
Will make the 30 min trip home and not be singed out of talk and have good signal too.
On my next trip will try with searching directly thru maps rather then using shortcut and see if that makes a difference. Was on a short trip 2 days ago with another one of these of my friends and she didn't have the problem but I used shortcut and she did direct search. Only difference there.

This happens to me too :s

Just also tried doing a master reset and testing it without even signing into google account or any applications and it did the same thing.
Oddly enough I then signed in, downloaded slacker radio, speed test, battery notif, and telenav.
Over a 18 minute drive with streaming slacker music and navigation by telenav it worked ok.
Later on my way home I didn't have slacker running just Telenav over a different trip route about 16 minues and it happened again.
Just seems like anytime running GPS it will randomly loose data.
Turning off the GPS nav program for a minute gets data back again.

Are you using an EU based rom? I had that problem too with those on my US One S

Hey, I must admit GPS on mine is awesome, However i have one annoying bug...
When using google navigation, The maps fail to rotate towards the direction im in, For example, On any other sat nav, Me (the arrow) is always facing straight ahead.. With google navigation this doesnt work,
Earlier today i was driving but the map was upside down and because it was upside down, Left became right and vice versa.. It was a real pain in the ass.. and the volume is so quiet too, It took me 1hour to do a 20minute journey..
Someone tell me theres a solution to this, without having to pay for an alternative sat nav app

With mine I am running 100% stock. Didn't root, unlock, or make any modifications for it.
Really annoying.
It is very odd that for instance into work about a 30 minute drive it worked fine with streaming music no problem all the way in.
To another destination about18 minutes got about 10 minutes into the drive, music stopped playing 4g had a arrow stuck up and grey down arrow. With about a minute or 2 lost 4g connection and just bars. 4 minutes later no 4g back. Quit GPS Nav withing about 30 seconds got 4g back again.

I don't have the One S (yet), but if it's anything like other Android phones, you need to touch the compass icon (red and white arrows) on the nav screen to change modes.

Tested on way home with just on 2g only and didn't seem to have the problem that way.
But phone also didn't get as hot on 2g only even though was using GPS nav and streaming music.
Think I am going to call them on monday to see if I can get them to replace the phone.

Just stumbled across someone else that I know from school that has had the same problem with it dropping randomly with GPS use only.
No pattern as to a cause though.
Seems like I don't have this problem if I use 2g only though.

it really seems that in all communication issues we have with this phone, 2G is a solution, yet, it's slow and cannot provide data while speaking...

Old thread, I know. I'm experiencing something like this on my rooted 3G VZW Droid Incredible...
As of a few days ago, built-in Navigation app fails with "Data connection reset" (or maybe "Data connection lost"). I have rebooted phone, tried to get directions at different times of day, to and from different locations. Steps to reproduce-- start Navigation app. Enter destination. It shows map and my current (correct) GPS location in dimmed out map, while a "connecting" message appears on top. After about 60 seconds, voice says that data connection has been lost, and the spinner continues to spin indefinitely. If I exit that screen and try again, I get same results. I use Navigation 2-3 times per day, and it has worked well for the past 2+ years. This problem is very new. I have killed app and restarted, and I have hard-reset device and tried as well. Same results each time. I have not made any updates to the phone recently, and have not added any new apps. Based on the "data connection lost" message, it gives me the impression that the server side is hanging up on the request for directions. Or???

Serious gps issue

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
