What is usual expected time to get GPS lock in such situation.
My mobile network is off, so no A-GPS.
ROM: Sense-o-Maniac-DeSense v1.1
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-Bricked v1.5
Could not get lock today for over 10min, than i just switched GPS off.
The night before, while on wifi it took me about 5 min to get coordinates.
Switched back to HyperSensarion, with bricked kernel, now o have GPS lock without sky view in a matter of 5 sec.

Acquiring a GPS lock depends on a few things, the rom your using, the radio, your phone (some just lock better than others) and your location.
Download clocksync (and sync it) Download faster fix (and set up your locale) then if you could get a lock prior to using these two apps, then stick with the radio your on, these should help with the speed of the lock.
Just try to re-connect.
Personally i connect anywhere from immediately to a minute, so i'm quite lucky.
It's usually pretty quick though.
My Lumia 800 connects straight away every time all the time Gr8 phone the Lumia.
PS: Oh and getting a lock on wifi is not a fair comparison to GPS.
Hope this helps.

I a fan of O2 to be exact and first timer for MWG, looks like it is kind of dissapointing. Read on the site telling me about the GPS needing at most 15 mins to lock on, but it took me like forever and yet it is still not lock on. Worse is, I even hard reset the Atom thinking could be a software error, to my dismay it looks like it is something wrong with the chip. Called MWG today (singapore) looks like the after service is real bad. Put me on hold like forever. Anyone facing this problem on the GPS? hold I have a similar user out there.

same problem...................the gps need more than 2 hour to lock the satelite signal............help me please............
some tips on it
-the phone must have a working sim card on it, it boost the connection with GPS to satellite faster, the network dun have to be connected to data connection at all, just standby
-used the default GPS utility on the phone first before launching other navigation program, ATOM V has GPS TRACKING program, on it and wait for the status to be ready,
usually if the sim card with network standby mode will let the GPS module to connect satellite by 15mins or less, i got it connected by 2 to 5mins mostly
-everytime you remove your battery from the phone, it will reset the GPS module and requires you to do step 2 again!
if without sim card, it will require a longer acquiring time to satellite. but as long you do not remove the battery from the device, it will not be taking you a long time to connect to satellite.

Very nice tips............problem solved
Thanks bro..........
I've been experimenting with GPS the past few days, and was usually able to get a lock within a minute or so using QuickGPS and VisualGPSce. I am also using Tomtom Navigator 6 when I am in my car.
Just this evening I decided to see if a new radio would give me better performance, so I flashed 1.08.25.20M1 to replace 1.02.25.32 which came with my Fuze. Now I can't get a GPS lock at all no matter what. Thinking that 20M1 might just be bad for my area (North Texas) I decided to try 1.02.25.28 but that wouldn't lock either. Frustrated, I flashed back to 1.02.25.32 and now that won't lock.
What is going on?? I am running PROven 1.11 with aGPS disabled and using COM4. Thanks
Try setting both ports to "none" get a lock with google maps. Then change back to com 4 and open ttn7. PS make a couple minute phone call before trying to lock. Try these things and let me know if any success.
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.
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.
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
