GPS problem

Hey all I new here
I have a HTC sensation it broke twice so has been sent of for repair loads
Iv recently ft it back with the GPS not working it comes up with the flashing
GPS icon in notification bar but doesn't lock.
So I decided to root it and install fash Rom to se if it could fix the problem
But sadly hasnt.
I realy can't be bothered to send it away again because they are crap at repairs
U always get it back with something else broken lol.
Is there a place were I can buy a GPS receiver and replace mine?
Hope to here what you guys think.

It's not a hardware issue. Download GPS status from the market and clear the GPS cache. Should fix your problem.

Thanks for the advise mate. I tryd GPS status still no lock on any satellite.

Did you read this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262652&highlight=crypted+GPS
Many users thought it was helpful, it helped me too!

Is that worth doing whether your GPS is actually working or not? As it seems to imply it'll see more satellites...

For the most part it should work. Usually whenever gps shows sats but doesn't lock it mostly has to do with kernels, ril/radio combos, and the version of superuser one is on.
I had an issue where the gps would not lock at all, but after a lot of troubleshooting, I ran into those issues. I just flash whatever rom I want, make sure the ril and radio combo works. Do not mess with the kernels for now and test for gps. If it doesn't work, try crypted's fix.

Thanks guys ill that. If it doesn't work can I jus flash a diiferent kernel and dif version of superuser if so what would you put on a HTC sensation on o2?

Hey all I have tryed that fix flashed with adb didn't work sadly. Is there a command using adb that could state wat the GPS is doing. I tryed GPS status is said no satellites found and non in use.

Did you reboot? And what kernel are you using? And have you confirmed that you have the correct ril/radio combo working with that rom you are using?

I rebooted. And I used the radio that was recommended. And I'm using [email protected] Thank you for the help mate

Just a fyi, I have always had problems with faux kernels and running gps. Is that kernel the bundled into the rom? Is there a more 'stock' kernel you can try?
Also use file explorer/astro to the system/etc folder. Make sure you just delete the suplrootcert. It's not needed to run gps at all. Totally optional file the gps.conf file uses, but I delete it anyways.

yea it was a bundle i think there was a stock rom. what rom and kernels are good for sensation.

Shut down the phone and take the battery out for 30 seconds. Put it back in and then turn the phone back on. That fixed the problem for me, and it also worked for a number of other people. It might work for you, although there is only one way to find out!

Download turbo gps from the market and see if you getting NMEA strings,if they are empty take the gps.pyramid.so file from system/lib/hw/ and replace it with the same file from sense rom. This solution fixed my gps issues on aosp roms.

Android Revolution 3.6.11 HELP!

Hello,
I have mine and my wives sensations s-off and rooted and both running the latest Android Revoluttion 3.5 Roms with beats. My phone is fast and everything works great, apart from very occasional black screen freeze and lock up. Quick battery removal/restart fixes it. But the wives phone lags, freezez, loses WiFi. What should I do to fix it? Tried reflashing the Rom, but to no avail. She wants me to make it s on and remove root. Any suggestions before I do?
Thanks

G'day mate,
As far as I know these problems are mentioned on the ARHD page, if you scroll down the first post, you'll see all the FAQ's, I also had these similar problems in the early stages of learning all about Android.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I super wiped, redownloaded 3.6.11 ROM and reflashed it. So far so good, but its only been less than a day.

[Q] anybody got android 4.01 roms?

Hello. I'm semi-bricked so I cannot use android 4.03 roms. They just don't work for me. I loved arhd 5.01 because I thought it would be awful but it isn't. It has epic speech recognition problems though, it just says unfortunately voice search has stopped. It says this for each of the voice needed applications. Does anybody have any other 4.01 roms? Preferably sense but I don't mind

You could try hypernonsense, so smooth, fast and stable.

Is it android 4.01 or gingerbread

Please stop flashing your phone until you know what you are doing. I would think after all of the trouble you had previously after flashing firmware being stuck with s on and your phone being in an unusable state you would have stopped messing with it.
Go back to stock and leave it alone. You are eventually gonna brick it. You need to do a lot of reading so you are not asking for help all day, everyday.

It's an ICS rom (4.03). Full wipe is needed.

You know, at the beginning I didn't realy know what I did, I'm french and my English isn't perfect... But with time and perseverance, I can say : now I know what I do. I think persons in trouble must insist.. Some people can help them and I'm OK with you, they must read before do something.

Well im sorry but i dont want to start any arguements. I know exactly what i'm doing and why i am doing it. Android 4.01 roms are the only ones that work for me, yes i did make a fatal mistake but after much reading ( yes i did) i know what's happening
I'm furthermore 'sorry' if i have angered you experienced users but i have not really asked for help with my phone for a while now and i dont intend to. I wasn't posting this to be annoying, I just needed help finding android 4.01 roms and incase anybody else needed them.

Yes I flashed it. I think you should :
1. Flash 3.32 fw
2. Wipe data/ factory reset
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Wipe davlink cache
5.Flash virtuous 4.0.0
6. Reboot
Then if it work you can flash addons, kernels

Trouble With phone. What is the cause of it?

I Have a HTC Sensation. I had revolution hd on it, but got bored of sense so i installed virtuios inquistion with the stock ics. After a month of using it on that rom. My phone will randomly turn of through out the day. If I tried to turn it back on. It will start to boot up, but turn off again. If I did manage to get it back up, my battery will be drained to like 10 or 5%.
I went back to my old rom, revolution hd and I still have this issue. It makes it quite annoying when u want to use your phone, the moment the screen turns on, it shuts it self off and drains the battery. it always picks a random time to do it. once it does it hard to get it back and running after that unless i give it a fill charge.
Is it my battery, kernel, or my phone? any ideas.

It's probably the kernal you have did u try to return back to stock
Sent from my Sensation Z710e with beats audio using xda premium

I just did factory reset and the problem is still occurring. Any more ideas?

A factory reset won't fix a kernel issue. Reflash the universal 3.32 firmware. If it is kernel related you will be back to the stock kernel.

Hi,
Sounds like a kernel problem to me, go to the below thread pick one of the kernels (I suggest using either Bricked or Faux) and flash it in recovery. If that does not work let us know.

Did you try going back to Stock ROM? I would strongly recommend flashing back to the Stock Rom and then --
Enter the following line of USSD code in your Phone Dialer to get into the Diagnostic Menu
type *#*#3424#*#* and you will enter in HTC Diagnostic menu 3424 means (DIAG)
Test your Wifi and Bluetooth from there. If you are still not getting any positive results, then go the Settings > About Phone > Software update and check for any updates regarding the phone from Htc.
I faced a similar problem regarding Wifi not powering on and it turned out to be a Settings Update which broke the Wifi. I uninstalled the update and the phone worked as a charm.
Good Luck,
Ravi.

The golden pins in the back cover also need to be clean in order to Wi-Fi work.
EDIT: Make sure the golden pins & back cover are very clean, and in contact properly.
All antennas are in the back cover.
Including bluetooth.

Hi i baught a sensation cheap coz the wifi r bluetooth did not work, tried every fix, s-off, radio, firmware everything but nothing worked at all. Turned out that it was the back battery cover, there is copper looking pins on there but they aint pins, they just conductive paint and they worn through to the plastic so this is what i done, look at the pics, now i have perfect wifi and bluetooth ever since. Its worth a try

Oh so many things to try out let me try them one by one and by the way where can I see the Ruu
