Sygic Aura Android not working Htc Hd Mini

I bought sygic aura. He finds everything, points of interest, addresses, petrol stations, shops but my current location three blocks differs from the actual location. Even when I'm in the car nothing happens. My arrow is not with me. What is the problem here? is because the GPS is not designed for the HTC HD mini android?
greetings sven

If you look on the status page it says gps is not working

Haha, that made my day!

i have still no gps signal. cable is connected, gps not working in WM and android. i have tried every thing realy everything nothing work.

GPS works! I tried with Sygic Aura, Igo MyWay and working perfect so far, very quick GPS fix.
Turn GPS on and try with GPS status from market. Should fix GPS signals very fast

no there is something with my gps. it worked always no problems, but now for about 3 months my htc don't have any signal, even on WINDOWS MOBILE No signal. so i let it be , just wait 8 months than can i go for a new phone. . I now used my nokia N95 for navigation

Which WinMo ROM do you have? Have you changed it 3 months ago?

no , i had the lastest winmo version, now the oldest because i used a hard reset. so i guess i have on this moment the oldest. but i had this one a while ago : _HTC HD Mini_RUU_Photon_HTC_NLD_1.36.404.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship

For GPS issues, the first post in the tutorial "Install Android on HTC HD Mini" under the heading of known issues states in red font: GPS software in WM will not find satellites if you turn off GPS from location settings in Android
You should try the solution that is detailed in this thread. You have to follow this step even if you reflash any WM6.5 stock ROMS because reflashing won't fix the GPS issue. I know this from experience.
It is also discussed at length here
It is assumed you are using the latest build of Android for HD Mini. If there are continued issues, try a completely clean install (remove all old Android files from your SD card). If you still can't get GPS (both in Android and WM6.5), then maybe consider it is a hardware fault.

im sure it's a hardware fault. i have yesterday buy a adapt bluetooth gps and it is working fine. Fast fix even in the house. I think my internal GPS is dead. I used a lot . Almost 4 hours a day, 1 year long.

I guess drivers are different for a BT GPS when compared to the internal one. So if the BT works, it does not ay anything about the internal gps?

I would say if you do a hard reset in WiMo then you should see at least some satellites. Did you also try the app androsensor in Android? That tells you the status of all sensors, including the gps (i.e. location and number of sats). In that case you don't need a program like Sygic to check it. It works quite nice. Maybe worth checking?

looks bad. I understood you opened the device since you had issues with the proximity sensor? Are you sure you didnot damage any antenna cable or connector? I know there are 2 of them that are quite vulnerable, don't know where they are for.

sorry if I got the wrong room but in the developers did not write because I have a few posts ago, and until I can write in topics developers ask you not to move or can not respond to anyone who has problems!

LOL, ive heard it usally locks in 10 secs INSIDE your house. does that need to be faster?

im in europe and i dont have any problems with gps... i have gps in like a few seconds even if im in my house so maybe a defect device ?

Yep I can confirm this, fastest lock I've ever had from ANY gps device and the ONLY one I've ever used that gets a lock INSIDE my house! VERY impressed with the gps in this phone.

yes, but in italy (my location) the fix are imprecise, the position on the map its wrong about 20 miles, with this patch the precision of your position is better, try it!

Well the first connection to gps satellites takes time (4-5 minutes for me) after that it gets a lot better. I cannot say I got lock in 10 seconds indoor but about 30 outdoors is my average. You also can try GPS Status to reset and download AGPS data...
I thanked you because I accidentally missed the quote button, any way to unthanks?

I have downloaded but it didn't help at all

Well try disabling screen timeout and then waiting for signal for about 10 minutes with screen on, if that doesnt work than rooting is a must

Sometimes its the app that's the problem. Try running GPS status and tools app first that will get a fix faster than a sat nav app.

My O3D locks on in about 10 secs and gets the house number within a +/- of 3,

Sorry to sound n00bish but how do i flash this ?
Btw it takes 5 mins or more to get a fix on sat even in open in a car.

[Q] GPS fix? does this work for sensation

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630 < found that on the main page and i was curious if it would work for the sensation..

unfortunately, no, unless you have s-off with a *working* clockwork mod and recovery
its a script in a zip file that needs to be flashed before android loads

Yes, won't work for now.
Maybe you can use A-GPS injector, I use it, don't know if GPS is really faster to aquire with this app, since for me, the Sensation is really fast to get satellites signal, muuuch faster than my HD2

Not sure what problem you're trying to fix. I just watched the video linked in that post supposedly showing the script working and it's worse than my Sensation works out of the box. It took 29s to lock and the accuracy never got better than 36 ft. I usually get a lock in 10s or less and the accuracy gets down to 9-12 ft.
Can't answer your question about whether it's doable now.

[Q] GPS - Last Resort!

I am at my witts end with this thing. I feel like I have tried everything to get this going, but it does nothing! At one point it seemed like it was maybe going to work. It would lock for awhile and then starts searching again, then locks... Now it will not lock at all. My wife has an Aria. That little sucker locks within 20 seconds with 4m accuracy INSIDE the frigin' house!!! Here is what I have done so far:
- Tried every radio listed in the sticky with their listed Ril...
(I feel like a FLASHING FOOL!)
- Tried Angel Death's North America.zip flash
- Downloaded GPS Status & Toolbox
- Downloaded GPS Fix
- Tried AR-HD 5.22 Rom
- Tried Inspired Ace 1.01 Rom (Current)
What in the H&LL do I need to do to get this dang thing working! I feel like I may be at the point of un-rooting and getting it replaced. I would really prefer not to have to go through that hassle, but if anyone has any insight, I SURE would appreciate it.

Have you tried Angel Death's region specific zip flash yet?...assuming your not in Alaska....because until you have you really haven't tried everything .
What ROM, radio, and RIL are you rolling with? [Edit oh I see your ROM now]

I did not see anything region specific. Maybe I looked at the wrong post.
I am currently using the m2 radio.
I also just looked at my gps.conf file and there is a lot of cap on there. I more than I have ever seen. Maybe it is because of angel death's patch. The this is what I see:

That looks pretty close to what i use to see. Maybe all the stuff I did screwed it up. Is it a good idea or a easy way to get the gps.conf back to stock?
As soon as I get home, I will try reflashing with the east coast.zip and post my results.

My gps has been crap in every Rom and radio I've tried. Maybe its a hardware issue. Then again, if that were the case, it'd prob not work at all. Sometimes it takes me 15 Monroe get a lock in car, sometimes never locks at all.

Don't pull your hair out trying to resolve it. It sounds like you might have a bad handset. I've exchanged 2 phones for defective GPS already.

Seriously! Wow, that makes me think I should get it replaced. Does it work on the handset you have now?
Did you have to un-root it before you exchanged it?
How long after the second bad one did you realize it was bad?

I just tried to modify my gps.conf file to match yours and it gives me an error when I try to save... Tripple checked too.

What ROM are you using now?

You could try this it always works for me when I'm having gps lock issues. I use method #2, and I suggest you read it very carefully, and follow the directions exactly as stated. Good luck, I hope you get this sorted out.

I just flashed Gingerbeast. Using GPS Status from the market, I finally got a lock, however, the accuracy is only good to about 50m - I was hoping to use this for navigation - I do not think 50m accuracy will be good enough for navigation. Besides, I can not get it to lock using Google Maps/Navigation - Only GPS Status.

I was a bit scared to try it as well, just triple check what you type into terminal before you hit enter and all should be well. I've had to do it 3-4 times and it always works. It's now the first thing I do if I have any gps issues.

Ok... No Brick
40m is the best I can get it to lock down. It must be cablable of locking better than that??? My wife has a completely stock Aria - Lock to about 4-6m in about 20 seconds!
After doing what you suggested - did you install Angel Deaths patch?

I've had to replace my Inspire for gps issues as well. I had to go through the whole unrooting process to send in the old one. My replacement (see refurbished) gps works alright but no where, I mean NO WHERE as good as my wife's aria.
I agree that it's rather aggravating but what can you do? Unroot and get the exchange process started and hopefully you get one that has functioning gps.

Looks like that is what I will have to do. I am currently downloading Roms 4 and 5 to try that - if no change - unroot I guess. Never unrooted before - but it cannot be any harder than getting root I would think.

No, I've never tried Angel Deaths patch. Not that I have anything against it, I just haven't had to. I lock in 5-15 seconds and have 4-6m accuracy, that is with the radio in my sig, when I was using 26.09.04.11_M2 it would take up to a minute to lock and accuracy was in the 15-20m range. That's just my experience though, it's different for everyone.

HTC Desire S's GPS reciever indoor issue...

I just realized that GPS reciever of desire S is not working when I stay in my room. But Sumsung Galaxy S Advance is working very well in my room. Does anyone know how to improve HTC Desire S's GPS reciever indoor performance ?
See screen capture. I capture while I'm in side my house but It's appear about 400m from my current location and I have been waiting for 5 minutes to get the GPS reciever working.

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442032 it works for me.
i did manage to get a signal immediately right after i installed it from inside my house in front of my pc. Was not able to produce the same result twice(didn't really wait long enuf to test as i dun need gps in my house). But i have to say that this improve my signal lock tremendously.
and i think gps not able to lock on while in a house is not really an issue :cyclops:
cheers

Desire S GPS is precise, but weak, and won't work well indoors.

To test ur gps it should be outdoor in an open field, not inside brick wall. Is like testing ur mobile radio in an elevator and asking why can't i receive any reception inside here
But how is it when you are outdoor? Any improvement on the gps-lock?

GPS generally isn´t recommend for indoors, and it doesnt have sense to use GPS indoors.

Have no problem
I have no problem for outdoor It take just 10 seconds to lock.

WTF are you playing at dude?
Why are you re-opening an old thread (From September last year) in the Dev forum just to ask the same damn question you keep asking in here?
You have been told repeatedly that GPS is NOT designed for indoor use. You have confirmed that your GPS works fine outside. What is your problem? If you are indoors then you surely know where you are - it's not as if GPS is going to help you find the toilet, or find your arse
The Dev forum is for Development - not for pointless questions.

So you mean I'm damn... Ok I'm damn but. Why I can get Samsung Gallaxy S Advances work in door perfectly but not Desire S? What make sense to me is If it work in a house or building is benefit of finding and also can provide us a location where we can find each other easy.... Also maybe you can find my ass also.

Because the Desire S has a weak GPS antenna design. Everybody here knows that - it has been discussed to death. The thread you re-opened states that and the reasons for it, along with a possible hardware fix if you want to try a bit of soldering.

How about you are trying to check in or create new location(accurately) on facebook or google + you have to go outside building for just that reason? It's waste time...
