Hi,
So i thought to get a better gps sensing i should use GPS Aids donate version. Now it seems native method for GPS sensing has stopped working. Location cannot be found.
Should i factory reset to get default GPS settings or just flash modem?
flash your fw again, and make a backup before experimenting next time

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.
Hi,
I'm on the latest rom (but problem was there also with previous version), and gps works like a charm after a reboot (with agps data downloaded, fix in house takes <10sec).
The problem is that after a while gps is not started by any application (maps, gps test, gps status), and there is no way to restart it. I tried to reset the gps, to stop & restart the service...
The only way to restore it is to reboot the tablet.
Any idea?
Stock rom, no root
Hi guys,
I'm using latest Primo-s rom for aproximately 3 weeks. Some days ago installed IGO navigation and used for one short trip. Later that day I tried to use navigation, but phone did not saw any gps satelites. Even in status bar there is no gps icon, when I turn on gps. I tried several reboots but it did not worked.
Any ideas how to fix it?
on gps test app it shows that gps is on but it see no satelites. Tried agps data refresh, but id not worked

Stupid question, but have you actually rebooted your phone into recovery and tried clearing the cache?

rebooted into recovery, wiped cache partition and dalvik cache. Not helped.
But I found very strange thing - when I go to task manager and kill process /system/bin/surfaceflinger - phone goes to start screen for several seconds, then goes to normal operation. Atfer that - gps works for one session with several applications. When I turn gps off, and then turn on for a second time - it does not work - no gps symbol in status bar, applications do not find any satelite.
Maybe the problem is caused by you turning GPS off when you don't use it? I never disable GPS as it uses very little battery turned on until you run an app that actually uses the GPS system.
What happens if you just leave GPS enabled all the time?

I always keep gps turned off to save a battery. I don`t see reason to keep it always ON, because I need it only once a week. Earlier, before I rooted phone and started to play with different ROMs, GPS worked perfect.

You are currently using a ROM based on a different device and using a leaked, unofficial kernel. That often means that various problems can occur - and they don't always affect everybody. I am just trying to suggest a workaround that might help you out and is worth testing, otherwise try a different ROM to see if you suffer the same problem.
ok, thanks
I found this thread about agps patch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21325390
I`ll try this later, maybe this will fix my problem
AGPS patch has nothing to do with your issue. It helps faster locking - and also not always, only in specific cases when default aGPS settings give poor results. Your problem is that the GPS doesn't even turn on.
Also, since we're at it, there's absolutely no reason to turn off GPS switch. GPS doesn't use battery AT ALL until one of the apps actually requests it to function and give position.
I can't connect to any WiFi routers for some reason. It will say connecting then saved and then connecting again. I'm also having isues with GPS lock. On maps it literally shows me jumping around between several different buildings a block ot two away. Should I do a ROM reflash? I'm on synergy ROM.

Go back to an ICS rom - get lock and then flash back to synergy
Do a clean flash of Synergy. A clean flash includes formatting system. The maps and location apps are in system/apps. This problem is usually accociated with corrupted maps and location apps and google framework. Alternately you can also try this fix although it will not fix any other problems flash related.

I'm on Synergy r73 and initially had a bunch of GPS lock issues. It would work intermittently. Sometimes it would lock then halfway along the route it would tell me I'm on a road that was several blocks away. Sometimes it wouldn't lock at all, not picking up a single satellite. I was close to a complete reformat but then I followed the directions in that link posted above and also used GPS Status and did all the calibrations.
It didn't take at first so I went back, cleared data on maps under applications manager, unchecked Standalone GPS services, unchecked Google location services, backed out, went back to location services and rechecked Google location services and Standalone GPS services, ran GPS status calibrations again, rebooted, then ran GPS Status calibrations again.
I probably didn't need to go through all of that, but after doing all of that GPS Status showed I was picking up satellites again. Hope that helps with the GPS issues.
As far as wifi, it gets weird every now and again, but I just turn it off and back on and all of a sudden it works well again.
My GPS was not fast to sync no matter what I did.. In 4.1.2 TW.
I tightened the screws, tweaked the config, etc.. But Waze and other GPS apps would eventually lock and everything would be fine.. Just had to be patient..
I upgraded to Old&Slow 4.3, which is great; but my GPS now never gets a lock.
All the options are set in settings -> Iocations.. But Waze doesn't even detect the GPS anymore..
And GPS Status (from play store) also never got a lock after an hour of changing ntp servers and rebooting..
Also Phone Info Tool no longer works in 4.3 so I am now stuck with 4G, as I can no longer force 3G..
I would be open to suggestions on either problem..
Thanks in advance.

I use GPS test and have reset the AGPS once to resolve a GPS issue that occurred for me once before. Have you done this through any app? Usually tightening the screws has helped folks or you could go the Odin route.
Today.. The GPS is infallible..
I can not explain why..
It is faster than it has ever been..
