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.

okay so i installed this rom to my tmobile htc sensation and now after a few hours i hate it and want to go back to stock is there anyway i can becuase i tried to use vol down key power button but it wont work it'll just turn on the normal way and i didnt back up anything at all i know that was a dumb move on my side but i just been stock htc sensation with sense UI on it again someone please help me !!!!
the rom i had been using was SENSEaY_XE35_v2.1.0 and now im trying to get stock again
Make sure that fastboot is turned off in your power settings. Now you can boot into recovery. Alternatively i am sure you can do it through the restart function on Senseay.
To get back to stock rom, i'm sure if you use the search tool you will find what you are looking for.
Android dev forum there is an explanation if how to go back to stock.
If one rom didn't work for you can always try another. Try ARHD or Insert Coin, etc.

Well I removed the from because of something small I didn't like about it but I'm stock again now and wondered if I was able to keep stock and have the beats audio software?

If you are full stock. No root what so ever then No unless your carrier releases an update for it containing Beats Audio
Is well I flashed the stock rom back to my phone does that mean I'm not rooted anymore like I still have my S-Off wouldn't I be able to put that beats audio on my phone only?

What is the best recovery? I know most rooms use revolutionary but what are the peeks of the other ones and why not stick with clock work? I tried figuring it out but don't know.
Sent from my MIUI.us Sensation 4G using XDA App
devs are using more 4ext cause it gives you options to install engines and what not
4EXT has a great UI and is really easy to use.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
I've been a clockwork fan for a while, but it took all of 12 seconds to make me happy that I switched to 4EXT. It's REALLY easy to use.
It also shows battery % and the time in recovery. If something is taking a while that can be really handy to know that your battery is running down before you start a flash process. It's no fun is the battery dies in the middle.

What are engines? And what is this 4ext touch thing I hear about? Can you use the touch screen in the recovery? That would be great.
Btw thanks to everyone who replied. I was considering switching but wasn't sure if I should.

I think engines as in the Sony Bravia one? So basically Devs can give you the option while flashing, to select many options and add-ons, for example I just flashed InsertCoin 4.4.1 and halfway through it asked if I wanted to have a 1.5ghz overclock or add BeatsAudio. And Yes, it is touch screen making it a lot easier, as you can imagine!

4 ext recovery is great! The devs have done serious work
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Thank you to everyone, you guys helped alot. I was skeptical at first but Im gonna give 4ext a try.
4EXT is the best, I use the 4EXT Touch!
4EXT is compatible with clockworkmod, btw. You can restore any backups using 4EXT that were made with clockworkmod, and roms that work with clockworkmod will work with 4EXT. 4EXT is actually based upon the clockworkmod code base.
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.

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
Hi, first sorry to create a new thread in development section but I would be sure every one who's facing this problem can find this solution.
On JB Sense roms (viper & revelation & aosp) some users have touch problem when scrolling or when open notification bar etc
After a lot of researches I tried this:
I changed the LCD DENSITY from 240 to 250 and rebooted. AND WHAT? NO more lagging and problem with touch responsivness !!!
- Tried on viper 3.1.2 just after full wipe and installing the rom, you can try on any JB rom which give you this issue.
- I came back to 240 and the problem was back so I'm sure the problem come from LCD density even if I have no idea AT ALL of why it's related but maybe devs can give some lights.
- You can find LCD density changer on playstore or in viper rom in tweaks.
Hope this has helped.
That is going to make things larger on the screen right?
Its a bummer for me as I always change dpi to 213, I got used to it and now 240 is too big for me lol.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z715e using xda premium
And changing to 213 has solved the issue for you? I changed to 250 but not tested with others dpi, so anyone can confirm with other dpi if it works or not. Thanks
You can change density in build.prop:
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
Changing density simulate different screen size.

It's a re-calibration tool which I uploaded myself, that's in my mediafire account. It wipes /data and calibrates the touchscreen.
Well, I didn't try, I recommended for you. I don't currently feel annoyed of my phone; it sometimes bothers though.
