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.

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.

Data stopped working

So I'm on arhd base 3.33
I flashed bricked 1.4 and my data stopped working.
Reflashed fauxes 8 and it works again.
Suggestions ?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app

If you want bricked and have the data issue with it you can try different radio and ril combo to see if any of those will bring back the data connection.just remember what your running now so it that does not work you can just go back to what radio and ril that does work and use faux. Try the generic ics radio and ril combos. I lost data myself by flashing a recommended radio for a specific Rom but was able to bring it back with a generic ics radio/ril combo. Worked like a charm. I'm thinking this might also work for you. It's worth a try . Sometimes it takes a try of a few different radio/ril combos before you find the correct one for your area . Hope this helps. Best wishes
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

I have to agree here. A new radio / RIL combo should fix your problem. If not, it may be the kernel. If that's the case, my best advice is to full wipe (nand backup first ) and to try a different ROM. You'll know then whether or not it is the kernel or the radio.
Hope this helps.

Lately my data is a hit and miss.
For example sometimes it'll load my facebook pages and than sometimes it takes forever and never loads.
I have full bars.
I tried matching rils and switching kernels.
Still getting problems.

I'm us T-Mobile also. When I switched radios I just used a generic ics radio and ril. What happened to me was I first flashed a recommended radio file for a Rom I was running, well I lost all data at that point.so I needed to restore my radio and ril. I found the generic ics radio and ril files and used the newest one. I was up and running again with a great signal!when you change your radio don't forget the ril file. I was happy my radio was better than ever! No problems at all. I believe there were approximately 5-7 generic ICS radio ril files. When you change you flash the radio in bootloader like any pg58img file, and don't forget to delete it when your finished or it will continuously try to update. Flash the ril the regular way you flash a Rom. The pg58img radio file goes on the root of sd card then go to your boot loader by taking out battery putting it back in pressing power and volume down at the same time, the device will recognise the update and ask to proceed, press power for yes then it will update and flash the radio ,then delete the file. I hope I've helped you out. Best wishes.

Help, can't connect to cell network

Hello, I am running Bruce's CM10 build, and out of the blue I noticed my cellular connection completely dropped. I have no access to any mobile services e.g. calls texts and data. As far as I am aware, no modifications have been made today which could cause this. Does anyone know of any solution?

Hi,
Backup,
format all partitions (except sd card)
Download the ROM again,and re-install.

I also do not get data on the Cm10 rom. I get data on all other roms but this one. Let me know if you find a fix. I'd like to run that rom myself but no matter what I do I don't get data. I've tried switching ril, and radio, still no joy. I tired format all but SD card, I've tried the app get ril, still no joy. I finally gave up. Hope you can get the data working for your device .best wishes.

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
