GPS Is Completely Dead, And I'm far from a rookie, Options Exhausted

I've been using coredroid for a couple months now. GPS worked great all the way up to V6.5. Even used 6.0 for a week or so and it worked great. I've used stock radio with every ROM and never had a problem. I installed coredroid 6.5 and the GPS is dead as a door nail. Gps Status, and GPS Test Plus won't even find a single satellite after 5 minutes standing in my yard with no obstructions. Not a single satellite found, let alone a lock. So I flashed the radio Coredroid recommends for V6.5 and no go. I also tried faster fix with no luck. I then wiped cache partition, formatted data, cache, and system, followed by a dalvik cache wipe, reinstalled coredroid v6.0 which it was working on yesterday, and same thing, doesn't find a single satellite. So I then tried optimized stock rooted which it also worked on that ROM in the past, and now it doesn't. I've done complete wipes between roms, and tried testing GPS BEFORE restoring my titanium backup. Nothing I do seems to work. Can't find one single satellite in clear view of the sky. So Now I'm back to CoreDroid V6.5 since it's not ROM related. Any Ideas?

Try running the RUU to complete stock through the exe file. Not rooted stock, but original shipping stock.

The GPS scrips I tried Earlier

My first one went bad on me about a month ago. Stopped working at all, then worked a little, then stopped again. I did s-on and flashed to stock, then took it to a warranty center and got it replaced. This one works better then my first ever did.

Try re flashing your radio a couple of times in a row I had it happen to me i got no sats too. I thank I did it like 3 or 4 times workes grate now 8 sats in 10 sec. Hope this helps.
O yea i am on the new att radio 12.39a.60.19x_26.06.06.30_M ROM is Di11is 2.0.1

I'm on my second Inspire due to the very some issue you describe. If youre out of the 30 buyers remorse, call ATT's warranty dept @ 800-801-1101 and have them get a replacement on the way. In the mean time, get all your stuff together to return your to stock and root the replacement.

Well, gps still not working. I got this phone on release day in feburary. I did however solve the problem, I went and got Samsung infuse, however I want to get gps working on inspire so I can sell it. Maybe the chip went bad. I went back to stock using the RUU exe method and nothing. This is definitely a hardware failure. Maybe I flashed it to death lol

I understand the issue, my problem is I've never had a issue in the 3 months I've had it. Flashed 20 Roms at least, gps worked great on all of them, but now all of a sudden I get the issue.

Yeah the gps is kinda touchy with this phone. I dorked my gps up a while back and nothing fixed it either. Reflashed the ruu,radios,rerooted and every other maddening thing you can think of. I actually gave up and moved on.Then one day after messing around in the build prop(completely unrelated to the gps) my gps came back up after the 40th reboot in a row. Since then its been fine, really weird.
BTW how you do like the infuse? A friend of mine had to ditch the inspire because the bluetooth would cut out once he put the phone in his pocket, went through 2 phones and headsets.

infuse is like a fancy captivate only way smoother. GPS got 11 satellites in under 25 seconds on first try out off the box. Inspire mobile data speeds were always 3.5 down, the infuse is getting 7 on average. Inspire didn't have 2100mhz band, infuse does. Not sure if that matters. But I like it. Rooted it in under 3 minutes. Just one click and superuser appeared.

GPS issue...

I have noticed that my GPS hasn't worked on the past few roms that ive installed. Even when restoring a Rom that previously had working GPS, the GPS no longer works. Anyone know a fix for this? I am currently running the tpc stock rooted optimized v2.

Have you tried to reflash your radio?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

I would also say make sure your doing a proper wipe when your flashing. And also that your using the recommended radio for the rom your using.

My gps works fine, using coredroid ... I did a full wipe though before installing

I full wipe before each install or restore. Gonna try radio reflash and see if that helps.

But I'm not the OP . I am into GPS stuff tho this is cool . I am on my way to work but will check this out.
I have found that when my historical GPS data is wiped I have to use market apps like GPS Fix or GPS Essentials as an aid to getting lock again. I don't know if these really do anything...what it does do is have you watching the screen standing outside with open sky for 10 or so minutes as the # of satellites increases until it gets me within a 7 or so meter accuracy radius (lock). Then GPS behaves much better going forward with quicker acquisition times and such.

I had the same issue, reflashing the stock radio worked for me. This happened across several ROMs so I am not sure when the problems started. The ROM I am using now works best with the stock radio, flashed it and all problems were gone. I used GPS Status to lock, now I lock within seconds.

My gps stopped working on my first Inspire. Got spotty, then died completely, no matter what ROM. I restored to stock with s-on, same issue. Brought it to a warranty center and exchanged it. The new one locks better than the.old one ever did (and I thought the old was great) and has worked fine ever since. Might just be a bad chip.

Since this was developed for Gingerbread, and I'm still stock, I think I will wait either until I root, or get the OTA if not rooted, then try this out .
I have noticed, or seem to have, that when I am not toggling my GPS on and off as much over time the more accurate and quick it gets. I had profiles toggling it based on conditions. I started getting rid of those conditions vs. GPS, and I get locks much quicker. Of course it sucks the battery big time, but I am plugged in a lot. And I have a quick toggle I just have to keep in mind if I'm out and don't really need it and need the battery instead.

After changing several Roms I lost my GPS as well. First I did a full wipe, factory reset, all cashe, ect. Did a clean install (with certain roms I found having a clean reboot between installing add-ons helps). I then Installed the GPS Script for US ran the GPS Test App free from the market and get a lock on 9+ sats in under 25 sec.

no one mentioned this when they brought up reflashing hte radio, but make sure you have a matching RIL for the radio. i've had so many headaches over gps that were fixed by making sure i have the right RIL lol. for an easy way to download and flash RIL, check out the gtg4556 (i think thats right) section in ROM Manager and look for the RIL flasher. AWESOME tooL

Finally got around to fooling with this thing... lol... GPS is working again. I decided to go ahead and unroot to make sure it wasn't a hardware issue and it wasn't. Started working again when put back to stock. So, I rerooted and its still working. I'm assuming it was a radio mixup between roms or something. Thanks for all the responses.

Since I flashed the radio / ROM combination in my sig my GPS is behaving like one would expect. I had an HTC Tilt1 one and the GPS was good. I have been disappointed with the performance of the Inspire's GPS, but no longer. Locks under 10 seconds and sometimes under 5. Good. I like it when things like this are resolved.

If your gps stops working altogether, you can usually fix it by just re-flashing the radio. You don't need to unroot and go back to stock.

Make a nandroid of your current rom then flash the stocker. If it still won't lock, your phone is defective. It's a known issue w/ our devices, some are just luckier than others.

Some details of what you have tried so far would be helpful. Because you haven't provide any yet I'll be vague and indescrript with my suggestions. First make sure your radio and RIL match. This is ridiculously important!
Second, try flashing the GPS scripts file that has a thread in the dev section.
Lastly, are you trying to get a fix indoors? If so, just go outside
Good luck!
PS I have found some roms have much better GPS than others. No matter what I tried I couldn't get proper GPS on android revolution 5 but get awesome GPS on gingerbeast

Ok, I finally got the RIL in order as I had the wrong one flashed on there, so thats all fixed and ready to go.
I also applied AngelDeath's GPS fix to no avail so far.
It's weird though, every time I reflash Fusions rom the gps works for about an hour than just calls it quits. This is the only rom that can actually get a signal at all comparing to the other ones I tried which cannot.

the angel death gps fix is the gps scripts i was talking about. do you use gps status to download the newest AGPS data?
You may also want to try different Radios (with matching RILs) because some may work better than others in different areas.

A "double flash" of the radio and the RIL with a couple of reboots in between has been known to clear up weird behavior.

[Q] GPS locking too slow

I have searched around but cant find a reasonable answer.
I installed Weapon 2.6 and tried using Navigon and Gmaps with GPS but the locking takes forever,
To fix I tried gps fix and gps test. they work for the moment but after a reboot or after a few minutes with no use, the issue is back
Basically my reason for this thread is which rom is the best for gps tracking or kernal?
I cannot wait in a car for 10 minutes for the gps to finally track
Thanks for all who help!

Did you have this issue on stock?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Welcome to six months ago. But seriously, this is a known issue, were you encountering it on stock?
There's a few ways of fixing it, none work every time. I personally can't get my locks under a minute no matter what.

I have the same issue (upgrade Weapon 2.6 from 2.5) as OP.
I have to reset the data/clear dalvik cache and reinstall weapon 2.6. GPS works great, lock under 7 sec.

Yeah I tried stock, and I tried re-installing 2.6, thing is I never tried using the GPS before.
I finally aquired navigon and It literally takes like 5 minutes to lock on.

Your first lock on a new device (or rom, which is basically the same thing) will always be slow, that's just a limitation of GPS technology. It's all the subsequent locks you have to worry about.

OK I know the first is long but not every time I want to use GPS. I have a Milestone 2, it locks on within seconds. I actually still use it as my primary GPS but come on, this G2x is suppose to run circles around a Milestone 2 (droid 2)
I am trying Eagle Bloods (2.3.5) will let you all know

aaaah i miss nokia phones...instant lock in the basement

I am using CM7 latest nightly with the July 15th baseband.
This works every time for me, get an instant lock:
-Turn on GPS
-Hard Reboot (hold vol up+power)
-open maps
-wait for lock (for the circle around the arrow to disappear, ~10 seconds)
-exit maps and go into navigation
-enter destination
-Boom! Instant navigation
Not sure if it'll work on weapon but give it a shot. I'm actually curious to find out if I'm the only one this works for.

Yeah no luck here. It locks after 5 minutes or so, I used GPS fix and others but still damn! My milestone would lock instantly. Might just be a g2x thing. Or because I am in europe. Oh well guess I will have to make do, getting tired of changing roms 3 times a day to find out.
What kills me is there are so many good things about this phone but all the simple stuff is what makes it crappy. Like the GPS, and no led lights. My old Sony x8 has led lights I mean come on now

Yep don't have any other battery.
I am not worried about it. The phone is great for what I use it for on a daily basis. I just have this navigon app and liked it on the ms2. I will just have to start the GPS really early before a big trip.

4.2E Update 6
But it didn't work well on stock either. The only other phone I have to compare it with is my old Sprint HTC Hero and it is quick to lock on and solid as a rock. I've flashed the gps fix zip and will try the gps on the way into work in the morning. That is about a 26 mile drive.... here's hoping....

Check your nav settings too.

Go to settings then location service. Check all three options. Then try again. It should work like a charm!

The agps fix is nothing short of amazing. Mine will lock in to my location, even inside a building, within a few seconds.

The patch appears to have worked. I'll test again on the way home. Thanks all!

Your welcome.

Works for a few minutes and then loses signal and has to re-acquire. I'll try some of the other versions to see if they are any better. In the meantime, back to the Hero and an offline gps program.

Must be something with your setup, I used it for an hour last night and it worked beautifully.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727

Out of all of the Android phones I have owned the Skyrocket has the best GPS. Locks in just a few seconds. I have gotten quick fixes on Gingerbread and ICS.

Very strange that mine doesn't work right. Can anyone post which ROM you use and if you flashed the agps patch, which one you flashed? Oh.. and do you use a case on your SkyRocket? I'll remove my case tomorrow and test also.

Could be a bad GPS chip. Mine locks in under 10 seconds indoors to an accuracy of 5 meters. It willl hold the lock driving at 80mph. I've tested it stock, on SKY, and on Embryo with the same results. I've never found the need to flash the agps fix. A huge improvement compared to my last phone.

My skyrocket is the best GPS device I've ever had. Including dedicated GPS devices. My skyrocket is stock, with no fixes whatsoever. At 500 miles an hour over the middle of the Pacific Ocean I can get a lock on in less than 30 seconds. Nothing else has ever even come close. Dedicated GPS's from Garmin, tom-tom and others take over 15 minutes under the same situation. Reception in difficult areas, like downtown with lots of buildings around, is also the best I've ever seen. It's really too bad there isn't a decent GPS navigation program for android.
Copilot's maps suck. Sygic has good maps, but a terrible navigation display, and even worse POI implementation. Routing is horrible. Don't even get me started on the problems with Google maps. Sure it's pretty, but it isn't really a great dedicated navigation service. All three of these stress form and features over function.
For great GPS software, nothing beats the old Garmin mobile XT for windows mobile. It didn't have the latest and greatest features, but as far as function, nothing could touch it for use on a worldwide basis. If you could put that software on a skyrocket, you'd have the best handheld GPS device on the planet--bar none.

I had to exchange my skyrocket for a new one because of this issue. It was just terrible - wide open spaces it would just blink for a minute then maybe lock, driving normal speeds trying to use Navigation was futile because it would lose lock all the time. I just took it to an at&t store had them put it next to another skyrocket and showed him how bad it was, in fact indoors it just couldn't get a lock at all ever.
Got a new one and it's flawless, now running cm9.
