Just downloaded the EU RUU from the HTCDev website and updated my Desire S even though previously (Gingerbread) it was RUU of India. May be because the RUU uploaded is WWE (World Wide Edition). Did anyone receive OTA update ?
Anyways, after update I checked Google maps with GPS satellites OFF in 3G network. I was getting Location unavailable. However, I was able to get it with 2G network. Anyone else faced this issue ? In 3G with GPS Satellites On I was able to get a location. In all cases I had an active data connection in 3G or 2G.
If someone out there did not get their phone updated yet and has 3G, can you please verify if we can get position on maps with 3G with GPS satellites OFF and with just active data connection?
I think, it's matter of your network or rom itself.
I experienced somethin simmilar.
I was on WIFI, and the weather widget was saying "Location unavailable" although it downloaded weather for my location. After couple of hours it was ok. I got mine location.
No issues on my end.. Works with or without GPS ON.. on WiFi, 3G.. still have to check 2G.. But you say it works for you anyway..
Go to settings -> Locations and make sure you have the Google's location service option checked..

so ive had my phone since december when it came out and just recently i factory reset my device and it will not connect to 3g or 2g at all. I havent had any problems with my phone until now and i was wondering if anyone knows if there are any solutions. Im running 2.3.4 and im on t-mobile and i have always had great 3g coverage wherever i go so i know that that isnt the issue so if anyone has any ideas i would greatly appreciate it.
(edit) I just tried other sim cards and they wont pick up on 3g or 2g networks either. im at a loss on what to do.
You could flash a stock rom a 2.3.3 from tomorrow manager.

Input apn settings manually?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I had the same problem with my dutch provider free nexus s. You have to set the APN manually. On the T-Mobile website they should have the settings. I had a problem though cause in Holland the nexus s settings were not on t-mobiles website so I had to use the galaxy s settings but the apn type I had to set it to default instead of internet..bang!! May there be 3g

If you used widgetsoid or any other widget or program to toggle 2G/3G or Mobile Data on and off that could be the culprit as it some have the ability to rename the apn. I had this happen about a week after updating a phone to cm7 from 2.3.2. I had to reinstall widgetsoid and change the mobile data toggle to the root option. Then I made a widget to toggle data on and off and did that from the widget to fix the issue. It can uninstalled with no issues once done if this is your problem.
Hey everyone
For some reason bing maps does not seem to be working with directions when i am using cellular data; i usual get the error cannot connect to wifi or cellular data. I know my cellular data connection is working fine as i am able to use local scout, Ie and even Gmaps and it works fine. Bing Maps is also not accurate alot of the time either with it showing me to be around 2km away from my house.
If i am using wifi i am able to get directions but sometimes it says cannot find location even when i am clear view of the sky. I have had bing maps working previously and i prefer it to gmaps but this is really annoying me that it wont work. I want to format my phone but since you can no longer download metrotube i am reluctant. Any help would be great.
I should refer you to my thread:

I had the same problem. It turns out that APN settings have to be re-entered using the ADD APN or EDIT APN button for your carrier after the latest update for WP7.
Hey thanks for the reply, i am on optus also but i have a unlocked HD7 which i purchased from mobicity.com.au, i use the HTC auto configuration app which is compatible with optus to set up my apn original.
Perhaps Optus has changed some settings as my brothers HD7 has the same problem. What apn settings did you add or did you get optus to send them out to your phone ?. I know with my previous phones when setting an APN for say mobile data there was separate sections to do so ie internet, mms but under WP7 it seems as if there is only one APN section.
Think i fixed it i just changed the celluar settings from Automatic to Yes Optus then added internet as the apn and it seems to be working fine now. I am so glad some one else had the problem it was driving me nuts.
No worries at all mate. It was driving me nuts as well. Its apparently a common (relatively) problem for people on optus since the last update. Glad its all fixed.
Has anyone had this problem?
GPS is fine anywhere I go especially when on mobile data. But ONLY on my home wireless my gps location always shows up as Rose Bay Australia when I am from Connecticut.
I searched HTC rose bay Australia and found that there is a htc location here:
2 Park Street Sydney NSW 2000, Australia
(02) 9004 7860
which is like 6 KM away from the gps location.
I had no clue why its doing this. Only thing I can think of is it has something to do w/ the mac address and location it was built?
Its not the GPS, the location is being read from your WiFi router and internet provider. Turn off GPS and I bet it will still show the same location. Is your home internet routed through a VPN or anything like that?
Come to think of it , i just upgraded to DDWRT on my netgear n300
let me look through some of the settings
So I checked all my ddwrt settings and cant find anything that would cause it. No Vpn or anything. Its def my router. However on my PC it shows as normal location from IP service. So not sure.

Just in case anyone else has this issue all I had to do was update the mac address and clone it to my modem.
You don't use a proxy, do you? That could be another cause
I recently installed the JellyBean ROM for my A2 and changed few settings in the power manager after which I am unable to get 4G connectivity. I always see Edge in the status bar. I've tried re-trace my steps in the power manager but havent been able to turn on 4G yet.
Any guidance on how I could get my 4G back ?
----- UPDATE ----
I had to flash the same ROM again onto my phone and now its functioning properly. Still don't know the root cause but will report again if I see it happen again.
Thanks

Which JellyBean ROM? Please remember to be very specific as to the conditions surrounding the problem you're having!
I'd first try to go into Settings/ Below Data Usage tap 'More...'/ Mobile Networks
and make sure that 'Use only 2G networks' isn't checked.
Also, which carrier are you on? (I know most are on AT&T, but I'm on Straight Talk so I ask)

Thanks for your reply. I'm on the "MagicMod-Jellybean-Experimental" Atrix ROM on ATT.
The "Always use 2G" is unchecked which means that it should use 4G when available. Which bought me to the next section where I could search for network providers. When I searched for networks, most of the times my phone fails to find ATT in the list of available networks. I do have 4 bars on my phone though. I dont see the network provider name in the status bar so I dont know where it is connected currently.
My current hypothesis is that my phone is unable to connect/register to the ATT network and so I dont get 4G speeds.
Does that make sense?

Just so you know A small H by your signal bar means 4g. I am on AT&T and all I have to do is uncheck those boxes and reboot and data and MMS works fine

Yep. I'm aware that a H is 4G. I see an 'E' next to the signal bar. I did have an 'H' right after I installed my ROM but since today I'm only seeing 'E' .
I'll try flashing the CM10 ROM and check if that fixes my issue. If not, I'll copy over an apns-config.xml from an ICS install and replace my current one with that just in case.
try changing network mode by an awesome app called "Network" by phillip
in market .... it is simple & best option

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that. Looks like a reflash (of the same ROM) solved the problem for me though. Its back to 'H' for me. I still haven't tried to flash CM10.
Thanks for your help guys.
Hello folks..
I have been having a problem recently with the weather widget not picking up native GPS location and always picks up from mobile/wifi networks..
I have tried searching but did not find an existing topic on this.. Is anyone able to get a gps lock using through GPS status application? For me it just keeps spinning and says looking for gps location when only gps is selected in location services..
I know that it will work when I choose mobile and Wifi networks too in location services..
Cheers!
