Hi,
Becouse, I'm new I need to post my message here in General forum, sorry for that!
I have problem with my HTC Desire, after I installed Mild Wild 5.0 Stable-Release.
The problem is my GPS, it doesn't work. I don't see the notification icon when I run GPS.
GPS Test and GPS Status doesn't see any satelites and of course, my gps navigation doesn't work. I try to clean cache, dalvik-cache, install AGPS Patch from this forum. Almost every type of this patch... but any thing helps.
Then I try look for some information about blocking GPS in source code,. I found information that only in betas sometimes the GPS is blocked by programmers, in stable releases they never do this, also only couple of people had the same problem, so it could be tricky.
FYI: on my original ROM (from HTC: Android 2.2.2) the GPS was working perfect.
Do you have some ideas what could be a problem?
Thank you.
You can't post in the Dev forum, but you can (and should) post this in the Q&A forum for your device.
This might be a silly question, but have you tried explicitly turning on your GPS and then opening an app like GPS Essentials? I mean this instead of relying on the app to turn it on.

I instelled MildWild V4.3 with Oxygen 2.3.7 and now everything works fine.

Let me guess - is that is Desire PVT4? (It'll say on the recovery-loader screen.)
I had exactly the same problem: on a PVT4, with MW-CM5 no GPS, with MW v4.3 the GPS is fine.
But on my older Desire PVT1, both versions work fine with the GPS.

I installed Dutty ROM Duttys_Official_WM6.1_Rom_5.2.19716_UC si radio KAIS_Radinly_1.64.08.21, also iGo installed. I can't use my iGo program because when I try do detect the GPS chip from statellits connection page the PDA freeze when discover it (i can see this because the GPS led turns on). I can tell you that I update already the position using QuickGPS and after that GPSTool I can connect to sattelits. What shoud I do?
Thanks a lot

Disable the HTC Home clock and see the IGO program work like a charm.

Too much thought went into that Jarek.
Still LMAO though.
I searched, and searched again, and again... no fix for me
I don't want to eat your time... but my iGo still not work. I don't have HTC Home active... I tried even to enable and after that disable this function, but... no result...
This is serious...I can't use my GPS with iGo program....Any suggestion or fix?
Thanks again

And If you have more questions maybe put it in the relevant thread. HERE
Also I think you may have a burned up GPS chip. Try a different GPS program. GPSTest or something. But It would be better if you posted in the Thread that deals with Problems in the rom you are using.
two suggestions:
first: see if u have a-gps enabled. if so: disable and try again
second: try another rom... find one that's best for you.
i dont see how htc home plugin can affect this because i tested all possible combinations w&w/o it enabled and nothing changed. I had the same issue, igo freezing with dutty's wm 6.1 ROM when configuring and turning off assisted gps helped, as stated above.
My GPS worked fine with iGo until I changed the ROM (I had Dutty's ROM nr. 4). And that link that you give me, Jimmy, is related to HTC Home. I don't use it, like I said before.
Help please...
Still no answer... any ideea? Thanks

I'm not sure it's a ROM problem. iGo 6 itelf seems to have a problem dealing with AGPS. Mine also freezes after a while if AGPS is turned on.
I just leave it off and everything seems to work fine.
/drt
one thing i did was turning off the igo today plugin..and reboot..that should partially remove the conflict..
There are actually three different kinds of iGo problems I've seen with the various ROMs I've tried:
- Installation won't complete. Often, iGo will run anyway if you just do a soft reset when the installation halts. Often it won't.
- iGo runs, but once configured to find the GPS COM port, it hangs and hangs every time it starts after that. It may be related to AGPS, but I've seen this in ROMs that do not have that enabled by default. Also, I have no data plan and, as a result, no data connection with the tower.
- iGo installs, but won't start at all. Trying to start it results in a little screen opening animation, but nothing appears. The device is sluggish for a moment, then it's as if you never attempted to start it at all. This is the problem I have with Dutty's latest ROM. This almost certainly not related to AGPS since iGo has no GPS configuration immediately after installation. I don't believe it is related to the HTC Home plugin, since iGo runs fine for me on the AT&T test ROM, and it has the plugin.

This is definitely a conflict with the music tab of HTC Home, but only on some 6.1 ROMs (curiously not build 716 though). This problem doesn't occur in any 6.0 ROMs that I know of. It's not the plugin per se, but some component of the Today screen configuration that's causing the problem.

Is it sufficient to uncheck the plugin in the Today configuration and soft reset or is something more drastic required to resolve the conflict? The instructions linked to in an earlier posting seemed more like a series of black magic steps that happened to work.
Hello,
I upgraded to CM 7.0.2 and can't get lock on GPS when using google maps navigator. I tried using GPS Status and reseting GPS data, using MSL Reader does not work since Inspire is not CDMA which reader seems to work with. GPS Status and GPS Test work at locating GPS satellites.
Did anyone have the same issue and found fix for this?
thanks!

Try being less of a jerk please.
While those scripts do help some, it's not the end all be all fix.
I was in your situation... somewhere along my happy flashing i lost my gps capabilities. I decided on cm7 but still had a broken gps. I flashed that script using cwm and now my gps is perfect, better than any gps from my previous phones. I do suggest downloading gps status after you flash those scripts. It'll download some agps data and hopefully your gps will lock on flawlessly from than on. Good luck.
Thanks guys! Will try using the script.
For the person that said he flashed the script and it worked flawlessly on CM7, which one did you actually flash? South East or North America...
I was in the same position before with CM7 and GPS acting up....did both of those and nothing changed really...
now i just freshly re-rooted my phone after having my parachute savior of going back to ATT STOCK completely...(saved it since i know if all else fails i can always go back and go back to the drawing board)...
I want to carefully chose my roms and also i would like to go back to radio that i originally had...so that's my next step.
hi! today i've found a working solution for all users with non working GPS!
I know, my GPS has worked unter WM and the android SD Version update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-photonic-KANG-signed.
After the switch to 4.0.4. munjeni's ICS and the latest GPS Patch, on my phone GPS will not work!
after my search for a reason for a corrupt GPS i've tried some workarounds.
also to reinstall WM6.5!
the interested thing, also under WM, GPS is no more working. (windows is seaching and seaching ...... )
i've found a interesed note: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498693
it seems GPS was blocked from an older andriod version!!!!!
in my case - the SD version you can see in the first line.
now i've reactived the saved SD version, start the GPS in google maps, it takes some secounds to found my location via GPS.
in this active state and working GPS, i've removed the battery!
flash back to the new LK and restored my whole saved ROM include the GPS fix!
after the boot, start your navi-software or google maps - now your GPS should works fine - you can see the icon in the left corner!!
also the sw tells me, my location was set by GPS!
thats great!
I hope, i could help all other users with munjeni's great custom rom 4.0.4. ICS!
PS: not working is his blue camera fix! -
I use the solution to modify the file to get the right result (but blue preview). that is ok for me!
also i can live with the 3G bug! If i want to google, I activate 3G and after browsing, i switch back to 2G.
bad is the mono audio! i hope, we will get an update soon!?
howto
mini howto:
to check, if your GPS blocked, save your current ROM!!
flash your original WM to your fon and look in google maps, if GPS find any satellites.
in my case, it does not found any satellites. (but it activated the GPS Modul).
the device was there, but it seems blocked!
now you have to flash to the Android ROM as you know, your GPS works correctly!
start that ROM and activate the GPS with an application (like google maps or an navigator software)
in my case, gps founds satellites during some seconds (10 or 20 seconds)
also the ROM tells me, my location was set through GPS.
in this state, you have to remove the battery!!!!
flash back to the latest LK and restore your ROM from the first!
boot, start google maps or navi and you will see the GPS in the left upper corner on your hd mini.
have fun and be happy
Thank you!
Thank you very much, dear pinky999!
Your solution helped me to re-enable GPS on my mini!
After reading your post I first tried the latest sdcard version I used - photonic CM 7.2 (this had no effect),
and then tried another sdcard android that I used before photonic - r175 with sense - AND THIS DID THE TRICK! HOORAY!
Thank you once more
I am running jellytime on my inspire. Its unable to do navigation with any app including google maps, and mapquest. It is able to find the route and locate me but cannot navigate. I have tried all available gps patched one by one, nothing fixes it. We have 2 Inspire handsets with jellytime, both have same issue. Can anyone help, please?
I'm running JellyTime and navigation is working fine. There was a bug from CM10 in which navigation app would loose GPS sync after screen timeout interval (even though screen does not go off in nav) and not come back. A workaround was to toggle GPS off and on without exiting nav. This bug seems to have been present in an earlier version of JellyTime per comments in the JellyTime thread, but RB reported it as fixed at some point, and I flashed the latest version and the bug went away. Do you have the latest JellyTime?
Also you should install GPS Test and/or GPS Monitor from the Play Store. These will tell you what your GPS status is, so you know if you have a GPS issue or apps using GPS are not working properly.
I do have the latest version of jellytime. Last night, i did a full wipe and installed the ROM all over again. Still getting the same issue. I am using GPS test. My issue is that my phone wouldn't lock to any satellites at all.
There are a few issues in the JellyTime issue tracker about GPS not working:
http://code.google.com/p/jellytime/...s+Priority+Milestone+Owner+Summary&cells=tile
This one seems to be the same as your problem, and there is a link to a fix that worked for the OP
http://code.google.com/p/jellytime/issues/detail?id=307&q=GPS
thanks for your reply. My problem is different. I do get the GPS icon in notification bar, its just not able to connect to the satellites. I tried the fix anyway. Didnt work.
BREAKING NEWS: (lol)
I was able to fix the issue. Here is the list of things I did: (dont really know which one worked)
I did a complete cache and davlik wipe and installed the ROM (still using jellytime 42 R6.1)
Restarted the phone and the installed inspiremod from HERE
I took the GPS antenna off and cleaned the connections (THIS guide helped)
Then I installed the inspiremod + gps from HERE
And it worked!! Now I am getting a GPS fix as quick as 15 sec..
Glad to hear it's working. I imagine cleaning the antenna connections could have been part of the problem or the entire problem. But it would be nice to know if the GPS fix included in the second Inspiremod you linked to is included in the first Inspiremod, which is the one one linked at the beginning of the JellyTime thread.. The first one says it has GPS configured for North America. Are you elsewhere?
Even after cleaning the antenna connection I wasn't getting any GPS lock untill I did the inspiremod with GPS. And, GPS fix is not included in the inspiremod only that I posted a link for in post # 6 above.
Is anyone else having problems with the gps/navigation on after downloading cm 10.1.2 or any of the updates? For whatever reason whenever I try to use my google nag it seems to work but the gps cannot lock in on my coordinates, I tried using navigon and that app just keeps crashing besides that everything else works perfectly. Any ideas what is going on ?
I always flash the AGPS patch from the dev forum on every ROM I've ever used, and I've never had issues with GPS since doing that. Worth a try.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I took your advice and Googled AGPS patch xda developers and found it no problem, you have no idea how much of a help this was. Just imagine driving and putting on your trust Google nav just to find that its is not working (this was a reality for me) luckily this awesome community has come through once again.

I would also suggest getting 'GPS Status' from the play store. I have found a few times where the GPS needs a kickstart, and GPS Status does it. Just open up GPS Status, and it will get your location, then go back to maps and it will nail it.

I used to do this too when I mixed up giving google apps permission to use GPS with enabling google ads. I simply refused to read that text about google apps and gps and assumed it was google ads lol. Wow did I feel stupid when I finally enabled GPS access for google apps and got that fast GPS again... I felt really stupid dumb :silly:
EDIT:
I've had issues with AGPS patch here in Sweden. When using the correct patch for this region it locks in about 1-2 seconds with an error in two whole kilometers and stays that way for 5-10 minutes after which it starts jumping between the correct location and a 1.5 kilometer error. AGPS patch is really obsolete and useless for me as GPS works flawlessly without it.
Premature celebration
seems I celebrated a bit prematurely, I got the gps working a bit when I patched the location fix however the main problem is still here. That being that the directions are give, my location is found however the actual route guidance just hangs. My location is shown, if I choose the turn by turn list all the correction instructions are give but for some reason the route guidance just hangs. I am now going to try reinstalling stock rom to see if it is a rom issue. Hope someone out there knows of a fix without having to flash back to stock I really like cm 10.1.2
