GPS not working right.. - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Is there a way to reset the gps stats on this phone? Every time I go into Maps it shows my location at 20 or 40 meters and keeps moving between those two. I seem to remember my gps being as low 3-4 meters before.

I assume you tried clearing data in Maps?
GPS signals can be wonky. Lots of things can interfere with your reception. Does it seem to change based on where you are?

It just seems like all of a sudden it's not working as well.
This is related bit I've also noticed that my phone is laggy on any Sense rom that I flash and can't figure out why. It's like my phone hit old age and doesn't wanna work as smoothly as it did a few months ago.

Might be time for a RUU and re-root?
That app will give you the raw GPS data. You can use it to see if the problem is the signal or something else.

Yea I was hoping to not have to go the ruu route lol but I was kinda thinking I might have to. I don't wanna use the 2.20 ruu tho. I wanna keep the old bootloader.

You just need to use the 1.85 RUU. There's a link in the dev forum.

The 1.85 root method will still work even tho it finds 2.20 in the last step?
EDIT: Isn't there a way now to downgrade your hboot so if I ran the 2.20 ruu I'd still be able to downgrade and flash kernels and radios in recovery?

The downgrade method is pretty hairy and requires Linux. AFAIK the 1.85 root method still works (but I never used it myself).

GPS Signal Drop and Maps Error's
I have the recent cm10 jelly bean installed. However I cannot use Maps GPS features. The signal drops and then Maps gets a force close errors. Any ideas in a fix?

I just realized that I don't need to use those methods when I ruu because I'm already supercid.

flashable stock tmo rom

ive looked and cant seem to find a flashable zip of the most recent tmo firmware. i found a nandroid but wifi didnt work. if someone knows where one is or can post one id appreciate it.
It's not going to work for you regardless. There is firmware you need included in update for Wi-Fi to work on that build.

Do you find wifi connectivity is better on the latest firmware? That's the reason I want it. I have the oldest and have bad wifi issues. Won't stay connected.

I personally had no Wi-Fi issues running stock 2.21 RUU and data network speeds where faster than this latest T-Mobile release too. Thinking of going back to it.

very sad too cus my phone blows now.
2.21 runs great with awesome data speeds. I was on that for weeks till yesterday, giving this 2.35 a test drive. 2.31 gave me random reboots.
I'm on T-Mobile US.
HTC One™ S
Hmm. So I was having even worse data/wifi issues after updating. Like I said the speed test app wouldn't work, wifi calling wouldn't work. So I found the newest ruu which is posted here in the [email protected] section, like 2.85 or whatever. Ran the ruu and I'm having zero issues. Something with taking the updates ota didn't agree with my phone. If you're having issues after the ota I'd suggest just running the ruu. Seems flawless now.

Actually, as IT mentioned, I think I'm wrong about flashing. I believe s-off removes all flashing restrictions. Downgrading is no longer necessary.
It's the fun stuff that will take some time.

What can we expect now that we have s-off? Or rather, what would YOU like to see. I'm curious what the typical One X user wish list would be?
Also, I saw you post in the boot animations thread. Did you get it to work? Which animation did you pick?
i still haven't ran the s-off exploit yet. i also slept over 30 hours and missed the release. i was going to wait to run it until some hacks came out that use s-off but i guess not having to fastboot boot.img is good enough. ill run it in abit seems super easy, looks like basically a hacked up ruu =) i guess that is why it is called facepalm.
I see the ruu contains a radio does it cause any problems with at&t?

Interesting. S-Off means the radio is fully flashable (even for those on hboot 1.14). So I would think you can just flash another radio, if there are any issues.

The ruu doesn't actually install. It would need to run that a few times to fully install it. Basically we are telling the phone we are going to RUU, which in HTC's stupidity, unlocks the emmc partitions to be writable. Then the RUU fails when it finds superCID. So we cancel out of the ruu status, but the emmc partitions are still unlocked, and we turn the security flash off with soffbin3. And ya, that's why it's called facepalm

im running the 1.85 now for the heck of it. i found that fastboot oem lock works differently then i remember it, you issue the command and it goes to a black screen. just make sure you go back into fastboot before running the ruu.

I'm running hboot 1.14 and can confirm that I've flashed CM10.1 (and restored a nandroid including the boot partition) without needing to fastboot flash the boot.img.
Seems like those running 1.14 are pretty rare around these parts...or maybe just quiet.
Edit: Restore was to AOSPA 2.54 (JB 4.1.2).

[Q] S-Off New Chance for Viper One s

Hey everybody,
In the past I tried to install the Viper One S rom for my T-Mobile phone. Sadly, the wifi did not work so I was forced to revert back to my original rom. The issues revolved around my hboot being 1.14 and causing those wifi problems. Just now, I successfully got S-Off on my phone! Now what's the best way to get Viper One S working on my phone? Downgrade the hboot? Do the wifi partitions work now now that I got S-Off?
Thanks

I have the outdated version....that explains it. At first I believed 2.1 to only work on Jelly Bean but under further inspection I see that it isn't.

Its a JB Rom, yes, but that doesnt mean your old rom has to be JB as well.

[Q] Wifi not working on 4.2.2 Roms

I am having trouble connecting to Wifi since I've started using 4.2.2 roms. There was no trouble when I was using a 4.2.1 rom. My wifi switch will not move to on. When you click it, it says turning on wifi but nothing happens.
I am currently using [Official PACman All-in-1-ROM Ver. 22.0.1[4-3-13] .
I have Hboot 1.14, S-On. Do I need to have S-Off to connect to Wifi?
Thanks
Anybody have an idea of what's wrong? I'm running Rohan's test kernel C
I'm not sure how to fix it, my fiance's phone has the same problem. I can tell you that having s-off won't fix it though, that merely turns security checks off, it's completely unrelated.

You have to flash boot.img through fast boot
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
You probably need to update your firmware to JB. There is a conflict between ICS firmware and the JB base that can cause your wifi to go haywire.
You do need to be s-off first, however, or you may get a brick running the RUU.

Run the 3.17 (non-US) or 3.18 RUU (AT&T), depending on what phone you've got. You need to be s-off first or you may brick if you are supercid. You'll lose root, but getting it back is just a matter of pushing custom recovery back on and flashing superuser. You'll also need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware to use an AOSP rom; there's a thread in the Original Development forum on how to do it.
I'm not guaranteeing this will solve the problem, but I was having similar issues and this solved it.

i figured out getting s-off. so after i run the 3.18RUU, do i have to use the following root method?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285086? Sorry if I'm asking so many questions, just a little confused.
No. You can just flash recovery after ruu. Then either flash a rom or flash superuser if you want to stay stock rooted.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
Correct, once you're s-off, you can never permanently lose root. No need for any exploits as you'll always have the ability to push a custom recovery back on and flash what you like.
