GPS not working after installing Dutty´s V4

First the usual "appologies" that seem to be "a must" in this forum.
1.) Reason for not posting in the V4 thread is simply because that thread is too large, too full of non-subject replies.
2.) I have read the 2:nd FAQ post, does not even mention the problem with the GPS
3.) I have read the wiki
4.) I have searched the forum (and it does not even find anything because GPS has too few letters)
5.) I have browsed through 50 pages in the V4 thread and did not find an answer (and got tired reading ).
So, my problem:
GPS does not work after I installed the V4 rom. It did work in V3.
I have tried quick GPS, I also started GPS-tool (which did not get a fix either or find any satellites).
The orange blinking LED does not start when using GPS tool (it starts in miomap however).
And googlemaps does not get a fix (or find any satellites) either.
My radio is 12.32 , if that has anything to do with GPS?! I have sim-unlocked the phone. I live in Sweden.
I read a few posts where people seem to have a problem with their GPS after changing radio, even when they revert back to their original radio. During the sim-unlocking process the radio is temporarily changed, maybe that is the source of the problem?

What is the deal with everyone starting new threads instead of posting in the thread where it needs to be.
MY gps works just fine. 1.27.12.11 radio with dutty v4 rom.

I like it.. you apologised for not following the rules.. then didnt follow them. excellent.
The Dutty V4 thread is the one most likely to be of use.. I know its full of people not posting in the right place.. but adding to that isn't going to help.
As to the problem.. People keep reporting GPS issues with the Radio ROM's... Now It may be me but the radio rom shouldnt have anything to do with the GPS... unless im mistaken its a seperate chip and will have a seperate flash (which you probably cant modify)
What COM port are you trying to use? What are your External GPS settings set too in the control panel?

I got no problems with new threads on new issues. 150+ pages is just useless.
I haven't seen the GPS problem you talk about. Might try re-flashing your radio version, or a different version.

No neither do I.. But this isn't a new issue..
Loads of people are saying they have GPS issues after flashing..
At least a few of them I've seen are actually caused by people not understanding what they are on about (A few of the people seem to be confused by the fact the GPS may be on a different COM port after the flash for example)
the others all seem to follow the logic that changing the radio may help.. so trying that would be a good place to start (flashing back to the radio the device e shipped with for example and seeing if the GPS now works int he new Os with the old radio?)
I've never had a GPS problem.. But have seen all these fixes so many times whilst reading other threads I can regurgitate them, and thats without even searching for this issue.

this works for me
"Duttys DualTouch v4 RTM Release [ FAQ added in Post 2]" thread on 158 page

Go through the setup again.... If need be try a hard reset then Run GPSTest
Ensure you are using a radio compatible with Dutty's ROM. Try one or all of
these first, then report back what you find if it doesn't come back.
You shouldn't have to duck when you poke your head into the forum. Just be thankful it's not a contact sport yet. Just because you're using one ROM or another avoid attributing the problems/issues with that persons ROM. There are so many things that can create problems and user error is the biggest culpret.
Who can blame you for not putting this under the ROM release thread? It's too broad, likely not applicable, and everyone and his uncle has posted something there.
Cheers.

Ok thanks for the answers. Somehow the GPS just started working again, but I will never know why I started google maps, mio maps, tomtom a few times, and suddenly after 2 days the gps started working I was just about changing rom and radio, but now it seems as if I will stick to V4 a couple of days
thanks!

this version works ok with nearly all apps and cooked apps the only problem is the touchflo, the touch flo works but its not 100%

GPS Lag on Sprint Touch Pro 2

Hi,
Let me say out of all the WM phones I used over the pass years, this is the best of the best. I love everything about this phone. The only thing I dislike is the lagging of the GPS, I used, Garmin and IGuidance 4.0 and there is at least a few second delay in making turns. I even used the tweaks, to disable GPS logging etc. and still not much improvement. Can any one help. Thanks in advance, you guys rock.

no one has any ideas on how to fix this? THanks

You mean external GPS ? Or built-in GPS? I'm on Verizon and using the built-in gps there is very little if any, lag.

QuickGPS
Try running QuickGPS if you haven't already. It comes preinstalled on the Sprint Touch Pro2.

ya im sprint...use garmin agps off... use it daily m-f 8hrs plus..never had a issue...

I know this is an old thread, but I'd like to share what fixed my problem in case others are still having this problem with GPS lag.
I tried everything people suggested, modifying the registry, turning off logging, etc.
I flashed the radio rom to the latest Sprint Radio. The VZW radio was what was causing my GPS lag problem. I had a similar issue back when I had my touch diamond too. a new radio flash fixed things.

What version of the radio did you install? Are you saying the Lag is completely gone(no delay any more) ????
This and the FM radio, would make it one of my best phones yet.... (I had my titan maxed out when I had it)

GPS signal is not locking in issue.

So my OneS GPS seem not to work anymore. Hopefully someone can give me some idea how to fix this issue. The issue i'm having right now is that when I'm on Google map it can tell me where I'm general area within 30 meters, but when I try to use the turn-by-turn feature it won't be able to lock on to a signal the same thing happen with Map My Run app.
Phone is rooted running Virtuous Ville+ RC-1 rom w/ 0.16.31501s.16_2 radio & hboot- 1.09.0000.

[Q] GPS causes all radio to freeze?

sup xda..
I've been experiencing a fault which I couldn't find on any other threads, but if I'm missing it please direct me to it.
First thing's first... I've been running CM10 stable, tried the default radio and various others.
So this is what happens - turn on navigation or maps, and it'll work for a moment, give me directions and locate me. 10-15seconds later, my position on the map has frozen and "GPS signal lost" is muttered. Reception on 4G and any network connection is lost as well. It'll stay out of action for about a minute, then pick it up again, and the whole failure starts over.
As mentioned ive tried various radios, the symptoms are the same.
I've tried a clean slate of CM10, the various nightlies etc to no avail, same problem.
Today I tried RebelROM (02122013.. android 4.1.1) - no issues! So I ask...
Has anyone else had this problem? Why might I be experiencing this on CM and not another ROM?
thanks

No one huh . Oh well I guess I'm one in a million.

[Q] Maps (google navigation) has stopped in 4.1.1 roms

Hi there,
I am using "Android Best Stock v3.0" and I cannot use navigation. I have found a few reports here and there that this is a maps issue, but also others apparently are not having the problem. My one S is from wind(globalive) in canada. I have installed the same rom on another one S from bell. That phone has the exact same issue. However I know someone who got the OTA update recently on wind (we bought our phones the same day) and his navigation doesn't crash like mine does.
I want to know if alot of people are still having this issue with 4.1.1 roms and if they found a fix?
Thanks!

Not really sure what's causing the navigation to crash, but there has been reports flying around. Its very random issue and some phones are affected by that some works without issue. I'm using navigation a lot and never had problems with it. I access navigation throu Google maps. Ie. Search the spot and then choose to navigate to it. I never use HTC car app.

Mine Crashes too
I have exactly the same issue and there is no fix that I know of. Nothing fixes the issue except switching to 2D mode which is useless.
This issue has been floating around since December .... no fix in site.

I am on AODP now with bubba v4. The problem is still happening. I am having other stability issues with this rom though. But thats something else.

Downgrade maps or switch to 2d mode.
Google it.
