Hi.
I'm from Russia. Sorry for not perfect english.
I bought my HTC Desire S about 2 weeks ago on clove.co.uk.
It is cool phone but i have problems with GPS.
Applications can't show my place if i uncheck flag "Location->Use wireless networks " in phone Settings.
I tried to use Google maps, open gps tracker, Yandex maps.
Also i tried "GPS TEST". I waited 15-20 minutes. It finds 9-10 satellites, but latitude and longitude equals 0.
I tried "GPS FIX" but it also useless.
Can anyboby help me?
Is it hardware or software problem?
Thanks.
Are you outside (not in building)? From my previous experiences, I can say GPS doesn't work in buildings (or isn't that accurate).

Same thing here. I'm from Russia too. I've just bought the device, and have almost the same problems. I tested the device outside my office - still 10 minutes to get GPS locked
I have been experiencing the same issues outdoors in south west UK makes foursquare impossible

Have the same problem here
Installed "GPS Test" and it shows the strengths of the signals of the satelites.
I haven't had a value over 36 SNR but it finds about 10 satelites very fast. Then it takes 5 min to lock and it is impossible to lock if you are walking.
Is the GPS better on your devices. Would be interesting to hear values from people who don't have problems.
Hi guys...this is most probably cause by the presence of built-in A-GPS feature....due to that feature DS can no longer lock on it's own...or it means a great struggle...Locking onto GPS requires a great computing power... apparently the GPS chip in DS isn't the top product...
Hey, if you're root/S-OFF, did you try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060963 ?
I had the same issue but it's gone after restart.
Having the same issues here, this is a return the phone type fault, and no gps = key things missing from the phone.
It was hard for me to get a fix accurately but GPS Fix really helped. But definitely go outside to use it.
seems like a-gps has old data, dunno how to refresh it on it's own, but the free app "gps status" will do it if necessary. be sure you have internet access (wifi or cellular), gps is on, and start the app, it should update the a-gps data and the phone should find a fix. otherwise the gps sattelites are transmitting the same data (almanach) but very slow and it takes sometimes 15-20 minutes. the alamanachs contain the latest corrections and without them any gps device will give rubbish as output.
i cant lock gps...any suggestion?
It's always worked pretty well for me.
GPS Fix works wonders.
I have the same problem and I have tested with the HTC Hero as well with the same problem. I have been on the Orange to see if is there problem but with no luck! Trying GPSfix now! I am wondering if this is a Radio problem or a handset problem! I hope it is not a handset problem!!
Using GPS Status is saying I can lock on to 2 satellites in my room but I lose them very fast. I need to test in other places around Newport and Cardiff to see if I can get similar results.

basically yes...
Basically it's because this phone uses aGPS, not GPS. And Qualcomm's aGPS chip has some issues. Read this...

yes but i think that radio play his part too...i was on 20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11 and now i'm on 20.28d.30.0805U_3805.04.02.01 and i can see that gps lock much faster now
maybe is placebo

Yes likely as aGPS pulls satellite info from your cell towers. You may still find though, as I do, that even with the best radio, you'll still need to occasionally run GPS fix every few weeks. My old desire never had this. Mine will get a lock in 2 seconds now, but for some reason if I don't use GPS for a couple of weeks, I'll be back with waiting and waiting for a lock.
I may be noticing it more because oranges 3g service in my area for months (t-mobile merger issues it seems) has been so poor that I've turned 3g off to avoid shocking battery drain and hopeless intermittent data services. I rely on wifi. Now I know why I'm not getting a good lock sometimes. I use an off line gps app as I can't rely on orange 3g to let google maps work. With 3g off I'm not pulling down the aGPS data. This GPS fix app (however it does it) solves it.

ive noticed during primes boot up screen there is a gps device being provisioned with a bus number, but i cant seem to get gps to work at all... does the wifi only version have gps and if not what is this device found by the boot screen...
and if there is a device but its locked out what are the chances of being able to hack it to operate?

YES both the Standard and the Prime have a GPS. But the Primes GPS is basically null and void. It doesn't work. Its a hardware flaw. no software patch can fix it.
im using the tf101 b70 and prime rom i should have been more specific... so the tf101 wifi only does have gps... sweet! throw in 3g huawei dongle support and im set
woo got the gps test app to show up, thats awesome... but the reception seems weak, is there anywhere to plug in a gps antennae (or wifi antenna while im asking) like there is sometimes on phones? or anything i can do to boost the reception and or the quality of it

make sure it has direct view of the satellites. and you might want to download a GPS app to make sure that you have good signal.
Download "GPS Status" from the market. Tap the menu button, then hit tools and then "Manage A-GPS State". Clear the GPS history and redownload, then restart your tab. If that doesn't work, PM me.
Since you posted this in the forum for the original transformer, I must just say that the TF101-B1 I have, has the best GPS I've ever used. Beats the phones I've used and even a friends dedicated GPS module.
The Prime on the ther hand, I don't expect very much out of it's GPS.

I can swear to transformers real GPS took it out one day (no wifi) and it was able to show me my exacty location for as long as i used it in google maps
That's what really shocked me tbh. Over Thanksgiving I was out of state and my phones AGPS crapped out the moment I hit the boarder, with WiFi and 3G open. Sitting in a house where I couldn't even get cellular signal for miles, my TF101 was able to tell me exactly where the hell I was standing....with no WiFi connection and being 300 miles from home/cached territories.
Guess the Prime will be worse than my old phone but heck, the original TF101 is a nice GPS.

There was someone complaining in another thread about the GPS in the transformer,
He was comparing another sitting side by side.. and I think he was unhappy with the time frames to lock in..
I use my alot around China.. and in the programs thread have directed a few to a modded google maps for those that are locked in behind firewalls.. ([APP MOD] Google Maps 6.0.3)

Might help anyone that is having troubles..
There is a problem with GPS Status. The gps signal drops when you go to another program or to the home screen. I'll open GPS Status first to get signal then go & open Google Maps. Google Maps can't find my location right away because there is no gps signal.
Yes, my TF101 B80 does have a working GPS.
My euro titan has been having GPS problems for over a month to two months now, all my navigation apps do not work the arrow icon simply stays put as I drive and can't assist me with turn by turn navigation.
I flashed my first custom rom and the problem temporarily alleviated itself. I had navigation for a day or two and then it failed again. The gps worked one last time before I flashed my second custom rom and navigation once again does not work but I have a feeling it will again when it feels like it .
Does anyone else have this issue and does anyone have any tips or tricks on fixing this or is it simply hardware and I have to send it back to HTC repair?

And the only troubleshooting I could do was simply click the location services switch off and on

First touch takes lot of time to respond
Hi All,
I was facing the issue of complete non responsive touch , I thought digitizer might be the culprit (as I had replaced the LCD 3 months back) , but after lot of ROM flashes , touch started working again suddenly it stopped working . I thought it might be some software issue but didn't make much sense because I had tried all combination of removing SD , clearing data/cache and still issue appeared here.
Luckily I saw someone in this thread told about replacing the battery and that started to give some results.
Now , the issue is if the phone is in standby for long time , it takes a lot of time to start responding to touch , I have to keep pressing at various points on screen and after a minute it starts responding .
What is the exact issue , is it battery or the screen , or some syncing between both ?
Screen Freeze
Hi Guys,
I am facing issue of screen freeze for my canvas 2 a110. First it used to freeze for few mins after pressing the touch at different places it worked. But since few days it has stopped working. When i tried to do it hard reset the select button is not working. So, nothing is working. Anyone faced some issue? What do i do now?
Thanks in Advance.
I brought karbonn a12 phone with ICS 4.0.4 12 days before but from the day of buying there is WiFi problems. I.e. the Wi-Fi only connects in full range. It gets connected when I m near the router. It is never connected in average or good range it needs excellent network only. But other phone like karbonn a1+ and colours x factor and Samsung galaxy pocket gets goon connection even in poor network quality. So it is not my router problem
The Wi-Fi even gets disconnected even in full range after any call.
Anyone please help.
I m new to forum so we please move this thread to proper section.
This isnt ur routers problem,so u cant do or change the wifi hardware,so the final way is contacting the service center,and get repaired...

It seems that there is a issue with Android 4.0.4.
