How to tell if GPS hardware is broken - HTC Sensation

I am using Albino's CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 ROM, which works great. However, my GPS is not working. I've tried a bunch of apps from Google Play to try and resolve this issue but no luck. Is there a way to directly check the GPS hardware itself to determine if it is broken?

Hi,
Very weird that you have a hardware problem.
You should make a cwm backup and flash a sense ROM like Mike's ARHD o elegancia.
if it works

If you want to check a hardware problem I would suggest you to try some stable rom like Stock,RevolutionHD,ViperS or Revelation to see if your gps works on some of them.Don't forget that CM10.1 versions are steel in testing mode.

Thanks guys. I'll give the alternate ROM approach a try...

Ah crap. Installed ARHD (which I have used before) and the GPS still didn't work. Looks like I may have gotten to end of life for my Sensation, a whole 2 years, by gosh

Did you uninstall the previous and reinstall? Try that, because it works fine here and other members stating in the comments that it works as well. As for now, it's definitely something wrong on your end
It FC for 90% of ppl on various htc phones

Yes, Viber works with HTC Sensation ICS
It's force closing if you don't uninstall previous version. Make a fresh install and it works flawless.

I just made the jump to ICS and I'm enjoying it sooo far not to mention that now Vibe works with ICS

Confirmed, uninstalling the previous version of Viber and getting the updated version on the market allowed it to start without crashing.

I used vibe, called my sister overseas and no problems whatsoever after at least 15. Quality was great as always.

Camera not working

Hi,
I have been flashing roms for ages on this phone and my desire so I have a fairly good knowledge, but recently while I was using rcmix sense 4 Rom (Im not saying this rom was anything to do with it) I was unable to open the camera so tried re flashing, super wipes, fixing permissions, different sense roms, cm9 roms and even restoring back ups but still my main camera does not work. My front camera doesn't either but hasn't for ages.

tried going stock by flashing an RUU?
No haven't tried that is it likely to do more than a super wipe?
Thanks

Reflash firmware first. If that doesn't solve it, flash RUU.
Here is the guide for RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26541181 (XDA link)
This is becoming a common thing, mine has done the same thing and become non-responsive. Wipe, firmware, different roms has not helped me. Camera will not start.

The last alternative is to flash RUU. There is no more that can be done in terms of software; it has to be some kind of hardware issue.

All fixed took case off and tapped camera end of the floor, was bored lol but it worked
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Lol nothing like getting a bigger hammer. I did the same thing and now my camera also works. I tried everything first. I took a small screwdriver and tapped on the brass colored area around the back camera and now it works!!
Seems like the least technical solution is the best. Not sure how long it will last tho. Don't think a guide can really be written for this tho lol.

My camera not work.
Have you found a solution?
Unlocked, s-on, root, hboot:1.27.000, android revolution hd 6.6.7, 4ext recovery
Sorry for my bad english. I'm a Brazilian.
Hmm, sounds exactly like my problem. Can't fix it with software either, and fixed it with pressing on the camera itself. But after a couple of weeks, it is now back and I can't fix it anymore... :/ Bad hardware...
It also looks like the camera is not entirely horizontal (right side lower than left side)

[ROM][Sense 4.0][FINISHED] OrDroid 9.0.0

I have a question. I love this [[ROM][Sense 4.0][FINISHED] OrDroid 9.0.0 ], but one thing I've notcied is instead of saying 4G up top for the data connection, it says H. Is there any work around for this?
Also, I see people are talking about another ROM that might be better than this. Is this the ROM ViperS 1.1.0 ?
If so, how is it any better?
Thank you
You can flash the sense 4G patch to replace the h.and I have heard by some people that vipers awesome and some have said that they didn't like it.try lighting sense 4. Take care...

Sadly this didn't work. It caused a lot of issues with things being forced closed. I had to reinstall the ROM in order to get the bar back at the top.
Anything else you guys can think of?
Did it say aosp if so you cant use it.thats fir senseless roms.

Severe lag using sense o maniac 4.0 v 1.4.

I am using the mentioned Rom yet I am getting severe lag. I have tried using different kernel settings using the installer and done a clean install but no luck whatsoever. Can any one offer ideas?
Sent from my Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
Hi there, you might want to post this in the sense o manic developers forums as they are more familiar with this rom and fixes for its issues .also everyone on that forum will be using that very same Rom and know much more about it. I personally have never ran that particular Rom so I can not say. But I do think you can get better help on their development forum. I hope this helps you and wish you the best! I'm sure that on that forum you will likely find a fix for your issue. Best wishes and good luck.

After a few more posts on your part they will allow you to post on developers site . Sorry I forgotten about that rule and didn't know you hadn't posted enough to access the site. Just make a few more posts and they will grant access. Hope this helps.

use an AOKP/CM rom.. problem solved
Hi, sorry for the delay. The problem I have with miui roms is the extreme battery drain. I used them when I had the galaxy s but couldn't use it much. Then I chose the amestris rom which was amazingly smooth and brilliant battery life (almost 3 days). I can't seem to find this for HTC. I like this rom, but now the battery life seems to be getting worse and still keep getting moments of lag. I wonder whether I need to wipe battery stats once a fortnight?

Best Sense 5 Rom for S4 HTC One S

What's the best stable sense 5 Rom with everything working?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Your options are limited, but everyone seems to like MaximusHD.
sorry but the MaximusHD is not stable or say it so..too much problems...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445392 ..for me
Can't confirm that. It's the most stable and fastest Rom I've ever had.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Agree to that. I never thought that my One S could be as fast as it is today. To those guys who have or have had problems maybe don't follow the instructions very well. I don't have any major issues so far, and i'm currently using this as my daily driver. The only thing i have concerns now is the battery life. It's a little bit faster to drain, but maybe a few more drains and charges it'll be normal again, or maybe because of the stock kernel which doesn't have an option to undervolt.
After the first installation I had a little problem with voice search.
Factory reset and retry the installation - now everything works perfectly.
MaximusHd is great. The only people who have problems are the one that didn't follow instructions.

There is no storage issue. It only exists for people who can't follow simple directions.
