IGO 8 - GPS Troubleshooting

Hi everybody. Has anybody the same problem with IGO8 and GPs. When The GPS is off I can use the software for map browsing, route calculating etc.. At the moment GPS is connected to satelites the application shuts down without any message warning.
Do you have any ideas how to fix this problem.
I have also tested TomTom, Google navigator, GPS tuner and other navi soft and all of them work fine.
Thany x for help.

no problem here, i can use igo 8 to navigate fine with gps

Dear Matelko. Your software and whole system seems to be veeery stupid and the problem can be maybe OS related. As I know,some of your apps are working strange,but my not,even we have the same packages used. Just share iGo8 with me and we will test it this weekend(maybe) if we will have enough time and a bit less of work around the cottage or with cars.
Btw,welcome to this discussion Mathew. You need to watch it all and you will get too much infos about Raphael.

1. Update to the latest version of iGO8.
2. Disable Assisted GPS (it is off by default) using Advanced Config 3.2 found on this forum.
Works fine for me, only a little lag.

That lag I know,but I can live with it. My physicall position is 50metres before the position that shows TomTom. Btw.TomTom is working fine for me without aGPS. With aGPS I had no reliable fix available. I like TT7,because of the maps coverage in comparison with iGo. I said goodbye to iGo at all.

GPS suddenly Not working, in any application,

hi, i have had an unusual issue in that the GPS on the device does not work any more, it did before around 2 weeks ago when i used google maps with the compass working as well.
i have tried soft resets and to check the com ports (i am unsure of the defaults for com port, is it 0?) and have tried to set them manually and also to allow the device to automatically set them. The digital compass has allways been working.
i have installed a fue gps applications recently, since i last used the gps successfully, and have noticed the gps not working in any of these and then not working in the pre-installed applications;
(installed in descending order)
-iGO 8
-GPS sport computer
-wifi fo fum 2
-GPS speedo
-hd speedo
-gps cycle computer
i have uninstalled these since and the GPS still is not being picked up in the digital compass application and google maps (both the preinstalled apps on the original ROM out the box, and were working with gps around 2 weeks back).
i have made sure i am always in clear sight of the sky, but no prevail their.
if some one could please help me on what to do to regain the functionality of the gps again, i would be great full.
p.s. has anyone else had this issue or a similar one?

hmmm.....
Is this custom rom or stock rom you a using? Either way you should try reflashing the rom then see if google mapes works. I would suggest installing telenav if your provider supports it as it is subscription based. It is IMHO the best gps tool for smartphones out there there. If you are interested in downloading telenav, I have .cab file of the software that is compatible with the hd2.

htc hd mini - workaround to fix GPS on 4.0.4. ICS from munjeni

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

[Q] navigation problem

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.

Gmaps not working with location

Hi all,
My google maps cannot locate through GPS. I have GPS on and set to high accuracy, and I uninstalled and reinstalled maps. Maps work, but locate my device with the little blue arrow.
I am using Nexus 5 with CyanogenMod 11 latest monthly snapshot.
Was working until yesterday.

Oh I forgot to mention that I installed GPS status and toolbox, it is saying that my GPS is disabled

Run a different rom is my only comment. CM is good at creating bugs. ?

OK will do, thanks!
