Download fasterfix from market & after installing choose the area it should then lock in 30 sec, if not then report back we can give you hardware fix to get gps working.

You will need your phone to be rooted to make this work else only hardware fix will work.

Previously i also experienced this problem... But when i updated to ddkp3 i have gps lock in less than 10 sec of minimum 5 sats

Hi, i'm from Argentina and we have officialy Froyo (UBKB1).
With this FW I had problems with GPS and I did compile possible solutions:
* Install another firmware: XXKB3 (Froyo), XXKPE/KPH/KPM (Ginger);
* Install apps:
GPS Aids (http://forum.xda-dev...6&highlight=GPS)
GPS Booster
GPS optimisation
GPS Status
* Modify the file gps.conf (this would be for aGPS)
* Trya different configurations in the LbsTestMode (Froyo: *#*#3214789650#*#*), http://forum.xda-dev...0&highlight=GPS , http://forum.xda-dev...6&highlight=GPS
* To add a piece of aluminium paper http://forum.xda-dev...4&postcount=142
* To calibrate the GPS: conect to WiFi, try to fix GPS; disconect and reconect 5 or more times http://forum.xda-dev...4&highlight=GPS
Well, i tried all that possibilities without changing FW.
The way that works for me (without change my FW) is:
I start the Lbstestmode, "Test Application";,then "Performance test" and the GPS gets locked right the way. Then i start the GPS app that I need (Gmaps, Navigation, etc).
Important: It can see a lot of satellites but with those under 20dBHz don't lock and need at least 3 of them.
Hope it would be any help to others.

Mild Wild 5.0 on HTC Desire

Hi,
Becouse, I'm new I need to post my message here in General forum, sorry for that!
I have problem with my HTC Desire, after I installed Mild Wild 5.0 Stable-Release.
The problem is my GPS, it doesn't work. I don't see the notification icon when I run GPS.
GPS Test and GPS Status doesn't see any satelites and of course, my gps navigation doesn't work. I try to clean cache, dalvik-cache, install AGPS Patch from this forum. Almost every type of this patch... but any thing helps.
Then I try look for some information about blocking GPS in source code,. I found information that only in betas sometimes the GPS is blocked by programmers, in stable releases they never do this, also only couple of people had the same problem, so it could be tricky.
FYI: on my original ROM (from HTC: Android 2.2.2) the GPS was working perfect.
Do you have some ideas what could be a problem?
Thank you.

You can't post in the Dev forum, but you can (and should) post this in the Q&A forum for your device.

This might be a silly question, but have you tried explicitly turning on your GPS and then opening an app like GPS Essentials? I mean this instead of relying on the app to turn it on.

I instelled MildWild V4.3 with Oxygen 2.3.7 and now everything works fine.

Let me guess - is that is Desire PVT4? (It'll say on the recovery-loader screen.)
I had exactly the same problem: on a PVT4, with MW-CM5 no GPS, with MW v4.3 the GPS is fine.
But on my older Desire PVT1, both versions work fine with the GPS.

[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.

GPS not working for navigation on LOS14.1 20170717

Currently running LOS14.1 build 20170707
Has anyone experienced GPS issues? In particular when using navigation apps like Google Maps or Waze? The GPS can find your location but besides that doesn't aid in navigation. GPS apps keep saying searching for GPS signal...
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Navigation was working fine for me in CM 13.1

GPS in los14 isn't as good as cm13. Nothing you can do about it.
