I bought a HTC fuze from USA and I took it to europe macedoni.I decoded it but I have problems with the GPS.every program I install for GPS wont work it is always searching satelites.What do I need to do?
Also I cannot use the radio any help about it?
Also the youtube application that I have wont play clips? dont know why?
and the instant messaging is not working also, if I try to log on to msn is stays on the status connecting and can stay like that for hours
Anyone help please!!
Did you change to a local carrier when you went to Europe? Chances are you have the wrong settings for data and therefore none of the programs that require internet will work.
Also, for the GPS, install Google Maps, enable GPS in that. Then switch to your GPS program while leaving Google Maps running. It helps the Fuze get a GPS lock might quicker.
Sorry, double post.
I installed the google maps and I turned it on.It says looking for GPS and then nothing.It says your location is temporary unavailable
help?
Hi all,
1.
I have created an application to test my GPS module on my device.
It works well thus far. However, I wonder if there is any possibility can enable
the GPS module without manually.
Here is the scenario, when i execute the application installed on my android
phone, if my GPS is disabled, a dialog will pop up to request the user to enable
the GPS module. Then the screen will turn into the GPS setting option, the user
needs to enable the GPS module manually.
Is there any possibility to enable the GPS module automatically when I execute
my aps on android? I was trying to google it but all reply is this behavior
involves the security issue so that there is other way to do it.
2.
I have an application which can help me test the wifi connectivity.
Again, it works well.
However,is it possible to transfer a file or send data using something like netperf? It is valuable to test this as Tx can use more power and I want to make sure it is functioning well.
Any reply is highly expected.
Thanks all
Can someone please guide me a direction to go?
Any reply will be very appreciated.
From out of the box I've been having GPS issues. It won't get a lock when I use navigation. I've tried different places, different apps (waze and google maps) and different times (different days). If I restart the phone, it'll get a lock after about 10 seconds.
What would cause the GPS to not work unless the phone is restarted?
I contacted OnePlus and they all but told me to go screw myself. They suggested that I should walk around to get a GPS lock and if it persists that I should reset my phone. I reset my phone but all that did was waste two hours of my life re-installing apps and settings.
Any ideas? Anyone else with this issue? The phone is perfect besides this =(
Can't say I'm sure, as I haven't had any issues, except if I caused them. You let google apps have location access in the settings? Are you wake blocking any google location services?
+1 to what roxxorz said. If OP applied the workaround to Google Play Services and denied access to location it can cause a problem.
Also in addition to that make sure your location is set to "High Accuracy" as well as enabling WiFi.
Do note that when your phone is on High Accuracy it is draining the most battery.
I also have the same problem when I m on stock XNPH25R. Have to reboot in order to get a lock from the GPS.

But after I switch to nightlies, no such GPS issue, works like a charm.
I am actually on stock 30O cm11s and I have a GPS lock in two out three seconds. Try to download GPS status app from Google play

Sorry I'm a complete noob when it comes to the advance stuff. I know nightlies are cyanogenmods quick version changes that may sometimes have small bugs, but never tried updating phone with nightlies. I've always just done the standard OTA updates on my previous phones.
GPS is always on high accurac. Surprisingly today, GPS was working like a charm. I haven't done anything that should affect this positive change.
What is wake locking?

It could be just a thing. Sometimes I'll have apps [maps] that'll lock up, like if they tried to connect and I stopped it / turned off data. At that point killing / force closing the app works.
Normally I'd say if you don't know, don't worry about it, but wake lock is where an app / process keeps the phone awake and keeps the phone from sleeping properly, which leads to more battery drain. Google play services is notorious for waking the device for nonsense, so more advanced users block it. If you have no issues, I'd recommend leaving it alone.
Same problem here

I'm seeing the same thing. GPS was working fine for a week or so, but when I went to use Waze this morning it wouldn't get a lock. GPSTools showed satellites, but wouldn't lock either. Reboot fixed it. A few hours later, same problem. Reboot once again fixed it. This is all stock.
I don't have anything to suggest, but wanted to add to the evidence that there is a problem.
I did install a couple of apps from the app store between the last time I saw the GPS work normally and this morning, so I'll try uninstalling them to see if that helps. I killed them from the task manager, but that didn't help.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble too, but glad I'm not going nuts. You're only the second person I've read that has the same issue I have. OnePlus support was of no help nor did they admit that the issue was real. I hope they'll figure this one out, cause I can't.
Please vote on this issue in CM's bugtracker: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-115
Hints
Here's some new data. As I mentioned, my GPS was working fine up until a few days ago. In those few days, I installed 2 apps: "UP", by Jawbone, and "MyFitnessPal". Both of them use the GPS for some sort of logging.
Anyway, this morning I installed "AppOps" from the App Store. It's the one by Sylvain Galand, and the package is fr.slvn.appops. It doesn't need root, apparently. I used that to disable location access from both UP and MyFitnessPal. Since then, my GPS has been working fine again.
I think there's something broken under the LocationManager implementation in this version of Cyanogen. Seems like some apps are able to break it somehow. The other thread about this subject points fingers at Dragon Dictate, too. Whatever it is, apps shouldn't be able to wedge a system service like this.

I honestly hope that they at the very least acknowledge that this issue exists. GPS Navigation is a primary use for mobile. I haven't installed anything that would break location. All I Have is Waze and Google.
Hi guys, i have a rooted H60-L04. I'm an expert user. i think who my gps hardware is dead because doesn't work more. I can't use the apps that need it. When i use Google Maps, my signal is on just for few seconds and after i can read signal lost. i have already tried software solutions, apps solutions (gps fix, gps status and similar). I have done normal reset, deep reset. Nothing all this has fixed the problem.
Is possible to change the GPS module (physical hardware)?
if is possible, where i can buy it?
how can get the model of module?
do you have another solution at my trouble?
Hello, I have a big problem using Google Maps app. This app does not use GPS. Other apps work perfectly with GPS. To use Google Map I need to terminate Maps and restart. After doing this the GPS work for some time.
My Phone is 10.0.1 firmware.
What can I do to fix problem?
Thanks in advance
Anyone find a solution to this issue? I'm having the same problem, bit with the Lyft driver app. It won't actually connect to the GPS after it's initially started.
Try this app from the Play Store. I use the paid version (pro) but there is a free version also. At least you will be able to determine if you have a hardware problem or not.

Every other app using GPS work without problem. GPS fix very fast... Only Google Maps fail. I have checked permission of app, also activated precise position using GPS and wifi and GSM... I can't understand the problem...
