Tested it out today, counted from when I opened OCN8 and it took exactly 30 seconds to get a fix. Perfectly acceptable if you ask me, especially seeing as I'll only use it for long drives.
great to know man
Thx for sharing
Did you try any button mapping software?
With or with out A-GPS??

With A-GPS, I don't think you can turn it off.
Only one GPS setting: Enable AGPS: Checkbox.
No, I haven't done any button mapping to the other person who asked.
Is the device as fast as shown in unwired videos?

Yep, 26 seconds for me using Garmin.
And yes, mine is as fast as the videos. Definitely an improvement over the Diamond, despite the Diamond's speed improvements with recent cooked ROM's.
Amazing what a bit of extra RAM will do...
Great, thanks for the info
Since you're using Garmin
I've always found it's notifications to be quite lower than other GPS s/w even when placing an attention tone prior
Is it any louder on the Raph speakers in comparison with Kaiser?

You know what, I've not managed to get a GPS fix using Copilot 7 or Google Maps.
Strange. Very quick for me too.

Make sure to download QuickGPS before you use those programs, that may be your issue.

Fast like, TF3D being fast? Check this video out, AT&T model, 100% out of the box and not 1 tweak applied:

Now with tweaks, it's unreal.
Nope, still not working.
Have you tried GpsTest?

Oh, no...what's that? Is it something built in or is it an app I have to install?
EDIT:
Copilot has a GPS Status thing built in. Looks like I can only see one satellite. Kind of weird.

Are you outside or inside some building?
GPS works fine for me in both Google Maps and TomTom Navigator. Indoors is not so great, but whilst in a car it was fine all the way home on a 30 minute journey!

I'm in my house, my Kaiser right next to it is working fine.
GPS isn't supposed to work indoors... If you need it indoors, you may also need to be living in a psychiatric ward. :\
I got full signal in front of my house according to OCN8's little GPS status bar, for those who care.
As mentioned earlier, QuickGPS will help (hopefully as it has been useless for me since Kaiser WM6.1 ROMs started to be cooked)
BUT
You need to give it time first to aquire GPS fix alone THEN go back to your PC to download the QuickGPS data
To make sure you have everything afterwards successful,
reboot your PDA and see if you can aquire a faster fix.
You can test with GPSTest attached here.
If it didn't solve your problem, check with other fellow Raph holder their Radio versions and yours.
If you are to flash, do not forget to HardSPL your device.
Good luck and give us more feedback

@fireblade63
I'd say the notification volume in Garmin is about the same as it is in the Kaiser, so I agree - it's certainly not the loudest, but I'm someone who likes the Sat-Nav turned down a bit anyway. I hate having the things shouting at me, especially if there are other people in the car who I'm trying to talk to.
My father-in-law, on the other hand, could never cope with the Garmin / Raphael combination because he turns his TomTom XL up to full volume, which drives me mental on the odd occasion I have to experience it!
So, no, the Raphael is no louder as far as I can tell.
I bought sygic aura. He finds everything, points of interest, addresses, petrol stations, shops but my current location three blocks differs from the actual location. Even when I'm in the car nothing happens. My arrow is not with me. What is the problem here? is because the GPS is not designed for the HTC HD mini android?
greetings sven
If you look on the status page it says gps is not working
Haha, that made my day!

no there is something with my gps. it worked always no problems, but now for about 3 months my htc don't have any signal, even on WINDOWS MOBILE No signal. so i let it be , just wait 8 months than can i go for a new phone. . I now used my nokia N95 for navigation
Which WinMo ROM do you have? Have you changed it 3 months ago?
no , i had the lastest winmo version, now the oldest because i used a hard reset. so i guess i have on this moment the oldest. but i had this one a while ago : _HTC HD Mini_RUU_Photon_HTC_NLD_1.36.404.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship
For GPS issues, the first post in the tutorial "Install Android on HTC HD Mini" under the heading of known issues states in red font: GPS software in WM will not find satellites if you turn off GPS from location settings in Android
You should try the solution that is detailed in this thread. You have to follow this step even if you reflash any WM6.5 stock ROMS because reflashing won't fix the GPS issue. I know this from experience.
It is also discussed at length here
It is assumed you are using the latest build of Android for HD Mini. If there are continued issues, try a completely clean install (remove all old Android files from your SD card). If you still can't get GPS (both in Android and WM6.5), then maybe consider it is a hardware fault.

im sure it's a hardware fault. i have yesterday buy a adapt bluetooth gps and it is working fine. Fast fix even in the house. I think my internal GPS is dead. I used a lot . Almost 4 hours a day, 1 year long.

I guess drivers are different for a BT GPS when compared to the internal one. So if the BT works, it does not ay anything about the internal gps?

I would say if you do a hard reset in WiMo then you should see at least some satellites. Did you also try the app androsensor in Android? That tells you the status of all sensors, including the gps (i.e. location and number of sats). In that case you don't need a program like Sygic to check it. It works quite nice. Maybe worth checking?

looks bad. I understood you opened the device since you had issues with the proximity sensor? Are you sure you didnot damage any antenna cable or connector? I know there are 2 of them that are quite vulnerable, don't know where they are for.

unfortunately, no, unless you have s-off with a *working* clockwork mod and recovery
its a script in a zip file that needs to be flashed before android loads
Yes, won't work for now.
Maybe you can use A-GPS injector, I use it, don't know if GPS is really faster to aquire with this app, since for me, the Sensation is really fast to get satellites signal, muuuch faster than my HD2

Not sure what problem you're trying to fix. I just watched the video linked in that post supposedly showing the script working and it's worse than my Sensation works out of the box. It took 29s to lock and the accuracy never got better than 36 ft. I usually get a lock in 10s or less and the accuracy gets down to 9-12 ft.
Can't answer your question about whether it's doable now.
It's like they changed all the low level code that deals with the actual signal.
There doesn't appear to be any filtering or averaging going on anymore, which is causing my readout to bounce around by 15meters or so all the time. It didn't used to do this on older maps versions.
When I'm sitting at stoplights it says...turn left...continue straight...turn right...turn right...in 500 feet, turn make a U-turn...
It does this as my location constantly changes.
Does anyone else experience this? What to do about it?
Revert to an older version.
Nope, I surely don't have the same issues as you.

thanks guys. have high accuracy mode on. Running custom ROM (Paranoid) and Kernel. Is anyone else doing same as me?
Maybe i have the same problem when change direction, forma example turn right or turn left is slow. Anyway i will upload a video ti understand.
With androits can you share your GPS lock?
This is mine outdoor.... For me is very poor my signal but i dont know if There are a device that can get more SNR and more satellities.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Mine is been the same before the the new maps. It's never been great, but good enough. What annoys me the most is that EVERYtime I open navigation I get a message saying that i can improve accuracy if I enable wifi and then have to choose ignore or settings... Used to only do this once.

see my videos
navigation is exact like me?
is normal? or i can get rma?
Who else got gps issues with this device? When location is set to gps only and data turned off, gps doesn't work. In my previous devices it would work no problem.

You certainly have hardware problem... Try the GPS tester on play store (location on GPS only) and if it can't find the signal, you have hardware problem

I spent all day figuring out this problem. When in "GPS ONLY" mode, I can't connect to GPS. After trying various forum suggestions, this one worked for me. I downloaded the app called GPS Status & Toolbar in the Google Play Store. It launches every time I open Google Maps and can now lock me onto the GPS Satellites. From my tests, I was able to lock onto GPS in 25 seconds when standing by the window at the office, 50 seconds from my office desk, and I'd imagine faster when outdoors. Hope this helps.
