Hi all,
I have the newest MTCD firmware 5.1.1 from Malaysk installed because on stock rom my GPS failed.
Unfortunately this did not help.
Any suggestions?
Oh never mind, I discovered that hundreds of people have gps problems with Lollipop and Google does not care.
Does anyone know of a Kitkat rom for a MTCD device?
In Kitkat all worked like a charm.

i have the same problem.......
the first time my gps see 20 satellite end have a connexion with 8 of this
after this the next day i can t see noone satellite...
i don t understand why...
It is a Lollipop problem. After Google's update from Kitkat to Lollipop the gps on many users devices have gps troubles.
Mine worked also in the beginning correctly, but after 1 or 2 days no satellites are found anymore.
Since I have a MTCD device, no Kitkat roms are available.
Look here for more information: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81140
and you have resolved the problem?????
No, Google should come with a fix, or perhaps the developers here find a solution.
Did you read the thread I included? It is a very big issue that renders our units wothless regarding navigation.
yes i read ....and i look for someone the resolve the problem with phone....not for me... i hope that google or someonelse fix the problem fast
OK, I solved my problem.
After inspecting the HU I discovered that the gps antenna connector was faulty.
So I did had 3 volt on the radio connector, but the gps connector had a loose wire.
Repaired it and problem solved.
Perhaps you have a similar problem....
thak you for information i try to look for it.....if you can .... put a picture of your work? thank you
Can you tell me about the fix? I have the same problem on erisin unit for e46, sometimes it works i have signal, sometimes no signal... And it stay with no signal untill the car is off for 2-3 hours, from where shoud i start?

Hi all,
Problem with the GPS on my Orbit 2! Though so far I love it to bits really.
I have done a search here but cant find anything.. I really hope it is just me asking the wrong question. Anyway someone must know something.
The problem is this:
The GPS with Copilot was working amazingly when I first got it. I was knocked out by it.
I haven't used it much but when I have I was delighted.
However, recently I have been noticing that the number of satellite signals has been going down. It has also been taking longer and longer to get a fix.
Today I could not use it at all, even when it got a "fix" It was showing me no where near the right road.!! Have some satellites fallen out of the sky!!??
Currently it has 3 days before I need to do the QuickGPS thing. So that should be ok.. I will try again with the update but is there any known problem with the GPS. If there are problems with GPS do they normally behave like that or just stop altogether?
If there is a problem I guess I need to send it back.. :-(
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
Its very painful when you get up in the morning and try to depend on something that is not working!

Same problem
I also got the same problem, but I found out that a reboot solved the issue. After the reboot it found the satellites again.
Hi Guys.
Just wondering if anyone has been able to solve the problem of tomtom7 taking like 5-10mins to find a valid gps singal when installed on the htc touch pro using the internal a-gps.
Sorry if this has been covered. I've tried doing searches and there is a lot of discussion but can't seem to find a thread that actually lists a working solution.
Can anyone help?????
so that is a no?
i thought this was a common problem with a lot of people?
any solutions?
gps fix
for me upgrading to 6.5 rom did the trick
Are you referring to the leaked windows mobile 6.5 rom beta??
I use Tomtom 7 and have no problem at all getting a GPS lock. With the original radio it took around 40 seconds, now with radio 1.12.25.19 it locks in around 10-15 seconds.
But I had to uninstall Google Maps for it to work.
I also use TomTom 7 but I dont use aGPS. It use to take time earlier when I had AT&T stock ROM. After I flashed with Energy ROM 2.0 Win Mo 6.1, the satellite locks pretty fast. However it is still not 10-15 seconds.
This might be as I have kept the radio same.
Do you all guys use aGPS?
I have aGPS disabled, because the GPS doesn't work properly if I enable it. Maybe Brazil has poor aGPS support, so I'm glad the GPS itself is pretty good.
Well im using my htc touch pro on the optus network in australia.
Checking device info shows my radio as: 1.02.25.19
Im guessing this is an old version.
I dont really wanna change anything thats going to void my warranty and the whole purpose of getting this device was so i could put tomtom on it and i didn't have to carry a gps receiver with me, i wanted to use the interneal gps.
Is there any software tweaks out there or is it purely down to dodgy internal gps/ dodgy htc rom
juzz18,.. check the HTC homepages.
there's an offical fix for the GPS fix issue that should blow your warranty
juzz18,.. check the HTC homepages.
What I meant is...
there's an official fix for the GPS fix issue that should NOT blow your warranty
hey that wasn't there the last time i checked!
They've just released it by the looks of the date.
I'll try it out and let you know.
Thanks Heaps!!

I had this radio before, and a few weeks ago I decided do flash a new one (1.12.25.19). I was a little afraid because I had never done that.
Well, now GPS locks 2-3 times faster, finds more satellites, and sometimes locks even indoors, like inside my house.

Ahhh ok. Well the one you flashed to is that an official radio release and if i was to flash to it would it void warranty on the device??
I fought with the tomtom software for a while and eventually gave up. Found a thread discussing amAzeGPS and installed it to the storage card. Works pretty well. Locks on really quickly. Might give it a try.
Anyone with Energy ROM 2.0 tried this?

For me on Energy ROM 2.0, Google Maps gets a fix in under 10 seconds, and Chartcross GPS Test gets a fix just as quickly. From what I can tell, attempting to get a cold fix with TomTom does NOT work, at ALL. However if I start up GPS Test THEN TomTom, it fixes quickly.
Thanks for the reply. Yes I do start Chartcross GPS test first and then TomTom
It take 20-25 seconds sometimes more to get the lock. It is much better than last time when I was on AT&T stock ROM
So I guess there is no use of this patch yet for me
I apologize for the bad title,
When I connect to my Mi Band via BT, my WiFi stops functioning. If I disable BT, WiFi starts working, but then I can't connect to BT. I'm on 5.0.2, and I had CM12, and I also tried Slim Rom, but the issue persisted across both ROMs.
Does anyone have an idea as to what could be causing this?

There were some discussions about this some weeks ago, it seems like it's a general issue with our phone and nobody found a solution. It is happening on KK as well not only on LP. You could try a Sense ROM but I think it's the same. Only ROM that could properly work might be an official one but that's Android 4.1.2 and Sense 4 at best

Ohh, that's fine then. I thought it was just me. I tried searching on here, Googling it, and came up with practically nothing.
I have the same problem .

Hello,
I have the same problem since update to Android 6.0.
I have done all OTA update and i've the lastest version from their website... but no GPS.
I have opened a ticket on their support but the answer is always :
" Hello, we are still working on it. Updates will come some days later.
Have a nice day!".
I send us 3 messages in one month and i'm still waiting from us...
Hope they will find a solution quickly !
Bye
Still no new update from ulefone, when can i use my GPS, with a stable signal?
I have the same issue. BTW: fingerprint sensor wakes up the device randomly, with no finger on it. LED lights not working even with the newest firmware.
For GPS: mobile GSM data are in conflict with GPS. There will be NO WAY how to SW fix this.
Returning this device to seller. This is the worst lack of tests prior manufacturing I have ever seen..
Hello,
3 days ago I dropped my phone, it survived thanks to the official rubbery case, it just rebooted by itself and nothing more, not event a scratch.
Yesterday, I've noticed Google Maps having a hard time to locate me, I tried several things, reboot, another gps app, even the app GPS Test but I can't get a single GPS signal, I think my gps may have died from the drop but I'm still unsure.
I'd like to test it through the hardware test you can usually access with the emui secret code but I can't find a working one on EMUI 5, is there any secret code for hardware test in EMUI 5 ? What can I try ?
Thanks
dead GPS
Similar problem but without dropping the phone...
After about two months of owning the phone I just realized that the GPS doesn´t work at all.
It went unnoticed because I always use wifi+mobile data option that is sufficient to locate me in Google maps. Only when I needed real navigation I realized there is a problem.
It certainly is not caused by mechanical damage because the phone is masked from the day 1 and had never been dropped.
I did a factory reset with no success (i am on emui5, b360). Applications for testing GPS signal can not locate any satellite, let alone get a fix on. It looks as if the GPS is completely dead.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
Or some advice what to do before I take it to service center...
Hi, i bought a FRD-L04 in USA in january, ive the same issue. The first month it was working just fine, then i didnt use the gps for days and the OTA comes. And now i realice that the gps isnt working the way u are saying. the phone has not a single drop, not a single scratch, so i think its a software problem.... i was thinking in a downgrade to marshmallow to see if the problem is in the ota

Mine is FRD-L09.
I cant really tell whether the problem appeared with upgrading to EMUI5 because I upgraded the same day I bought it (and never used GPS-only location service anyway).
If you try downgrading to MM and it solves the problem, please report back.
Just to let you know, after a factory reset the GPS was still dead.
I have sent it to the service center, I don't know what they did to the phone but the GPS is working again.

It worked for me too!
Do you plan to go back to EMUI 5? If you do, please report back the GPS status.
I´ll stay on MM for a few days, only to test the battery (since I upgraded to N the day I bought it).
Hi. Where can I find the Rom to downgrade to 6.0 MM?
