I had landed into deeper problems???????While flashing
Ever since I upgrade from rom140 to rom142 my BA just soft reset when I am using the internet through wifi. At other times while using other programs applications the soft reset by itself still recurred though not as often and definite as when I am using internet with wifi.
I tried to upgrade to WM5(with the hope that this problem may be solved) and the same thing happened. Thereafter I downgrade it to rom140 hoping that my problem is solved..It is not solved either...
I also reflash with rom140.rom142 and wm5....the self resetting still happened. I also tried hard resetting to no avail
Just wondering whether I should be taking it to the O2 service centre for assistance or whether from some past experience someone may have some insight into the cause of this self reseting..Is it a hardware or the software problems?????? Just wondering whether it may be battery supply or battery connection problems?????
For my immediate use in the meantime I have recently bought another BA and upgraded it to rom142 and this new BA is OK
Any info or assistance will be greatly appreciated...thanks in advance

A thought crossed my mind ie. to swap the battery between my 2 Blue Angels as a form of troubleshoot.....wish me luck.......
If the above failed hopefully someone who may encountered the same problem b4 may shed some light....
hi,
from your story it looks like its a hardware problem. why dont you go to o2 and repair it, or just ask for a replacement.
BA soft reset by itself

Sorry for my English.
Hi, got a very big problem with my Kaiser - Vario3. Bought it from UK by e-bay. There was (maby) original T-mobile ROM. When I`ve done all settings correct and tried to connect, the display backlight have flashed to maximum, but Kaiser was still working, but without data connections. I`ve tried many 6.0 and 6.1 ROMs with many radios and everyone freezes it. Display backlight turns on max and freeze. Hard reset solves nothing, after entering PIN, freezes. But without turning on phone part of Kaiser is all OK. Only one ROM, which is able to make Kaiser useable, is T-mobile ROM ...but no data connection, if I try to start data, display backlight turns on max and Kaiser is freezed.
Anybody able to help?
Hardware dead?
...pls.

What you need to do is read the kaiser WIKI as unfortunatley it isnt as easy as just flashing a ROM you need to install hard SPL, and unlock it first. All of the information to sort the problem can be found in the WIKI
I`m not greenhorn. I`ve got hard SPL etc. I`ve read lot of wikis, forum threads. But nothing helps me to solve my problem. So...?
If this is happening with every ROM you install then I would think that it may be a bad sector on the phone causing this in which case the seller has sold you faulty goods
I think so. I`m waiting for PayPal result, I sent my problem there. But I still hope, that is possible to solve this with software tools too. So if anybody has the same problem, and has solved it, I hear (read) you.
Or developers with any great idea? It seems like any T-mobile branding problem, because phone is useable only with T-mobile ROM, with any other ROM just as PDA without phone.

hi there,
I have my diamond for almost a week now. On the first day everything worked fine. The gps got a fix, took it a while but it worked. On the second day of playing with it i decided i wanted to try a cooked rom.
I installed hardSPL (oliNex 1.40) and then tried dyttys 1.8 rom. All worked fine except for the GPS. It wasn't even finding it (the nav soft nor the gps test tool).
So i upraded the radio to 08 (in duttys rom it's 07). Same thing.
Next thing was installing panosha's shine on 1.5 rom (including radio 08).
Then i actually managed to see the gps, but it couldn't get a fix. So i tried radio 05. The gps was found but no fix... after hard reset once i got a fix, which took really long time, like 5-10 minutes. After next reboot nothing... Even the gps was not seen by the apps.
Now I'm on panosha's shine on 1.6 (still radio 05). Now the apps can see the gps, but it won't fix.
What to do? Try another hardspl? try another rom? try another radio? maybe try some tweaks?
Or maybe the gps is broken? But it worked!
Help me out please guys.
regards,

It think it has nothing to do with the hardSPL but u could try olinex 1.93
For roms, try swiftBLs or maybe christonges ct.

Well well well, there seems to be some problem...
I have exactly the same: no GPS fix but still seeing the sats, then no sats anymore.
I installed Dutty's 1.8 too yesterday and after that CT's.
Now back to a stock ROM including Stock SPL, but no GPS anymore...
I'm afraid I have to send my device for repair.
What do we have in common? We both flashed Dutty's 1.8, we both changed radio's (I went from .08 to .05).
Are there more victims out there???
look here... i will try this now
Don't know how about you... but it worked for me. ..at least for now. I got a fix.
Try it - soft reset your gps!

After every ROM flash, you need to cold boot your GPS.
This is why the first time you have to wait 5-10 minutes to get a fix.
You can always use HTC GPS Tool or any similar app to cold boot.
ok, it helped only for a while. I then installed skype, google maps, maybe something else, synced with outlook and now gps cannot be found. Even by htc_gps_tool. It now says "failed to send NMEA command".
GPS Test scans ports and stops at com4 (this is the gps port)... and nothing happens. Hard reset of the device does not help.
Any ideas? Just 1h ago gps seemed to work

Do you have AGPS enabled? If so, disable it.
I WOULD recommend to start everything from the beginning:
1: flash a radio (.08)
2: flash a vanilla ROM (DON'T install anything else apart from HTC GPS tool)
3: Try getting a fix with this setup. We'll then know if it's a hardware problem or just your fiddling.
So don't touch the hardspl? If it works it works and i shouldn't change it?
What do you mean by "a vanilla rom". Any rom with vanilla=tflo3d? If so, what if this rom has radio in it (dytty's 1.8 has radio 07).
ps: how to change agps setting? I used pocket toolman now... had to install it... and guess what: agps was off. I turned in on rebooted and turned it off again. Didn't help.
Thanx for the interest in my problem Awaiting further instructions.

I have tested a bit this night. Flashed duttys 1.8, tried and it works, installed loads of apps and tried again and there it is, no gps fix.
I did a hard reset and flashed the .05 radio and then swiftBLs 6.0 lite rom. Nothing, no gps fix. Did another hard reset and flashed an official rom, and it works normal. Another hard reset and back to swiftBLs rom and got no problems.
atm i´m so lol

Just did the same you did (flash to an official ROM, including stock SPL, so everything back to the original state. Still no more GPS fix. GPSTest gives a few low signals but not enought for fix. Tried it outside for half an hour.
My device goed back for repair.
I'm sure soft reset of gps would help.
I just did new radio flash + new rom flash + soft reset of gps and it worked.
The I was installing my packages + configuring my device doing reboot after each small change to see if gps still works. It stopped working after installing win6voip.cab
Will try again to verify that
I had the same prob. And even when i had a fix it loses the fix and then it fixed agian so on and so on. Had it with igo8 and tom tom 7 and a smal program to see gps reception.
I switched back to radio .05 and used rom sc (skippycentraal) v2.8 (dutch language, is perfect for me cause i'm from holland )
I't works perfect, in about 20 to 30 sec outside getting a fix.
sometimes i'll even get a fix indoors
I think its a problem with the roms with the new radios, but the reason for the gps problems itself is affected by some applications.
Ummm a bit worrying..... I must admit after frying my Hermes with a new radio and then my Polaris after flashing a compatable radio from another device I´m a little vary now. I´ve stuck with .05 for a while now and I´ve been flashing between 5-10 times a day for the last few weeks and TomTom has been fixing everytime no issues whatsoever.

how do you softreset GPS???
Use htc gps tool. Use function->chip->Q7200, set baud rate and port and click "open port". Next use function->set mode->cold start and get outside for 10 minutes with the device configured not to shut down/go to sleep (power settings). It should get a fix.
Back to my case: I flashed again and did the gps cold start. Then installed all the stuff I wanted + configured everything checking if gps is still getting a fix after each install/reboot. It still does. Ofcourse this time I did not install win6voip.cab. So I guess this package was the one "spoiling" my gps.
Will try to tweak my voip in win manually tomorrow. Hope it works because I have a SIP account I would like to use on my diamond.

Also did that, no fix... GPS definitely is broken, back to repair.
GPS no signal
God damn it...
everyone keeps flashing ROMs etc and I thought it was safe, I have exactly the same problem as pietrucci
and now I read that flashing everything back to stock doesn't fix the GPS ...
that REALLY PISSES ME OFF
there seems to be no information on how to properly "restart" the GPS so to make it work.
also from a technical point of view, how can you possibly "break" the GPS by installing hardSPL and another ROM, without even touching the Radio?
this problem better get a fix somehow and lets hope we (me, pietrucci and evilskanker) are able to fix it, or I will stop flashing untested **** altogether. it's fun as long as it works, but if someone reports a problem that is suddenly an exception, then things start to get quite a bit less safe as you see!
just my 2 cents.
Hi.
I don't know how Qualcomm GPS works, but users of Eten X650 are having same problem. (My previos phone was X650, SirfStarIII) After some reflashing GPS is broken. We make it working by dispacing battery from phone for 36 hr. So all GPS settings were reset. Someone ever short-circuit contacts of battery on the phone for this time. Try this if everything didn't help before going to service.

Ok, I'm wiling to try everything. I'll leave the battery out for some days.
What do you mean by short-circuit the battery contacts, just hold a piece of iron on the phone contacts? Or do something with the battery itself? Doesn't that damage the device or battery?
By the way: I'm can't tell for sure my broken GPS was caused by flashing. But it was right after my last flash (Dutty v1.8) that is was dead. Everything I did after that (flashing to other ROMS, to stock ROMS, hardresets, GPS resets) was to try to get life in my GPS. But as you know now, without any effect.
All in all I believe it has to do with flashing but not 100% sure...
I have just update my HD with the WM 6.5 rom, everything was fine apart of the bluetooth, it never turns on and when i go to setting try to sort it out, it comes up with said bluetooth hardware wasn't installed or something, i have restart it million times and problem still remains, anyone could help me or its the problem of WM6.5?
Did you even try to question that on the cookers thread???????
Hi everyone since one week to now ive had many problems with the gps of my mobile. The case is that when i try to use any program that need the gps(tomtom, igo, the camera with geoposition, etc...) my mobile stop working and i can only make a softreset to turn on again the phone. Then.... i need help please, ive tried to change the rom many times but the problem is always there. So plese if any one of you have any idea of how can i solve this big problem please tell me cause i really dont know what to do.
Same problem: freezing XPERIA when using GPS!
Same problem like you, it seems to be a problem with the new update of QuickGPS. See the other thread for more information:
