Hello,
I installed Windows 6.1 on my HTC today (The official rom from HTC Club), and i realised GPS was not working ... neither on googlemap or tomtom, it is waiting signal, but not finding satellites.
Does anyone know where i could find windows 6.0 HTC rom, or is there a fix? (Searched on forum, found somepost with people having the same problem, but didn't find any solutions ...).
Rom is 1.65.16.25 (Official HTC Rom)
Tried this, but it doesn't seems to work (And value is back to -- after phone reset.
Tried GPSTest, and it got stuck at "GPS starting up".
thanks in advance.
I'm no expert, but sometimes it's the radio that causes the problem. Try 1.65.16.25, it works fine to me
Well, my rom is 1.65.16.25
It will work if you give it long enough!!!! The problem lies with the quickgps data that for some reason is not being used to get a quick fix. Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397728
How long did you allow you phone to receive the signal? Once I had to wait for 10 min plus to get a lock after a rom upgrade.
I am sure you we not moving while trying to get a lock?
Did you do a hard reset after the rom upgrade?
MODS can we close or merge this thread as it is a duplicate to what has recently been discussed here

It works but you have to wait..... took me around 20+ mins to get fixed which equals useless....
also the battery life is sh*t... the new radio is soooo poor
Hi,
I am using the original ROM 1.93 and I have installed Destinator 7 with Greek maps (2008). I don't know why, but the GPS loses its signal instantly and then everything is fine. This happens after a certain number of seconds and it is repeated.
Does anyone know hot to fix this?
Thank you.

I have had the same thing.
Turn OFF your AGPS with advance config.
If that doens't help, give it a hard reset.
cor
try with radio .07 (you wont loose anything), it catches gps signal quiker...

Here is my experience, where I noticed the GPS problems disappear completely.
From day 1, when I got my Diamong, first thing I did, without testing the GPS with shipped older official ROM, was to flash to SwiftBL ROM ... great ROM I have to say. But then I noticed that I had fix-no-fix-fix-no-fix (lags) problem, as well as the fixing itself taking up to 10-15 minutes. I tried newer SwiftBL ROMS, tried switching A-GPS, tried using .07 and .08 radios .... nothing, problem persisted.
I went back to .05 radio, and this time flashed with Dutty's Full v2 ROM ... very very fast and neat ROM. The ROM has A-GPS switched off from start. I did one hard-reset after flashing ROM, as Dutty recommends, and guess what ... no lags and fix within 10-20 seconds.
What was the problem .... I sinserely do not know, whether the combination of ROM+Radio+A-GPS! ..... main thing being now my GPS is fast at fixing, signal quality high and no lags.
Hope this helps.
cpootjes, because of the work load I managed to visit the site today!!
I activated A-GPS after a hard reset. I didn't even think that this could be a problem! However, I will test it and I will post the result..
Thanks anyway..
cpootjes, having activated A-GPS caused the problem (as you told me)..
Thanks again !!
Folks, since you have Destinator 7 installed and running, I hope you can help me... I cannot get mey Destinator Portal to see my internal storage, so I can install my maps there. Any suggestion ?
Hey people,
Ive been looking at this forum for a week solid for a fix but cant find one for my phone.
I have a tytn 2 and have been trying to get the gps to work on it, i know all about the wm 6.1 issue and this lead me to try all possable fixs like changin ROM and Radio to every combination i can think of.
Ive also tried using GPS test and still no luck, sometimes i get a sat blip up on gpstest but there is no strength in the bar and i either stays like that or disappears. Also in GPSTest it is forever saying GPS starting up and doesnt change from that, ive even had it on that for over 3 hours.
Im getting really frustrated lol as most of us are i see on here, but if anyone can help me it would be a huge help =]
Thanks Guys,
Hey everyone!
I just got back my Diamond from repair because of the display oil patch (got a new one). Well, I tried to acticate the GPS but I don´t get a signal. Tried everything I found in this forum to solve the problem: aGps enabled/disabled, Quick GPS, HTC GPS Tool, tried many roms and radios..., etc
When I start the HTC GPS tool, i don´t even get those red dots (satellites). What do you guys think, is it broken or anyone another idea?
Thanks alot
Same problem
hi,
I've sent my diamond to a authorized rapair center once because of a boot problem.
When i got it back everything seems to work fine again.. but the next day i tryed to use Tomtom and it didn't work..
After that i'v been searching on the net, trying to solve my problem.
I've downloaded many programs but couldn't find out what the problem was.
After a month of irritating that the gps didn't work, i send it back to the repair center and waited for 1,5 week. When i got it back, everyting worked fine. I think it was a hardware problem because they didn't instal a fresh rom or anything.
I'm not saying that you have to sent it back right away, but consider it could be the same "thing" i had.
It could save you a lot of time searching, downloading programms, or what ever..
The most usefull program i used to see if it worked or not was: VisualGPSce

Goodluck with it!
I have an inconsistent and strange problem with my gps fix. Especially with a cold start. Sometimes Tomtom Navigator gets a fix within +/- 2-5 minutes. Sometimes not after 20 minutes.
Strange thing: Google maps is always able to get a fix, even if TomTom is not able. Once Google Maps gets a fix, I can start TomTom and then he finds a fix too. So sometimes in order to get a gps fix with TomTom, I have to start Google Maps.
This is a problem, because Google Maps uses internet, which I don't want if I am in a foreign country(Belgium for instance).
I am running Energy.RAPHAEL.21901 With Coockie Home tab 1.7.1,
Navigator 7.915(9196)
Radio version: 1.10.OliNex(don't know if it matters)???
Just ask if you need more information. Hope someone can help me!
Do you have to disable agps?
I am too experiencing similar issues in Garmin, iGo, tomtom.......
they all seem to gat a fix relatively quicker and lose it. and stuck in a cycle of getting a fix and losing it.
BUT, applications like, gps speedo, gps dasgboard are working without any issues like that...
any ideas?
BTW, i tested many different ROMs available here with similar GPS issue.
I tested IGO yesterday and it gets a fix perfectly. On the other hand, yesterday tomtom suddenly started working:S.. I hate problems which are inconsistent XD!
I am going to test IGO a week. I expect it will always get a fix, since google maps also gets a fix whenever I try.
What I haven't done is upgrading my radio version. So that is my last alternative.
Keep you posted.
@ Argentocruz: I had already disabled AGPS
Mee too. Disabled Agps and tried. Result: same.
my radio ver: 1.08.25.20
should I try a dif. radio? if so to which one? anyone can suggest Pl. thanx.

Try a different radio yes. With the stock radio 1.something my fix was slow and I had quite some lag in TomTom. With 1.14.25.35 this issue was gone. It takes me about 1 minute to get a fix (and sometimes it doesn't fix, so I have to reboot the phone)
ok. will try this Raphael Radio 1.14.25.35.
Sorry for asking here... I downloaded this radio pack and it contains Raph_1.14.25.35_rilphone.CAB file also.
do I need to install this cab after flashing the radio?
10q.
BTW, anyone from Australia tested this?
Flashed the radio. problems seem to be gone..... tomtom, igo works perfectly so far.
will test more. thanx all for the support.
