Hi all,
Here's a strange one for you, my data connection on my phone was working fine since I've got it (since launch) but all of a sudden, over the last few days, it now can't stay alive for over a couple of hours. To be more precise, it does stay connected, but looses the ability to do anything, for example, active sync sits there "waiting for network" and opera sits there "looking for host" and I can't view anything. It works fine before then, then just suddenly stops. Anyone got any suggestions on what this could be? It's really annoying because it means that my emails suddenly don't get sent through, and I never know when it's stopped working unless I manually check.
Regards,
DragonStar
I got the exact same problem, the only thing I didn't do so far is a hard reset...
The weird thing is that it DOES WORK for lets say the weather plugin in the today screen, but IE, opera, nothing else works
I'm having this same issue with panosha's v2 rom. Weather works ok, but nothing else. I really need it for activesync, and that just comes back and tells me I have permission issues, yet when I soft reset, it works just fine.
Sounds like activesync is the culprit here. Are you using activesync when the data quits working? cause i've had lots of issues with activesync screwing up my data connection.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360268
that is my response to how i get activesync to work and keep my computer connection separate from my phone's connection. If the problem described isn't the exact same thing i'm guessing that it something similar. i would suspect that somehow the settings in your network selection drop downs have been changed.
hope this will help in some way.
Hi,For some odd reason my quick GPS does not work anymore. My TomTom is non functional as well. I have checked my data connection and it is active. Can somebody help please.
Thanks in advance.
Mine has stopped working as well. It says its expired, and when I click to download, it says "Connection Failed. Please try again later". My connection is good, and I cant figure out what is wrong. My GPS will not pick up any signal, and nothing that uses GPS works now.
Can somebody please assist?

Quick GPS not updating/downloading
I'm having the same problem, last time I downloaded the Quick GPS update was 1/20/09, now it will not update, and I cannot get a GPS fix in google Maps, however using the program GPS Test, it does register the GPS Satelites. Please help. (Yes, I have looked in probably 20 other threads, for my phone Raphael/Fuze and others, and was not able to find a solution)

Indeed there are alot of threads, without any solutions.
Although i have applied all solutions because i had this problem twice.
(Without anything that i had applied before it occured.)
I tried downloading the GPS data through QuickGPS last night, and I can confirm that it does not work. I got the same error: "Connection Failed. Please try again later." I had it synced through Activesync. Not sure what's going on. Hopefully, someone can throw some light on this.
Quick GPS works so me. I just downloaded 5 minutes ago.
still nothing for me, says Connecting... and then i get connection failed, everything else on the phone works fine, internet, weather updates etc.
Here's what I can offer you
Had the same problem once when I was testing roms. Soft reset and once phone comes up wait about 2 minutes for the phone to get its balls and recieve all of its texts and emails and what ever it has to do. Then open internet explorer. Leave it open and try quick gps. If this does not work hard reset. I noticed that if I just tried to access quick gps my network status bars would only show phone connection not data, but If I waited and ran internet browser first it would trick it into working. Once I flashed a different rom problem dissappeared.
I had the same problem, it took me a solid day to figure it out. QuickGPS would never connect no matter the circumstances and TT7 and other apps would say the GPS device was not found.
I figured out that I had installed a VoIP application that had somehow completely turned the GPS off. After going through many posts about it on the forums, looking for files that weren't there, etc. I had to hard-reset the device to get GPS back.
For what it's worth.
Found the solution for ATT Fuze user
First, check if you have a internet connection using IE (important to use IE, Opera connects doesn't mean IE can connect)
If you cannot connect (and you are a Fuze user), run "Disable Proxy", and soft reset.
Now you should have a connection using IE, and you can update QuickGPS or SeaSGee.
so heres my update,I was unable to do anything with "Disable proxy" because like everything else you do a search and get so many posts you can never find anything. But that led me to believe there may be a problem with my connections and their settings as I learned that I was unable to connect to the internet on IE but was able to in Opera. So I went into - All settings, Connections, advanced tab, select network button and there are two dropdowns there, one about connecting to the internet and one about connecting to private networks so on the first one i selected AT&T ISP (which was already selected) and for the second one I changed it fromo AT&T ISP to "My Work Network", and that let me connect to the net on IE and download the Quick GPS updates when I am on WI-FI only, but not when connected soely to AT&T GPRS.
The AT&T ISP setting does not have any Proxy settings selected, is it supposed to?
and the My Work network also does not have any Proxy Settings.
I'd like for this phone to work right, seamlessly, like umm the iphone which I'm thinking I should have got even though I am NOT a fan of Apple and their software(it always seems to work right for the most part though).
i have the same problem. my gps has completly stopped working. my quickgps updates fine though. when i use garmin, it won't find a signal. it just sits there
i changed my baud rate from 4800 to 9600 to get mine working recently, I may have inadvertently changed it to 4800 2 weeks ago when I was trying to fix the GPS problems after looking through like 50 threads on here.
also check to make sure in Settings > Phone > Local Setting > Get Settings that the location is set to LOCATION ON.
I have Navngo Igo8 on my fuze and it kept loosing the signal. I read on one of the gps forums (gpsunderground)that I needed to turn off the Agps on the device and that did it. My quick GPS also works well. I download updates every few days. Not sure exactly what that does but I read that it downloads latest GPS data.
I have tried many solutions posted to similar issues in this forum and none are working...
I reflashed the radio
I updated the radio
I also changed roms
I updated google maps...
I installed google voice
I turned the GPS on and off
wiped data and cache
also restarted the phone...
tried indoors and outdoors...
Google maps gets my location fine, but just when I click on navigate it loads and on the bottom of the screen it says "searching for GPS..." and never finds it, the GPS satellite icon shows activity...GPS Test says GPS on...I do not see any other activity at all on the screen though....
this is weird...any ideas? anyone else getting this "error"?
Do you have a data plan or other network connection while trying to get a GPS fix? If you don't, then it can take a REALLY LONG time to get a fix since it won't be able to download the almanac (assisted gps).
Also, some LOCATIONS tend to be very bad for getting a GPS signal. Near tall buildings, for example. Even if you have good exposure to a lot of the sky, the signals can actually REFLECT OFF TALL BUILDINGS and screw up your timings.

Yes I do have a data plan. No I am not near ANY tall buildings - I am in a residential area. I used to get GPS fine here when I had my Nexus One and my HD2 ... but this phone is giving me a hard time....I wish I could get it fixed -I was planning on taking a trip tomorrow and it would be nice to have it working, anyways it should work, I dont see a reason why it should not work...
any other ideas?....
anyone else having this problem? .... please advise me....
If google doesn't know the coordinates of the cell tower you are connected to, it may be sending you incorrect almanac data, which will actually make it HARDER to connect (since the GPS will be making incorrect assumptions about the visible satellites).
Try disabling your data services and reboot the phone.
I had the same problem for like 3 weeks, prior to it, my screen was cracked and i had it replaced at a shop. I finally took the phone apart, and the little cable was not connected. If the phone's been opened since last the GPS worked, check that. If not, No idea bro.

no this phone was never opened, but thanks!...
I have tried all of the suggestions I could find and still have no good results...
any other ideas?
I just checked my logCat and I noticed 4 errors all in a row with the tag "MobileNavigation"... the message says "Network Error! 3 : true". Any insight on that?
Thanks in advance...
so no one knows how to fix this
Did you try to turn off the A-GPS? It looks like your G1 try to connect to A-GPS but it can't connect.
did U find how to fix that cause I have kinda the same problem

My google nav app can t find gps but on the gps status i can fix on1-20 sats. the lock occures almost instantly, sometimes even whithout sats. When indoors (deep indoors) I get lock on 1-3 sats, near a window, at least 8-10 sats.
I d like to know if this is fixable, since I couldn t find another thread that treats this specific problem. I have LG E730 Optimus Sol Gingerbread.
I have the same issue with my HTC Amaze. Looks like there is a huge known problem with Google Maps. This is my second Amaze and both had the same problem. I have tried EVERYTHING. Looks like there is a known issue with Google Maps not using A-GPS correctly. I cannot turn off my A-GPS, so I'm pretty screwed, just waiting on ICS to come out.
I too have been having this issue for some time. This finally fixed the problem:

For my Glacier's Sense ROM, I installed DARKSIDE SENSE v4.0... of course I quickly reverted back to my preferred ROM immediately after completing the documented steps in the instructions. GPS works great... no more "Searching for GPS..." message.

I can't get to that link, can you PM it to me?
I finally found a semi-fix. In the A-GPS app, if you disable "filter GSP Speed" and disable filter strength, it has seemed to clear up the problem 90% of the time. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes to aquire, but sometimes it only take a few seconds and one it get's a lock, it seems to always keep locked on, which is 1000% better than what I was getting prior to this fix.
Whenever I use the navigation feature in Maps, it gets stuck on "Searching for GPS." I've left it like that overnight and nothing happened. The entire time, the GPS icon in the notification bar is blinking. I've downloaded the GPS Status app and it can't seem to be able to find my location either.
I've tried wiping everything, installing different roms, reinstalling the radio but nothing seems to be able to fix the problem. Navigation worked fine before. This problem just popped up out of nowhere. I've tried it when I'm outside, in different cities, but that hasn't helped. I unlocked my phone so I'm a bit concerned about having to send it into HTC.
Anyone else have the same problem or have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i'm having the same problem, N1 CM7.0.3 ROM
I've wiped the cache and data on the Maps APP, still having the same problem.
Any help
I sometimes get this issue
I fix it by turning off the GPS, waiting till the GPS icon disappears from the notification bar, then turn on the GPS again. and it gets a GPS lock right away.
one method which helps me to troubleshoot GPS in N1 is to install the free apps GPS status. under sub-menus tools, manage A-GPS state, there is the option to reset GPS data (essentially a reboot of GPS w/o powering off the phone). often when i completed that procedure, and downloaded new GPS assistance data (via wifi, should take no time), GPS lock-on could be achieved within a minute provided i'm outdoor or near window. if GPS lock-on can be achieved with GPS status, then, in theory, the same can be achieved in google map or in car mode. if google map still can lock on to the GPS signals, then i may get another google apps package and flash it into the phone again.
i do come across some custom roms in which GPS function has become crippled, but CM7.0.3 is NOT one of them.

Hi there, I have the exact same situation, I tried everything, master resets, downgrades of spls and custom roms, and different radios. All didnt work. I asked the same question and no one replied, may mean there is no known solution. I also scoured the web for a whole week, reading almost everything about this issue and trying whatever was suggested to no avail. Now I am selling my HD7 with "the wifi and bluetooth doesnt work".
thanks for the reply and sorry to hear your phone is in the same boat as mine.
Mine seems to be getting worse, slowly affecting other functions of the phone. ive lost count of the hard resets i've done now. somethimes settings wont open, apps dont always open. got to pull the battery to shut the phone off as the screen dulls down if i leave it but it doesnt time off. and the power button sometimes works and sometimes don't.
think unless someone turns up with a magic nswer soon, i'll need to order new phone too. shame coz i really like the hd7
I am having the same problem. Wifi worked fine since I bought the phone on 11/2010, but stopped working last night. When I went to power the phone off, I had to remove the battery because it was stuck on the "Goodbye" screen (the first time this has happened).
Same problem, what can we do?

Exactly the same problem. I've flashed and reflashed, tried all radios from 5.51, 5.52, 5.69 to 5.71.
After a reset the wifi works once or twice then doesn't work anymore :crying:
Must be the module within the phone. I see the middle housing has two connectors for WiFi and GPS, perhaps the WiFi connector doesn't work but it looks like this little thing is only an antenna, not a module.
The part I meen is a "sticker" that's on the same piece of plastic as the kickstand.
Should i replace the entire inner part or would the antenna be enough?
Help: WiFi/Bluetooth Problem
Hi, I suggest you change the title to 'WiFi/Bluetooth Problem' as I also have the same problem. It does not detect either of the two WiFi protocols (WPA2 & WEP) as I tried both with my router (laptops and androids get them both perfect).
Bluetooth on the other hand, does not pair with ANY device. Brings 'Tap to pair' prompt', then the Error 'Not Supported'. I'm running Dynamics v2.0 - Newer WP7.8 custom ROM, but this was the same even with factory ROM.
So are there any developments regarding the problems here? I still got it, no Wi-Fi, no BT...
I have a problem with my WiFi too. everything was ok since I had my HD7 two years ago, and I started to flash many custom roms a year ago with no problems at all. but one month ago my WiFi stopped working without any obvious reason, my phone was connected to wifi and I put it on the table then I picked it up.... no WiFi at all and no internet sharing also. I can turn on or off the green switch of the wifi but only just for fun! and the Wifi icon which usually pops down from the top of my phone will never appear.
I tried to flash new or old roms, many many hard resets with no luck. Also opened my phone to check if there is a hardwear problem but seems not.
Now I'm using cellular for the internet untill I can buy a new phone and break this one.
Ik must be built in or so. Every flash I do, two reboots later, Wi-Fi breaks.
They just want us to get new phones :/
EDIT
I've also installed two different, brand new, SD-card (1 class 2 and 1 class 10) but this gives the same problem.
On a side note, the class 10 is way, way faster
/EDIT
Same here
The WiFi just stopped working out of the blue and nothing i've done has restarted it. It must be something with WP7 because now the wifi icon no longer appears and the Internet sharing option is blank.
