I have uninstalled a few apps and themes from my TP. After a reboot, I noticed my TP hanging on the startup bar, I did a hard reset and it booted fine. The issue that I am having is , my gps is non functional. Even with the HTC GPS Tool, I can see 16 sats but no fixes. Normally I would run the tool, it will startup red and then go green. When this happens I then can run tt7.
I have tried everything with no success. I have internet connectiviity etc.
Can someone please asisst.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried installing Google Maps. My Fuze did the same thing, I never got the HTC GPS tool to get a fix, but Google Maps was able to pretty quickly. Not sure why, but I would just launch it before TT7 and it would be fine then.
Thanks, I will give it a try.

I have a tilt with the HTC factory rom flashed on it. Everything has worked fine for the past few months, until I tried to use my tomtom software a few days ago. For some reason, it couldn't get a gps fix. Then, when I exited, everything froze up.
Now whenever ANYTHING accesses the gps functionality, it can't find a fix, and when I exit, nothing else will launch, and I'll have to do a soft reset. Everything else works fine unless I try and use the gps. What the hell!
Any insight?
You might need to hard reset or flash a new rom. This sounds similar to another problem recently sorted - try starting at this link.
I just did that 2 days ago! The only thing i installed was kaisertweak and tomtom! Nothing worked. So I tried installing other gps crap to see if that would work. So far, nothing.
I'm pretty sure this isn't a rom issue, because it didn't work AT ALL following a hard reset. :-/
Try another hard reset, but don't install anything other than TomTom (even KaiserTweak). If that doesn't work, then you need to contact AT&T for a replacement under warranty. Although that could be a problem if you are on T-Mobile like your profile says...
ok, so I reflashed AGAIN. And it didn't do much. However, it's not crashing anymore. Even though it's not crashing anymore, i'm still not able to get a gps fix. :-/ What now?

Try flashing a new radio. Radios seem to have a direct relation to how fast (or slow) the Kaiser's GPS chip will get a fix.
Um how about trying another gps program.

GPStest, tomtom, google maps, and live maps can't get a fix.
And I'm already on my 3rd radio. The first one worked fine, then it just stopped working. No new software, no rom changes, nothing. It just didn't work one day. Is there a way I can run some sort of diagnostic to check the functionality of the gps hardware itself?

Does Tomtom report:
"No GPS Device" or "No valid GPS signal"?

With GPS test what port does it say it's using?
(ie without you changing it what does it initially say for the port?)

Hello, recently i got a real big problem with gps, everytime a software tries to use it, it hangs the device, for example in igo8, it hangs at the voice that says no gps was found or something like that, it just hangs in the middle of the voice message, and then it becomes usable for another 10 seconds after 40sec, then back to freezing point...and it goes on like this even if i succeed in closing igo8, it still continues to freeze/unfreeze on the same pattern, until i soft reset. Even after updating igo to a newer 8.3.2 build it still does it. Also tried Googlemaps and it does the SAME THING when trying to find sattelites after selecting use gps. I must mention that it worked fine everytime, and it started doing that recently. A-gps is disabled. Please helpp! I'm a real noob driver and I always need navigation assistance!(
tried htc gps tool today, and it hangs the same way when opening com4 port on baud 57600..
LE: Got it working after trying everything except updating quickgps, after that it started working again, probably the previous update corrupted some of the settings in the gps. I never would have thought that would be the reason of this problem.
So I've had my diamond for a about year now. Tried dozens of roms and settled for the mystery rom. (for those who don't know, mystery rom utilizes wm 6.5 with Touch Pro 2 Manila interface). I also have quickGPS updated every week or so.
Google maps and tomtom have been working flawlessly with the GPS up to about a couple days ago. Now I've been having problems with both programs (and probably any programs that uses the GPS) finding my location and freezing my phone.
So with google maps, what would happen is that I would tap "use GPS" and it would track my location in a few seconds. Then what happens is the blue dot with the direction arrow would turn into just a blue dot without the arrow. This is probably when the GPS suddenly fails and my location isn't being tracked anymore (sometimes this would freeze google maps and sometimes my whole phone and I would need to do a soft reset).
When it doesn't freeze, the GPS would not work until I do a soft reset and the same thing happens when I try again.
Same with Tomtom. It would say "Waiting for a valid GPS signal" (meaning that it recognizes the GPS device) and then after a couple seconds it would stay on "No GPS Found" and it would just stay like that.
Now, is this a hardware problem? even though it's happening pretty consistantly and I would think that it wouldn't work at all if it was something with the GPS hardware.
If it's a software problem, the only significant thing I've done since last week is install memmaid and delete some old files/caches. Could this affect my GPS at all if I accidently some specific old/temporary files?
If anyone has any insight into my problem, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Getting lost is not fun
Thanks!!

Every time I use GPS wether it be Garmin XT or Google Maps it will restart my phone. With Garmin it will acquire GPS position the say lost satelite reception and the restart the phone. Anyone know the answer to this? I really need GPS Nav on my phone. Flashed back to stock ROM and same thing happens. Running custum STX rom right now. It was working fine a couple of days ago
Check this thread out. I was having the exactly same problem. Now it is ok.

Disable the QuickGPS, Replace the bin files, Soft reset.
Everything back to normal!
gps resetting touch diamond
So far, this fix appears to have worked for my phone. Thanks!
I installed iGO8 and now all my GPS, Garmin, Google maps dont work..
It just gets stuck at waiting for GPS signal...
What's wrong? It was a clear blue sky out door when I checked this too..
Mmm sounds familiar. I upgraded my X1 firmware to the stock R3A rom (last weekend) and had this trouble with iGO8.3 (or TechrificWay which is the local Australian version) after re-installing all my apps. Had the same problems with Google Maps. Thought the GPS was crook. I was just about to do a hard reset and re-install but decided to try my old Copilot Live 7 software and everything worked fine. So un-installed iGO8.3 and re-installed and everything worked fine. If I think about it I might have un-installed iGO8 before I installed CPL7, not sure. Anyway everything has worked fine since.
Perhaps worth a try?
Same problem here on my fuze.
I had to wait many mins nearly 30mins to get the signal and if lil miss, again 30mins.
I'm using garmin and not sure about others. I tried many radio versions but still same.
BTW; sorry for posting in wrong device section but I found a nice thread here which could help.
Best Regards
I actually have 2 GPS on my sd card atm, could this be the problem?
I don't think so, unless both aren't running in background.
Checkout in FdcSoft Taskmgr if there are.....
Best Regards
Im gonna try uninstall everything, delete darmin off of sd card, and renstall igo. will post back
ok, so i uninstalled everything and was only left with google maps. no igo or garmin. so i tried too use google maps with gps, and even google maps coudnt even work. it said it cant find the gps receiver.. how can i turn it back on? could it be my reg setting, i make gprs disconnect after 2 mins?
Ive tried using manual com using baud rate 4800 and all kinds of combinations.
It would say "intializing GPS..." then it would come up with no GPS receiver found.. whats wrong??

I had a problem a few weeks ago when I couldn't get GPS to work (in Google Maps and CoPilot Live 8).
It turns out that my QuickGPS data has expired (somehow it got set to manual download). Updating the data and setting QuickGPS to update automatically made everything work normally.
In Advanced Config Tool, there is an option to turn on aGPS. I have mine set to "ON" even though I don't know if this has any effect on the X1.
Yep, Ive already turned on everything A-GPS, GPRS all settings on, tried google maps, everything again.. Nothing seems to work and it keeps coming up with No GPS receiver found although I checked if my GPS builtin is actually defective by running GPSGate2 and testing my builtin GPS. GPS said it reads ok.. so what is the problem.. its really annoying.. it ruined my anniversary 6month with my gf
^^^ You still didn't mention running QuickGPS...?
Yeah, done that too. Countless times...
