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 ?

Hi,
I have a major problem. I can't get internet via gprs to work after the new 2.03 upgrade. I've tried two hard resets but nothing helps. The upgrade went fine and everything else works good, wifi & even MMS! which I think is strange since it uses gprs aswell... It sends and recieves MMS fine both with 3G, HSDPA & on Edge...
The connection wizard finds my correct settings and installs them, I've tried adding the correct settings manualy aswell. I've done it a million times before so I know it's correct. I have 3G coverage aswell since I can see the 3G on top. I don't use any static ip wifi connection either so the bug can be ruled out.
IE, Opera, Mail, Weather etc etc... nada, I can't get anything to connect. I see the arrows on top when it starts to connect and after a few seconds I get the connection error.
Please help, my phone feels worthless now...
try to get back to 1.93 and then re-flash the 2.03
Ok but is it possible installing this 2.03 again can help??? I mean so I don't have to go back to 1.93 first because I have no idea how to do it? I've not very experienced when it comes to changing roms since I always just flash the official ones...
Installed the older 1.93 again, still doesn't work
There seem to be no problem with the hardware since MMS works and uses GPRS, 3G, HSDPA & etc...
I think I give up, have to live without internet in my phone it seems
It's most likely a configuration problem rather than a hardware one.
Are you SURE the Internet access is configured EXACTLY to your provider's specifications?
Hi to all, please Owziee , did you fix your issue???
Hi, I´m from Spain and I have the same problem with my HTC Diamond. It was working very good with a cooking rom but after upgrade with the new original version from HTC don´t work GPRS connection.
I tested first with hard reset and second ,changing differents radios and spl in the way to found an answer for my problem but I didn´t found it.
I was checking the connection data from Orange for it was wrong but I saw all correct.
I created the connection manually first and automatically after it with the HTC Connection setup , but did´t work either.
Please Is there any way to fix it???.
Thanks in advanced

HTC has released a hotfix for resolving difficulties finding or locating a position when using GPS for HTC Touch Diamond...
You can reach the hotfix from following link:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=0&dl_id=569
I hope this hotfix solves the diamond gps lag.
Did someone tried?

Tried to installed but hotfix says it is not compatible with my device. May have to wait for the diamond ver or if someone here can change the package to work with any device ID
I ran this on my sprint diamond and sprintnav still works, except I found another problem unrelated, sort of.
Hi,
just copied the file to my device (XDA Diamond - Stock Rom) and it works without problems. I think it wont work with custom roms.
I just noticed that the i get a fix very fast. Other than that, i didnt tested if the lag is gone, but why it should be. The fix is only for getting a faster GPS Fix. It isnt a fix for a lag problem.

If anyone with a stock rom can install test and report back, i think we would all be interested. BTW it says on the HTC site that it fixes the 'lag' (if it does woohoo)
I installed the fix on BsB 6.5G Black ROM (no need for original ROM). I can't really say that it helped reducing my satellite fix time. Before installing I had sat fix in about 1 min (cold start) and now it took like 1.5 min. But it seems like more stable (doesn't loose fix like it did sometimes before). On the other hand, warm start is lightning fast, taking about 5 seconds to get a fix.
Didn't test it yet for GPS lag. I will report back in the afternoon!

Running Shaks 4.30 with radio 1.09.25.23
weird or weird ?
Bad news. The lag of the gps stills on. But the sat fix time is better.
By the way, I have an official 2.03.410.2 ptg rom.
It´s funny that in my old official 1.37... rom the gps worked fine without delays. But now it has 30 mt of delay.
I´ve tried all the com ports in the hardware and the better is 9.
Yes would be fine if we had a cab ..... im still unable to install the fix

Hi Pinttas,
I have a lag on my GPS. I haven't tested different ports. Does it make much difference? Do you know why it might?

WinRar is able to extract content from the Exe, it has a cab layout in fact. From what I can see, it installs "CleanGpsData.exe" with a link to it in \windows\startup (the link didn't seem to be installed on mine by the way).
The cab has a setup.dll, I can't be sure it doesn't adjust any registry settings or else, but it doesn't seem to.
Hi mitsi,
the ports are the whay the software comunicate with the hardware.
I have a big difference between ports, +-30mts.
In the com ports nr 3 and 7 I cant get sat. the 2 is the worst and 9 the better.
I don´t now if is the same for all. I think it depends on the rom you have.

Hi Pinttas,
Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out on mine.... I hope I can find a better port!
I still have the same lag, i still can't use my paired BT Nokia headset and the GPS at the same time (witch i could in the nokia n73). it's a little bit faster the fix, but not as much.
I tried this and have found the fix to be faster, as others have reported. Funnily enough, my Tomtom has no lag but my Igo8 does..... Weird.....
pinntas - you are right about the ports. On some I don't get any connection at all. The others don't seem to be much different though. I think Ports 4 and 9 seem to be the most stable on mine.

Same goes here...is there any other way to install the fix..
No good for fixing GPS lag...In fact, the lag bacame even bigger. I uninstalled the patch...
What do you set the baud rate to? It should be 9600
somebody please put it in a .cab
thank you very very much!
I installed some .cab files for Voip... but now my gps is broken TomTom is unable to find my internal GPS... and when i do a hard reset it works again. but when i install that VOIP again the GPS is again gone? maybe i used an wrong version that is only for HTC or something? is there a .cab for the Xperia so i can use VOIP and the internal speaker... and with working GPS ?
I hope someone can help me.
Please use search option, it already has been mentioned before.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522854
you may wanna try 'agephone mobile', a standanlone voip client, also known as a softphone.
Thnx for the reply, i did use search and google etc... BUT i have no one seen with the same problem as me? when i install voip cab my GPS dies? i will reset it now and try urs. I have an orginal Vodafone NL rom should work right?
So i did all the things, now VOIP works great... i can hear with my internal speaker. But my GPS is dead again any idea why? is it because of the original ROM ?
Hi there,
Have you tried to enable the G3 connection settings?? It says you have to delete two registry entries. I did that and also lost the use of my internal GPS. I will try to recreate it tomorrow (was smart enough to write down what was inside the registry entries) and see if that helps....

Well, i tried allot... im now currently using SJphone... but it takes allot of cpu/mem? my phone is really slow when its turned on. would be nice if u got an solution...
i don't own an xperia anymore, but once again, i never had any problems using voip and gps. There might be a conflict if you happen to use some sort of tweak program like advanced config or xperia tweak. i am not sure about it, since i don't use any tweaking programs as the roms i use/choose are already optimized for daily use.
I am still using agephone mobile and i'm still happy i found the program. i must have save already about hundred euro's of phone costs.
Would a hard reset be the way to go in getting GPS to work again? Or do you think there is some other option to enable it again. Can't be physically broken afterall.
Or some kind of fix??
Greetings,
Andeas
Hi there,
Well, I restored the original registry keys but that didn't budge )-: My GPS is still as dead as a doornail. I honestly believe that a hard reset is the only way to go from there. Might be a good idea anyway because the TouchFlow 3d that I installed didn't work properly anyway. Unfortunately.
I've got a dutch rom too btw: KPN Mobile.
Still, if anybody knows a way to re-enable the internal GPS without the hard reset I'd be very happy.
Greetings,
Andreas
did you happen to activate agps? well, you should leave it disabled as i can not see the advantage of it since quickgps already provides you of a quick fix.
i don't know either what gps had to do with voip, causing the problems you have now.
I'd suggest to do a hard reset and do not install any optimizing tools, just the voip and you nav app and see how it works.
