I just installed a HTC GPS TOOL last night.
I selected COM4/4800/Hot Start, then clicked OPEN.
The log window started showing NMEA comand, keep scrolling up about 4 line per second. After about 30 seconds, satellite tab started showing some red satellites. log window still scrolling.
After about 1 minute, some satellites in the satellite tab changed to green. In the satellite tab, Mode 2 changed to 3D. Then the log window stopped scrolling. In the satellite tab, all the status stopped change, signal bars stopped moving.
It looks like that after GPS got a fix, it got locked up.
I think this is happening when I use google maps or TT7.
Anybody has the similar problem? Thanks

Ocassionally, the whole of the start bar across the top of the screen vanishes, it just goes blank and nothing is visible or clickable along the top (ie, all the little icons such as battery, signal indicator, start button, etc). Rebooting the phone restores it. Anyone else come across this before and is there a solution?
Mine occasionly does that, and the other odd thing it does is leave the small keyboard symbol at the bottom of the screen, not very often but once it's there it's a nightmare to shift, it eventually sorts itself out without soft reset, no idea why it does it, there seems to be no consistency to when it happens either.
Mine does this too but i found opening and closing the camera (which i have on a soft key) brings it back again.

I shall try that. This little start bar problem has been doing it more than usual in the last couple of days.
It happened again just now and I hadn't assigned my camera yet. HOWEVER, I have tomtom assigned to the today screen and opening and closing tomtom brought the start bar back.
I think any full screen program should do it, maybe it just needs to be refreshed which doesn't happen with a non full screen program

It happened again a moment ago. This time I clicked on 'No unread messages' on the today screen (I don't use touch flo at the moment btw just standard WM interface) which brought up my text messages and returned the start bar.
This is why we all love Windows Mobile lol
OK! GPS is working fine for me. Just that it takes forever to lock when there's no active data connection. Otherwise is a beauty. Now my problem is one hooked to sats the icon stop blinking which is normal but then it wouldn't disappear after I've switched off GPS. I mean to say that the icon stays there even after GPS has been switched off. Also when this happens it doesn't speak to satellites nor attempts to see them in lbstestmode. I have to restart my phone again for the icon to disappear and the phone to start talking to the satellites.
BUMP to the top!
I have the SGS with Froyo and up to about 2 weeks ago it was all working fine.
The other day I turned on the Navigation and it won't find the GPS. The words "Searching for GPS" just stays on the bottom of the screen.
This is the first time I have used it in a while, normally I would turn it on regularly.
I have tried turning the phone off and on but its still the same.
Anyone got a fix for this
I'm having trouble with the GPS on my ZR. Basicly it seems that it won't startup when I startup an App like Google Maps, Waze or Foursquare. GPS function is on, but it won't activate, no GPS icon shows in the top left corner. Nor does it find satellites when I check that through an app like GPS Status. When I turn off GPS by using the widget, and turn it back on, most of the time the GPS icon will appear in the upper left corner and I will get a lock on. Sadly this won't last, the icon dissappears and so does the GPS lock.
I tried this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197842
But it does not work. From the start, the app shows that my phone wont even find the satellites, in stead of just not getting a fix with them.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to try? I am om the official update 4.2.2 and unrooted.

GPS works very well for me in both 4.1.2 and 4.2.2. It seems your GPS doesn't work at all. Maybe take it back for a replacement?
Just to be sure... try tapping on the lower right icon that zooms to your default location with GPS off. It should show a pretty wide blue circle. When you toggle GPS using the widget and you see the GPS icon appearing shortly on the notification bar, can you check if the blue circle shrinks due to the more accurate GPS measurements? Of course try this in an open area...
The GPS icon doesn't stay on for me always when I turn it on, I always presume it will only really be activated periodically when it needs to...
Have you turn on some power saving function? try to turn them off.
Problem went away, but unfortunately I dont know how. I did fiddle around with the app GPS STATUS and deinstalled Google Maps to stock. Cleared all caches too. Glad it was software and not hardware.

Hi guys , so I'm using "device only" for location. I notice that frequently, the location icon pops up in the notification bar "searching for location". It lasts about 2-3 sec but I found it quite annoying. When I changed to " power saving ", of course it didn't show up any more but I'd like to keep using device only since it doesn't seem to affect the battery. Note that I use some apps that requires location like google fit. Does anyone experience this? This is a brand new replacement. I don't recall seeing this icon too much with the last Note 4 (I also used device only back then"
Only time you won't see it is if GPS is off. Other than that go with what you like. Icon will still appear
BAD ASS NOTE 4
