GPS and radios?

Is it possible for the radio version to affect GPS/navigation performance?
The problem I'm having when delivering pizzas is my Nexus rarely finds a GPS signal and when it does I lose data connection... Ive tried toggling airplane mode and anything else I can think to reset connections with no avail
I'm using Kings latest D2N Rom and before I was using Desire ReMix, same issue with both.

Flash a different radio and see if it helps.

Just flashed EPE76, problem is still present... However in the Build # it still says ERE27. Not sure where to go from here... Should I use the stock radio (ERD79), or try flashing again? I'm afraid or losing a phone and gaining a paperweight worth half a grand

Just wondering if you ever get this problem solves. I am experiencing similar problem. I recently rooted my nexus one with modaco rom and my navigation system voice guidance is not working. In the notification bar, it shows gray color. The voice will not talk but the map shows. It says "Searching for GPS" at the bottom screen. It gives all route directions and maps though.
Please where can I go to activate the voice guidance or what exactly do I need to do to correct this?
Thanks

3G Data Stalls. Radio On/Off Cures

Currently running 2.2 FRF83, but I experienced this on 2.1 too...
Sometimes whilst browsing, the browser will stall when requesting a new web page. Eventually the page will timeout with a page unavailable or data connection error.
At the same time no other data functions work - email, Twitter etc. Also tried Dolphin browser but no luck, so I don't think its browser related.
The 3G icon shows both up/down arrows flashing as if it's requesting and receiving data.
While this is happening, a quick check of the phone info page does indeed show packet and byte counts increasing for both PPP Sent and PPP Received.
It's as if the data is coming down, but the phone doesn't recognise this.
To fix the issue I turn the radio off and back on. This immediately solves the issue, until it happens again, which could be in a few minutes again.
Have tried different radio settings like WCDMA Preferred, WCDMA Only, Auto prl etc. Still the same.
Has anyone else ever experienced this? Any possible solutions?

I have the same exact thing happening to me. I'm on AT&t in the US. Very frustrating, I was hoping that 2.2 would fix this. I've sent an email to Google regarding this and have yet to hear anything back.

So I'm not the only one then. It'll be interesting to see how many more Nexus One owners experience this issue.
Hope there's a solution somewhere out there.

Same ned a fix bad
Sent from my Nexus One

I get the same problem using the FroYo radio (4.06).
No problems with the older 4.04 radio though. Unfortunately I can't use that with 2.2 of course.

I was in America using At&t and had no problems with 2.1. I moved to Turkey and got on Turkcell and had problems then either.
I installed 2.2 (since the first ones came out FRF50) and am now on the latest and ever since I have had similar problems. I have to reboot the phone when this happens and then it works for many hours until it happens again.
When I go into market it pops up a dialogue box and makes me hit retry twice and then works.
It would be nice if this was straightened out.

I just got off the horn with Google support. The SE had me do *#*#INFO#*#* then bring up the menu and choose "select radio band" I then set the phone for "USA Band" the phone confirmed success. This seems to have worked for me. Hope it helps you.

Yep, I already have mine set to Euro Band. The "3G Freeze" still occurs for me.
Interested to hear how you get on with that Band setting nonetheless.

I'm on AT&T and had fantastic signals prior to the FRF83B update. Since I updated the radio, I'm having the exact same issues. It's becoming a pain when I'm trying to stream internet radio, because it cuts out every 20 or 30 seconds. I also noticed the other day, where I use to get strength, I had *no* reception.

Nexus One radio

So I have a Nexus One (AT&T/Rogers) and recently rooted it and installed Cyanogenmod 6. Since doing this I have been unable to use wifi on my phone, it connects and has a good signal but web pages simply wont load. Will updating the radio fix this?

Radio has nothing to do with WiFi. Kernel does.

I have not been able to find anything that would help me fix this. Could you please help me? My problem is really odd, the wifi says that it is connected and i can do basic stuff like Facebook and engadget but I cant browse the web, download apps or watch youtube. All of this stuff does work over the cellular signal.

Hard to say anything. Are you sure the problem is on the phone side? Did you check other WiFi networks, have the same symptoms everywhere? Did you check other ROMs? Did you ask in CM6 thread?

I have tried several wifi connections but not other roms. If anyone does have another suggestion please post.

[Q] 3G and network signal problem

Hi,
I recently updated to Froyo using the registry hack, i was on uk orange jf3 before.
Since being on it i have constantly been struggling with the 3g and the network signal, at first i thought the 3g was disconnecting when i turned the wifi on but then the network signal starting disappearing and it would show the circle symbol with the diagonal strike through it to show that it was not picking up any networks.
I read somewhere that cycling flight mode might solve the issue, but for some reason once i turn on/off flight mode it just hangs at that stage and will not change until after a restart.
I have also tried formatting both the internal and ext sd cards and i have done a factory reset twice.
Nothing has helped, it connects to 3g initially (which shows that it shouldn't be a setting problem?) and the network signal is also fine initially but then after a short amount of time or inactivity or switching on wifi the 3g won't connect and the network signal just dies.
If anyone has any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it i would really appreciate it.
Having a phone that can't make or receive calls when i need it to is really f'ing me off.
P.s. I have read and searched other topics for help on this but nothing so far has helped.

Might be something like I have? But I got no reply here...

Yer i read your post, what i don't understand is that it was totally fine in 2.1 and now in 2.2 it's messed up, not sure if that is the same for you?
I think it is something to do with it being for Norwegian users not UK and that somehow affects it.
I have checked the apn and it all seems correct, do you also have the issue with flight mode not working properly?

Just found this on an internet search...
: Samsung Galaxy S v2.2/Froyo update
Posted: 5 days ago in response to: stefan
Some news on the update to Android 2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S. Currently we are making some changes to get it working better when using Orange signal, and are therefore looking to release the update by the end of November – obviously this is a delay on our original release date but we hope it will be worth the wait!
Kind Regards

Not sure exactly what that means but it sure sounds like this might be the problem i am having.
I would be interested to know if other UK orange users have been having problems?
I would also like to know if it is possible for me to go back to to a previous version so i can actually use my phone.

I am orange uk, and have similar problem at home, but works well at office. Maybe it is due to the barrier of signal. if the signal level is lower than this barrier, only emergency call can be.
I do not know how to do but my friend advised me to update the moderm

[Q] GPS Issues

Hi All,
I've just today got a new HTC One from 3.
Now the issue I've got is nothing wrong with network coverage, its actually the GPS performance, or lack of it.
I'm using GPS test, it can see about 14 satellites but will not lock on and use any of them?
Has anyone had this experience before?
Thanks.

I will also add something to this. The program GPS Status is constantly trying to "Looking for GPS Location" and it never gets a fix. I have 21 sats that it can see, but always fix is on 0.
If anyone could help that would be great.
Thanks.

Never mind... I was being a douch. Was inside on the 3rd floor with 10 other floors above me. When I got outside it was able to get a fix. Still strange though that it can see the satellites inside but can not get a fix on them? Or am I just not getting the point?
