I have been searching the forums for 2 weeks and have found many people with this very same issue but no concrete solutions. I have flashed multiple ROMs, builds, radios, and spl. I had mostly been using Energy series ROMs when around 2 weeks ago after an update flash my location service was disabled. I have tested and tweaked everything I can at this point and no setting will allow my location service to work. It is very annoying as I use google maps a lot and without it, one cannot even use GPS. IF there is anyone that can solve this issue for the many of use with this problem, It would be greatly appreciated. In fact, I would be more than willing to buy them a couple of beers. I posted this here because it seems the issue is present within all of the ROMs. I have had 8 HTC WinMo devices all the way back to TMob MDA and this is easily the most frustrated I have been.
Thank you all so much for your help.
if u have seen ppl with same issue, u could have asked in those threads rather than opening a brand new one. and i doubt u searched properly, "my location" problem is not because of ROMs but google's location service which doesnt work for some places.

I've really enjoyed all the different ROMS I've flashed last week, but they're all had one thing in common, every one of them I could either not get my email or not get an internet connection,or even both, in some cases. Yes, I did search the forums, when I had those issues, and never could get everything just right.
Here's what I'd like to know.... I've flashed back to the original ROM, and no network issues....is there a way to copy just the network settings and all that they effect, into some sort of executionable file or cab, so I can use any ROM and just click to set my network settings? Or if anyone has a better way to do this? I do want to be able to use a different ROM.....
Help??

If you searched for the network config. cabs you will find them
Yes indeed there are network settings CABs around. Also this is not a development issue. Moving to software forum.

Just wondering if you are using mymail on your TYTN. I just upgraded my ROM to WM6 and now Mymail will download the mail headers, but the message is empty. I called support and they said that Mymail has been discontinued. Mymail was working a week ago, now they say it has been discontinued.
Any thoughts?

Is this something to do with custom builds or do I have other issues? Ever since I started using non-stock firmware network location nearly always fails. It worked briefly once but since I don't live in Germany I'm going to guess something is up. I've found no similar threads or questions on it so it probably isn't a common issue. I could go to stock firmware to find out but that seems a little bit too much hassle for such a simple thing.
I hate to bump this but so many topics on a daily basis and I don't think I'll be the only one to get this. On stock firmware the network location isn't too far wrong but with any custom firmware, Hero, Cyanogen etc, it's a good 3km off whereas it used to be around 1km at the most. It isn't a HUGE issue but for price comparisons searching local or other location based things like Google places it helps a lot to be at least somewhat near. Frankfurt is not even the same country but it seems to come up quite a lot as the location via network. Does anyone have an idea why it's so bad?
Hey Guys,
I am currently running XXJVP with CF-Root 3.7.
Since around 2 weeks I have the Problem that my GPS doesn't lock on any Satellite, it actually finds, if at all one or two Satellites in GPS Test but can't connect to any of them.
I searched now the whole week for any Fix, tried several solutions (set the NTP Server to at.pool.ntp.org), checked the settings in Lbs Test Mode, tried various in there, updated to the last Firmware (was on FroYo before) but it all didn't help.
I am not sure if it is an hardware issue as it does find satellites but is actually just not able to lock on to them.
Any suggestions what else I shall have a look at?
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,
stefan
You might want to try this method, which seems to have helped some
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043034&highlight=how+i+fixed+my+gps
Ah thanks for that.
I will have a look later on when I am at home and give it a test.
The second suggestions looks a bit more complicated actually.
But anyway - i think it is fantastic to pay 200€ for a smartphone for having then manually fiddle around on the gps antenna to get it working....
"thumbs up" for that!
Just wanted to let you know the first Hint worked for me so thanks alot again for it
still have problems with the battery but will check other threads and see if I can find out something.
Hey all,
I've just become a proud owner of a HTC One and I'm loving it.
Everything worked pretty much flawlessly from the start, although I missed some neat features I had with a custom ROM on my old device, but nothing I couldn't fix.
However, there are about a dozen wifi spots I use through the day but up to now, I've been able to connect to only 2 of them. I don't really think it has much to do with the phone but rather some (security) settings on the routers in question that may be incompatible. But I have no idea which settings that may be.
So far I haven't had much luck as many of the search results are about the HTC One X. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Having serious troubles with the GPS (I think ever since I upgraded to KitKat). I've tried a couple of ROMs and went back to the stock rooted one found here. I will get a fix at times but it will be lost within a minute or so and makes things very frustrating.
What's the best way to troubleshoot this? I've tried Chartcross GPS test, but it doesn't fix anything. Any help would be really appreciated.
Anybody?

If you google your question you will find loads of the same exact issue. I am also having the same exact issue, it only kind of works on stock rom with no root. But even then not for very long. Samsung decided to put garbage gps radio's in our phones so gps is pretty much non existent on the Note 3. I'm on my 4th phone from ATT. Not only does the GPS suck, the connection losses are pretty unbearable at times and have actually costed me customers. And to think I traded my S5 for this POS....really frustrating.
TLDR: Someone at Samsung needs punched in the face, twice.

Interesting. Mine was working perfectly prior to this whole kitkat ordeal. If I Odin back to stick and reflash to 4.4.2, do you think it will remedy the issue?
That's what i did because I need gps daily, though it still has major issues, I'm literally trying to sell it, my s5 never lost lock, even in my pocket.

Do you think there's any use in ODIN'ng back to stock and then trying the custom 4.4.2 ROMs or is it not going to work?
