Hi,
I have a problem with gps in my Sensation XL. It dosent work. I tried to use factory default and didnt worek.
I have stock orange rom (Poland) 2.3.5 sense 3.5 number of software 1.05.401.4.
Do You have a same problem with GPS?
I have same software unbranded rom (Germany) and everything works fine. But i got to say sometime it doesn't find satellites when i'm indoor....
Hmm its strange. My gps doesnt work indoor and outdoor. Mayby this hardware is faulty. Im waiting for next solution.
Bye my HTC
I do have some problems with GPS also. When I use Sports-Tracker, it works like a charm but when I try to use Copilot navigation program it doesn't nesessary work at all. Sometimes it finds the satellites in a second, sometimes not at all. And no matter where I am, indoor or outdoor. But with the sport program it finds those right away, indoo or outdoor. Weird... But I had similar problems with HD2 so it might be application end problem.
Hi, colud you download from play market aplication gps status 3.8.1 and please check this apz found the satelite. My xl doesnt found any satelite. Thx
Bye my HTC
Don't bother m8. Probably your is not working i guess. Just bring it for repair. That's the only thing you can do

sorry on my bad english, i have one question my gps used to work very good
and now after i installed some software on my tytn ii it hardly working at all i tried with program GPS TEST it only finds 1 sattelite but it used to find 5 or 6
thx
if you dropped your Kaiser, then you may have broken the internal ceramic antenna....
if not, some of the GPS software out there can screw up the GPS, you need to hard reset or reflash your rom to go back to normal.
Happened to me, I believe it was Google Maps, after running it, my GPS still worked fine but other GPS software started getting stuck on direction and speed data....
I am so annoyed with HTC Diamonds GPS. It just sucks and doesn't work. I had earlier updated the radio to 1.25.06 and then it didn't work. Other members over here advised to switch to 1.25.05 and yet it doesn't work. I did a hard reset too but no luck.
Map King fails to work and Google Maps keeps on saying trying to seek Satellites and yet it just shows 0.
I am truly disgusted with HTC and will never again buy their products
Funny, I have a Diamond too, and my GPS works perfectly. Actually it's the best GPS I've ever seen. Flash 1.93 ROM, then use QuickGPS to download actual GPS positions and try again.
By the way, you're not trying to run GPS inside the buildings are you? Go out into the street and try there. GPS doesn't work inside.

Kid:
Have you set manual settings in google maps?
This way:
COM4
and 4800.
Luck!
I had a flat tyre on my Mercedes the other day! I am so annoyed with Mercedes!
I will never buy Mercedes again!!
you need out your battery from your phone and put it back after one minute.
GPS works perfect on my Diamond. Much better than some car GPS devices i've seen. Dunno why yours doesnt work. Maybe you are a noob?
Doesnt work inside buildings btw..
Mine also working fine with MapKing2007 and HTC GPS Tool....
BTW I'm setting it at 57600.... is this fine? or actually does this setting matter?
I am currently running Swift Rom v5 and yes i am trying the Gps outside. Regarding the settings in Google Maps, i have kept it to automatic. QuickGps is also updated.
I will try the battery thing and will set it to manual
Thx to everyone for their input,
As the "I will never buy a HTC again" threads are coming up in decent sequence, I would dare to see a system behind it if I would be a bad mood. Backdoor marketing at a glance?
My TD GPS is the best I ever had. Sat fix with a loox N560 and Navigon MB6 - 2 minutes waiting. Same with my TD: 10 seconds waiting.
nextavenger, sometimes the prob is not in your hand resp. on the table but between the ears or behind your eyes? Just a guess though ...

I have no problem with the phone. I own two iphones too. I am enjoying my Diamond more than these iphones. When i had picked this phone, i had never intended for Gps feature but moving to a new city all together, i figured the gps can actually help me.
I went through all the previous threads complaning about the Gps lag and gps problems before starting this thread. Its not only me who is facing a problem. I did a complete research before starting a new thread. I bought maps specially for this and if the device doesn't work out of the box, its kinda sad.
it is not diamond's problem, gps is great in there !
When I bought my TD the GPS worked perfectly. Then i start flashing various roms and radios, and began experience various problems. Hard to get fix, losing signal and a huge lag.
Finally i flashed the new official rom 1.93 with radio 05 and all my problems disappear. Now it works great. It takes only seconds to get fix and the signal is rock steady, and the lag is no worse than other gps units i have before.
Try Duttys newest rom, he has integrated the radio and rom in his download. He thinks that flashing radio and rom at the same time may cure the gps problem, and i think he is right.
I flashed dutty's latest rom,did a hard reset and my gps gets a fix in a matter of seconds.

for everyone who has gps problem, follow these steps and reset gps data:
1) remove battery for five minutes
2) install gpstest 1.04 and set it to com4 at 4800 baud
3) wait for a fix in an open space (about 3-4 min.)
4) exit the program and start tomtom (set it on integrated gps) or other navigation software and here you go!!!
These steps help everyone who has gps problem after installing, removing navigation softwares and works with every gps.
I hope this will help you. Bye.

Is it working yet ?
ok so i did this thing:
Flashed my phone using Swift's recent rom i.e v5.5
Hard Reset
Setup my phone
removed the battery for 10 mins
installed GpsTest
Loaded Google Maps
and voilla! its now working. Gps is locking fast too.
this is the best gps a ever had (except the SIRF in the XTEN until it quit on me)
from day 1 my gps worked fine with the usual lag. changed radio and flashed a custom ROM (see my signature) and no more lag.
i can guess looking at all the gps threads (i think there are more threads on this subject than threads on new ROMs) that there is a problem. i just don't understand why so many ppl has it and so many don't
btw, i am using iGO8.
Never had a problem neither with my Diamond. On the 1.37 ROM with .03 radio it took my GPS between 15 - 30 seconds to get a fix after a cold start. Which I think is already quite fast. Now on the 1.93 + .05 on a cold start I'm able to have a fix in 5 seconds more or less. I'm really amazed! I loved my Diamond already, now I love it even more

Pity you can't retract the heading of your thread....
My GPS works great also. No lag, fast locks.
You might want to download "htc gps tool". In that one you can do a warm reset on the gps, and that sometimes solves a gps problem.
Just dont run "clear storage" option in the program as you then have to restart, download quick gps settings, and restart again.
Greetings.
Hi,
I have a new Touch Diamond2, lovely device! (previously had TYTN, TYTN II and Touch Pro).
Anyways, i bought CoPilot 7 for Touch Diamond. Eventually got it installed but i couldnt get past the Tips and Tricks startup screen since the buttons were 'off screen' because of the new resolution of the Diamond2. Also, a lot of icons and buttons missing when i finally got it going, so i guess CoPilot 7 for Touch Diamond is not quite compatible with Diamond2! (there seems to be a CoPilot7 Live HD version comming soon, maybe that will be of help).
Also tried my old reliable TomTom6, that didnt work, kept crashing the phone on initial installation startup.
TomTom7 didnt fare much better, the .cab i used resulted in a 'This software is not intended for this device', or words to that effect.
Has anyone got any GPS software (preferably legit versions) working properly on the Diamond2?
Also, if anyone got the TomTom7 working, which cab version did they use? Hopefully i can use my old TomTom6 maps with it.
Thanks
M

TT 7 works bit has still some problems with the voices.
iGO 8.3.2 PDA version working without any problems!!!!
I've got the vanilla version of CoPilot on my TD2 and it seems to work fine except some parts of the UI are stretched a little. It all works fine though. See attached shots.
@jlp_svk
Nice to know, but how did you managed that igo 8 works fine?
I am tryin it a few days, maybe I am to stupid.
I got 2 folders 2 2577 and igo8. Copied both to sd and then I found language folder, buildings and so on in contend empty.
Can you give me a little advice. Thanks.

Hi,
Good to see someone got CoPilot working. May try and get a refund on the Touch Diamond version and get the 'normal' one which you have. Better still, if the supplier has this HD version, that would be the best for TD2.
My phone came with Route66 included and it works just fine.
cheers

If you get in touch with the Co-Pilot customer support people, they will send you D2 compatible CoPilot.

any working GPS with D2? There's plenty of them! Right now I'm testing iGo, Navigon, Garmin and Route 66, all of them working flawlessly
For all those are not satis with tomtom and clipping voice I can confirm that
IGO8 8.3.2.80621 PDA ist running perfect on D2.
Very goog gps reception and nice picture with TTS and 3D Picture.
My recomendation!!!!http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
Navigon 7 ....
needs some changes but also works on Topaz......
Cheers
Michael
Garmin is OK.
Hey guys,
Thanks for all your advice and opinions on what software works with the Diamond2, good thing about the thread is that others new to the phone can benefit from this too
ALK, makers of CoPilot have given me a copy of the HD edition so hopefully that will run on the Diamond2 ok. I also installed Route 66 v7 and Garmin XT5 for the time being, they both work fine.

Hi,
I have also no GPS signal with my Touch Diamond 2. But I don't have TomTom, IGo or something else. I just want to get the GPS signal to use in QuickGPS. But there is no signal at all. Does anyone know why?
And where can I configure the internal GPS antenna? Is that possible?
For testing I downloaded and installed odgps (outdoor gps), but it get's also no signal. In odgps I have configured COM4 with Baudrate 9600. But no signal. Does anyone know how I have to configure GPS programs to get them work (as said, I cannot find a screen to get or set the configuration of the internal GPS antenna).
Could a hard reset help (as for the old Touch Diamond)? I would like to avoid that due to the destruction of the data...
Thanks in advance for your help and best regards,
B.
Garmin's GMXT runs well on the TD2. Only problem noted so far is that the GPS signal strength (green vertical bars) does not work - even after a sat lock is achieved.

Is there an alternative to GMXT?? I find it runs too slow for my liking (when I do browse map) I'd rather something like google maps style but can use offline. Tried using tracky but couldn't figure out how the hell to use it.

I have iGo 8.3 working on my Diamond 2 but I'm *really* unhappy about navigation speed. I thought, at first, that it was slow because of the screen size and resolution, but doing a preview on a route shows it can animate the screen more than quick enough.
Screen refresh only seems slow during live GPS navigation which leads me to think that it's this "GPS lag" that I've something only a little about.
Can anyone fill me in on it? Does it affect the Diamond 2? Are there any remedies or are some apps more affected by it?
I love my Diamond 2 but this is letting it down somewhat...
Google maps worked fine for me as well.
viaGPS 3.0 black edition works as well...
hi, i've got a problem :/ I have Kaiser and my gps can't connect :/ it's still "searching for gps..." my radio is: 1.65.16.25. Maybe somebody help what is wrong with this. Thanks a lot!

just to give you some tips:
port that should work is port 4 and the baud rate : 9600.
it will take like easy 7 minutes before it finds some satellites..
this is the a problem or an issue that is difficult to solve, but if you wana read more on this and how to enhance your GPS with different tools like , quick GPS, HTC GPS Tool ..etc. ..
check this |ink: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360477
I have tried Tomtom and IGO , both of them are to slow in finding satellites...
let us know if this worked for you!
waiting for better solution..

I have Garmin XT on mine and I have a similar problem. I will be tracking fine, then it will say GPS OFF. and then it will come back on a few minutes later.
I have an inconsistent and strange problem with my gps fix. Especially with a cold start. Sometimes Tomtom Navigator gets a fix within +/- 2-5 minutes. Sometimes not after 20 minutes.
Strange thing: Google maps is always able to get a fix, even if TomTom is not able. Once Google Maps gets a fix, I can start TomTom and then he finds a fix too. So sometimes in order to get a gps fix with TomTom, I have to start Google Maps.
This is a problem, because Google Maps uses internet, which I don't want if I am in a foreign country(Belgium for instance).
I am running Energy.RAPHAEL.21901 With Coockie Home tab 1.7.1,
Navigator 7.915(9196)
Radio version: 1.10.OliNex(don't know if it matters)???
Just ask if you need more information. Hope someone can help me!
Do you have to disable agps?
I am too experiencing similar issues in Garmin, iGo, tomtom.......
they all seem to gat a fix relatively quicker and lose it. and stuck in a cycle of getting a fix and losing it.
BUT, applications like, gps speedo, gps dasgboard are working without any issues like that...
any ideas?
BTW, i tested many different ROMs available here with similar GPS issue.
I tested IGO yesterday and it gets a fix perfectly. On the other hand, yesterday tomtom suddenly started working:S.. I hate problems which are inconsistent XD!
I am going to test IGO a week. I expect it will always get a fix, since google maps also gets a fix whenever I try.
What I haven't done is upgrading my radio version. So that is my last alternative.
Keep you posted.
@ Argentocruz: I had already disabled AGPS
Mee too. Disabled Agps and tried. Result: same.
my radio ver: 1.08.25.20
should I try a dif. radio? if so to which one? anyone can suggest Pl. thanx.

Try a different radio yes. With the stock radio 1.something my fix was slow and I had quite some lag in TomTom. With 1.14.25.35 this issue was gone. It takes me about 1 minute to get a fix (and sometimes it doesn't fix, so I have to reboot the phone)
ok. will try this Raphael Radio 1.14.25.35.
Sorry for asking here... I downloaded this radio pack and it contains Raph_1.14.25.35_rilphone.CAB file also.
do I need to install this cab after flashing the radio?
10q.
BTW, anyone from Australia tested this?
Flashed the radio. problems seem to be gone..... tomtom, igo works perfectly so far.
will test more. thanx all for the support.
