The other day, I was trying to navigate in my car using Google maps. Only the find that the direction pointer was always pointing either north or east, or somewhere in between. So I kept thinking I was going the wrong way!
I then downloaded a compass app and the exact same thing happens.
I'm not sure if it's because I'm using a custom rom, viperone 1.2.1, but is anyone else experiencing a similar problem? And should I try running an RUU to see if that solves it?
Or should I be contacting my phone provider and ask for repair/replacement?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Also having issues getting a compass app to work. Anyone know anything about calibrating the sensors??

Hi all,
I wondered if anyone using a Hero in the UK had managed to get local results to appear without having GPS turned on. From my understanding the app should be able to determine your location based on Wifi and/or phone tower location but no matter what I search for I can't get any local results. Has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone know what the range of the 'local' search is?
Cheers in advance,
Michael
actually, I have just tried this with GPS on and still nothing so I suppose my question is has anyone in the UK got this working with the latest version and what is the range on local results. Also, does anyone have any idea what shops are included?
just tried myself and currently not finding anything local......
Thanks very much. Really appreciated.
Just glad it's not just me, been tearing my hear out with this. In case anyone is interested I have emailed ShopSavvy and it is in a queue to be investigated. Will keep this updated as and when I hear anything incase anyone is interested.
Hey everyone,
So I just installed CM10.1 (cm-10.1-20130722-NIGHTLY-m7spr.zip) on my HTC One Sprint variant. Everything works fine except for GPS.
GPS does connect but it does not move as I start driving. It is really slow and cannot keep up with the car. And no I'm not speeding, only going about 60mph lol. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any way to fix the problem?
Thank you in advance.
I noticed this same problem while i was trying to use mapmyrun, coulndt find anything on it either so i just switched to viper rom

Rooted HTC One (Sprint) - s-off
GPS problem - compass facing seems to add 45 degrees CW to whatever it should be. This causes a lot of problems with GPS. Tried resetting the compass with the 3 axis spin trick. Tried resetting gps using gps status and ##4772579#. No change. Downgraded Maps to original. Solves some problems but not all. Mainly the downgraded maps seems to respect directional travel as an indication of bearing.
Has anyone seen this? Any ideas how to fix?
There are a few gps calibration apps in the playstore.. Whether they work or not is another story, but maybe try one out and see..

Tried many. Thinking maybe a hardware problem. I set it next to an HTC EVO and the numbers come up close to 45deg estimate off in every app. Weird and annoying.
Hey there. I'm hoping that someone can help me out with this. A few days ago I updated to the latest rom from insertcoin. Since then I've had no data connection. Anything that requires Internet won't work. I've spent the day reflashing backups that I know are good but nothing worked. Tried different radios, checked apn settings and mobile data (which says I'm connected) without any success. In a moment of despair I reverted back to full stock hoping that it would solve the problem but again no joy.
At this stage I've run out of ideas which is why I've come grovelling to you guys. I couldn't find any solutions on Google, well nothing that helped. Everything looks like it's supposed to. Internet works over wifi but nothing works on mobile data. Any bright sparks out there with any suggestions ?
Cheers vinny

Thanks for the reply.I don't think it's the sim card cause I've tried it on another phone and it works fine.Hardware failure sounds more likely.I'm always careful when it comes to treating my phone.If I dropped it or something then I'd first think about a hardware problem,but nothing unusual has happened.Could flashing roms actually damage hardware ?
I one time did read about change the tel name in direct wifi to htc one that shold help someone wrote

Without a logcat of the issue there is almost no way to fix it. Many things can effect the gps. Some you can do something about and some you cant. Its not always the device/rom that has an issue.
