No apps, including the stock browser on google.com, seem to be able to get my GPS location.
Oddly enough, putting the phone in the dock, and going to maps or navigation, GPS seems to work fine.
Edit - To be clear, I mean putting the phone in the car dock.
I'm having similar issues. I'm unable to get a location/GPS fix within any browser, Inc stock, and within the news/weather widget. Other apps, inc gmaps obtain a fix as normal. Any suggestions for a fix?
Same happened to me after I first upgraded but working fine now. Try rebooting.
No, tried that numerous times already. Anyone have an other ideas?
My AGPS is not working after upgrade to Froyo...
I have tried rebooting, clearing application data, etc...
Finally I did a factory reset and it worked..
I have after factory reset, I checkd my APN information..
My phone providers information is automatically entered for me.
Before I just had the APN name in it.. and it is not working...
everything's working fine for me.
I have the same problem.
But I have noticed this is only when I'm not moving, if I'm in a car it works just as it should and finds my position very fast. But sitting at home or work it never finds my location.. have I missed anything?! I have selected both wifi and GPS in settings.
I wiped and it fixed itself. However, now my GPS is always on, or the icon for it is always active. Trying to figure out how to solve that.
Had to wipe mine too.. works great now though!
I've just tried wiping, but no still no fix. Restoring back. I guess it's not really important, but it certainly is annoying.

Using beautiful widgets, by chance?
And by wipe, you just mean factory reset from recovery, right?

Yep. Uninstalled it and the problem stopped. It's a shame, that clock widget is, well, beautiful!

Yep, I'm sure they'll update it soon.
I just wiped and still have no GPS though
Scratch that, works after a wipe and reboot!
Oh, turn off GPS in beautiful widgets and manually set the location. Problem solved until they update it.
i did a factory reset and restore and gps still doesn't work!!
Weirdly the GPS works within the browser when I visit mobile.twitter.com, but still no joy with google.com or the news widget.
The plot thickens.
I'm having the same issue, and I don't have Beautiful Widgets. I'm running Paul's ROM which I assume most of you are too.
I am having the same issue. I downloaded the manual update from google and installed froyo that way. I have rebooted, factory reset and nothing seems to fix the GPS issue. The GPS is the primary use of my device. Is there a way to revert back to 2.1 if there isn't a fix?
Okay so over the past few days I've been flashing a bunch of diff roms to see what I like. I've had a constant problem with getting mms to work on any of them. Well I was doing all of this from home and always had wireless to use for data, hence I used it.
Tonight, however, after flashing a few diff roms I found out I didn't have a data connection at all. Tried a couple diff cm6 nightlies and the blackmod of cm6, and after flashing the only way I can access the internet is through wi fi. Otherwise I got nothing.
Sooo, maybe my mms problem was just this all along or maybe not. Anyway, what could be the cause of losing all data connectivity. Phone says it's connected in status. And the widgets somehow magically update. But the browser, market,mms, etc don't work at all.
I'm gonna flash the 0.7 aospmod and see what happens. Any help you can offer is appreciated.
And yes, I might just be an idiot. Forgive me.
Just flashed aospmod v.07 and same ****. No data connectivity.
What gives? I feel stupid.
a guess
possible APN settings issue, did you flash back to a 2.1 sense rom, and try an Over The Air activation and update profile?
I honestly don't know but thats a guess... I use my phone with pageplus (verizon) and editing my APN settings is what fixed it for me.
Ruu. Started fresh.
Everything seems to be okay.
Thanks.
This happens on a lot of roms. I've found to fix it all u have to do is toggle on and off either or both airplane mode and moblie network.
I found having to open browser and put in my cell number b4 sprint data would work, also prl update works for me.

I had this happen to me (including all bars showing and things refreshing) and spent several hours working on it only to determine the only solution was to RUU and start over....but its faster this time around because you have nandroids....just flash one after you re root from before you lost data (if you have one) and if not, back up your apps and data with titanium backup or mybackup pro...
(I had tried all the things listed in the previous posts....not saying they wont work for you, but in my case, they didn't)

it there any issue with Google server, i am not able to sign my gmail after i setup the ROM, even the stock have a same issue, any one meet this problem

Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

any idea guy's i will hit my phone in the wall soon nothing work, i tried everyyyyy thing Gmail on setup wizard don't connect over tmobile or even WiFi, i don't know what else to do
it probably is caused by DNS server issue.. especially if you have root, some apps may change your DNS settings.
try this, goto terminal, become su and type:
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
this will give your device 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) as DNS server.

thanks dude, but this issue also with the stock without root
edit :- i tried this but doesnt work
Did you find a solution. I also can't access my Google account with my Nexus One. This is starting to get really frustrating. Been a whole day and no sync with google servers.
My sympathies, seems to be working fine here...
Let's all hope that this is just in preparation for Gingerbread or something awesome like that...

Its very odd whats happening. I was finally able to log-in by entering a bad password a couple times, and it recognized it as bad. But then when I was doing other test ROM's, same thing happened again. You gotta just keep trying till it goes through.
Whats weird is that my backup nandroids that are already logged in work fine.

I'm having the same issue. It started last week. My gmail accounts simply stopped working, nothing I can do to fix it. And this happened out of nowhere. I didn't make any changes and one day they just stopped. So annoying.

Yea, thats exactly when and how mine started too. I wonder if this update patch fixes this issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844464
So my wifi will see networks, try and connect, then instantly disconnect and repeat. This problem has occurred for the last two roms that I installed. I don't think it is a problem with the rom because one, I havnt read so anywhere, two, i have tried installing and reinstalling and reinstalling again many many times. When I install a new rom, I always factory wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik wipe.
I am currently on Apex latest rom.
Has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix it? It is driving me crazy not having wifi!
EDIT
so it seems by toggling airplane mode on n off, the problem has been fixed. sorry for making this thread
so i thought airplane mode works, but it only did for a lil then keeps messing up. can anyone help please?

Don't know if this will work for you or not. Some have had success...
Go into WiFi settings and 'forget' your network(s), then reset your router/switch and then turn your WiFi back on. Sometimes it will reestablish with the right permissions.
ya i have tried that too. i don't understand what the problem is. I'm bout to just give up

My problem is similar, it sees my home network and connects (and stays connected), but when I try to access the internet or markets, it says network error and won't let me connect. When I switch back to 3g and WiFi off, now I can hook up to internet and markets.
I'm checking into my wireless router. It might be the problem, tho my wife's computer is hooked up wirelessly and it seems fine, no problems, so idk.
Last week, my Hero suddenly stopped being able to see my home network. All the other networks around me are visible, but not my home network. I tried the Wi-Fi FXR app on the market, but that didn't work at all. Did a full wipe and installed a fresh new ROM, and I *still* can't see my network. Even manually entering the info for it did nothing.
I can connect to other networks on my Hero, and all my other devices at home can see and connect to my network perfectly fine. Does anybody have any idea what else I can try? Having tried a different ROM and a full wipe of everything, I'm at a loss now.
Edit: Tried actually *formatting* system/data/cache, then installing a different ROM (CM6 this time). Still no luck. My home network never shows up on the list, but all others do. Rebooted my modem and router, even changed the security to just WEP (was WPA2 before, which worked just fine before this randomly happened). I can't understand how, without doing anything, my Hero just suddenly refuses to see my wireless network. It can't just suddenly be incompatible with my router after working just fine with dozens of ROMs and a couple years under their belt.
i feel your pain
when i turn on wifi on my hero, no matter what rom it is, i can see all the other access points right away. but my ssid wont pop up, i have to wait a good 3 minutes until it pops up and connects. have you tried waiting longer for it to show up? worth a shot.
I tried letting it sit for at least 5-10 minutes. I'll let it sit next to my router for a longer time and see if that does anything.
I let it sit for a few hours, but nothing popped up. Tried a few hours with and without the network being manually saved for connecting to. Definitely something odd going on here. Also tried connecting to other networks to see if maybe it'd do something, but that didn't make my home network show up either. I'm at a dead-end here, and I assume the lack of replies means nobody else has any other ideas either... lol.
the only thing i can tell you is ruu that sucker, usually when something goes haywire stock will fix it. hope you get it working, sounds like a major pain
edit: if your up to it, flash a stock rom from clockworkmod recovery and try it before going the ruu route, its worth a shot. i see you tried cyanogenmod, couldnt hurt to try a stock rom.
Thanks, I forgot about that. After so many Android phones, I start to forget which tricks fix which phones... lol. Currently I'm used to "Superwipe your phone if anything goes wrong". Unfortunately, I know of no such thing for the Hero.
But running an RUU is a great idea, and I should've thought of it. I'll be doing that out as soon as I get off work
Edit: Just installed an official RUU successfully, but... still can't find my wireless network. Seriously... I have no idea how that couldn't work. The router is fine, the phone is fine, and they've communicated with each other just fine for the last two years. Nothing has changed for this to happen. For as complete a wipe as installing an RUU does, this just doesn't make any sense.
Try changing your router to chanel 11. Then in your hero WiFi settings make sure its on 11 as well. See if that helps.

Have you checked the settings on your router? It may be that somehow your router blocks your Mac address or something like that.
