Gps today only works-no other - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

We have 2 titans. Mine works great. The gf's is beign a turd. She has been having lots of problems with the gps working right for a while and I'm stuck on it.
The only gps program that will work right is Gps today. Google, Live search and Garmin XT keep searching in circles. They all pick up the gps sats but won't give anything after that.
I have hard reset it a few times, restored it to the setup on my own phone with sbp backup, reflashed, hard reset....
Any tips?

What carrier?

HELP GPRS is not working! (no answer at the number dialed)

After using WM 2003 I downgraded to te original 02-rom (3.17.03) everything works fine, but i cant connect to GPRS. I used the o2 auto-config tool an tried to make a connection manualy, with no succes.
I never messed with the radio-rom (4.21)
The phone works fine, so it isn't a hardware problem???????? (correct me if i'm wrong)
I tried soft and hard resets, deleted connections and made new ones. I'm out of idees. Can anyone help me? :?: :?:
this has happened to me on a number of occasions, especially after playing around with different versions. what i would suggest is re-autoconfig then wait, its as though the system (O2) needs time to realise there is a new phone on the network. it sometimes takes a few hours then everything works as usual.

I've had similar problems with T-Mobile after upgrading roms.
The solution has always been to call them and they reset your connection on their end.
(No idea what that means but I imagine there is a big switchboard with everyone's name and the tech walks over and flips my switch!)
This has happended 2 or 3 times and their reset always fixed the problem.
GPRS suddenly started working again! (done nothing)
I guess it was provider problem... (3 days!!!! :evil: )
I'm having the same problem now. I upgraded to 4.00.16 and Radio ROM 6.24 2 weeks ago and yesterday the GPRS stopped working. I called T-Mobile. They tried everything and now opened a ticket.
Any ideas on what may be causing this?
Ive got the same problem. Got my main board replaced. Recieved the phone back. Installed new 2003 OS now GPRS wont connect. Im 120% sure ive got the settings wright. Bugger Bugger Bugger!

Mines fixed. I forced Vodafone in NZ to remove my GPRS account and recreat it. Works perfect now.
I'm writing from my XDA via GPRS. GPRS mysteriously came back after 3 days.

Is Quick GPS installed? You can get from #2 post here.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=52463
Yeah quick gps is installed and updated, even did the qpst fix and nothing.
YAY!!!! finally got the file off telenav and my gps is working, dont know why mine only works with alltel nav installed.
Well alltel nav works but google maps dont.......guess this will have to do. Should i post the cab that i used?
absolutely

Well it works sometimes......the gps is the only thing that disappointments me with this phone....
If you are using the newest Alltel radio (1.12.20F) the GPS is terrible. Try a different radio. I'm running the Verizon 1.03.09V radio and GPS is working great.
yeah thats the radio ive been using you have no probs with the verizon radio? never messed with the radios before.
I've been using the Verizon radio for a few weeks with no issues. I've been getting decent battery life with it too. I used the Sprint 1.03.15F Radio for a while too with no issues.
I've seen two Alltel Touch Pros personally that the 1.12.20F radio killed the GPS. Change the radio and everything was back to normal.
That verizon radio worked google maps found 9 sats, no more iffy alltel nav problems.. thanks.

[Q] 1X no matter what

Any ideas? I have a Plain Jane rooted TB that has been stuck in 1X despite (in order):
- rebooting
- pulling battery
- restoring a known good saved ROM from ROM Manager
- toggling enable on RevA
- installing jcase's rooted 1.70.605 OTA and MR2 radio
- factory reset
I am in midtown Manhattan. I should have stellar 3G/4G. Is there anything left to do but return the phone to VZ?

You should check your settings and see if your mobile network is on(obvious answer and I feel like you have probably done that). Make sure you dont have any apps that are turning it off i.e. juicedefender or any other apps that control your mobile network. It could be the ROM you are using so try and use your stock ROM and see if you get 3G/4G in that. Make sure your SIM card is in properly. I do not know if that will be an issue but it could help. Also along with ROMs make sure the ROM you are using is friendly with the radio you are using. I can not think of much else. Google it too and search this forum or others that might help too! Good luck.
The simplest and most obvious possibility that still has to be asked: Do you have the back cover on the phone?

I have the Stock ROM w/corret radio and yes mobile is on, airplane mode off. Also tried pulling the battery. This sucker stuck on 1X for dear life.

yes, back cover is on
I had the same problem you did. I used Bamf 3.0 and flash the newest leak radio. My phone all of the sudden the next day dropped 3G. I went into the VZ store today and told them my sim card died and they gave me a new one. It working now, so I said unroot your phone like I did and get a new sim card. Make sure you update to their newest software before going into the store.
Seem like alot of people on the forum are saying they are not getting 3G/4G lately after the new radio that was out. I got my radio the day it was leak.

Thanks. But I had my problem before I flashed the new radio. I've been using the original plain jane root from back in March. It worked two nights ago, was stuck in 1X the next morning.
Since I now have the new OTA stock is there an easy way to get it out of root or should I just follow the sticky instructions and go all the way back to original ROM?
Instead of taking it in you could also just give them(verizon) a call. I know they can see if your phone is rooted from there and many verizon workers have theirs rooted and might be able to help you!
Yeah mine worked 2 days ago too but yesterday it died I was using bamf for a while now. I flashed the radio before that too, all of the sudden it just dropped. The guy at VZ store told me that never happened before that a sim card just die like that.

Thanks, but I spoke to VZ last night. The rep was nice and all but said the factory reset should fix the problem (it didn't) He said the next step would be to replace the phone. I might call again tonight to see if I can bump up the tech support ladder to someone more knowledgeable. Still hoping someone here could help me out.
Like I said, I had the original plain jane root that everyone did back in March when the phone came out. No reason for it to suddenly get stuck in 1X the other day.
Ive had that problem twice now. The first time my 4g antenna stopped working for whatever reason. I replaced the battery cover and it worked again for a few days. When it stopped again I called verizon and they sent me a new phone which is probably what youre gonna have to do.
So... VZ is next-day mailing me a new phone. I wanted to exchange it in the city but they said once you have the phone for more than 14 days exchanges have to be done by mail. Still, I'd love to know why the phone died.

[Q] Stuck with a disappearing APN problem

Yesterday I bought an i717, an unlock code so I can get it working on T-Mobile, and put the newest Cyanogenmod nightly on it.
I noticed that my data speed was stuck on Edge and found out with some searching that this was common problem. I went to this thread and have followed it's instructions but now I've hit a wall and can't figure it out.
I've flashed both the radios that should work but am getting no working results. Can anyone offer me a hand with this? I would greatly appreciate it.
I don't have T-Mobile but suggest try different ROM. Also make sure have most recent twrp

I'll give that a shot, thanks
Thanks for the reply. I tried all that, new TWRP and all kinds of different ROMs but the problem persists. I did notice one thing however, and that was when the phone had the ROM flashed on it, brand new (like just after a factory reset), 4G worked really well. That is up until I turned the wifi on. Turning the wifi back off, and/or restarting, and/or clearing cache and dalvik will not get the 4G connection back. I'm at a loss. Also if I try flashing a different radio I'll have the disappearing APN problem. So for now I'm stuck with EDGE.
What other options could fix this? Could the build prop be making a fuss? I don't really know where to go.
It sounds like your sim isn't a 4g provisioned sim. The APN would stick if the sim was appropriate.

I think my SIM is provisioned, it works fine in any other phone from tmobile. in my gs2 I had it worked fine. that was a few days ago.

Tho I guess a new SIM card could be worth a shot.
This is "The Answer Post"
I got it! It was in the mobile network options. Since this is an ATT phone with an ATT radio I had to think a little differently, since I'm used to T-Mobile settings. The "Data Roaming" and "National Data Roaming" check boxes were unchecked. Again, being an ATT radio I guessed that these needed to be on. Once doing that I went down to network operators to manually select "T-Mobile" as my network. Once I did, voila! 4G connectivity now works like a charm.
Just wanted to let the internet know, in case someone else needs this.
Good save!

GPS Issues

Has anyone else said any trouble with the GPS? It seems that I have to restart my phone in order for it to work a lot of times. It will not pick up any satellites (GPS Status, for example, will show 0 out of 0,) and then once I restart the phone, it will work like normal. What can I do to make this work right without restarting? I have yet to root the phone. I am on the Sprint version.

You could probably try safemode / factory reset and see how the phone works.
I would suggest to go to Sprint and exchange the phone if it persists.

Also you want to calibrate your Compass. Or you will spin around and around if it does work after a reset. I tried using maps prior and the locks were roaming because of the missed calibration.

Thanks. I took it to a store, but it wasn't a tech store, so I will factory reset soon and then try the store if it persists.

I finally made it to a tech store. I hate dealing with Sprint Customer Service. Before I went there, I did a hard reset, waited it out a week, used it without my case for a few days, did GPSCLRX, used GPS Status, all the combinations of location and sprint/qualcomm "optimizations" and still had the issue.
When I took it to the store, the guy was trying to do everything in his power to give the phone back. He was checking stuff that had no bearing on anything, like adding the gps button to quicksettings, and adding my city to the world clock list. "Well it's working now, so you should be good." Of course it's working. I told you five times that GPS is ok when the phone is restarted, but gets 0/0 sats a few hours later. "It's the magnet on the case" I tried it for a couple of days without the case, next. "What is that program you showed me with the satellites, it's probably intefering." Take it off. Hard reset the phone again, just don't erase my SD card (with that level of incompetence, I should have brought it to them freshly reset without the card.) After a few more guesses, he finally gave it to the repair person. I had brought my other phone so they could activate it so I could take care of other business and come back, but the guy kept on doing other stuff. I was ready to go full retard on him, but the repair person came out, took me outside with the phone, told me he concluded that even the gps radio at that point in time was not behaving correctly, and that his htc one max had the same issue before he traded it in for a note 3. I get to pick up a new max on Wednesday. Hopefully this one will be ok.
Cool, can't you guys contact htc service directly? But I would love a new proper phone instead of repaired one, which might develop other problems later.

HTC usually only does that if you buy it directly from them. As long as the phone is in the same or better condition than what I brought in (with the problems fixed, and rootable,) I'm good.
The new phone gets a nice GPS lock in my apartment. That hardly happened with any phone. If only it would pick up the LTE better, but I have to fault Sprint and my apartment, not HTC on that one.

Good to hear rock on!
Another twist
I have the Verizon flavor HTC One Max. Since day one, I have not been able to get decent GPS signal. Verizon has replaced my phone twice in less than a month. First one replaced the first day because the 3G radio didn't work. Second replaced because the GPS took forever to connect regardless of location or conditions. The third phone has the same GPS issue as the first two. No matter where I am, no matter how clear the skies with direct line of site, the phone cannot find a satellite to lock on. After a lot of research, I used the GPS Status app and used the Manage A-GPS State in tools to reset and then download GPS assistance data from the Internet. Nice try, but it did not make any difference. So on to the second set - I uninstalled Google Maps updates and then disabled it. (My phone is stock so I cannot uninstall it.) Suddenly, I CAN get GPS signal. In a couple minutes of turning on GPS, my phone finds satellites and knows where it is in the world. So for me, Google Maps had a conflict with HTC One Max's GPS ability. I don't know why, but this resolved the issue for me. Now if I could only have both Google Maps AND GPS. Suggestions welcome!
Update: Removing Google Maps worked for about 4 days, then I could no longer get GPS signal anywhere, anytime. Not sure what to do next. HTC is willing to attempt a repair, but they won't give me a loaner while they work on my phone. Not sure what I am going to do, but suggestions or advice are certainly welcome.
Update 2: April 7th I got the Android 4.4.2 update, and now the GPS works like it should. I can use Google maps with no problem - it also got an update that evening, which may or may not have helped resolve the issue/conflict. But now the phone GPS works and I no longer have a problem.
