Hi all i have tried everything to get my gps to work, (only got it working once when an alltel rep emailed me alltel nav for the touch pro in cab format, phone got formatted and lost the cab and no one at alltel seems to know what im talking bout.) I have Mighty Rom 6 installed, location is on, have fiddled with the gps settings every which way i can, tried running sprint nav, Google maps, old copy of alltel nav available on someones forum.....gps just wont acquire any sats.
i had same problem with mm6 ,, tried a few other poplar roms with no luck,, i even flash from mm6 back to stock, got gps to work, flashed back to mm6 and it didnt work ,,, never got it to work , untill i flashed this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550120

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.

afternoon all, bit of a newbie here but will try and get my problem accross.
I have an orange M3100 with whatever rom that comes with as standard, to make it except a t mobile sim i used the free unlocker from here, version 2. this all worked fine until 2 months later my phone locked up on me and i had to hard reset. this went ok until when it was loading the rom. it got to the orange2006.tsk and always froze. after many many attempts i noticed on the boot screen it said NO GSM. i looked around here and realised i had a corrupt radio or no radio at all. confused i downloaded the radio only 1.35 and installed. finally success my phone loaded the rom which by now i had the xda live 0.20 and the radio worked fine. the problems i am having now are that whenever the phone looses signal, it won't in the conventional sense try and search or show the icon saying no signal. it just shows the last known signal strength before it was lost and then when i do want to make a call or send an sms it says "Phone operation failed" and looses signal and then tries to lock on again. this is extremely annoying as my girlfriend has reminded me on many occassions when trying to contact me, she just cannot get through. it gives her a dead tone.
i have tried flashing the device with the proper orange rom off the site thats from romania or somewhere to get an offical orange radio rom on again and then i flashed to xda live 0.20 and its still doing it.
is my radio just buggered or is there a simple flash solution i can do to fix it.
the phone is currently using XDA live 0.20 with radio 1.35.00.11 and bootloader 1.4 super CID (i think, as i can load any rom on it)
also to point out the phone never did this loosing signal and not changing thing before i had to hard reset.
thanks all and sorry for the long post.
it seems the problems seem to stem from Edge here in the uk on orange. i never saw the E icon before i upgraded the radio shack and now its coming up and errors. i never get the hanging problem with that.
anyone suggest anything? as i know edge is faster gprs i dont think i can disable it
thanks all
Consider changing your radio
I would start by changing to an older stable radio, perhaps 1.27. 1.27 is a very stable radio (in my experience), and it seems very tolerant. If that does not help, I would try to upgrade to the latest radio, 1.38. I am using it with the WM VI Black Ed. ROM without any problems here in the United States.
Good Luck! (Gotta keep the girl friend happy!)
Last week I updated my Radio to 1.48.
A few days ago I started doing tests by calling my PDA from my home number (testing the callerID function of Slide2Unlock) and realized that almost all calls would ring and then go to voicemail without my mobile ringing. Looking into it more and talking to people that call me on a regular basis, I realized that I am getting a lot of missed calls on my phone.
I reverted back to 1.47 and did the same tests with the same number of missed calls.
Going back to 1.43, my mobile now rings on the first ring, every time.
Seems like 1.43 is the better Radio for Rogers (Toronto)
I don't think it is only Rogers.
I was running 1.47 for a while ... a lot of network disconnects, so I thought the upgrade to 1.48 would make it better ... it made it worse, WAY worse. I am now back on 1.43 with no problems at all
1.48 perfect for me with FIDO. (or rogers if you want to be technical). It is not the Radio. I have been testing various ROMs. Some work better than others with the radios. I find those ROMs what were cooked with the PTT removed has issues.....
If I use ROMs that were originally without the PTT, I experience no issues what so ever with 1.48.
maybe you can get walshieu to give you 1.49 ?

Hello Landyman,
As you know there is a problem in SA on all the radio ROM versions.
Leaf are aware of it as it is network related.
They will shortly be releasing a WM5 and WM6 version with a new radio specific to our network.
At present it is on test with the networks.
Regards

I recently switched to the Sleuth Developer v3 ROM, does it fit the above category? I can always revert bach to the Schaps 3.57a ROM and try 1.48 again...

You mentioned it in another thread as well, IIRC.
From my experience, with our current situation, 1.43 works best (for me in any case)
I used 1.48 for about a week, had problems with reestablishing connections and some missed calls. Switched back to 1.47 with no issues. The Radio that rogers came out with for there system is 1.42, unfortunatly there is no update for this Radio until there is an update from Rogers. The only way to get it is to buy the phone from Rogers. And before it is asked it can't be dumped.
Same problem,

Would you recommend 1.47? I used it for a short while and it seemed OK. Did not test it as thoroughly as 1.48.
BTW, thank you for yor Rogers settings cab. Just found it yesterday and it saved me a lot of manual setting up.
As much as I am sorry others were having this problem, I'm glad I'm not the only one! After trying both 1.47 and 1.48 and missing calls to the point that my wife thought I was ignoring her, I finally went back to 1.43 and have been golden. Soooo.... you're not the only one.

I too missed about 6 calls today with 1.47, I am going back to 1.43, That Radio with Rogers has always been reliable.
Yes.
3.57a seems to be no issue for me.

In Montreal area,I tried 1.47 few days ago, often i had to dial twice to make a call, and the earpiece volume is lower than others. then change to 1.43, i missed many calls, but phone was ON, with reception, but all calls went to VM. then i changed it back to 1.41 yesterday. everything back to what a PHONE should be. sometimes, simpler is better...
With Fido using a 8525 with BB connect in Calgary. I was until recently, using the last wm5 ATT ROM which worked with BB connect. Missed calls with 1.48, so went back to 1.43. Now with vp3g wm6 BB connect version, decided to try 1.48 and the same missed calls issue. Back to 1.43 and everything is fine.
I noted this problem back on the 12th of July and was told by numerous members of this community I was crazy, "the radio's wouldn't have been released if it had this problem".

Now there's several threads popping up with users finally noticing this problem.. One person has suggested those suffering with this issue have older SIM cards - which I do - so maybe this is the problem? (Don't see how, but whatever, worth noting the age of my card.)
My Sim is at least 3 years old now... I'll play with a newer sim when I get a chance and report back.
I also had issues with 1.48 missing calls and losing signal for long periods of time while driving through bad coverage areas. Switched back to 1.40.30.00 and all is well now, receive all calls and when i drive through bad coverage area quickly reacquires signal

My SIM card is about 4 months old - definitely not an issue with an old card.
I wish I had noticed your earlier posts on the topic, I would never have upgraded to 1.47 or 1.48 if I had.
Do you have one of the "newer" HSDPA SIMs? I'm not sure if much has changed in the SIMs from older gen to newer gen - but I haven't noticed the dropped call issue with 1.48 and Schaps latest ROM.

Yes, I have the new HSDPA sim. Have not tried 1.48 with Schaps latest (installed it today) but am hessitant to upgrade the radio in case it does not work. I am back at work now and cannot afford any missed calls.
UPDATE: Installed 1.48 and tested - even though my phone immediately detected a 3G network (does not do it with 1.43) upon calling myself, 2 out of the 3 calls resulted in a missed call. Reverting back to 1.43.
UPDATE2: Reverted back to 1.43 and tested. My phone did not immediately register the network as 3G but all calls (3) rang to my phone on first ring.
I cannot get my new phone to get a signal after the following:
1. 2.4 unlocker (Hard-spl-mfg.exe)
2. Sprint Rom (RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship.exe)
3. DCD Rom (DCD_3.0.1_Verizon.exe)
I believe I followed all of the instructions and upgraded my XV6800 from stock to DCD 3.01. When I finally get booted up I can never get a signal acquired. I can dial *22802 and let it connect and then I get a signal, but even then I get an error about the #777 internet access, so something is wrong. I new A-Keys and made sure all of my info was written down and correct.
Is there a way to start over from stock? Can I relock and put the stock Verizon on and try again?
Help!
did you.....
When you ran in the Sprint ROM did you let the customization run ? If so then there is the problem, as it overwrites verizon parms with the sprint. That can be fixed by getting the VZW PRL and running it in with the EPST, then set your home SID/NID also in EPST, then you should have VZW signal and not roaming, then a *228 should reprovision the rest. If you did not write down your info before you flashed then you missed a step.
I was under the assumption that the Sprint customizations don't run until I tap the welcome screen which I did not. I immediately installed DCD 3.01. I'm returning it to stock to see if I can get a signal then starting over.
Where can I get the VZW PRL? I will search now.
ok then they did not run
well I guess they did not run but maybe your PRL and provisioning data got wiped, MSID, MID, SID/NID, you know that stuff. There are stock VZW ROM images out there but my methode would fix it safer and easier as I am sure that the signal issue is a missing or wrong PRL. Go into EPST (##778) and select 'view' and then look at PRL which should show 50989 or somthing close as that is the current VZW PRL, a different number would be someone elses overwritten on yours, blank is no PRL which is also badd. then look at SID/NID where the first set should be populated. If you fix just these 2 things then you should get back on VZW signal and be able to provision it. Going with a full restore is like crushing and reconstituting your car when it only needs a wash and the ash trays emptied. If you do still want to though, the stock images do exist here.
I relocked and put the Verizon stock back on and went through the setup procedures and the phone works great back at stock.
I started the update over.
Installed the Unlocker.
Installed Sprint ROM. No customizations allowed.
Installed DCD 3.01
Signal does not acquire but will after 15 minutes or so and all is fine. As soon as I soft-reset.. no signal. The PRL is the 50989 the latest. All of my MSID and other numbers match.
Maybe it's the DCD 3.01. I don't know where to find 3.0.0.
I'll keep searching. Thanks madman34 for your help!!!!
I've noticed that after waiting for the signal 15 minutes, everything works wonderfully. I've tried changing the MIP MODE over and over but that hasn't worked.
Anyone with DCD 3.01 and the new Sprint ROM Radio able to get a signal without waiting 15 minutes?
HELP!
Yep, I get signal within 3 seconds.... Not sure what the issue is with your phone....? I am currently a Verizon user....
I am a Verizon user with DCD's 3.0.1 and upon soft reset get a signal within 2-3 seconds.
Hi guys, just to let you know I'm in the same boat at the OP with a Verizon phone and No2Chem's 5055. I'll start a new thread with a more descriptive title and see if we can get some additional help.

Did you try the *22802 and hanging up? Geckotek mentioned that as a fix to the problem.
I also found that the customizations tried to run after installing DCD 3.0.1, did you let those run?

I've gone back to stock so that's what it says now. During my 1st call to tech support they had me go over many of the EPST settings and I think that's what it said but I was so perturbed I don't recall. I'll try again (was thinking of trying DCD's most recent as he has carrier specific ROM's) and if I loose the radio, I'll check again. Thanks for the input....

Spreeway, there is no such creature that enables RevA and GPS. These are enable by using the new sprint ROM (to upgrade the radio) and then a custom rom (DCD!) for verizon.
Quick update. Resolved. It was a prl issue, rolled back to an older prl and all is well. I guess I'll have to wait for an official rom from VZW to get the latest prl but all is working now.... How odd.
I am using 50989 with 3.0.1. Now that you're back to an older prl, dial *228 NOT *22802 and then press 2 at the prompt. Update the prl OTA and see if it works this time.
Tried and failed... Yesterday, once I figured out about the older PRL, I upgraded and called for a new A key. Tech support updated the A key on their side and he had me run *228 option one and when it rebooted I had no signal. I checked the PRL and it was 51020! They must have just released a new one... Rolled back with the tech on the line, didn't need a new A key and all is well since.
I still can't figure out why any of the Nationwide PRL's drop my signal but as my plan has coast to coast no roaming, I think if I get outside of my home zone it should still pick up towers (I hope but I dont travel much).
Also, I can't figure out why I can't change the roaming options in the phone options. It currently has no check infront of 'Sprint only' or 'roam only' and if I check either I loose the cell radio. Very odd!
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?

Hi, I have my Htc6800 (formely on alltel) and I got everything (voice,internet,mms,gps)working on MetroPcs. Now I got my friend Verizon XV6800 phone to flash to MetroPcs. I programmed everything exactly same as my 6800 but with his settings and number. I can not get any voice service. It has no Signal, I get this weird icon next to the signal tree.

Both running Ryan mogul Version 2.1 Light (WM 6.5) *Default Titanium. I tired to flash back original Verizon rom and I can do it but get same problem. I may add that both phones have cloned ESN's but only one works. His phone has his esn and mine has mine. Same roms,radio and bootloader on both devices. Please tell me what to do to fix this "No Service". Thanks
Sounds like you need a carrier cab. There was a thread that contained all that info already as well. Here is the site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501754
It also contains the cabs to get the MMS/Internet running as well
anytime you flash a rom non specific to your carrier you will need these files to bring up service. I hope it helps you out some.

Carefully read through all of the relevant threads Ryan Mogul has posted.
Many metro people have had issues and he seams to walk even the un-helpable through untill you fix the problem.
Also take advantage of the xda google tool (top brown ribbon tab named Search). You will find everything there.
Hi, thanks for replies. I have used prl from within rom i used that was made by ryam mogul and everything works on one phone but not second. I flashed back original verizon rom and I had same problem with NO SERVICE. Is maybe hardware different between these two phones. One was alltel and other (non working) is verizon. Is there anything is cdma workshop that I have not done or did do that was wrong. I super cid it per instructions and changed esn. It there option to disable voice service anywhere ? I can get wifi but no gps and voice and I get that weird icon. http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/3048/noservice.png
Update. I got signal when I flashed back to original Verizon Rom with original stock radio in it. It gets and works in EVDO mode. I will try to convert to MetroPcs Roma and see what happens.
