I have a problem with GPS on my Hero.
GPS has a fix within 20 seconds and all seems to be fine.
After some time my navigation software stops and tells me it lost GPS.
In the taskbar GPS is still fixed.
i tried already lots of things:
- Different radios
- Complete wipe (including format sdcard)
- Different roms (2.1, 2.2 and 2.3)
- Different navigation software (Igo, Navigon and Google maps)
- bluetooth on/off
- data on/off
- wifi on/off
For now I am out of options.
I hope that someone can help me with this problem.
Q GPS problem
Hi to all.
I purchase a gizmondo for uk, and the seller said to me that gps system will not work outside uk.
So, using the correct gps software and maps, can the gizmondo gps work fine also in italy but in general everyware?
Thanks,
Marco.

Hey guys,
Im running stock ROM: 2.73.405.5
Radio : 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
My device has recovery and root.
And GPS does not seem to work, I have tried with Google maps and Waze.
Waze gets my location for a sec (as it resets the map to my real location), I have disabled the use of wireless networks to find out the location so I guess GPS must be working if it can see where I am for a second but after that it says it's looking for GPS satellites and it never finds any no matter where I am.
As far as I recall I have never been able to get a satellite.
Will a radio upgrade help me?
Has anyone ever experience such problems and found a solution?
Are there any changes to settings I need to apply except enabling location services ?

have you sat still for a good 5-10 mins with a clear view of the sky?> and does ur internet work fine on the phone?
hero can locate you either with the phone's network service or GPS, the first one locate you in no time but can't get an acurate coordinate. On the contary, GPS takes longer time but get a better fix (Take a few minutes).
Go to "setting" - "position"(not sure for my not using english as my default language) check both box to active GPS and network locating function.
The issue I wish to solve is GPS apps telling me that there is no GPS signal available
However GPS Status is still able to display some good data
When I still had my TP2 this issue was instantly solved with GPS Mod Driver
My attempts to locate a sister app to this for Android (HTC Sensation) have fallen short
Any suggestions?

Is GPS taking a long time to locate with AccuWeather only or in other apps as well. For example, is it working well in Google Maps?
You could also try to use a GPS Test app (AndroiTS GPS Test Free from Play Store) to check if your phone is "seeing" any satellites or not.

it does also in google maps and the others. i tried that app and it is seeing satellites. where could be the problem, do you have idea?
and does anybody know anything how to fix the radio,please?
thank you
How many sattelites are visible as per the GPS test app?
Could you please try the following:
1. In Settings > Location Access, disable and re-enable "Wi-Fi & mobile network location"
And check if GPS works (ideally using the GPS test tools).
2. If the previous solution didn't work, then
In Settings > Location Access, disable "Wi-Fi & mobile network location"
And check if GPS works (ideally using the GPS test tools). (The second problem I had faced with CyanogenMod based custom ROMs in 4.2.2)
Note: The first time you connect to GPS it could take a long time (long as in 20 seconds to a couple of minutes). And if possible, try to test it from a place with clear visibility of the sky (at least the first time).
Hi mates. I've reinstalled my firmware to new one. And my google maps, or any other non-offline maps stop to work thru 3g (EDGE doesn't matter). Only works if Wi-Fi connected. I've moved to old one version of firmware - where everything worked fine (1.59 russian translation). But... Nothing work.
I've found some interesting thing - if I turn off GPS, it gets the traffic jam info, routes and etc. If I turn back - nothing work. But when I go wifi - everything ok.
Can you please help me in solving of this issue, because phone w/o maps is nothing?
Many thanks.
ok, map works with second sim card, but doesn't work on first.
Hello,
I own a THL 5000 (chinese manufacturer).
Because the stock ROM didn't work (reboots in standby mode) there's a ROM installed, the phone is rooted properly. Unfortunately, the only thing that doesn't work is my GPS. I tried many guides (and also a lot of apps), but the one that worked best (Mobileuncle) gave me a GPS signal that was so weak I couldn't even dream of getting my position right.
Google maps only knows which town I'm at (probably because of my WiFi). Anything I can do there?
Thanks for helping.
EPO Updater
This is the best solution that i know of for this issue:
