Just tested ckpv5's myonedx+ (jellybean) and localization via mobile phone network doesnt work at all. for example, when using google maps/earth or various weather apps. as said in the title, i dont mean gps, im talking about localization via mobile radio cells.
i wonder if this is a general problem on htc's jellybean, is anyone else experiencing the same??
never had this problem on ics. if this really is ANOTHER bug (well, at least i havent heard of it yet anywhere else), then SHAME ON YOU, HTC.
Thanks in advance for reporting back :silly:
It seems fine for me ...
No GPS, no WIFI, only Mobile Network
okay, i flashed your jb rc1 again and localization works just fine now.
no idea what went wrong the last time

I think after I have installed a 2.1 android rom (I guess it was Kagudroid's) and switched back to MCR3.2b5 (with wiping of course) location determination via gsm cells broke down. I.e. Google Maps and all other apps are unable to determine my location based on only the gsm network (not wifi / gps).
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Wiping one time or another doesn't help me to fix this issue.
I know even put back up the original 2.73.405.5 rom via the RUU. So I would think that everything would work again, since everything is original again. No luck.
Could this mean a hardware failure?
don't think so, unless you don't have any signal at all?
have you tried upgrading to / reflashing the latest radio?
Yep, tried that as well. Doesn't help me. This really annoyes me.
never had this happen sounds a strange one. on your so list is network location app installed?
none of the 2.1 ROMs have the cell location working properly.
Have you done a wipe since you came back from 2.1? If not, there may still be some bits from the 2.1 hanging around somewhere.
As mentioned in my topicstart I did do a wipe. However I have already determined the cause of the problem. It is the provider. Checked that with an other SIM. Furthermore I have come to the conclusion that changing to 2G mode also resolves the problem although I definitely don't want such slow internet (plus changing to 2g is not possible on mcr3.2). I'm gonna contact the provider to see what they can do. Likely that they're having problems with the gsm antenna coordinates after all... Thanks all...!
This is a weird, weird problem I can't seem to find anywhere else apart from the MoDaCo forums, which is funny because the problem started after I flashed MCR 3.2, but all the fixes in that thread aren't working for me.
Basically, since flashing MCR 3.2, I no longer get a 3G/'H' data icon in the notification bar AT ALL. In the phone status information it says I am connected to Orange 3G, but it doesn't work - using the browser it says 'no mobile connection found'. WiFi works fine. At first I thought I could just reflash another ROM/the radio again (I'm using the latest one) but nope, 3G appears to be dead. I've tried 4 different ROMs covering everything from 1.5 to 2.1 Legend dumps to no avail.
I've never had a problem like this before... anyone know of any possible fixes I could try?
Cheers.
P.S. I'm using a GSM HTC Hero on Orange.
hold power button down, check if mobile network is activated.
the 3g/h icons become active when you have an active data session. so it is possible that your are attached to a 3g network, but don't see it because you are not data attached, only voice.
have you tried villainrom 3.4? fixes it for me worth a try
I sincerely love the 2.1, and i really appreciate the work and effort the dev´s are putting into the rom´s that are available free of charge.
But i cant find a rom that has working GPS on/off feature, everyone i tryed so far requires phone reboot..
so i wonder, why is it so hard to enable GPS without reboot?
and are there rom´s that have working GPS?
i tryed to raise the issue in some of the rom specific forums, but it appears to be a less prioritized bug..
For me I found that re-flashing the latest radio rom after installing 2.1 got GPS working as it should do.
apart from what klutsh said (which i can't reproduce btw), there is only one kernel available that works with the 2.1 leaks, and that kernel has a bad gps implementation.
androbin beta r2
with androbin beta r2 i use gps and work very good, without problem.
fix is quick, stability ok.
last week i try it with ndrive, cca 160km trip, without problem.
Yip I can confirm Switch on your gps, and wifi (just for the hell of it, not too sure about this part) reboot into recovery, flash the latest radio, reboot and all should be well.
I can confirm the opposite; switching on GPS, wifi and bluetooth, flashed new radio and booted up the phone.
turned off gps and rebooted, then enabled gps again (without restart).
still no gps reception.
using villain3.4 atm, but this has been persistant thruout all tested 2.1 roms.
None of the Villain Roms worked ever with GPS for me, but BeHero+ V1.2 is the first 2.1 ROM where it always does, and it even to a very fast GPS fix!
im trying androbin atm, havent yet gone outside (still downloading my apps over wifi), so i cant say if it works or not.
but i really think the devs should pool their resources/projects instead of releasing 15+ similar roms
I've never had a problem with GPS - used Navigator to get me home with voice navigation the other day (i knew the route but still) it was awesome
I would also like to know the definitive answer. All ROM's released are with working hardware lists including of GPS and no mention of prossibility of bugs but going through the replies, it seems like mixed reactions.
1) ON/OFF reboot bug?
2) Sleep mode bug with any Radio?
3) As quick fix as in 1.5?
4) Not inconsistent ie fixed once but struggle next time?
Kendong2's reply seems to suggest NO. Is it ?
Hi All.
Provider: "3" Austria
ROM: Omega V32 & Android Revolution HD 9.0.0 (or earlier)
When the Phone is lost the Network connection (elevator, no coverage,...), it reconnects, everything seems to be fine, it shows also 3G or H+ data connection, but that's not true, what's displayed on screen, phone calls are possible, but there is no data connection available.
Restarting the phone and everything is fine. Switching off( on FlightMode or data won't help.
Now I installed just for testing CM10 nighly and it work's fine, no problems!! BTW, it worked also fine with Omega ICS Versions!
I like Omega or Revolution muc more then CM10, cause I like TouchWiz. Do you have any ideas, how to fix this? Maybe a different kernel?
THANKS for your help

u could try a different modem
Thanks für the hint... it's hard to find a summary of relating Modem's or Kernels to trie.
I did a full wipe now and installed everything from scratch, also using the latest Omega V26 Rom. It's a bit better now. The difference is, if it's loosing 3G, connecting to GSM it hardly reconnects to 3G, and if it's done, no most of the time HSDPA is not shown. It's not really reproducable, cause it depends on the location. Switch off / on data solves the problem.
I read somewhere here, that I'm not the only one with problems related the Austrian Provider "3". Anyone else here?
Maybe someone here has a list of Kernels and Modems to use or a link, where to find. I used Search but toooo many results for me to find the correct on.
Thanks

Hey everybody
I hope I can get some help from you guys.. I got this issue that I started to get into the running and started to need more of my gps to track my training and Ive noticed this weird behaviour of my gps.. It just wont even search for satellites whenever the 3g is on (you know the alert that says searching for gps).. installed the GPS checker to see if there was no satellites or something but it wont even search for them whenever I have the 3g on.. I found that the GPS works only if I disable the Mobile Data and restart my phone.. So I cant have both at the same time.. the minute I enable the 3g data it stops working and I have all the GPS options checked at the configuration and the wifi 3g assist.. What could be causing this?
Please let me know if some of you guys have some issue like this.. I have JellyBam 9.0.0 cyanogen mod based 10.1 and baseband XXXKI4

If you don't have this issue with a stock ROM, its probably a bug in the Jellybam ROM. Have you done a clean install? Since Jellybam has been banned from XDA, you probably won't get support for that ROM here. Maybe you should try contacting the dev of the ROM on their forum.

I tried the Omega stock V24 and had the exact same issue..
There's a number of GPS 'fixes' on here, I suggest you search for the threads containing those fixes & try some of them.
Hi!
I just want to share my workaround having same problem as this. After configuring my gps.conf as i've posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713&page=77, all went smoothly and fast GPS lock for just about 5 - 15 sec, even on a cloudy or rainy day. Then last Tuesday morning, as soon as the mobile data got connected it cuts the GPS. In short, GPS & mobile data won't run simultaneously. I ran a series of reboot, shutdown, clean up... then as much as i don't want to, i ended up reflashing/reinstalling everything but to no avail! Now, since everything is fresh w/ my S2, but still had same problem. I now zeroed in the problem to how my mobile data connects. I didn't think of this before because everything works perfectly fine. Anyway, this time i changed the Network mode from "WCDMA only" to "GSM only". Finally! it works! problem solved.
So far as of this writing, both the GPS & mobile data connection are working simulteously. Only drawback are: (1) I can't browse the net using the "GSM only" mode because of the bandwidth limitation, but works ok w/ Waze app. (2) If i switched & connected to mobile data using "WCDMA only" mode, i need to switch again to "GSM only" mode & restart the phone in order for the GPS to works again.
I don't know, but i'm thinking if our telco here has something to do why I had this problem. Maybe they change some configuration... I dunno.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. Searching forum and the internet without results.
Last week I spent a lot of time with my SGS2. The problem occurs when gps and mobile internet data are used at the same time, but only when the phone use 3G or H+ standard.
When mobile data are transmitted on E/2G there is no problem at all. The issue with gps is that when I drive car and I'm in one location at the city (every day at the same place) the gps icon disappeared and no navigation at all. This is quite big square around 2x2 km. After I leave the area I have to turn off and on the phone and everything works ok, even when mobile data 3G/H+ are transmitted.
So described problem occurs only at the specific area. I don't know what cause the issue. After next researching I discovered, that gps disapeared ONLY WHEN THE PHONE USES UMTS 2100 MHz. In the service menu I mark only UMTS 900 MHz and the gps works very good. This time mobile data 3G/H+ are used simultaneusly with gps and everything is ok.
So the problem is olny when we are connected to BTS at 2100 MHz and only at the specific area. It seems that some kind of 2100 MHz signal intereferences wiht gps circuit maybe. I'm not a proffesionalist, I only suppose that.
Maybe somebody will find the complete solution with that.
My problem is at the cetral of Poland. I tried a lot of firmwares, modem drivers, gps.conf modifications. Nothing. Zero results.

Hmmm... it seems our telco here has something to do w/ my concern. Today, simultaneously my S2's GPS & 3G/H+ are working perfectly fine. I didn't do any reconfiguration w/ my S2, i just tried to switch how my mobile data connects, from "GSM only" to "WCDMA only".
