I have HTC ONE MAX and I have problem with gps.[echo] it installs NAVIGON and it cannot find and lock the satellites, it writes me constantly waiting of signal GPS
got the same issue with any navigation software after updating to 4.4
contacted htc about it, telling me that it has to be a hardware issue and i should send it in.
as i do not believe it is hardware related, i was wondering if i could be able to roll back to 4.3?
I had that problem when I updated to sense 6 on my Sprint One Max. They also told me it was a hardware problem. When I went back to 5.5 it was fine.

How can I downgrade from 6.0 to sense 5.5? GPS is giving me a hard time on my sprint one max.
I've got the same problems opened a thread about location services not locking in and dropping out I have same problems with navigon. And my weather app either shows the weather for my location being United kingdom which is precise as f*** OR just the main city I live in its used to be very precise before giving specific town I was in. I upgraded to 4.4 and then sense 6 custom. I would rather roll back to a 4.3 Rom but haven't really seen any yet. Navigon was a bit better today I had location mode set to high accuracy but it did lose its way on an hour journey home about 3 or 4 times.

Got Sense 6 upgrade on August 19, and my GPS has been way off ever since. Any advice on how to downgrade from Sense 6.0 to Sense 5.5 so I can have accurate GPS back would be really helpful.
GPS Issues - Wonder if Lollipop will fix this?
I can not get a good GPS signal when trying to navigate. I do have Sense 6. How can I get Sense 5.5? I wonder if Lollipop will fix this?
Has anyone heard?
Possible solution?
Hopefully this helps someone. I have always had issues when switching back and forth from different ROMs with the navigation on this device. Never any other. First make sure before switching ROMs make sure that you have locations enabled in settings. Then after you have everything installed go into settings/display/gyroscope calibration and g sensor calibration. That worked for me. It would show me way off of my path, laggy, constantly changing my course especially at a stop light. The compass gets all fubarred. Weird as I had a HTC one, HTC DNA and never an issue.

when i had my evo 3d, there were 3 subsequent software updates that came out to fix bugs and optimize the sense experiance; however, htc hasnt released a software update yet to fix bugs... whats up with this, are they getting lax on customer support issues, i really dont want to root the smartphone, but im thinking i might have to... what rom really cleans the device up, any suggestions would be nice, considering, i didnt want to root, because the device is top notch, hardware wise, but maybe our devs are cleaning things up that i dont know about.. devs and bros... let me know what you think
For your issues with HTC I would just recommend that you contact support and tell them whatever you think needs fixed.
As far as custom roms meanrom is great.

We got spoiled with the Evo 3D and there being a software update on what, day one? I think we really need a software update for the E4GLTE already. The inconsistent signal is really starting to be annoying.
If they needed a software update for the EVO 3d on day one, there must have been some serious problems with it.. plus look at the support from HTC and Sprint now for the EVO 3d.

For what's worth (and I know this is a stupidly minor bug) I do hope an OTA comes to fix the "Productivity" lockscreen. If you have hyphenated phone numbers in your contacts list, and one of them texts you, the Productivity lockscreen shows their phone number instead of their name. The One-X has already been updated to fix this, among other things.
Again, I know it's small, but it's something. One can only hope they allow for the "Mail" widget on the Productivity lockscreen can at some point show GMail instead of main mail. That would be awesome.
I'm with ya, there needs to be an update to address some of the minor issues...
There are a few

No major bug?!?!?!
The wifi on this thing is a major bug! I'll use it on my home wifi network and leave, when I check my phone later far away from home it says it is still connected to my home wifi network, while the entire I'm not getting data because it doesn't connect to the mobile network.
When the 3D came out, HTC had a bug fix that very same day to correct quick apps disappearing from the lock screen. Even the original EVO 4G had a bug fix out within the first week to correct problems.
Samsung had a bug fix out the second week for the Galaxy S3 to correct problems.
HTC is losing it and if they keep this up those shrinking revenue numbers will keep coming.

I'm glad I'm not the only one having the issue of my wifi not disconnecting. My wifi also randomly drops while connected unless I have the "best wifi performance" box checked.
I think there are slight bugs with the new sense, but can be delt with. However, I do believe all "my" major issues (i.e. missed calls, missed sms when using stock or 3rd party sms apps) is a Sprint issue. Sprint's network here in Sacramento (Rancho Cordova), CA. obviously conflicts with the new LTE antena located in the EVOLTE.

bug with font sizes?
Has anyone seen the font sizes change randomly? Mostly happens in Messaging and Mail app. The mail app will sometimes have giant text, and sometimes medium sized text even tho I have the setting set to small. It also doesn't let me pinch to increase or decrease the size of the text... Its really annoying!

I have the same problem, but the pinch-to-resize works for my text.
Well if it's any consolidation we'll probably get an OTA by this weekend if not next. LTE is scheduled to go live on Sunday and there were talks and reports of there being LTE connection issues (the same as how the 3g connection constantly drops for no reason) and an OTA to correct the issue. Now there is also some wording on the Google Play Store under Google Wallet correlating that there will be an OTA in July that will restore Google Wallet functionality. Makes sense since the GSIII had an OTA about the same time as the 7/1 update and that fixed Google Wallet for them. So ours will probably be encompassing a decent amount of bug fixes if at least not those two.
Fix the Wi-Fi disconnects and the multi-tasking essentially keeping nothing running in the background, and I'm good.
A fix for bluetooth audio would be fantastic.
A fix for this stupid multi tasking would be REALLY appreciated.
Just returned from taking care of my bill at a corporate sprint store in Detroit Michigan area, and brought up concerns about issues since jb was released. Before I was able to tell my personal issues since the update the couple techs that were at the front door greeting/mingling with customers, told me they have been notified that a patch is being worked on for the Bluetooth, navigation, proximity sensor, wifi and various glitches others have been reporting. This was all said before I even mentioned those issues that myself and others on this forum have brought up. They've even been instructed to stop doing replacement handsets for people with the issues. So to me it sounds like the issues have been noticed/verified finally and HTC/sprint may be releasing something soon. Sounds legit considering the tech's themselves named off the issues and seemed to know a bit about the problems without me saying anything. Figured I'd pass on this tidbit of info and hopefully it becomes a reality.
Update 01/11 called HTC and they have a bulletin that's been sent out that proximity sensor was specifically being worked on (news for stock users at least)..the nav issue the guy said wasn't a for sure thing because it might be a google dropping the ball thing/capatability issue

I have to flash back to an ics rom then back to jelly bean while wiping as little as possible just to get mhl-hdmi adapter to work. And sometimes at that. Most of the time I have to reset the phone 3 times, unplug, plug in cable to phone. It just blows balls! I am about to just go back to ics and stay there. Jelly bean or at least this iteration of it sucks. Not to mention the worse battery life? Why are we excited about jb anyway? It looks good and sounds nice, but it is just like its abbreviation (jb) jailbait!
Does anyone else agree with me or are you all on the google strain of bud? Here's my list of issues over ics: Battery hog! Mhl-hdmi previously mentioned, New usb connection manager screwed my car audio. Have to update busybox everytime I reset just so root explorer displays remaining space in sd card.
I will quit my rant now though I guess. No one at sprint or htc or most the people here even give a rats **** about these issues because i obviously must be a noob who cant wipe and flash a rom properly or my phone has issues so I must be retarded or something. Tired of those attitudes on xda. But thats another topic. Good day to u all!
I updated to JB and I don't have any of the issues you are talking about. After hearing some of your experiences I think I will wait until a patch comes out to update my wife's phone.
I like JB on this phone. Google now is a welcome feature. Initially I experienced shorter battery life, but after adjusting the settings in Google Now I would say my battery life went back to normal or possibly even better than before.
The one thing I don't like about JB is the in scrolling background, but all the pluses more than make up for it.

I turned off any cards that would frequently update.
Ex. Traffic, weather and nearby places
I can't say for sure that these consume extra battery, but ever since adjusting the settings my battery has been performing well.
It's currently at 50% after 12h 36m off the charger with medium use.
I wish they would just fix this dam Proximity Sensor. I hate my calls hanging up when it touches my face and how it wont show the screen when I wish to hang up.
The CM10 proximity fix woked for me.
[MOD] [CM10] Proximity Sensor Fix
I tested using Proximity Sensor Finder before and after. Before nothing happened, after it went from 9 to 0 when covered.
I've seen all those issues the MeanBean Thread.
All 4.1 JB Devices Broke Bluetooth Voice Dial. As far I know only 4.2 fixes it.
I'd be really impressed if Sprint released 4.2 let alone any update.
I posted a [MOD] in the development section to get Cyberon to be the Default when you click the bluetooth button and it works great, better than it ever has and no longer relies on the Network. And I'm nolonger forced to keep my contacts in gmail. I prefer keep them only in my work's ExchangeMail account.
Nav has worked for me so far but I have not used it too heavily.
As far as Bluetooth Reliability during a Call JB is MUCH better. ICS would drop bluetooth headset as I passed WIFI HotSpots.
WIFI has been an issue on this device since day 1. JB release doesn't seem much better or worse, but it does seem different, but usable for me. I've had it get stuck once and would not let go of WIFI as I drove away, which jams the whole phone up until you shut WIFI off.
The Proximity Sensor seems to be a calibration issue. My guess is the OTA update might have accindentally wiped each devices calibration or something. You can recalibrate it. The default cal works for people. I have not had the issue or it's not a big enough issue for me to care.
Well I can verify after getting a couple refurbs because of the jb updates/roms having nav crashes (first refurb to replace my new launch date phone being a launch date activated one with nav crashes and faulty strip in touchscreen), I finally have one that the navigation works flawlessly on so far with several jb Roms I tried....the refurb date on this phone was in December with no usage/data etc....and I was the first to activate the phone (maybe damaged casing on phone etc and never was sold)...so the pattern of newer built elte's seems to be a pattern...at least for me...it was a battle to get a working phone but paid off in the end...

What rom are you on? Have you tried disabling all location services except gps to see if that works? You could also try the ##GPSCLRX# code in the dialer (use mls reader to find your mls), or download gps status from the play store and clear/download agps data.

Stock with Goodies 2.08. Never has been a problem until today. I have recently upgraded to the latest firmware and radios, but had to downgrade in order to run this particular ROM, which I can't part with. I will try these things you mention.
Still experiencing this issue.
I have since upgraded to the latest firmware.
Any suggestions on trouble shooting for what is causing this or possible tests, fixes, anything!? :silly:
Edit: After using the apps mentioned above, the issue is still present and I notice no fix whatsoever.
Any ideas of that the values are supposed to be? That way I can troubleshoot if I have an issue.
Where are you when you are trying to pick up the GPS signal? A lot of factors play into getting a good GPS signal. How's the weather? Do you have cloud cover or is it clear? Are you inside or outside, near a window?
You can try an app called GPS test to check out your GPS signal. It will give you an indication of how well (or bad) of a signal you are picking up.
Here are two screenshots using my phone. The first is inside about 10 ft away from any windows. The second is about 3 ft from the window. You can see the difference it makes the further you go into a building.

Yeah sometimes when I don't get a lock I'll open GPS test and that will lock. Once it does i'm fine going back to maps.
I've never had a problem getting a gps lock on sense or aosp. Some phones just have a hard time with it. I don't know why.

I'm thinking you should be pulling in a better signal if you were outside on a clear day. I believe you should be pulling in 10 ft or better accuracy on a clear day.
Have you tried removing the rear cover and checking the connections to the cover? If this doesn't help, you may have a defective unit.

Have a retired HTC Thunderbolt (S_OFF, Rooted, Liquid smooth ICE Rom) I upgraded to a HTC DNA a week ago. I would like to use the thunderbolt with GPS and Wifi to play Ingress on. The Issue how ever is that after the phone lost its cellular service I cannot get a GPS lock left it on for 4 hours using GPS toolbox waiting for a lock that never happened anyone got any ideas on how to get the GPS to lock with out the aGPS cell service?
I haven't experienced this problem specifically since mine is still in service, but I'm sure someone else more informed will know. I would check and make sure all of the contacts on the back of the case are clean and flush with the phone. Yesterday I had a similar problem and it was because I hadn't snapped the case all the way back on.
In the next few days I should be making a new CM9 build with a kernel that does not have a working radio, but does fix other issues. I'm thinking it will be useful for those in your situation who like AOSP, but don't have a need for the radio any longer. I'll try to remember to let you know when that happens.

I just built a fresh CM9 with the non-working radio and tested it. The GPS works without cell service and I was able to get 10 satellites according to GPS Status. The build worked fine as long as I had it installed, but I can't guarantee anything long-term. Worst case you can try the normal CM9 build since the GPS is the same on both of them.
Will ask the obvious did you go under GPS settings and make sure the standalone GPS was checked? If it is then I would say the issue is with that ROM. It sounds like only the verizon gps option is checked as thay uses cell tower triangulation to get a location fix. I never had an issue using GPS on a deactivated phone.

You must have something screwed up, GPS and cellular service have nothing to do with each other. Might want to consider flashing a new rom or something just so you are guaranteed to be using one that fully works with gps 100%
Try to pry up on the little golden tabs under your battery cover. Those are the antenna for the GPS and if they don't make good contact to the battery cover then you won't get a GPS lock. Be very very careful not to break the little tabs.

I have been thinking that radio performance after the latest kitkat update does not seem to be as good as the previous version.
i seem to notice that the phone takes little longer to switch to 4G/LTE signal compared to the previous version. I have not tested if the phone has problems maintaining the 4G signal, does anyone else notice this or any other sort of radio issues?
About a month ago i was sitting with my friend with his original HTC one and noticed the same behavior and i think that has now replicated to the MAX too
its annoying to find the signal stuck at 3G and the internet speeds are terribly low in 3G when compared to 4G.
anyone ...
I'm on Verizon in the US so I don't have 4.4 KitKat yet, but what you are describing sounds a lot like what I've been experiencing for a couple months. I was hoping that the KitKat update for Verizon would contain newer radios that performed better, but it's interesting that you're also having radio issues with the One max.
Could dropping the phone result in this sort of behavior? That's all I can really think of, as most other users don't seem to have too much trouble with the radios on this device.
phone is just as awesome as it was before the update.
