Re: GPS Still Not Working
 
Must have spent over 24 hours trying different roms and solutions out there. I took the phone into the store, will be getting a replacement soon.

Edit: I spoke with HTC and Sprint.
Conclusion: Sprint Customer Service- Clueless.
HTC Customer Service- Not Helpful.

The GPS on the mogul ROCKED... I'd never thought that I'd miss my mogul.

I miss my Mogul too but not for the GPS. I get 5 second locks and average around 10 to 11 satellites on my Alltel Touch Pro. And that's on any rom I flash and with no GPS tweaks. Sad to hear some of you are having such bad luck with your GPS.

Mine has never caused any problems either. In Googlemaps, from the second the program is loaded, I have a full 9+ sats locked in under 5 seconds. This is sitting on my couch, 2 small windows in the room that are always covered.

But my phone is about 2 weeks old. maybe that have fixed something in these newer phones. I am now running mightyrom 4.16 and it works fine too.

Here is my Sprint TP reading five seconds after I opened the HTC GPS Tool inside my house:

This is a Sprint phone running Mighty 4.16 activated on Verizon service.

I did no GPS tweaks of any kind & this phone is 4 months old.

I did a forum search for "Ilbored's gps fix" as well as "ilbored" and i didnt find this app. Can you please direct me to it? im using verizon and i wasnt getting any satellite signals on my gps earlier. I now know what it may be.
