the most bizarre GPS problem

[viceaction]

hey gianthobbit,

Just wanted to update you as to my situation. My GPS does work now, and my phone has stopped doing that odd resetting (atleast for the past day or so). The GPS fix isn't as strong as it was and sometimes Google Maps hangs for awhile trying to fix satellites but TT7 seems to be ok.

Have you re-flashed ?

[gianthobbit]

no, i have my phone excactly how I want it, finally after toying with it for 2 months and only want to flash if i really have too... was hoping someone had a possible fix or something

I am currently running SSK Rom 21109 that I cooked with SSK 1.5c2 and was having the same problem no matter what program I used to access the GPS my phone would soft reset. I made a backup of my phone with sprite backup 6.5 and then hard reset the phone, I had to reinstall !!bored's gps fix and then restored from my backup. I have been running TT7 and Google maps and Live Search maps through my phone for the last 2 days and haven't had a reset yet. If you can make a backup of your phone try giving it a hard reset and reinstalling the gps fix of bored's and see if this fixes your problem, it seems to have fixed mine.

In reference to your previous thread, your on stock rom? This is intresting, everyone that I have heard has had this problem has flashed there device, thats what I thought cased the problem... Its intermittent for me as well, yesterday for example google maps worked, sort of. Sometimes my location was no were near where I was, Id turn it on then off and it would work. Any time I tired to map directions though the phone would reset. I hope someone here has some answerrs for us.

Had the same problem. Ultimately had to return the device for a swap.

Symptoms:
1. Accessing the GPS will work for approx 5-10 seconds followed by a reset or lock-up.
2. GPS will never lock on to any satellites.

Solution:
1. Depending on the radio, downgrading to 1.03.15 should solve it.
2. If already on 1.03.15 then return unit for replacement.

how do you know what radio you have? I flashed to Juggalo ROM from stock sprint rom.

Interesting. I had upgraded my radio to 1.11. Got a little better reception but had horrible battery issues and my GPS freaked out as stated above. I downgraded to 1.03 and everything is normal again.
