HTC Desire HD :: Unable To Locate Satellite To Update Location
Nov 20, 2010
I was wondering if anybody had the same issue with GPS as I did. When I launched Locations first time, it found the satelite very fast. Now it almost cannot find a satelite to update my location. I wrote almost, because once it did manage, but that was once in at least twenty tries. Do you have any idea how to check if the radio is ok. I read somewhere that one should try with master reset of the phone. If so, would it be enough to backup my data with Titanium backup and option "Backup all users apps + system data" and restore it later on? Will that make a full restore of my phone or do I have to backup some additoial data? Like, what will happend to my personalize data, apps passwords etc.

Just upgraded my phone firmware to 1.6, and it looks like Location objects don't have satellite counts in them any more:
locMan = (LocationManager)con.getSystemService (Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); Location loc = locMan.getLastKnownLocation (LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); Bundle extraBundle = loc.getExtras();
extraBundle is null. So, I can't call
extraBundle.getInt("satellites").

I have an activity that needs to display an alert to user when location is updated,
but i need first to get current location (update last known location) and then start a location update listener to display alert in this activity.
Basically what i need is to display an alert if location changed from time activity was created.
If i use getLastKnownLocation when activity is created, it might be outdated, then the requestLocationUpdate listener is called a few seconds from activity creation time.
How can i do this?

My wife and I have both started using the Motorola Droid and was wondering if there is an application that would allow us to use the GPS feature of the Droid to locate eachother on a map.

Is there a way to determine location via CellID on a CDMA network? I can get a network ID, base station ID, and system ID programatically, but is there an api somewhere to convert these to lat, long coordinates? The CdmaCellLocation.getBaseStationLatitude() and CdmaCellLocation.getBaseStationLongitude() methods return some junk number. Can I convert the cdma dating I'm getting to CID and LAC somehow?
I'm getting a system ID of 40, a network ID of 3, and a base station ID of 4672, and that appears to be exactly worthless.

So everyone hates the Sprint Navigation because it constantly runs and drains your battery... agreed... but I don't really feel like rooting my phone if I don't have to so here's the dilemma and question.
Dilemma: Sprint GPS seems to be the default GPS to for the web broswer to use. Because of this an app like Zombie Run's Multiplayer, cannot communicate with GPS satellite's it's set up for because the phone is connecting with Telenav (hypothesis, but Verizon phones locate gps and sprint does not)
"Aboutebug" in a web browser only gives the option to use gps or not.
Is there anyway to select which GPS program you want the web browser (or phone in general) to use?

I've had this issue with Nexus 7 rooted stock ROM 4.1.2 and 4.2 using TWRP 2.3.2.1.
Earlier I had gotten a TWRP version to save to a USB-OTG but then I had some problems with root and I re-rooted the device. Then I got error message trying to use TWRP. I upgraded to 4.2 and problem persisted.
Running stock ROM 4.2 on rooted Nexus 7.
Backup Complete
Failed
Backup Folder /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/hash and date
E:Unable to locate android secure partition
Using Ghost Commander, I go to /data but the folder does not open. I can go to /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/hash/hash/date and that folder does open, but it is empty.

After a recent trip away I have come back and the HTC clock widget does not update to the current location... it is stuck on 'United Kingdom' instead of my current location...
As a test I went for a drive today and whist 'Latitude' showed where I was, the google home page still showed the wrong location, and HTC widget still showed just 'United Kingdom'...
This has just got me stumped..

I found out that I can not use the update function on my phone to download software updates for froyo.The update downloads fine, and the installation starts fine.But after the phone restarts it will only process about 20% of the installation, and then start up without finishing the update.I can repeat that cycle for ever, but no update.Any idea how I can fix this without factory reset?

I believe that the app for youtube has been updated and is now version 2.0.26, but on my desire its 1.6. My question is that why doesnt the original app update to the new one, and as my desire is not rooted why should i be forced in to having 2 of the same apps as i cant remove the stock one. Seems like someone is having a laugh. Please no replies about having to root the phone, i shouldnt have to root the phone to get the latest version.

I seem to be having an issue with apps on my phone. Basically, over the past few days, I cant update apps from the marketplace at all. The market comes up tellling me there are new updates, when I go to download and install them, they all download fine, and then start installing, and then all of a sudden, it tells me installation was unsuccessful and nothing happens anymore. Its doing this for all apps I try to download from the market. Help would be much appreciated. Btw, I've got my phone set to install apps to mem card as default using the force apps to sd work around thing that was posted on the board.

I'm developing a mapping app using Eclipse 3.5.I'm setting the minimum update period with the LocationManager's requestLocationUpdates method, via a configuration activity. When I set the property I see in Logcat that the system process sets the value OK.When I actually send a new location from the DDMS emulator control and the location changes on the map view, I see that the system process then sets the minimum time to zero.Below is a capture of the system's log messages. You can see that I'm setting the period to 32 seconds, then 16, then, after I've sent a simulated location change the system sets it to zero.The map responds to location changes to location changes instantly even if they are sent only a couple of seconds apart.

I am having problems with the quick search feature. I did a random search for Mcdonalds and a map pulls up that is no where around me. I clicked update location but it says my location is unavailable. I have GPS enabled and my navigation app works just fine.

It seems the long running problem with the weather widget on the desire has managed to pass on to the HD.
HTC Weather Widget broken?
Mine worked for a day and now I get the location but no weather update.
All other locations display all info fine.
Im in Australia on Vodafone - although from the previous mentioned thread seems to be software related rather than carrier location

How could I fix the location which appears on the clock on the home screen and serves as weather forecast location? I am not living near a big city listed on the weather location list and when at home, the current location usually is indicated some dozen miles away from my home. This could be a cosmetic problem, but in the Alps (where I am living) weather a short distance away can be quite different from where you are.
Besides that, it would be nice to know the weather at home while beeing abroad.

I've been trying to update my phone now for nearly two weeks, trying various options, yet nothing I do helps in any way.I started off just running the update from SEUS with my phone as i've been using it.the updater started, gets about 70% through "Preparing" and pops up an error "Unable to install or start software update components." Closing which pops up "try again" or come to this site.I then tried uninstalling all installed components, same result as above.I then tried a Master Reset to factory setting, same result as above.I then disable the Firewall and the Anti-Virus, same result as above.Basically, i'm at the end of my tether, this should not be this difficult, I should not have to jump through this amount of hoops.If there was a way to legitimately root the phone (keeping warranty), I could already have Froyo installed, instead of this irritating mess thats causing me nothing but headaches.

Has anyone else had this problem, my desire thinks my location is Stockholm, Sweden, when in reality i'm in Herfordshire in the UK!! Getting my location on google maps using mobile networks only puts me in Stockholm, and so nothing location based works. Very frustrating.GPS eventually gets me back on track, but I dont' keep this on all the time.
