Here is the situation:
I have the aforementioned phone, bloatware not installed. A couple of days ago I tried using Live Search's GPS function and could not get a lock. AFter that, I had radio issues - icon would switch from E to G to H then show no signal. Spent a majority of the time in the no signal mode. Soft reset, restore using sprite backup, even a hard reset didn't clear it up. Resorted to re-flashing the stock ROM, which cleared the problem. Every time I try using anything that turns GPS on (HTC GPS Tool, TT7, Live Search) I end up with the same problem, only resolved by re-flashing the ROM. And, of course, calling AT&T and asking their "tech support" anything that is actually technical makes their little brains overheat. Seems that they have no idea about doing anything with the GPS other than running TeleNav.
I have not found any posts describing the same problem. I don't know if it is the radio version that is the culprit (1.65.21.18), or perhaps a faulty GPS chip, or what. Perhaps it is time (especially since the phone is no longer under warranty) to either find a cooked ROM (of which the selection is endless) or venture off and make my own (something I currently just don't have the time to learn).
And one other thing... while flshing the third time, the progress bar reached 13%, the phne went back into bootloader, and the SPL number changed. When I started flashing it was 3.56, and after the 13% glitch the SPL showed as 3.02... seemed odd...
Any insight into this is greatly appreciated.
If anyone has any insight into this, it would be greatly appreciated.
