[Q] GPS Problems

[Mathias1]

I'm having some troubles with my GPS on my HTC Sensation.
Sometimes it locks on to me, but around 80km (close to Sveg, Sweden) from my actual location.

Sometimes it doesn't lock on at all and one time, I was using RunKeeper and it was jittering all over the map.

The faulty location (as stated earlier) happened one time before and it was the exact same spot as the first time (close to Sveg).

So, is this a hardware or software related issue? (this is with aGPS turned off, to test the GPS signal)

I've never had any problems before (the phone is approx. 1 year old)

try this soluiton (method 2)
it fixed my gps problem...which is similar to yours
GPS FIX GUIDE

the method 2 in the guide might mess up your splash screen...so just splash the HTC original splash screen or any other after trying the fix

first check your gps problem is resolved or not...
then we can look for splash screen

EDIT:
get any splash screen.img from this thread
to flash a splash screen
"fastboot flash splash1 splash.img"

EDIT2:
if you are lazy to search for original splash screen
here it is

I think your solution worked! Will test a little more extensively...It takes a while to lock on...Any setting somewhere I can change?

There is a way to say thanks in xda
Anyways that's the most effective solution... There are couple of gps fixing apps.. Try them
