I have tmobile/8900 and am having problems with my gps. At first my gps worked, sporadically at that, on build 4.6.1.114.

Then I upgraded, to the various OS versions since: 4.6.1.168, 4.6.1.199, 4.6.1.206 and none of these versions get my gps to work

I always get the long and lat showing up as 0 and it never connects to a satellite. i've tried turning location aiding as enabled / disabled and refreshing the gps. nothing. i tried refreshing the gps outside in the open. nothing. i tried going back to 4.6.1.114 and that didn't work. i'm totally stumped.

any help is greatly appreciated. thanks!

I would probably say go back to your old os
and wait till there is a official os for your device that will allow the gps to work

sorry this is an issue for you

version 4.6.1.114 was the official tmobile version. the one gps worked on. when i went back to it, the gps didn't work anymore! ugh.

Try posting this question in the 8900 forum.

I know I'll get chastised but the gps radio is a piece of hardware on the main board and could very well damaged. But I'm just bored and offering bogus advice like the other dips on the Internets.

I'll merge the two threads for you. Duplicate posts aren't allowed. Sorry I don't have an answer to your problem.

When your refreshing your GPS, are you doing it indoors with low reception or in an open area?

I use .206 and noticed my GPS picked up real quick. Try doing it outside and see if there's a difference.
