Root GPS won't lock

[gilly9751]

Have Evervolv version 2.3.4 with associated google apps loaded. Trying to run Google Maps in Navigate mode and GPS won't lock. Any suggestions on how to fix? Mapquest works just fine, but prefer Maps.

When will version 2.3.5 be available for the EVO 4G?

Probably need to do the GPS fix.

Nandroid, flash a sense rom and dial this:
##GPSCLRX#
then restore back to your current rom.

Maybe try that.

ah, and don't forget the MSL. there is a free app in market called Msl reader. It will give you the msl you will need to enter as well.

YES! Don't forget that. The app is the easiest way, but I think it's also found on the inside of your phone.

Is this an AOSP rom? I thought Evervolv had only sense roms, but if it's AOSP, don't bother with the GPSCLR or anything like that. All you need to do is flash this driver in recovery.

Your GPS will lock as good or better than it ever did on Sense.

EDIT: I was thinking Evolved. I see that evervolved is AOSP. So yeah, just flash that Qualcomm 1.1 driver in recovery and your GPS will be rock solid.

Hey, MizzouBrent, have you tried that gps driver? Does it last after a flash? I can't seem to find anything specific on it in that thread...

Thanks.

i think that you have to re-flash it if you move on to another rom. it does not stick after wiping.

Cool cool cool. Thanks a bunch amigo.

That is correct! Even a nightly update requires a reflash as far as I know.
