HTC Desire & GPS

Post by lucy08
Hi there
My HTC Desire - Android 2.2 can't find GPS Signal.
I'm wondering if someone else using the same phone without this problem?

Yep, no problems here. What error are you getting? Have you enabled Satellites in the settings?

From the homescreen press Menu -> Settings then Location. What options do you have ticked in there? Google Maps will use the network location to give you an estimate. Waze requires the stronger and more accurate GPS function to locate!

Waze behave very strangely in connection with gps signal. Sometimes it get's directly gps signal and sometimes never, or only after 20 minutes.

Useless for HTC Desire

I tried reinstalling WAZE but still getting error message "...could not locate start point." (Google Map's GPS working fine)

Any Suggestions would be appreciated.
