Help My Location problem

[winter20]

Hi,

First of all, I'm sorry if this problem is already here, but I couldn't seem to find it so here I go.

I'm having issues with my HTC Desire HD detecting his location. I tried to locate it via HTC Sense and it says that my phone is in another location (maybe 20 km distance from where it actually is). I also tried to simply locate my phone through Locations and it shows the same location, so I don't think it's from HTC Sense, it's from my phone.

Any ideas what can I do in order to make it show the correct location? Thanks in advance!

It works for any aGPS equipped device. I use it on my Droid when it has problems getting a GPS fix.

I'm having issues with my HTC Desire HD detecting his location. I tried to locate it via HTC Sense and it says that my phone is in another location (maybe 20 km distance from where it actually is).

If you're not getting GPS accuracy (down to ~3m) then you're not using GPS. Try using GPS Status to clear your aGPS data as suggested above and see if your GPS receiver is then able to obtain a fix. You can use GPS Status to determine if the receiver is able to get a fix.

there's a thing that says Fix/Sats 1/1, so I guess I have a gps fix, but the correct location of my cellphone is still wrong. Any other suggestions?
