You guys that are still having GPS problems should make sure you state that you have plenty of internal memory space available.
Otherwise if you don't, then you'll just be going in circles trying different things and it will always be hit or miss on your locks. I might aim for about 14mb's free memory for good measure. The only thing I ever needed to do was run the ppst.exe, and sometimes reboot...but that might have been due to just needing to clear memory. Once cleared it takes a few minutes (sometimes) to get the first gps lock but afterwards it should lock considerably faster due to the fact that it now has a relative position of satelites.
Do you know which ppst.exe you run? Over the past few months I have seen at least 4 variations.

Also, do you run it after each HARD reset, no matter what ROM you are using? --or did you just run it once?

I haven't run it in months, because most ROMs work fine out of the box.
