I just loaded Energy 28008 ROM and Tower Lock works in both 3.2.1 and 3.3. But the earlier post about 3.2.1 being better than 3.3 is 100%. But they both should get a tower position if things are setup right.
I can tell you it's not a Provisioning problem because I used Calkulin's/JMZ's Sprint provision on Energy ROM and all is working good (including tower lock).

It takes several minutes to get a GPS lock and get your location. If you are using tower location, it usually already has your location by the time the app opens.

AFLT (advanced forward link trilateration) aka cell tower ID, uses virtually no battery life and is safe to leave on in the background.
Using Google's Latitude service, you can constantly see where you friends are, roughly speaking (usually within a half mile). So you leave this on all the time and friends/family can see you on the map and vice-versa if they have it enabled.
It also grabs your location indoors, unlike GPS.

stupid question but the updated google maps actually shows 3.3 when you click on help then about correct. I downloaded the cab from the ppcgeeks news page and when i install it, it still says 3.2.1. The only reason i'm asking is because now i want the tower lock and its not working with my 28005 titanium only rom.
