If possible flash back to Stock ROM and see if GPS issue is still there or not, if issue is still there you’ll know it is hardware related and save a lot of time.

The issue you are seeing (there are many posts about this GPS problem) the phone requires QuickGPS to start the GPS first (like warming up the chip or something) in order for GPS to work.

Have you updated your radio lately? (Works for some):

If that does not work there is a longer process that has work for some:

Hope these ideas help, spend days trying, installing Cabs, changing registries, reading posts, Hard resets, only to find out it was hardware related. If these suggestions do not help, a quick search will bring up many, many threads on GPS issues. Good Luck!
Thanks for the reply. I've using the radio 1.12.34F for almost half year which I think is the most updated version. And prior to using this ROM, I used stock, juicy, mighty and GadgetROM, never seem to have such problem. Sometimes I did see longer process to lock satellite in those roms, but never occurred to me as "could not lock any for 10-15mins".
