That seems very odd.
You should not need your SIM card in the phone to have any of those things you describe work.
Did you happen to reboot the phone after inserting the SIM and Prior to pulling it out?
That might have fixed your issue also.
Try this suggestion.
Go into your phone dial pad screen, then choose Menu and Options. Next choose the Network TAB and chanbe your Mode of Operation to CDMA only. Putting the phone in CDMA only will not hurt anything while your in the US, but will not allow the phone to work outside the US in GSM coverage areas.
Turn your phone off and then put your SIM card in the phone and power it back on. See if you have the same issues.

When I got my TP2, the salesman took the simcard out and said I would not need it since I am in a CDMA area and not going out of the country. I thought "OK, thats fine" and left it in the box. The other day, I decided to put the simcard back in the phone and things like my push mail (gmail via activesync), browser (opera), QuickGPS, weather updates via HTC weather tab, and MyPhone would not connect and do what they are supposed to do. I also had difficulty getting GPS locks for google and bing. I decided to remove the simcard and soft reset and everything works fine again.
So, if you have your simcard in and don't need it, would removing it possibly fix your problems like I had above? Give it a try and see what happens.
Is the simcard required if I am staying in the country and should I leave it out or in?
Heres where it pertains to mightyrom: If I should leave it in, then is there something in the autoprovision that needs to run to make the simcard work with mightyrom? (I loaded MR without my simcard in the slot).
Just a few thoughts and ideas that may make a difference for people having problems with QuickGPS and some other updates.
