I can't believe this worked so well. Before getting a GPS lock was some twisted game of luck someone invented. I just did this. Inside my work I get the normal no GPS lock which I don't expect one, but I walked to the window and get GPS locks within 20 or less seconds. Before this trick I could literally stand outside for minutes and never get a lock. Only way it seemed to want to lock on was to reset the phone.

I've walked away from the window lose the lock, and walk back to it and get it right back very quickly. Thank you whoever figured this out! Finally GPS is performing as it should have out of the box.

Edit: I also got the boot loop. Easy fix as noted. Pop the battery, boot into recovery, backup your data/factory wipe/reboot until phone is done booting/shutdown/boot to recovery/restore data/reboot. You're done.
