It might have been as simple as needing a data connection open first before starting GPS. I recall there might have been a bug in the callback where the Qualcomm stuff asks for the data connection to be opened.
The setting is in
/system/etc/gps.conf
and it gets copied into
/data/etc/gps.conf
at boot time, so you only need to change it once at the source (and reboot)
This is what I changed
SUPL_HOST=68.28.31.49
SUPL_PORT=4503
This is what Sprint phones usually have it set to (including Touch Pro stock WM ROM) I wouldn't experiment using these settings if you are on a different carrier.
Verizon probably has their on SUPL server settings which you could look up if you were interested.

I tried this using Bell's AGPS server settings:
PDE IP Address: 206.47.201.75
PDE Port number: 8888
The results are much faster locks. Prior to doing this I was getting 5-10 MINUTE locks...if at all. Now I'm getting 60 second locks. I haven't tested extensively so I'll try some more and report back.
For future reference, the servers for most carriers are here:

Also, I had to edit the /data/etc/gps.conf file as the /system/etc/gps.conf is read-only.
thanks SFhub and Makk!
