I powered off the phone, back on, and got locks in my living room with google in 6 seconds.
I powered off, and back on, used TomTom, and got locks in just under 14 seconds.
Not a very scientific method. second counter on digital watch, but it is still faster than my car!
Of course, I didn't BUY this to be my gps, I have dedicated units for that, but for it being a win mobile PPC and phone.
Hmm
I might try seeing how long after a reset with the phone radio off (airplane mode) to see if it affects lock time.

What I was suggesting to do, was activate GPS, then disable it... DON'T reset, as that fixes the GPS problem in the first place...
I use GPSToday, (non-automatic.) I basically toggle it from the Today Screen to activate GPS... I can see when it gets a lock... it auto-disconnects after about 10 seconds. If I do this about 6 times in a row, TYPICALLY I will lose GPS altogether, or it gets too slow to use...
I wonder if GPSMODE does anything... it
clearly doesn't actually activate A-GPS... if it did, we would get sub-five-second locks...
I just RE-loaded the stock Sprint ROM, and let it customize, hard-reset, customize, and hard reset again (apparently, it's recommended to do this.. not sure why.)
So I guess I'll see how well it works... usually after a few days, GPS just starts to crap out, and it's time to flash again... I have no clue what could cause this...
I wonder how fast the Mogul is getting locks? I saw some threads of people claiming <5seconds... same chipset too!
