Funny thing, I just had the same problem, I couldn't download QuickGPS and my GPS was not working in Google Maps. I Spent like a whole day trying to figure this one out, and i felt real stupid, first i thought it was a hardware problem, but that wouldn't explan why quickgps wasn't working.

anyway, here's the fix I did, even after i hard reset this setting stayed the same, I don't know why

go to
start->settings->phone
then click on "services" tab on bottom
then get settings for "Location Settings" and turn it "on", some reason mine was set to "off" and even after a hard reset, it stayed off.

problem solved for me! i feel stupid
