I did have to do a Sprint Device Repair/Swap a while back. I broke one of the little wires (that I assume are antenna wires) that are embedded in the electrical tape right above the battery. I could not get ANY gps reception whatsoever till I got the device replaced.
Hope that's not your issue, and it's WAY simpler.

Well I'm on my 6th device now, and my past ones running this ROM don't have AGPS working either. Put yourself in a spot where you won't have a real GPS signal, like in a basement. The building here has a metal roof, and even by the window I'm not getting a GPS lock like I should.
The AGPS server in this ROM is set to Telus' which is why it may not be working for Sprint, but I made the change back to Sprint's server and no luck. I get a normally poor GPS lock while in my car too, it really needs to have an open view to sky to work, as have my past TP's. Long lock times and persistently poor GPS performance has been going on for a while and it's pretty frustrating for me. I just read a story of someone's iPhone getting stolen, and it being recovered by using MobileMe... and I realized I can't do that with my TP becuase of the extremely unreliable GPS.
