I have tried manually configuring both TeleNav and Google maps with no change (still weak signal and zero satellites found)

Shanep13, Let see If I can help you with Google-Maps.
First step: let me know if you have in "HTC Home tab" the "My location weather" working fine??? (that means that your automaticaly local weather is automaticaly know where you are (town, city, country), so if you move to other place automaticaly relocate it with that local weather. So actually you are seeing at the home tab your local weather not manually set, isn't it??
Ok, second step:
What version of G-maps are you using?? I remmember people telling having problem with v3.2, so download the last one which is v4.0.0.81 from this link here (if it is not the one you are using today).
Now we both have the same version on G-maps,
Third step:
Open G-maps, go to menu--> "option" : tell me what text appear in the first row (it can be "USE GPS" or "Turn Off GPS") ?? and now go to "GPS setting" and tell me what is the settings ("Managed by Windows" or "set Manually")??
Ok return to map view and Next go to "menu" --> "Help" --> "about" : what text appear in this categories: a) Total data received; b) cache size; c) Platform; d) battery; e) myl; f) wifi ??? and close G-maps.
Fourth Step: Press start button --> Settings --> Personal --> Phone , you will be now in "Settings" (Voicemail/sounds-rings settings) windows go to "Services" TAB (at the bottom) You will see a square with a list of "phone service settings" select "Location Setting" and press "Get Settings" and tell me which option is mark (on or off).
Ok now I will wait for your answer Shanep13

Hi IronRed, sorry it seems we both misunderstood each other. I was saying You Said:

Then today I had to hold the power button for a while to get the screen to wake up. I think after using the cab to remove it, it felt like I was moving faster through the screens. But later I got a bug that I had a month ago with an earlier version, the text message screen would hang up. Now when I try to leave the text screen, it hangs up for maybe 10 - 15 seconds.

SO I think Shanep13, was talking about that same bug, but without having your same step to replicated the bug. So that is why I highlighted that you say you use sys-21xxx but don't specify which one.
Anyway I have not see that bug in the last ROM I'm using now this last week.

Re: [3/27/2010] MikROM [Sense 2.5 | 21897 / 23551 | Lite & Standard Versions]

oh, I'm 21897. I have the latest build.

Re: [3/27/2010] MikROM [Sense 2.5 | 21897 / 23551 | Lite & Standard Versions]

ok first problem i encountered, i made a call and the phone locked like normal. I then reach the answering machine so i tried to end call, a top bar with some icons was down at the time(don't know why) the screen froze and couldn't press anything not even end. I pressed the top sleep button and the answering machine repeated over and over i didn't get your message. I had to take the battery out

Is that what's going on? Good catch. I was in a room where I got no signal, and saw that my WiFi appeared to be on. I thought amikam had somehow set the phone to enable WiFi when a data connection wasn't available. It makes more sense that the phone was just roaming, and the roaming icon is incorrectly displaying as WiFI.

Sabroso,
Thank you for your help but after reading every thread found here at ppcgeeks and XDA Developers regarding GPS issues the following was found:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1604823&postcount=3572

Actually Sabroso you replied in post 358 on this topic.

In Post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1607402&postcount=3598
Scmasaru stated that adding the following to the registry resolves the issue:
For those who cannot get AGPS or My Location to work please check the Google Mobile Maps About page. If the second from the last line shows "myl: N/A", add the following reg keys:
Code:
HKLM\software\google\googlemaps
supports_extended_ril=1 (String Value)
supports_extended_wifi=1 (String Value)

Later Google maps versions fail to create the two items so myl stopped working. Before we did not have this problem because OMJ cooked in the GMM 3.2 which creates teh reg values. So for later versions we should always cook in the two reg keys to work around the problem.

It appears to be an issue with OMJ’s kitchen….
I am sure OMJ is working on resolving the issue.

Still getting zero satellites found but the map jumps to my location (very close maybe 100 feet) within seconds.

Amikam,
Can this be added to your next release?

HI JZR, Yeah you can easily confirm it (well you have to be in a roaming area for your number mobile first), Just when you see the "wifi ICON", Turn on WIFI and you will see double "wifi ICON". I guess it is a mistake for the original ".dll" file where ICONs are. Anyway did you notice if your Mobile get hot when you are roaming????

Shanep13, mmmm Again you have all the settings correctly set (which I was guessing was not),
Just to double check: After you manually update QuickGPS, and go to G-maps check that you have enable GPS (no "aGPS") and press the Blue square with the point, it actually say "Seeking GPS satellites (0)" instead of "You current location is temporarily unavailable"?????? mmmm than mean that you actually have all the service enable but for some reason your GPS ANTENA is not working.
Step One: Just a noob question but have you try in a undersky area (like a street, I mean not inside a building)??? (I guess GPS satellite are over the hole Earth, so it has to work anywhere with underSky direct view)
Step Two: Which radio are you using for what company, for example my radio is "Sprint Diamond v1.12.34F"?? have you update radio Lately????

Shanep13, By the way, just for the record you undestand the difference betwwen "aGPS" and "GPS"? "aGPS" don't use the antena of your GPS, is use the CDMA towers to triangle your position which can be 1000 to 100 meters accurate only, and the speed of updated is not the one need it for "Drive assistance".
Shanep13, I guess you have already discover that to make work "aGPS" in G-maps you have to disable GPS (I mean press "Turn Off GPS")??
Anyway, that is not a solution for your problem (I mean a real solution) so that i why I have not mention that before.
What I really concern is about why "Seeking GPS satellites (0)" find no Satellite,
because the "services are on", you have "local weather" fine, QuickGPS fine, and it actually say "Seeking for GPS Satellites", mmm I will wait for you answer but I'm ending my check list.
Anyway, The good thing of "aGPS" is that don't consume you battery as the "GPS antena", but the bad thing is that need "data conection" for work, so in an area where you don't have signal as a rural road you will have no "aGPS" working.
I have already ask AmiKAM to include that "aGPS" regedit in future ROMs,
also the one which make "Opera mobile 10" autorotate enable.
