GPS is stuck with a set of satellites - how to remove them from memory?

WAAS is not a satelite. LMFAO. It's a server developed by garmin for a more acurate position. 3 feet range as oppose to non WAAS enabled GPS chips, The range can be up to 3 meters.

I have another example of weird behavior of my phone, when it is stuck
forever and never gets a lock.. maybe someone knowledgeable may
tell me what's this about?

For a few hours I had fast locks with 5 satellites - 3, 7, 25, 27, 28 (seen in GPSview)

then, while I was moving 15 km away on the way,
(it does not matter, I may have just powered it off and then on)

it loses the lock, and the new set of satellites shows up
6,8,11,19,26, all in the range of 20-30 dB signal strength,
but NEVER gets a lock,
no soft power on heaven and earth can make it lock,
I tried HTC GPS Tool, switch on and off Location setting,
switch on and off AGPS in registry, etc etc..

What's funny, while it is stuck on those satellites, sometimes, almost instantaneously , another 4 show up, 28,27, 7,25, they blink, and disappear...

Soft reset helps, though..
it Cold Locks with 1,2,5,9,12,28,30 in a minute or two..

any ideas? Anyone else experiences this, probably with different ROM?

Incorrect.

WAAS, Wide Area Augmentation System is NOT a server developed by garmin. It's owned by the US Govt, DOT and FAA for precision flight approaches. Its designed to correct signal errors and it uses ground stations AND satellites.
