Flash updates 33 and 34 and your GPS will be working again. I plomise.

The plomise was on purpose because I can't promise. But I can plomise.

Also make sure location setting isn't E911 only.

You said you were on version 32. the current version is 34. The latest version includes updates to the gps libraries. Most likely if you flash the new update your problem will be resolved.

I've already upgrade to version 34 and nothing. by the way i went into the location settings and there's no such a thing as location on 911 all you will find is use gps satellites which is obviously checked and use wireless network.

Hmm it may be different on KaosFroyo. I have another option that you push once in Location Settings on PlainJane2.0 that you can choose that.

Well, Sense ≠ Vanilla so I would think that the Settings menu would be a bit different. However try to wipe Data and cache. Then try and flash v34. See if that works...

And if you can't fix it you may need to replace your phone. But if you do get the Incredible!

Try downloading GPS status from the market. Open it > Menu > Settings >GPS and sensors > Manage A-GPS state > Reset and download. Also calibrate roll and pitch.
