Default [Q] GPS lock issues?

Anyone else having issues getting a GPS lock? I'm sitting inside a building but my Hero would always lock here, especially after resetting the AGPS data with GPS Status program. Tried that with the Shift, and still not getting a lock even after a minute. Not sure what else to try.

Typically I keep mine turned off, but I just turned mine on and went to Maps and it locks my location in.

mine took a little while to initialize (indoors) but it locked in within 30 seconds.

No issues here. Inside my GFs apartment it locks very quick and is probably about 5-10 feet off according to google maps. My moments GPS never locked or worked so I'm extremely happy with the GPS quality on this phone.

The first lock took around a minute to get. Now it gets a solid lock in just a few seconds, if that.

A little off. Not as bad as my gfs Samsung Instinct, but it does often have me a few hundred meters from my actual location.

Me and my girlfriend are having constant problems with the gps lock. Seems to work when it wants and disconnects randomly.

GPS is spotty for me as well. GPS Status won't even get it working for me when it won't work.

When it does work it is not as accurate as my Heroc was. Hopefully this gets some love in any updates.

GPS is great for me. The only issue I've run into is that when I go from Maps to Navigation, my SD card gets mounted as read-only for some reason.

I know a couple of days ago I tried to use my Google Maps/GPS and it couldn't get a lock on me. It was like going crazy or something. However, it was snowing and kinda foggy so maybe that had something to do with it. It worked the next day though when the sky was clear.
