If you did the 4th method after the 3rd, it was probably the 4th method that worked at the end, saying the 4th method overrid the 3rd.Thanks so much. Running froyo and used both 3rd and 4th methods. I am not sure which worked because I was trying to test the gps in my apartment, which apparently does not get good signal in the first place. Once I got to open ground it linked up fast. Just a heads up for ppl trying this, make sure you are in place that has a signal to start.
Im on froyo now, and I get quick gps locks, and they are fairly accurate, and everything appears to work, but my accuracy seems consistantly off. It will report a small accuracy, say several feet at bests (depends on how many sat i can see), but when you use the Satellite layer in google maps or in my geocache program (c:geo, which I highly recommend for any geocachers out there) the marker for my location is much further away than I really am, perhaps up to 80 feet I would estimate. The aerial images are very good (as are most areas), and you can zoom in very close to see the difference between where I am standing, and where the gps says I am. When I was back on eclair stock, the marker was always right on, every time. Its like there is a incorrect (or unadjusted?) "shift" in the coordinate system, if you get my meaning. Ive tried option #3 for gps fixes, but no change. Any suggestions? Im curious about #4, but dont know if it will help or not.
im running trulyepic rom. tried option three with no real improvement. is option 1 my best alternative? will this cause me to lose root?
@Mobius360 -- What is the application you are using to show your GPS accuracy? I have installed GPS status, as per one of the other suggested fixes (to reset GPS), and I don't think that is one of the screens from the GPS Status app.
Thanks

... and I did not lose root, or anything else. I remained on TrulyEpic and all was well, with the exception of a working GPS... At least that is my experience.
If you are talking about the top "blue" screen, the program is called GPS Test
