Install GPS Status from the market, then: Menu -> Tools -> Manage AGPS -> Reset Menu -> Tools -> Manage AGPS -> Download


Enjoy GPS.

I've been using GPS Status for quite some time because of c:geo for geocaching. I was not aware of the procedure you mentioned above, but I tried it and it worked great. Thanks for the good info.

Having the same GPS issue, takes for ever or more generally never locks. After the update still no change. Until now. Menu - settings - applications - running services - SyncService stopped this service. GPS has been working great since. Ive reset and power cycle the phone a few times and GPS locks location in a few seconds.

According to another forum (Drippler) the fix is being worked on ny HTC and Verizon.

HTC, Verizon working on ThunderBolt reboots by Phil Nickinson When it comes to the HTC ThunderBolt, probably our biggest gripe is the spate of reboots. Look down, and, yep, there it goes again. It's one thing if it's a hacked phone with nightly builds --and another if it's a stock consumer release. But the good news is that some whiny blogger whined about it on Twitter, and Verizon responded with what you see above. Not that we had any doubt that HTC and Verizon are working to squash a bug or three, but it is nice to see it publicly. Source: Twitter; More: ThunderBolt forums (1, 2, 3, 4)
