Have you tried to open Maps in the open and let the phone get a fix on the GPS satellites? Currently, I have no problem getting GPS to work outside, but once indoors, the A-GPS can't get a location.

2. If it's the A-GPS that can't lock-on, first try changing your Location server to supl.google.com from supl.nokia.com. The setting is in 'Settings>Location>Network positioning'. Some users have reported that this resurrects A-GPS functionality.

3. If (2) doesn't work, you can try what I suggested a couple of posts ago: Switch off your N900, and remove/reinstall the battery before switching it back on. One user has reported that the A-GPS functionality will then return to normal using both supl.nokia.com and supl.google.com.

Let me know how you get on and good luck!
I too had the same problem of AGPS not working after PR1.3.1, with the setting set to supl.nokia.com (it was working in PR1.3). I found that if I unticked both Enable boxes in the Location Settings, Save, then went back in and ticked both boxes again, it started working, still using supl.nokia.com and without having to shutdown and remove the battery. Worth a try.
