You could try configuring the gps.conf file in the /system/etc/ folder. There are threads with info about this if you do a search. Alternatively install a custom rom.

Have a look here. I used this to modify my gps.conf, and I also calibrate gps using the satelites function in gps essentials from the market. I usually get about seven or eight satelites in a few minutes and an accuracy of between 60 to 10 metres.

i have try that before, but still slower than some roms such as Moldovan-Mile-High-Mountain-Pie serials.

Switch to a custom ROM then. When I bought my phone, the only app that would work with GPS was Baidu maps, which was no good to me because I don't read enough Chinese, and it was also innacurate about my location by at least 500m every time. It was only when I put CM7 on that the GPS became usable. I wondered wether the Chinese government require China Unicom to make sure that GPS is not that good. I could just be getting paranoid in my old age though. :lol:

On MMHMP here, it's blindingly fast to lock.

Previously I was on FLB, which did take up to a few minutes sometimes. It was sped up after I used FasterFix though. It's a one-time use app, which just lets you set local time servers.

Didn't know about FasterFix. Much more painless than pulling out the conf file to edit :)
