Thank you sooooo much. This worked for me. I have tried every option I could find through forums etc… for about a year. I now get a lock on BBMaps and Google maps within seconds

Thanks to this tip, I discovered that MTS Allstream has *finally* enabled GPS functionality on their network. I have a Tour 9630 and have only had it for a couple months. GPS definitely was not working up until very recent.

This tip does not work on the BB Storm. I went to the status page and popped up the keyboard and typed Test and nothing happened.

The biggest difference when it comes to fix time is whether or not your phone has pre-cached the ephemeris data with the data connection. Otherwise it has to get that data from the satellites which is what takes forever. I believe you turn this on by enabling “location aiding”.

The GPS works fine on my BlackBerry Bold 9000, usually locking-on to a satellite in under 10 seconds from a “cold” start!

'Fixing' in this context doesn't mean to 'make not broken', it just means to acquire your current GPS location. Using your GPS in the future will be just as slow as it always was.
