Go outside? Try other Applicatin for GPS, one that provides information regarding satellites in view?

Without data connection it takes 3-5 minutes to lock in good conditions. You can install the "location test" app to really check it. Search for that--there has been much discussion. :)

I use GPSJinni to check GPS receiver status.
A few people have posted that leaving GPSJinni on (in background) seems to help applications that lose communication with the GPS receiver often.
Take care.
