Well yeah, if Google are no longer accepting requests from arbitrary devices, and it's sending the wrong ephemeris data to the chipset, then it will indeed take an age to find a lock.

I'm interested in your saying that you are sent to [39,0], how do you see this? If Google is just sending the wrong ephemeris data I'd expect the GPS to just take ages to lock, and the other location methods to be used in the meantime... Unless the SUPL server is also used for cell location (which I didn't think it was).
