Might be related to the region. I'm in Austin w/TMO and it works perfect for me both on EDGE and 3G. Or perhaps it is the network settings for your particular data plan? If they have you going through a proxy that could potentially hose up things. Try a different APN (there's the internet2.voicestream one and the epc.tmobile one...if you have one configured try the other).

I had the same issue when I switched from ATT to Tmobile. I cleared the "use network positioning" checkbox, rebooted, checked the box and then launched Maps. Works great. 5 second GPS fixes again.

Do you have a data connection up?

Thanks for your suggestions, though.
There's a Nokia Support Discussion thread that has reports from several other people experiencing the same problem. One person reported fixing the problem with disable/reboot/enable/reboot. This did not work for me.
I'm still interested to know if there are further diagnostic steps I can take. I'm out of ideas. Anyone know a OMA-UPL expert that can help out?

Setting Location server to supl.google.com and rebooting got me a location fix.
I haven't tried yet, but using supl.google.com:7276 may be better as an Android engineer recommended it for "testing" with.

I've noticed the same behavior with T-Mobile USA (but have no way to try ATT). I found, though, that if I run the Ovi Maps program, I suddenly get a fix and my IM availability publishes my street location as determined by Ovi Maps. Once I close Ovi Maps, it goes back to Searching...
Does anyone know how to read the NMEA data from the internal GPS receiver? Is there an app yet to grahpically display the signal quality from each GPS sat and the current fix quality?

supl.nokia.com must not be working or supplying incorrect data.
Thanks!

I'm also using T-mobile in upstate ny. It must be something with nokia's server.

Thanks for the tip. With nokia's server I was getting nowhere. With google it's damn near instant!
