Which application you are trying it in? Nokia Maps times out after 10 minutes, even though locking may take up to 20, so Nokia Maps may never get the lock. Try GpsData, GpsJinni or Modrana.

Thanks for your reply. I just installed those applications you mentioned but they didn't work too. I think it has nothing to do with the application that I am running on my phone. Perhaps there is something wrong with the GPS server...
P.S: I'm using Nokia Ovi maps.

Just check once more in settings, that really supl.google.com is chosen!
I have this often reset to nokia.com after a ungraceful shutdown.
If it os set to google check with your data provider that port(s) 7275/7276 are really open.

I have also noticed that it takes an age to see GPS location.
it used to work perfectly up until last week
using supl.google.com
it must be an issue with supl.google.com - my s2 also does it

Do we have the root certificate in place for supl.google.com ?
They used to use Thawte, but now they use Equifax
Perhaps the Equifax Secure Certificate Authority is not installed.

I am in Australia and I found recently that my Nokia N900 GPS is not working, that is, not getting 'locked'.

The mechanism is a bit complicated. Shortly, it downloads 'most recent information' from the area you are located, which it finds using GSM towers and triangulation. A lock will happen really fast, but a precise lock will happen far later, perhaps half an hour, when the GPS have recieved a complete set of data.

I am in Australia and I found recently that my Nokia N900 GPS is not working, that is, not getting 'locked'. I had this problem 6 months ago but when I changed the server from Nokia to Google (supl.google.com), it started working perfectly. Now the same problem happening again... this time with Google.... Any solution will be very appreciated as I need GPS a lot!
Thanks
