Ok ive tested this thoroughly but im not sure if this applies to others SGS

The reason i got a lock in less than 30second EVEN @ indoors is due to an active internet connection

Ive conducted a series of test on my phone and here is the result
GPS Enable Wifi Disable - Lock time >100 sec.... Most of the time it did not lock at all and the amount of satalite found was around 1 to 2...

GPS Enable Wifi Enable - Lock time <30sec ....

GPS Enable Wifi Disable 3G Enable - Same as Wifi enable...
Note :
1. I've conducted these test using GPS Status and TestLab
2. the "Use Wireless Network" was disable at all times throughout the test
3. All test was conducted with constant "Switch OFF" to ensure that it is not cause by the cache from previous test (I've found that REBOOT doesn't realy enable COLD start)

Other reasons that might support my test:
1. When i was driving around yesterday to test the GPS ... there wasn't any active internet connection .....
2. Previously after flashing Darky's ROM ... my wifi was on all the time when i tested the GPS .....
I havent tested out to see how it works outdoors or on the road with Internet connection... so im not sure how far this hypothesis is true...

Yea.. cause i did not subscribe to DATA plan....
one thing i was wondering.... Does normal GPS actualy requires internet to Lock??? or is it cause of SGS faultyness that causes this??
I always thought if without the "use wireless network" on ... internet connectivity would not have any affect on the GPS...
Dont dare to try .... scare it made it worst.... and u know im a noob at these stuff.... hope some expert here would try because they can revert if theres any problem

faster fix change the setting in gps.conf file that is store in system/etc, it change the gps server. it got something to do with this pool.server thing http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/, the default setting (even in asia firmware) is set to north-america server.

the fasterfix will change the setting from that(north-america) to asia. usually i set it myself and change it to our own malaysia server, logically it make the phone search server(satellite?) faster cause it is set to our own country,

i want to help you but i already make the gps hardware fix so i cant comment anything as i always forgot to do before and after testing 

if the screws on the back of your SGS dont have sticker. you could open it up and do the hardware fix

scare to root my device with speedmod...is it safe? i scare later there are apps or something that cannot be use

anyone here tried and using OCLF?
can i have a link for step by step to apply this mod.

i'm not into custom rom yet.. haha

from symbian to android..
it's a bit complicated to understand...
need time i think..

o don c the 'my.pool.ntp.org' at all.. only asia pool.. you just type it in 'custom'?

cheers

thats a totally different setting ....

yes just type it in custom..   

yea But if i off the DATA... it Will never lock .. GUARENTEED...

SEE GUYS??? thats what i mean...
ALot people here dont GET WHAT I MEAN .....
I get fast lock through DATA .. but without using the "USE WIRELESS NETWORK" option...
i know many of you kept assuming i DID ....
I did not USE ANY AGPS bullshit .... i just use the NORMAL GPS option ... but for somereason .... the DATA helps it to lock ...

question!!! : did you use gps status to check that? gps status download A-GPS data if im not mistaken, even without you checking the use wireless data in the setting.

try other like gps test.

Yes my master... sorruy for my miss information
