GPS issues

I'm currently running GV 1.8, but I've had the same problem with different roms and Kernels.

I can't get a GPS lock. I've tried some apps (GPS Fix, GPS Test), but neither have fixed the issue. It keeps searching for a GPS signal. it's been loading for over an hour now and my friends Nokia C5-03 locked after 20 seconds.

Sometimes it does lock, but it always takes at least 10 minutes.

Any help?

Radio: 5.11.05.27
Kernel: Eviolet 1.3 GB - HAVS - Axi - 128 - CFS
 
I'm also on GV 1.8, but using the default kernel. GPS lock depends on the location - if you already had a fix in one place, then it should take like 10sec to get a fix again. In the new locations if should not take more than 1-2m.
Have you got the data connectivity ON?
I would reboot the phone, enable data then GPS then try again with GPS Test.
