Help Total GPS Failure?

Right I can switch GPS on and off without a problem but it won't 'Lock on' and find my location?
I use a program called Speedview for my car. This tells me how many satalites it's connected to. Sometimes connecting to 10+ yet it still won't lock on?
Even on google maps it just spends ages looking for my location but won't retrieve it?

This happens indoors and out.

Anyone shed some light on this?

Cheers, Bailes.

I would say try resetting your phone to default that will refresh all drivers.

And in settings under location and security, enable the option "use wireless networks"

This actually works very good, using this while in doors and GPS off i can get a fixed location within 30 secs on google maps
