If it's taking more than 5 minutes then there is probably something wrong: 1 Poor view of the sky (or a particularly unlicky set of satellite positions) 2 Lots of movement 3 system time and/or timezone is wrong 4 Aid data is incomplete, out of date or from too far away 5 GPS firmware rebooted due to bad aid data above
1 and 2 make getting first fix harder for any gps. 3 and 4 mean you tell the gps it's in a different place and/or time to its actual location, or give it incorrect information about the satellites. This can slow first fix considerably, or in extreme cases cause the gps firmware to reset. 3 is often set correctly by frameworkd from the gsm information or internet, but not always, particularly if a country spans several timezones. Handling of the last two could be better automated in ogpsd. The workaround is to close the app needing gps data, delete the aid data, and restart the app. It hasn't frustrated anyone sufficiently for them to fix its remaining problems yet.
