Hiya
A friend of mine has just got a 5230 on Vodafone PayG for �80 with free 3g data for 6 months (absolute bargain).
Unfortunately when he tries to use the GPS (one of the main selling points on this phone) it's just not getting a fix.
He has all methods except external bluetooth GPS enabled.
I've checked the a-gps server settings and they seem correct according to this forum post:

His 3g data is working fine for downloads etc. I suppose it's possible that vodafone are somehow blocking the agps download but that does seem a bit stupid since they sold him the phone.
When I go into the GPS status it takes a relatively short while to pick up four satellites but it still says "waiting for position".
We also get 0 satellites when inside; my fairly old (3 years?) cheapo bluetooth gps works fine in the same room.
A long TTFF I could understand if agps wasn't enabled but it seems overlong even if it were not, and I'm bothered about the sensitivity of the device that it shows 0 satellites where other older units show 3 or 4.
What's other people's experiences of the 5230 for GPS? I've seen people talking about 13-second TTFF for the 5800, and I'd have hoped the 5230 would be similar.
Thanks!
