I noticed that the GPS fix on my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 took a long time to get a GPS sattelite lock. Looking around I found this “Faster Fix” application which is simple and helps in improving GPS lock speed. Faster Fix modifies GPS.conf on the phone according to your location to reduce the time required for GPS lock.
NOTE: You need to root your phone and have busybox installed for the fix to work
