GPS FIX (method 01)
I5800 has many trouble with gps fix. To solve this just change NTP server in gps.conf located in system/etc. The simple way to do this is using FasterFix that you can download here:http://www.bernardbekker.nl/Files/FasterFixv92.apk
Attention Root is required!
Change NTP depending on your location. For a full list of NTP server visit http://www.ntp.org/.
You can create also a gps.conf file like this:
NTP_SERVER=it.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
and change NTP_SERVER with the one of your area.
To push gps_conf in system/etc you can also use ADB (you'll find it into root/unroot package):

Hi,
I've try to find a solution to the GPS issue on my i5800.
To do so I've developped an application that configures the GPS
to make it work correctly (if it is not enabled it request the
activation through the settings before).
The application is still experimental but works very well on
my i5800. The GPS work very well after.
I put it on android market for free. You can search it with one
of the following keywords: octy, GPS optimisation or GPSopt.
If you want you can test it on your i5800/i5801.
I'm interested by your feedbacks.
If the application make GPS work better for a significant
number of people, I will upgrade it to a better one with a
more intuitive and beautiful interface.
I personally tested it and IT WORKS! GpsFix in few seconds
Great octy
