On a daily basis, i'm not able to use the GPS. In order to get nearby information i'm relying on wifi(accurate)+3g(inaccurate), unfortunately i cannot use Unav app for instance. 

I tried on my balcony test-GPS with success (catching a position), I decided to try by walking in my neighbourhood. I reboot the phone to use a "fresh" setup, and after 30 min test-GPS didn't catch anything.

the current config :
