Sometimes, when I start a workout, the app is only searching for GPS for only a couple of sec - and is ready to start. But other times it is searching for a loong time - "Searching GPS... make sure you have a clear view of the sky..." This happend, even when I have a clear view of the sky.
I do have the same problem and I think it's related do Galasy S II. I heard comments about how Samsung should have improved the GPS signal better... Usually this also happens to me when I try to get a location on Google Maps. And it gets faster (at locating) if you let the Data network enabled...
Samsung has a known GPS issue with all their phones. I have a Samsung Captivate and the GPS used to be really bad. You can try xda-developers.com/. Search the forums for you phone and GPS and see what comes up. You can also try fasterfix program that is available in the market. I used fasterfix and changed some settings and it is noticeably faster.
