One thing I have noticed with my GPS (this doesn't quite sound like your problem however) is that if I have it off for a long period of time, it takes forever to find my location when I turn it on, even with mobile location also enabled. What works for me is that I turn it on, then restart the phone and then it works fine, until of course I turn it off for a prolonged period of time.
When you first turn on GPS, it has a lot of handshaking and configuration to do. I used to set my Serf III hiking GPS on a log and walk away for 5 minutes to let it settle.
