If you use GPS + A-GPS(mobile network) + WiFi its gonna be faster. What model of phone you use?
If you are in building GPS find position slower, than you are outside.

You can tell the LocationManager to use your Network Provider to speed up GPS fix. Just make sure to request updates from LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER when you set up your listener. And maybe this is too obviouse but: try it outside or at least directly behind a window, it won't work that good near your development computer somewhere in your room.

Rule of thumb is to use all available locationproviders and take best result (you already have link to reo meier blog). You shall provide user with best available location ( provided it meets requirements in precision and age ) while waiting for better fix from some of providers.
