Then, it start harder to get until from 23-6-09 till now, I cant use my garmin mobile xt, it keep showing "Awaiting Better GPS Accuracy".

I am using GMXT in my Samsung Omnia, no problem with the signal strength. :mrgreen:
How long did you wait before you turn off the GMXT?
Did you update your aGPS data?

Yes, I can log on to the GPS location pretty fast today. About 30 sec.

As for the aGPS software, normally it is pre-installed in your phone. In my Omnia, the utility is called "Enhanced GPS". Normally after you turn it on, the software will login to GPRS/3G network automatically to download the GPS almanac data. Without the updated GPS almanac data, my Omnia sometime will search for >10min before log on to GPS location. After update, 99% of the time will log on in less than 1 min.

Hope that helps. :mrgreen:

Tried enabling the AGPS in your phone like here,
AGPS helps in getting a 'lock on' faster.
