My Freerunner needs ~5 minutes before it has the time (tangoGPS displays
the time of the GPS even if there is no fix) and ~10-15 minutes overall
before it gets a fix. If I move, even just walking or have the Neo not
in an upright position, I don't get a fix at all. Clear skyview of 80%
sky is necessary for my FR too.

The above log data means that the GPS chip has just no clue about its
whereabouts.
