Feeding GPS with correct data about recent sat positions isn't something you 
can make "more tolerant".
Either the GPS knows where to look for the sats (due to accurate data being 
supplied by AGPS), or it needs to scan all possibilities to find where to get 
an actual signal (which may take quite a while).
