so, in short:

supl.vodafone.com + wifi or 2G: mode 2 location, accuracy 188m

Yep, confirmed from my previous tests using test-location AFTER
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/nokia/location
AND a
reboot
and reconfiguring supl server in settings (sorry for delay, had to sort some other things out).

Funny is:
it works with WiFi and vodafone network 2G/3G, but NOT with O2-de GPRS/UMTS. So it is proven (google dead, vodafone works for some ...)

Yep. ONLY after above procedure (both clearing and reboot) you will get reliable results (or using petur's py)!

Did not know about these script(s). Mind telling us the source?

Nevertheless, now we have one supl server left delivering location cell tower based position.

Better than nothing, but it is not real assisted GPS. And we do not know the reason for nokia/google failing yet
