Have you tried GPS only?

As i said, the GPS signal only works like a charm on Android on the same hardware, so it isn't a hw-issue. 
After i tested the android image i flashed the phone back to the latest firmware downloaded from the BQ site and the GPS is still unusable for me. 

Cellular and WLAN info can speed things up a but, but GPS only should
work also.
