Cellnet-info does not use an AGPS Server like supl.google.com. It finds the location by searching the coordinates of the celltower on OpenCellID (which is an independent database). This coordinates are then used to find a postal address on maps.googleapis.com. This works fine on my devices, tested in various countries. If the data is not accurate, I presume the data on OpenCellID has to be blamed

If we are talking about getting gps locks itself: I am also having a lot of trouble with that lately.
