I don't know what is going on with sailfish positioning method.
For sure it behave different. It depends maybe also on the settings, or if you have a sim card or not, more last know values (from different methods), maybe different sailfish versions, wifi hmm what ever.

Soon I will release a version where you can define how many positioning events you want to dump.

But I will also suggest you to try out the limit option.
This option specifies an accuracy threshold. It will have the first output with a better accuracy than the limit.
With the right tuned limit you could be sure to get a satellite position.

To determine a good limit I recommend to make some experience with --fout and maybe also with --sat. There you could see the accuracy and the correlation with satellites.

With 6 satellites out of 25 I had an accuracy of 3 with the jolla c.
