LocationAPI getLocation timeout don´t work

Question

Hey,
I´ve a Problem with the LocationAPI. I want to update my Position everey 500ms.
Here my Code:
while(true){
     try {
          location = locProvider.getLocation(5);          // Lokalisierung (timeout: Provider default)
          coord = location.getQualifiedCoordinates();     // Koordinaten holen                    
     } catch (LocationException locExc) {               // Provider in Timeout-Zeit nicht erreichbar
          status = false;
          coord = null;
     } catch (InterruptedException intExc) {
          status = false;
     if(coord != null){
          status = true;
          lat   = coord.getLatitude();          // Breitengrad     
          lon   = coord.getLongitude();          // Längengrad
          hoehe = coord.getAltitude();          // Höhe
          speed = location.getSpeed();          // Geschwindigkeit
     }else{
          status = false;
}Problem: On my MobilePhone (Samsung Jet S8000) the Thread paused at "location = locProvider.getLocation(5)" (when I´ve no Signal). Even after the timeout (5s) it does not continue... when i´ve a signal it works fine... my samsung emulator don´t have this problem...
where is the problem or how can i change the variable "status" after 5 seconds false?
Thanks!

Hey IceTi,
Have a look at Timer and TimerTask* classes.
