At the moment, when a survey is submitted the phone waits for a predetermined period for a GPS fix before the survey is considered complete and ready for upload. If no GPS fix is achieved in that period, the survey is marked complete without any location.

Potential fix: the survey should first be tagged with a coarse location approximation (e.g. "network location" or wifi location). If no GPS fix is achieved, the survey will at least be submitted with the network/wifi location.
