1.a. Was your phone rooted when you updated? If yes, what method did you use to root?

NO

1.b. If your phone was not rooted at the time of update, had you ever previously rooted your phone? If so, what method did you use to un-root?

Never

1.c. If you have never rooted your phone, was it perfectly stock when you updated?

I did mess around with GPS settings before update

2.a. Were you running a lag fix when you updated?

No

2.b. If not, had you ever previously had a lag fix installed?

No

3.a. Did you have a custom ROM or kernel employed when you updated?

No

3.b. If not, had you installed custom ROMs or kernels previously?

No

4.a. Did you perform a factory data reset prior to updating?

No

5.a. Were any "bloatware" apps deleted from your phone at the time you updated?

No

5.b. If not, had you previously removed "bloatware" and then reinstalled it prior to updating?

No

6.a. Was your GPS "working" prior to the update? If yes, explain generally what you mean by "working." (i.e. "I got lock in under 15 seconds on 7 sats with 20meter accuracy")

No. Used to take approx 2-3 min to lock.

6.b. If your GPS was working prior to the update, had you applied any unofficial GPS fixes on your own? If yes, what had you tried?

I did update settings as suggested in forum which increased performance marginally.

6.c. Regardless of whether the GPS was working for you or not, did the update improve your GPS performance? If yes, please explain generally what improvements you see.

No. Still takes about 2 min to lock. As a side note, it seems that most users here who had messed with the GPS settings before the update are not getting optimal GPS performance after the update (This is true even if they change the GPS settings to stock original that shipped with the update).

7.a. Did you take any additional steps to attempt to return your phone to stock prior to updating?

No

Are you saying you didn't successfully update?

Please don't add answers if you got an 'update failed' message. We're trying to find some commonality among the people who managed to update successfully.

It worked infrequently. Once it found 13 satellites and locked fast, but mostly it either didn't work or was very slow to lock.

6.b. If your GPS was working prior to the update, had you applied any unofficial GPS fixes on your own? If yes, what had you tried?

Everything, but it didn't really matter.

6.c. Regardless of whether the GPS was working for you or not, did the update improve your GPS performance? If yes, please explain generally what improvements you see.

Seems like it did because I got a lock IN MY HOUSE for the first time, but I still don't think it works as it should because that's not repeatable.

I changed the supl and socket to Google's

1.b. If your phone was not rooted at the time of update, had you ever previously rooted your phone? If so, what method did you use to un-root? (Yes, I used the one-click root/unroot found in the development section, which I also used to unroot.)

1.c. If you have never rooted your phone, was it perfectly stock when you updated? (Not applicable, although while I'm sort of on stock, I do use LauncherPro)

2.a. Were you running a lag fix when you updated? (No)

2.b. If not, had you ever previously had a lag fix installed? (No)

2.c. If Yes to either question above, which lag fix(es) have you used? (Not applicable)

3.a. Did you have a custom ROM or kernel employed when you updated? (No)

4.a. Did you perform a factory data reset prior to updating? (No)

5.a. Were any "bloatware" apps deleted from your phone at the time you updated? (No)

5.b. If not, had you previously removed "bloatware" and then reinstalled it prior to updating? (No, not for a lack of trying I think I did it wrong and it reset my phone, I sort of had a diminished spirit after that but I plan on trying again after 2.2 comes out.)

5.c. If yes to either of the above, what apps did you delete/restore? (Not applicable)

5.d. Regarding 5.c., what method(s) did you use to uninstall and/or reinstall? (Not applicable)

6.a. Was your GPS "working" prior to the update? If yes, explain generally what you mean by "working." (i.e. "I got lock in under 15 seconds on 7 sats with 20meter accuracy") (No, it was not working, and even with the GPS improvements it wasn't really working and would take forever to get a lock.)

6.b. If your GPS was working prior to the update, had you applied any unofficial GPS fixes on your own? If yes, what had you tried? (I used the supl.google.com with skyhook on, accuracy set at 50, and the port was set to 7276 I believe.)

6.c. Regardless of whether the GPS was working for you or not, did the update improve your GPS performance? If yes, please explain generally what improvements you see. (No, I honestly don't see any changes and apparently I'm in the group of people who tried to fix GPS by themselves and AT&T shunned us. Awesome.)

7.a. Did you take any additional steps to attempt to return your phone to stock prior to updating? (Yes, I unrooted my phone just in case.)

I forgot to add that I had a 100% successful update. No failing or anything.

6.a. Was your GPS "working" prior to the update? If yes, explain generally what you mean by "working." It would lock within 30 seconds usually, but when driving it was virtually useless. It would jump around and recalculate routes all the time. If the phone was in a static position the GPS was great.

6.c. Regardless of whether the GPS was working for you or not, did the update improve your GPS performance?

yes , lock time 10 sec or less can get lock outside and go in house and it will track me through house accuracy 5 meters or less at times, gps test locks 9 of 11 sats and holds them strong used google nav on the way home today killed all apps started driving and opened navigater wile moving took like 1 min to lock and tracked dead on for 10 miles through city before update i would never get lock wile moving

i changed the supl settings to auto config after update to get these results

[Captivate General] Kubernetes:
Thanks to everyone who has answered so far! If you're reading this and had a successful update but haven't contributed yet, please do so! I doubt that AT&T or Samsung knows the history or state of your phone, so this kind of voluntary information-sharing can be very helpful to everyone. Thanks again!
[Captivate General] Kubernetes:
Could you clarify? I'm not sure what post-update battery performance has to do with the state of your phone prior to the update... I'd like to hear your thoughts if you think it's important. Thanks.

Survey

See above, I answered.
[Captivate General] travisryans:
I performed the drain battery down to nothing, charge off a few times when I first got the phone. Battery life was around 25+ hours after that with a normal days use. I'll know more if the update affected the life of the battery after a few days of course. I did see another thread after I posted on this one regarding the battery life so I posted there as well.

Suppose I'll contribute as well:

GPS was junk with both the suppl.google fix and the stock settings. My phone kept reverting back to the original settings as well

6.b. If your GPS was working prior to the update, had you applied any unofficial GPS fixes on your own? If yes, what had you tried?

Tried the suppl.google fix, seemed to improve performance but not much.

6.c. Regardless of whether the GPS was working for you or not, did the update improve your GPS performance? If yes, please explain generally what improvements you see.

I believe it did. I turned my GPS on last night in the car, launched Navigation and tripped my way home perfectly. The phone NEVER got a lock before when I was moving. Had to sit around for a few minutes before it would even start up.

7.a. Did you take any additional steps to attempt to return your phone to stock prior to updating?

None, waited till around 8PM last night and it downloaded, installed and reported "Phone has been updated". I did reboot twice before I attempted to use the GPS.

It's interesting that none of the respondents thus far have ever installed a custom ROM or kernel.
