[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
firstly to the user who was not having any gps problems, neiter was i on this SGS that was a replacement due to the first SGS i had would not find any sats, this one had always worked (bar the odd jumping from one road to a nearby one, the gps was useable.

however it is now completly unuseably, i went from JF3 to JM1 and from JM1 to JPM (both done using kies, first one was done in test mode, the second was done using the reg hack), all i can say now is this phone has a truly deeper problem than just a software glitch, i notice "beards" has been quite of late (no disrespect to you), this is going to be one hell of a headache for alot of users, as most people got tied into a 2yr contract (myself included), with a phone that doen't do half of what it was sold as doing.

you are right samsung would never and could never admit there mistake, as they would have a a bollok load of lawsuits on there hands. that said i posted this earlier on there face book page:

Hmmm where to start,

I'm not expecting samsung to answer this,

i managed to do the reg hack to allow me to update to 2.2 froyo (JPM) and while still not officially released in the uk, this is never the less an official update as it was obtained via kies (incedentially those who upgraded kies to get this rom, you dont need to, as im still running the older version and it worked fine).

first impressions of the rom were good, less lag (its still present but not to a huge degree) the new colour icons in the settings menu were a nice touch, the fact i can now switch gps on and off via the notifications bar i liked, also that it didnt wipe my data (contacts, sms, email ect, all still intact no need to back them up). but thats as far as the good stuff went.

on testing the GPS today, i started off with a stationary test (yes most people can get a lock) and to my suprise the lbs test menu is gone (why is this, this was how i would check my gps was working), so i used GPS test plus to check the data, and to my suprise it actually got a pretty quick lock to 7 sats, including 2 below 20 SNR (1 at 14 SNR, the other at 12 SNR), so i set off using my tracks to get a better idea of how it was really performing, well how can i say it that wont get me barred from facebook, IT IS STILL COMPLETELY ****** (that was my sensoring not facebooks), my tracks was all over the show, it even had me teleporting in some places, it also missed the end of the drive (attached is the actual track) by a good half mile if not more.

on the way back i though i would test out google navi, well again what can i say, im glad i know my way round as to use this for navigation would be a ******* nightmare, to start with in the first 5yrds it got the wrong location, placing me some streets away, then when it finally did find me in the right place it was then about 100 yrds behind my actual position (telling me to go right on a roundabout i had long since passed), then it was bouncing to side roads and trying to re-route me at ever oppertunity, even to a point where i was nearing my house, it decided to re-route me 1.2 miles longer than the 300 or so yrds to my house.

Samsung if you read this, which i hope you do, there is no way in the world you can call the GPS issues fixed, as if this is what you call fixed id hate to see your idea of broken. you guys need to come up with a really good fix for this, either that or your gonna get alot of ****** off customers returning there mobiles, i truely want to belive that this is just some software problems, but after seeing the way this update handles the GPS, i think there is a major hardware issue and something more you need to look into, as of right now these phones are not fit for using the GPS that is one of the major features of the advertising. You guys really do need to sort this out, and fast.

a very ****** off Galaxy S owner.

and here is said track

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U...1.561385,-1.706486&spn=0.052292,0.169086&z=13

this was done this morning, as you can see it is a complete mess, i would provide the track it shold be but i have not worked that out yet.

scratch that last comment i think the map above contains both tracks,

the blue is my tracks, the green is actual.

edit: does anyone know the samsung customer service email, i want to tell them exactly what i think.
