im running JH7 and I have left the phone outside for a hour, no lock what so ever. if I turn network AGPS on, then it gets me to within 3 miles of my location. not fun.

@fafeifa My GPS has NEVER worked on my captivate… Even with Cognition installed, still nothing. I’ve just given up any hope of having a working GPS until my next phone honestly. Oh well. don’t really use it for much anyway, so whatever.

@nippaaa The first thing you should do with your phone when you get it is completely wipe it and load Cognition onto it! You’ll have 2.2 Froyo right away

My Samsung Captivate updated tonight. The GPS location of my position is as inaccurate as before. I did not update my Wife’s phone yet. They are both equally bad as far as the GPS is concerned.

The problem is not with getting the fix. I can get an “accurate” fix within a really short time, but it’s not very consistent and the actual accuracy went from freaking terrible with the original firmware (zigzags and loops everywhere using Google MyTracks) to kind of bad with an updated firmware (still loses the lock a lot when using navigation, MyTracks is usable but can get pretty far off at times).

@SodomGomorrahWaDC If you do that then you have to look at the map every 2 seconds instead of listening for a voice to tell you when to turn

@straitupslapstick OMG no fucking ****. Go to google maps or something and look it up instead of taking your eyes off the road every 3 seconds.

If you going somewhere you’ve never been to before GPS can be a very nice thing… That’s kinda like asking why people use maps…
