samsung released a "gps fix" today, some of their i9000 galaxy s phones. the fix is aimed at improving gps reception. reviews are mixed, and unfortunately its only available for the Captivate and Vibrant at the moment. my interperatation of this app seems to just restore factory settings, based on the statement from samsung i found. but users still seem to be giving praise to this app, saying they have faster locks, and more satellites. you be the judge


"During online surveillance, there is an abundance of GPS tweaks that impair GPS performance. Often times, no backup is performed to restore values prior to modifications. Samsung has released an application that restores GPS settings to recommended factory defaults for optinum [sic] performance."
