Just what we need, another poll right? Just maybe this one might be worth looking at. Please read on.
Ok, so I just read a post by another member saying that they were told by Samsung that, "The update to JH7 is not complete until you have recieved a message from AT&T that you have an update available and you accept it." I read around online and have found in verious other forums people claiming that they were told that the update you pull manually from AT&T's server is somehow incomplete and that the one you recieve via the "push" is the complete one that really "fixes" your GPS.
This all sounds a little fishy. Not that people are being told this, but that it is true or not.. so just out of curiousity, I present this poll, just maybe we will see a pattern and be one step closer to sorting this all out...Especially since many of us (mayself included) seem to not be fixed.
Just maybe, this could explain why it seems to have "worked" for some and not for others. Maybe, just maybe this could explain why some peopes seems to have gotten WORSE. Maybe those that pulled it got worse because of this "other version". Maybe those who seem to be "fixed" are the ones you got the "push".
Another question would be, if this is true, for those who manually updated, would we still even recieve a notification from AT&T since we already have some version of the JH7?
Before you proclaim yours truely "fixed" be sure you have recently tested it not only in stationary tests, but on the road using navigation. Mine, and many others seem to get a quick, accurate lock while still, but driving around loses the lock and is inaccurate!
Clarification Update:
Ok, well if it needs to be more defined, maybe I can define it better. If your GPS performance improved, but it still drops lock, is inaccurate, takes long to lock or does other wierd things that hinders your ability to us it fuctionally as you would on any other smartphone with propperly fuctioning GPS, then for all intensive purposes, it sucks. If for some reason that makes someone feel uncorfortable to call it sucking instead of "less than perfect" (your vote is annonymous) feel free to not vote.
I am not looking for "sort of" fix, "almost fixed" or better. I am looking for is it working reliably and fully, or is it not, and how you went about recieving this update.
But as far as the data goes now there seems to be a reasonable amount of folks who say that they pulled the update and it works great.. Which sort of kills this "2 different update" rumor.
Perhaps the next step may be, if you updated and your GPS is "less than perfect" was your phone stock or modded in any way during or prior to the update. Just trying to nail down WHY it worked perfectly for some, sort of for some, the same for some and even worse for some. Is it totally random or is there something else going on here? If you want to participate, great, and thank you, if you do not, then please dont.
In case it is not clear what I am trying to do here, I am not trying to start a bash, troll, flame, wine thread here. I am trying to apply scientific method to the problem. Take each possible explaination, no matter how radical, and eliminate one by one each possibility, and perhaps introduce new ones until we find a possible explaination, then test it and resolve the mystery of why it works/or doesnt work for certain people... Then just maybe we can get it working for many if not all people...
