Well it proves one thing doesn't it? You lack the quality of character to admit when you are
wrong. LOL. And your original post was dripping with sarcasm no matter how much you now try to disguise that fact.
Not to worry though, my "panties were never in a bunch." Trust me, I did
not do the screen shots for you.
Normally I wouldn't dignify your lame and sarcastic post with a response. It was only because Sammy V and Robinelli wanted to see the results that I did the screenshots.
Clearly you are putting too much stock in these free aps like GPS Test if you are basing your entire GPS reality on the accuracy estimates contained therein. In
real world GPS tests the Vibrant's GPS in conjunction with Google Maps has worked for me and others. But of course you are in denial. Want proof of your denial? You mention my test accuracy to within 50 feet but overlook the test accuracy on the subsequent screenshot (posted at 9:49PM) to less than half of that (24.4 ft).
Fact: Immediately upon installation and start of GPS Test I got a lock on 4 birds.
Fact: I shot, uploaded and posted a photo of that GPS Test screen.
Fact: I went to Google Maps and the blue arrowhead indicator nailed my position PRECISELY in the location of the room where I was located. I trust the "accuracy" estimates in GPS Test about as far as I can lift my SUV. [Who cares about the accuracy estimate if the indicator matches my location on Google Maps to within inches?]
Fact: On my subsequent running of GPS Test I got an instant lock on 3 birds and the "accuracy" ESTIMATE contained in GPS test was improved by 50% (down to 24.4 ft indicated). HOWEVER, I must point out that in both cases the location indicator on Google Maps nailed my position to within a foot. After all, isn't it most important what the GPS does in real life applications rather than a testing ap?
Fact: In spiz's post of 11:02PM (PST) he's locked onto 2 birds with an indicated accuracy "estimate" of 17+ feet, YET with the indicator on his Google Maps NAILED his location.
Fact: Not once has my Vibrant's GPS failed to lock. Sometimes it locks immediately, sometimes it takes up to a minute. But then the same is true with my dedicated Garmin GPS.
Fact: Not once has my Vibrant's GPS failed to navigate precisely to and from my destination.
Fact: Not once has my Vibrant's GPS dropped connection to the GPS system while in use.
Fact: I have not done any "fix" to my GPS.
And finally, I never said I was "unaffected by the problem," (except in the practical sense that my GPS works whenever I use it), in fact, if you had bothered at all to read my response to Sammy V's post and screen shots of his HTC GPS results you would have seen that I acknowledged that there still must be an issue or I would have had more birds locked.
My post at 9:49 PM PST contained the following:
Furthermore, I also posted in this thread the results of my conversation with the manager of the Tmo store where I purchased my Vibrant. In that post I clearly acknowledged the GPS problem and that the store manager said his phone had a GPS problem but there was an impending fix. How can anyone interpret this as "denial?"
Here's a thought kbo, if your Vibrant is so bad get rid of it! Doh...
And good luck with your next phone/GPS!
I have no problems at all admitting when I'm wrong. As a matter of fact, here's the perfect example of this:
...whatever she is smoking...I want some!!!!
