GPS Issues ARE software

[Optimus Droid]

As you can see here Samsung Captivate gets GPS fix, other Galaxy S versions wait patiently -- Engadget our sister (Brother?) phone got its issues fixed via a software update! Huzzah!

Can't wait for the update for my Fascinate

Thats good to know, i never thought it was HW, but it should put some people's mind at ease.

Yeah, I'd be guardedly optimistic. There are threads over at xda saying the OTA being pushed out was already leaked and it did little to nothing to fix GPS. Who knows? Also even if the Cap gets fixed our SF might still be waiting and waiting. But yes if you are looking for hope this can give you some

Yeah, its tough adjusting the SW to fix GPS accuracy issues.... I have built GPS cards before, its a boat load of SW.

Im not holding my breath, but hopefully there is a software fix. We'll see, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't live up to our hopes. Its been a known issue for way to long to not have been fixed for the fascinate's late release if its just software.

I wouldn't either, but having worked on GPS card development, and the dev and test of the SW behind them, i can say i am really confident its not a HW issue.

Edit: IMO
