is it worth it?

download 'GPS status & Toolbox' from market. this works like a charm on my HTC desire and when GPS doesn't lock quickly. if this works on HTC phones with poor GPS signals, this should work on SGII as well.

I tried that when I was first testing the GPS, it never made a difference, but i'm getting some slightly better results now but still poor, I can lock upto 6/7 sats outside but they are not stable.

Still deciding whether to send for repair/replacement or not, I don't even use the GPS much but it's just annoying that it doesnt work properly.

Very weird, GPS seems to be working today, it took a few minutes but to my supprise it got a lock and stayed locked..

Those coordinates put you in the sea off Cardiff. Unless you're on a boat, that seems faulty.

I put the coordinates into google maps and it's actually not far off at all, it's jumping around a bit on Google maps but not as bad as puting me in the sea thats for sure. Where did you get that from?

I put them into Google maps ... one of us got it wrong. I say the sea, it was the mouth of the Severn rather than in the middle of the ocean. Still wet.

I know users over at xda forum are reporting the GPS on the Galaxy S II is inaccurate but it's not that bad.

I like xda forums, but they're "generally" very, very anti samsung.

I thought it was odd before I found out that, xda used to be a HTC only forum

I've got your location in a house. It seems very accurate. and it's NOT in the sea... Canton Cardiff, off Atlas Road.
