New update poll

Sitting in my home office, my phone is less than a foot away from the window (but 6 feet from the edge of the building since window is on a balcony) -- GPS "blue-dotted" my loc in about 7 seconds.

well first of all im just going to point out to you is that you need to give a better description on what we are voting about bc i interpreted it as were you able to download the update but i know for a fact that it is about the GPS problem

SO by going by how i interpreted it which is how i voted yes it worked for me and installed great!

BUT my gps still did not work but found a workaround on the XDA site which i posted in the GPS sticky which now i can connect in seconds unless if im in my basement then a little bit longer

Did the update. No difference for me. Can't even access the gps settings cheat screen anymore :-(

ya i know i am very picky sometimes but you can thank my math teachers for amking me like that

If you go to the GPS Fix topic in the other section i have posted a program that another user posted in there on the first post that will let you get back in until someone finds the new key

Give it a little bit to connect in the google maps like 10min and see and then exit out when it connects and after that it should connect faster

OK here goes, I had a rooted phone removed Bloatware tried to do the update and it says it failed though the versions changed and also the build. I wasn't comfortable with the update and thought it might be the root.  I took the phone back since I was still under 30 days and said the update screwed it up and failed. They replaced the phone, I got a good update. I tried maps going 8 miles away, as it loaded I had to D/L the speech piece. At that point she told me where I had to go and took me there without interruption.  I used it on the return trip and it worked well again.  Oh and Kies really sucks !

Where were you driving?  How much interference was around?  Downtown around buildings or flat open countryside?

Had my Captivate for almost a week now. used the turn by turn a couple of times when i went to austin over the weekend. worked great there. took about 30-45 seconds to generate route and my location. just checked google maps sitting in my apt. took about 5-10 seconds to tell me my location pretty freakin accurate. im also on 1st floor of 3 story. No gps problems here.
