It would be nice to see this roll out with Froyo for all carriers. Too bad Froyo wont come sooner but we will get it soon enough.
Definately sounds like it will be implemented in the 2.2 update. Hopefully the earlier part of September opposed to the later.
Don't worry, if by OTA through AT&T, I am sure we won't see anything until Halloween...
They may surprise me, but I kind of hope the update gets done through some sort of direct download. Rolled up with Froyo I'll bet AT&T will be sure to man-handle it though...

They had a similar tweet from @samsungservice earlier today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it comes sooner rather than later.

Translation: "Please don't take your phones back! We'll fix it, honest!"
The problems must have been more major than I would have expected from their end. Even with plodding development and carrier meandering, there should have been months of advance notice of the GPS issues due to the foreign Galaxy S release, and I'd imagine AT&T would be all-too satisfied to roll it out quickly given the complaints about it.

Thought I'd share this with you guys. I recommend sending out a similar email so that they know that there are serious concerns about the phone. I did it online at the Contact Us page on the Samsung website.
Here's what I wrote:
Hello,
I recently purchased a Samsung Captivate. Overall, I am quite pleased with the device. However, there are a few things that irritate me about it that I was hoping you could comment on:
1.) There is a serious lag issue. Do a quick google search and you'll find that this is a universal problem with the phone.
2.) The GPS does not work. Also a universal issue.
3.) No 2.2 Froyo.
4.) No last.fm scrobbling support for the default music player (which I love by the way!)
5.) Drivers for Windows 7 x64 do not work well. After a lot of trial and error, I finally got it. Again, a universal issue.
A lot of people complain about the TouchWiz UI, but I personally enjoy it, as long as the lag issue is taken care of. Also I'm pleased with the phone call quality, and almost all other aspects of the phone.
I appreciate your time, and hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you,

Here is the response:
Dear [thecoolestcow],
Thank you for your inquiry.
Regarding the GPS on the phone, Samsung Mobile is aware that under certain conditions, the GPS on our U.S. Galaxy S devices may not be meeting performance expectations. We are diligently evaluating the situation and will provide an update as soon as possible.
We advise you to use assisted GPS powered by your service provider.
We still don't have any update regarding the release of the Android 2.2 for the Captivate and the drivers that will be compatible with Windows 7 64bit.
We will forward your report of this behavior along to the appropriate parties for additional review and consideration.
We are unable to speculate when/if this software revision might be available due to the fact that this might lead to inaccurate information and confusion.
Should this become available, it will be posted on our website in the Samsung Download Center.
Please feel free to check back with us periodically for updates.
Should you desire additional assistance resolving this, we invite you to call Samsung Customer Support by phone at our toll free number 1-888-987-4357 between the hours 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday, Central Standard Time.
Thank you for choosing Samsung.
Sincerely,
Technical Support

man I just dont see this lag yall are talking about... Had the phone since day 1, no lag fix and its fast as my n1 on 2.2. about.. Wierd...
Also GPS does work, just not reliably all the time, some works fine, others not, others sometimes.. So saying it dont work is exadurating. I just dont want people that dont have one think that the GPS dont work. It does and I use it everyday without issue. No fixes or anything, mine and some others works...
2.2 froyo will be here soon. Hold your horses on and it will be here next month I will bet...
I didn't see the lag either for a while, but I see it in most of the Samsung native apps, like Messaging and the screen unlock.
GPS also used to work amazingly. It just stopped completely now for me.
It's good though that they acknowledged in the email that they were going to release a fix for it.

Yea, Well Im certain it will be fixed. The samsung epic 4g is rumored to have a working GPS (more testing needs done for me to believe it for sure) and if we have the same hardware gps wise as the Epic 4g we should definatly see a fix...
Nice, Engadget confirms.
engadget.com/2010/08/18/samsung-says-gps-is-tested-and-validated-on-epic-4g-our-testi/
There is most certainly lag. Like you guys, it wasn't a big deal until I saw the lag fix.
Long story short, I've been running the lag fix about a week, then borked my phone with another tweak and had to revert back to stock. HOLY COW was that thing slow... I never really knew any different until I had seen greener pastures
I will say I don't think the DEFAULT lag is worse than any other phone on the market. But it is capable of much, much faster.
Also you forgot to include the complaint that MMS doesn't work on EDGE, only 3G.

Which lag fix did you use? I saw several. I haven't rooted my device yet because I'm a little girl. I'm trying to gather as much info as possible first.

Well I did all my tweaks manually the first time. However when I borked and started over I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751934
That will do all necessary tweaks at once. Just download the update.zip file to the root of your INTERNAL card, reboot into recovery mode (ask if you don't know how... easiest way is to use ADB), and select "reinstall packages" and you're done.
Just check the post I linked to, but it'll remove all the ATT crapware, remove the loud startup sounds, install root, block ads, etc.
After it's ran you then can go into the app it adds and run the lag fix... After you run that script it needs a reboot... And then you've got a lag fixed phone that runs twice as fast. ROM Manager, for instance, takes like a whole freaking minute it seems to open un-lag-fixed. Lag-fixed it takes several seconds max.

NP.
I'm happy with 2.1 right now... I mean the Captivate at 2.1 runs faster than anything else on the market, including the N1 2.2......
So I can live with 2.1 until Samsung releases 2.2
Once you see how much faster it is with the lag fix, you'll start to wonder how much faster 2.2 will be. The Captivate will be untouchable.
There is definitely significant lag on the stock firmware - most notably for me with the marketplace but s also for some other apps when they are loading data. I haven't applied any fixes yet as I'm waiting for a decent firmware update before I do too much with my phone.
JH2/3 are looking like good bets, but I would suspect that an official firmware is right around the corner given the few changes between JH2 and JH3.

Why wait? It takes 5 minutes to vastly improve the usability of your phone.
And worst comes to worst, you use the Odin3 one-click to restore it to stock. Seems pretty awesome. I'll probably be "super-rooting" tonight!
Also to note you should only be doing that super-rooting from stock to start with... It's the most reliable method anyway. You can try it from what you've got but- if there's issues you just need to do it from stock.
Hm. And there's no way to back up my apps/data right?

Yes, download ROM Manager but you need to be rooted first I think... So you can root your phone only (same process but it just does rooting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725555), download/install ROM Manager (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734163). Then when you reboot into the ROM Manager recovery screen there's nandroid backup utility that'll back up everything.
If you like selective backups of stuff you can also use Titanium Backup (also requires root).

GPS does NOT work. It barely functions, so it does not work. Anybody that says it does is just trying fool themselves into thinking they didnt make a mistake. GPS absolutely does not work. Its been documented by numerous sources and tens of thousands (or more) vibrant and captivate users here in the US. For Christ's sake, even Samsung has admitted that it doesnt work. They've used incorrect drivers from Broadcom, so it can't possibly work.
Samsung may release Froyo to the carriers toward the end of next month, but it'll be quite a while before AT&T releases it to us. They have to go through and add all their crapware and remove any functionality that's in the stock rom that they can charge money for (this really pisses me off I REALLY, want that wifi hotspot functionality!!!) and they have to cripple the kernel and radio so there'll be no HSUPA.

We're about a month after release and have Vanilla Android 2.1 ROMs, so chill out. Have some patience, I'm sure we'll see them for 2.2 as well.

Mine works and so do others in those thousands of people threads. If you would like I can copy n paste them for ya...
Its directed me to many places perfectly so it works, its just unreliable and not the best, hence needs to be optimized ...
now post a link where samsung admitted using incorrect drivers? I've never saw that...
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/22/samsung-captivate-gets-gps-fix-other-galaxy-s-versions-wait-pat/
"An update to improve the Samsung Captivate's GPS performance is now available. Captivate customers will receive a notification on their device that an update is available and will simply need to download the file to update their phone. The updates will be pushed to customers' devices over the next few weeks.
The update for the Captivate will also improve additional device functions, such as media scanning time, add the full version of Quickoffice and address Microsoft Exchange 2003 policy support."
Fingers crossed, that this already hasn't been leaked, torn apart, and found useless...
Its probably the JH7 OTA that they started rolling out yesterday, not a new separate fix...has anyone that received the OTA updated noticed any difference on the GPS?
I saw a few ppl that got the update say the GPS is the same as before.
I wouldn't trust Engadget for anything GPS related. They botched Galaxy S reviews so many time on the GPS topic:
1. They said GPS works just fine when they review Captivate and Vibrant.
2. They said all you need to do to fix the GPS is just turn on the 'Use Wireless Networks' in Location and Security settings because Samsung told them so.
3. They said EPIC 4G has GPS all fixed out of box, again because Samsung told them so.
4. Now, again, they claim the latest JH7 update fixes GPS because, again, Samsung told them so. Never mind AT&T itself never mentioned any GPS fixes in its release notes.
Yea, I re-read the update discription that was posted on a couple of other android sites, and it sounds just like the JH7 ...
Damn
I am downloading and updating now.. will see.
Yes, they are wrong again. Well, I wouldn't put the blame on them 100%, since I believe that letter came from Samsung PR (who know nothing tbh).

Engadget does suck. All those aggregate tech sites suck at everything, but stealing good sites articles.
I am happy about quick office though. I really hope custom roms don't rip it out as bloat.
This site is claiming that the update DOES fix the gps, and has video:

The site says they are doing more testing and update the results by 2PM. The video only shows a GPS location fix by standing still, not driving around. My JH7 can do that w/o problem either but when driving, it is all over the place.
What is the csc version after the update?
I have had jh7 for over a week, it is an improvement but not a fix

And yes, it is jh7. Which has bad ass GPS when I use it.

I unrooted to give it another shot and just learned of the "check once/24hrs" deal. Bull****! Thanks ATT
I am downloading now. It is taking quite a while (out in the wilds of KS we only get EDGE speeds). Does anyone know if this will work if I am rooted? I didn't un-root, and the last time I did a backup was Saturday. I suppose I won't lose much if it craps out.
mine is stuck at "Communication in progress" it just loads....
If anybody has successfully done the OTA update, can they please post the stock JH&GPS settings from the LBSTEstMode menu?
Has anyone tried Keis?
I have email both Samsung and ATT along with live chatin with both also. Email responces for both Samsung and ATT have been the same both times to an extent. What i did learn was with the live chat. ATT's live chat although pretty much the same as the email. The tec i talked to couldn't tell me when but he did shead some light on something which i didn't know. According to the tec ATT really doesn't have anything to do with the release and update. Here i thought from everything i have been reading it's been ATT draging their feet thats not the case. So Got a responce from Samsung asking pretty much the same thing i did in the ATT email. Asked when the 2.2 android update would be out. Coarse got back the same as i normaly did stating their working on bringing the best experence with the upgrade and download that they can. So it's coming. What i also did was added how the ATT tec said ATT doesn't have anything to do with the release and when it will be out. Samsung didn't correct me about this. So send all emails to Samsung maybe they will get tired of all the questions and be able to give us a time frame.
The response you got from Samsung is the same they have been throwing out for months. The AT&T reps are trained to always say it is not their fault.
Think what you want, but Samsung passed Froyo build to AT&T a while back, and AT&T is sitting on it. We have a Beta from October to prove that - it has all the ATT&T bloatware.
Unless you talk to a manager that knows about software releases (not a customer service person) you will only get canned responses.
Like every topic of this nature that has been posted and what the person above me said most of the people you talk to make it up as they go. At&t us the culprit behind the laggy release but of course they will tell you otherwise. What is the difference between a rogers and att phone that makes it samsungs fault?

Process =
1. Samsung readies firmware and gives to the carrier. ATT likely has had the firmware in hand since late November (the same time samsung gave it to T-mobile).
2. generally takes carrier 2-3 months to customize the firmware/test/lockdown features/install their bloatware etc. ATT definitely holding it back at this point but i think it will arrive sooner rather than later. I would say Verizon and ATT both got their firmware at same time as t-mobile they have just taken longer to finalize the update for the push. In ATT's case i would suggest it all hinges on them trying to lockdown the native MobileAP feature so you have to use their App with paid tethering.
2 cents.

Seriously. What's not unhelpful is out of date.
IT is getting increasingly galling at this point. I love how when you write to Samsung and ask, they say they can't provide an answer because it would lead to speculation and inaccurate information. But of course it's exactly yhe opposite that is actually true...
There is zero point to speculating/complaining about the lack of an official Froyo update. I'm not saying I don't sympathize, just that it's non-productive.
Samsung won't speculate because AT&T is sitting on this... here is more proof:
http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-...ncharset=UTF-8&solutionId=KB115196&isSrch=Yes
The title says it all "Send, Receive, or Delete a Picture, Audio or Video Message (MMS) with the Samsung Captivate (i897) with Android 2.2"
And Samsung's tweets to me confirm it... when pressed - they specifically said 2.2 had not been released to "Captivate Users".
I have always maintained that AT&T is sitting on the release. Why, I am not sure, but the fact that numerous support pages reference 2.2 indicates that they geared up to push it out a while ago - that means stable builds have been available or they would not have made support pages that have very specific screen shots.
I sent them an email a couple of days ago explaining crap thats going on with the phone and how Froyo 2.2 would from what i understand fix most of the problems etc etc. I just wanted to try again to find out about a date. Well i got an email back from tec. upport saying they are glad to announce that the 2.2 update IS available and to call their 800 number for help if i had problems installing. but clicking on the link just brings me to the old FAQ page that they took down. Come on Samsung get a freaking clue. I don't understand why they would send this out and not be true?????
(so maybe things will be rolling out today then because after rereading email i noticed their central time which is 3 hours behind me. So right now my time there still closed) Fingers crossed
Ok so just got of the phone with Samsung. Acording to them and the information they have in their office Froyo 2.2 IS OUT but because theres a problem with the site we don't can't download it yet lol Samsung needs to really get an Fing clue.
I'm pretty sure you need to install that with Kies Mini if it is, indeed, available.

Nothing showing up on Kies Mini eather. So again am hoping that things will start rolling out as soon as they open at 9 central time.
I saw another post at AT&T official forum about multiple Samsung reps claim the 2.2 for Froyo is avialable and directed to the same link. Looks like Samsung already trained or released information about Captivate 2.2 release internally, a bit prematurally. So, it seems our UCKB1 ROM will be the official ROM after all. It is just waiting for AT&T to give the final nod.
<--- not holding his breath... Plus, the more I think about it, at this point... What's the point? I mean, 2.2 is rapidly aging and I'm not aware of any newly released devices coming out with 2.1 anymore - They've all got 2.2, which means that 2.3 is the next step.... and with the excellent development we already have, running stable 2.2 is already a reality! I want the update just so the companies are held to their promises, but as for an official 2.2; I'm not going back to ATT bloatware and half ass GPS.
Tried OTA update and it just hung......
I tired to go into media hub yesterday just to see if i missed it being fixed and it hung on checking for update. Checked phone for OTA and it also hung on checking for update. funny thing is about 4 days ago everything was working just fine. Im about to get on the phone with ATT and ***** about the email and when samsung opens and nothing happenes today will be on the phone *****ing about sending false emails to people.
So basically Samsung has just changed the lies from "It will be out soon" to "It's out now but you can't have it"! Way to go Samsung!
UCKB1 has a working media hub. If I were you I'd just install that. It'll probably end up being the official build anyhow.
Bunch of crap Samsung is. wow.....
Just got done talking to live support. what a joke. i have a dam email saying it's out. if you call and talk to someone they say all the info they have says it's out but live says its not and gives you the say crap as before about no info right now. Someone over there needs to get their head out of their ass and get a CLUE.
