Galaxy S Support Twitter account says OTA update will fix GPS!

http://twitter.com/GalaxySsupport
GPS + other improvements for Samsung ATT Captivate are HERE!! Look for OTA notification from ATT today thru next few weeks! #GalaxyS ^Leah
Anyone actually get gps fixes through it?

I found it on Samsung's Service Facebook page:
"Samsung Service The Samsung Captivate's GPS performance update is now available!!
Look for a notification from ATT & simply download the file to update your phone. This will be pushed OTA by ATT over the next few weeks starting today.
The update also improves other device functions, such as media scanning time, adds the full version of ...Quickoffice and addresses Microsoft Exchange 2003 policy support."
If this is just JH7, then the GPS is definitely not fixed. But, I will wait until I "officially" update to see. Hopefully someone who gets it can post it here really quick.

I updated and I can tell you that my GPS issue is 100% fixed.

I got the OTA update, and my initial tests show that GPS is... better? But certainly not 'Fixed'. After turning off 'Use wireless networks' I tried using Google Naviagation, and whenever I was moving, the position marker would start lagging behind, and then catch up occasionally.
I did get a lock within 10 seconds though.

Official Gingerbread Software Update: Droid 2 Global by Motorola

http://support.vzw.com/system_update/droid_2_global.html
YOUR DROID 2 GLOBAL BY MOTOROLA
JUST GOT EVEN BETTER.
Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a new software update, Version.4.5.600.A956.Verizon.en.US,
for your Droid 2 Global by Motorola. This update provides several improvements for your device, as
well as upgrading to the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Operating System (OS).
Droid 2 Global by Motorola
SOFTWARE UPDATE
****Lastest update 10/12/11:
Everything must be squared away now, as the new build of 4.5.608 has been approved and should be made available shortly. Normally when these support documents arrive, the update shows up within a week or so.
Letter from Motorola:
10/12/11:
Hi.
"I want to thank you for providing feedback on the Droid 2 Global Gingerbread upgrade. The feedback from Motorola Feedback Network members helped us identify a serious issue and stop the general distribution of the software before a larger number of owners were impacted. I want to personally thank you for your contribution -- it is just this kind of thing that demonstrates the value of this group.
Now we've put in the needed changes to eliminate this single serious issue and we're ready to resume the rollout. Because you provided feedback before, we will include you in the initial push and ask again for your feedback.
We will not do a private community as we think we understand the strengths and gaps of this software based on our first soak. I will be sending a survey -- maybe two -- to make sure that you are able to update, and to see that the encryption issue that caused us to delay has truly been addressed.
Expect the push of a new load tomorrow. You should see no change in how the device operates overall -- unless you encountered the encryption issue. That should disappear.
I will send out a survey tomorrow -- in the event that you have any update problems, use that to let me know.
Again, many thanks for participating in the Motorola Feedback Network. You are really making a difference.
Regards,
- Matt
Motorola Feedback Network
Motorola Owners' Forum"

VERY interested in the improvements to system stability and GSM radio .. just last week I lent my (currently idle) D2G to a friend, and now the update that sounded forever away, suddenly appears.. by the time I get around to getting the handset back, this will probably be old news

If somebody could update this thread when it's actually released, I'd really appreciate it. Would love to make a backup of my current Fusion install, SBF, and then give it a shot.

Ok here the news straight from Verizon Tech suport the update is scheduled to roll 615am cen time ...

Off network install
Will there be a way to install this update if I am not connected to the VZW network? I am currently living in Saudi Arabia (i am from Kansas(insert joke here)) and I am using the STC network with their sim card. I can not get connected wifi due to the proxy problem either.
I am able to install .apk files with android manager, but I first need the downloadable file.
Thanks,
george

i dont think so, but no worries, im sure by the time youll get a chance to install, there will be a downloadable file, if your phone has 5g you can probably download it directly to your phone.

You don't need to be on the Verizon Wireless network for the update to be able to be installed.
Any data connection, be it GSM/UMTS 2G/2.5G/3G, or WiFi, will suffice. The update process is performed over the TCP/IP stack. In case you want to get it over cellular data, you need to remember that the update is about 105MB in size.
About proxies: there are a few applications available on the market that allow you to set Android's proxy configuration, though I am not sure if these settings affect anything besides the web browser.

I'm in the Florida Keys at the moment. Nothing available here yet. I think I'll go for a swim before checking again

The update was released @ 06:15 CET and is going out in groups; grouping is probably done by device MEIDs.
You can go to a Verizon store and ask them to push the update to your handset, though.

Doses man the wait it killin me I was light hell yea when tech support said 615 lol he didnt mention nothing about being in line for it lol

Hmm going to have to SBF my phone when i get home.

How does the official update routine work?

Hi
Can anyone tell me how the official update routine works?
Where I work we have a number of HTC Radars, these were all delivered with 7720 installed, a number of these suffer from the dissapearing keypad problem, up until a few weeks ago we just connected them to Zune and they updated to 7740 then 8107 and the problem went away, now we find with any handsets we connect to Zune they check and say they are up to date (7720) - vodafone cannot identify the problem and passed us to HTC, HTC are now blaming Microsoft, I have updated one via cab sender etc and it works fine so that gives us a way forward, however I am curious to know how the official routine works so I can possibly identify who is at fault and kick some a$$
Thx
Max

[G900P][Q] Any experience with OTA CPE1 yet?

At about 5:00am today, I was notified that an Over-The-Air Update is available for my stock Sprint Galaxy S5 hardware number SM-G900P. Googling got me no info on this update, and all the info Samsung pushed on me is typed at the bottom of this post.
Has anyone let it update your phone yet?
Did anything notable change after you ran the update?
Did any settings you loved go away?
Did any new settings turn up?
What Android version number do you have after the update?
Relax, and tell us about your mother.
Anything else you feel is pertinent?
Please post on this thread to let us cautious adopters (a.k.a. chickens) get a picture of how safe (or unsafe) this update may or may not be.
Good luck, everyone!! Thanks!

i wasnt aware that a PE1 baseband was released. I guess we'll just have to stay tuned to see what info turns up
i just looked on sammobile.com, and the pca baseband was the most recent one showing there. Weirdness :/

It's only 187mb. The only difference at least for me is WiFi not turning on by itself.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

Thanks. WiFi turning itself on is really annoying. I won't miss that!
Edit: I ran the update. WiFi still turns itself on. The second warranty is up this baby is getting rooted.
Also the so-called lag-free camera which always took a long time to focus takes MUCH longer to focus now. Much. Longer.

I received the update notification but I was afraid to accept it for fear of losing root.
1) Does the update remove root?
2) If so, can the update be rooted?

Tried updating but it just boots into custom recovery. You must reinstall stock recovery to utilize update. Not worth it imho

Somebody know how to root on that build CPE1 or CPE2?

Xz3 - 52.1.A.0.672 RU version

Xperia XZ3 (H9493) - 52.1.A.0.672 - RU version
Notification seek bar bug - STILL!!! – If I’m playing media through chrome, soundcloud or another app, the notification seek bar does not work in most situations. This has been a bug since the initial Android 10 roll out and I’m still shocked that we’re still going through this.
Swipe up from the lock screen – I’ve noticed this since the update from Android 9 to 10. It used to be a quick flick of the thumb where I could go from the notifications on the lock screen to the security pattern. Now since the A10 update, I can’t do that anymore. It is a longer swipe, more exaggerated swipe to get to the security options. It was easier with 1 hand before and it needs to go back to whatever it was in Android 9
Camera – Still gives error unknown error. It’s MUCH EASIER to fix than the first and second android 10 releases but it still shouldn’t be like this. It’s at the point where I don’t know if it’s an actual software or hardware problem. And with everything that’s going on, I probably won’t be able to confirm for the next 6 months. I'll probably end up wasting$200 fixing the hardware, that was really a software issue all along.
Fingerprint – Good, I believe either at or close to Android 9 speed
Battery – Good
Networking issues – I believe better than the last update. It seems good so far so
No idea why the software version has to be in the notification quick settings. That doesn’t need to be there. It’s out of place/doesn't add value by being there
I am so frustrated by Sony. They’re taking steps to fix this but damn you should have been on the ball. I do a clean install each update because I don't trust Sony to do this correctly.
This phone is like the Renault Formula 1 team. It's a great product and each update is a step further but holy **** you all should have been a lot farther along by now. Now Mclaren (One Plus) is starting to pass you.
Edit: I forgot to add this earlier. I found a bug by random. In dark mode, About phone -> Emergency Information, the notification bar text is black. So you've got a dark screen with black text.

I still have not received an air update on my H9493. my software version is still 532.

It's possible it's a hardware problem. It happens to me too but it was worse with the initial A10 update. My understanding is if you squeeze beside the camera when turning the phone, it can solve the issue. This is because it's a possible loose ribbon.
The initial A10 release was terrible so flash up to .672 and it may fix the problem (if it's a software issue)

Hey I am also facing this problem on my xz3 dual. Failed to restart the camera is consistently occuring in the past few weeks but restarting the phone worked then. But now its been almost 2 days, camera app says unknown error, I tried everything mentioned above but still unable to resolve the issue. Kindly let me know if downgrading the firmware resolves the issue.
Thank you

Today I downgrade my Xz3 H9493 to android
9 but my camera didn't get back.So I decided
to check hardware.that is really sad.
Coz I have to take out all water proof
Seal from my back cover .After that I found
my Camera connector is loose.That's why
occurring unknowm error and after
2 or 3 days is good again.At last that is
not a software error at all.

I got error while enabling tethering
Anyone else?

I'm having signal issues. Dropping connection all the time. Latest firmware hurt this badly.
Same SIM on a Samsung A30S on android 9 works fine.
