I’ve already re-tweeted this as soon as it was announced by Samsung 2 days ago but thought it would better to re-post here given how slow things are this weekend. If you are a Samsung Galaxy S, Captivate, Vibrant, Fascinate user you’ve probably noticed that the device has a hard time locating and fixing the GPS satellites. Samsung is apparently aware of the problem and is planning to release the fix next month.My guess is that tit will probably be part of the Android 2.2/ Froyo update which is expected to be released around the same time.
