They could just be going off of default specifications.

IMHO, I would not purchase that thing. I think I got my GPS working perfectly, a little testy at times to catch a fix, but once it starts it works great.

Exactly my point. Maybe its worthy for someone who has problems with the gps signal.

Agreed, but many people have no idea just how difficult it is to figure out how to get a gps fix. I am not too sure how the Kaiser acts but with the Tilt it can be a hassle, especially after flashing a new rom.
I get better GPS reception from my house than phone reception
ok thanks =) saved me $30
Almost needed at times
I have almost considered the external antenna at times but then I would replace the phone first too. I guess not many people rely on GPS that much with this phone. I cannot upgrade to any newer 6.1 roms because I lose my very fast cold fix times for satellites. I really enjoy the gps and the newer roms but had to choose functionality first. Try different radios and roms if you have the patience to see what works best for you. Ive heard some users say this is more of a tilt problem than a TYTNII problem but I have a tilt so I cannot say for sure, but my gps just doesnt work as well with the newer roms. Hope this helps
which hero rom gor G1 is the better and have the bluetooth and WiFi and GPS working

No damn it! Why do you need to read when you have a "Create new Thread" button?! You can just get other people to read for you!
can u tell me which rom is better including BT wifi GPS
I call this to be locked lol. READ. For god sakes. It's all a personal opinion. NONE OF THE HERO ROMS HAVE BT. Maybe if you read you wouldn't have asked the question at all. Or read any of the posts for that matter.

every hero rom that has been released has 100% working bluetooth, but you must fail horribly if you cannot get it to work.

1 word, awesome! LOL!
I think JesusFrekes Hero was the best. BT and BT transfer were wonderful. As well as multi-touch and flash. My opinion tho.
YAY!!!!!
All Hero's have working WiFi and GPS, none have BT ><

Hi Vibrant owners!
I made a post over in the Captivate forum about how we can configure the GLGPS daemon in our phones (this is used to control the GPS behavior)
Attached are some update.zips with a new glgps daemon pulled from the Nexus S, secgps.conf and a jupiter.xml configuration inside. The GPS chipset is common among all SGS models, so this should work for you. Please try it, feedback is appreciated!
Sweet!
Sent from the helm of the vibrant Galaxy S!
I thought the vibrant does not use the jupiter.xml
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I know at least one model of Vibrant does (Bell), not sure about the others (CDMA does not I believe)
With the vibrant froyo leaks, we now use gpsd and jupiter.xml Samsung decided to make it the same across the board. At least for the i9k, cap and vib. Not sure aboit the epic and fascinate though

i really don't understand these "fix your gps" threads. Hasn't it already been fixed a while back with the newer 2.2 roms? Mine is just fine now.

Wow. Your like saying that people doesn't have to fix their gps if yours has been already fixed.
im saying if you've upgraded to a new rom like most here then it should have been fixed. what kind of fix are you expecting a 100/100 Sat lock the instant you turn on the GPS app?

Yeah it should have been fixed, but to some it isn't. Maybe because of the hardware or other issues.

I'm not expecting that, we all just want it to be usable like having a better accuracy.
sorry it's getting late and my brain is not fully functional ^_^ though it is sorta confusing how the same hardware can produce different results with the newer 2.2 roms.
It's not the same though.
The antenna got revised in October 2010. See the post about the gps fix in the Vibrant general forum.

ic... that's even more depressing lol. you would think a newer antenna would fix it.

It seems the newer antenna did fix it - the older design is unreliable so "identical" hardware can have different GPS performance depending on how much the connection has worked loose.

if you compare to HTC model like HD2, you will see that vibrant is very slow altough gps is fixed...I once use htc hd2 with MDJ mod for android GPS is real fast, never more than one minutes from start ( case compared when u totally delete gps data) I don't know how HTC did it...just for your guy to concern
My GPS has never worked and I've tried every ROM and every fix. Sure I can get a lock on 8 of 12 satellites, and I can easily get 10 foot accuracy. As soon as I try to use Navigation, it sucks. It'll jump around by a few feet here and there, and that's enough to totally throw off the navigation. All of a sudden it thinks I'm the wrong street and its telling me to turn around.
im sorry guys, that sucks. mine has been fine for a while now. and i navigate quite a bit as I am new to Cali. Initially it truly pissed me off when I was on 2.1, telling me i'm staying on the highway when i infact took the off ramp etc... lol. I'd get a replacement.
Can anyone ever say the word GPS without sending everyone into a pissing frenzy?
BACK ON TOPIC:
OP which one do you recommend starting out on for us Vibrant owners?
I highly.. very highly recommend Sombionix' Nero 3. I've used a lot of roms and this one is very very fast. And I usually refrain from saying "fast" because most phones are initially fast when new roms are installed but this one definitely deserves it even after massive app installs and use.
I tryed out the google version and it killed my GPS it sees 12 birds but won't connect to any.
Which do I install? I have a Tmobile Vibrant. You have 3 files listed. Thanks.
I had the captivate before but traded it for a BB torch for the sole reason of the gps issue ... Is the a real fix yet for the captivate and if so were and how?
No real "fix" issued.

If you are willing to flash custom roms hours is fixed, not complete fix, but working well
I get lock in under 10 seconds within 10 meters, and tracks well with little bouncing

Welcome back!!! I've found several ROM's that have great GPS. Not 100% but good enough for me.
I get a fairly quick lock on my stock ROM. I got one inside last night, so I certainly can't complain about GPS issues.
My captivate from rogers has never had any gps issues

If u r planning to get the refurb pieces or current versions, Samsung seems to have corrected the GPS issue. Mine is a refurb I got under warranty exchange with batch code 10.07, and has GPS working fine.

I have a 1007 and have never had an issue with the GPS other than needing ot reset it after a ROM install.
Also hear these things are hard as hell to brick.
