So, I was wondering if anyone has yet tried pulling the GPS fix that Samsung sent out for the Captivate and trying it with the Fascinate. Shouldn't be too difficult, as the GPS hardware for the different Galaxy S variants SHOULD be almost 100% the same.
Might be worth a look, just a thought.

Yeah, never even thought about it. Definitely try it out. You know how to do that right? Shouldn't be too difficult.

Someone would need to take a look at the OTA for the Captivate to see what we need, but yeah, pushing the needed files would be the next step. Seems simple enough.

Getting Google's home and fixing a gps are two very different things, but I get where you are coming from.
Does the Captivate gps fix involve a tweak to their radio as well? If so, I can definitely understand why that wouldn't work for us.

this was a result of Samsung posting that ATT had fixes in the works and myself and others went off on their facebook page. Samsung shortly like 3 minutes posted that they are working with ALL carriers on a fix.
I didn't see them tweet or post about Froyo, but that they are working on fixes
Meh,
This has pretty much become Behold II 2.0
I guess we were warned by Behold II owners.
meh it could mean months for all we know..... unfortunately. If the gps/compass is fixed, i will be a happy camper, I can wait for froyo.

Why don't you fixed the problems yourself. 1. root your phone, 2. install lagfix,
3. install gps fix. You may not want froyo after all.

Well, some people may not want to root -- either don't know how, or feels it's "illegal," or don't want to run the security risk.
In practice, even with lag fix, the phone still freezes on occasion (usually when a call comes in, which means I can't answear it, or when trying to unlock. It's rare, but it shouldn't be happening.
We paid our $$$, now the ball's in Samsung's court.
Sounds to me that this update that the Captive got didn't improve the GPS much. Some even say its worse after the update. MAYBE, Just maybe. T-Mobile had to see where these updates went and Then fix it before we get it. Then when it works on the vibrant we can be happy?

LOL. You have a lot of faith in T-Mobile. More likely they are lazier and don't work on weekends or overtime....
I am starting to fear that it's possible the compass (and possibly the GPS) is a hardware issue.

Wow, if you're sure it can be done easily from the Nexus S dump then it must be true. Someone who can make a statement like that must have the expertise to whip up some drivers for our CDMA radio, wimax, and all the other stuff that is different in the Epic from the Nexus S. Let me know when all this "pretty easy" work is done so I can flash it.

Really surprised to hear that they would push a PRL out that way. It's annoying and unnecessary, and even potentially dangerous I would think if it interrupts a call!

If you have issues with something this insignificant, you might wanna get out more. It took a grand total of 10 seconds and didn't impact anything.

I'm usually eager to get PRLs which are new, actually, but yeah thanks for being concerned about my social life.
I just think it's stupid to push them, because if people's phones are working acceptably with reception they shouldn't be forced to "upgrade"--it wouldn't take you long to find folks who report better results with older PRLs on here, and not everyone will be able to find out how to manually roll back to an older one and succeed.

99.9% of users don't even know what PRLs are, so they have to be pushed, or else those people would be using outdated PRLs. And therein lies a real safety concern.

All source does is make it easier for the devs...they can do without source, but they'd have to write evrything from the ground up, which, funnily enough, should've been done by now if the cm devs didn't keep falling back on the sauceline.
But its completely understandable. Its like when I used to play pokemon yellow. I've gone through mt.moon numerous times without flash, but flash makes it A LOT A LOT A LOT easier,so I go and get it.

FYI we need a donor device to get UnBrickable Mod onto Epic.
I thought I found someone but haven't heard back from them in a while.
BTW, "donor device" means a device which will have it's CPU (destructively) removed to find the correct pins and do the mapping.
See here for more info.
Keep an ear out for any dead / bricked Epics that someone might want to donate to the cause.
