It's probabbly been discussed here before but my girlfriend just got an epic and the gps is vastly superior. I mean, it locked in about 1 second indoors to 20 meters, then 8 meters the next second, then 2 meters a second after that!
Indoors!!!!
And navigation was lightning fast and flawless. None of that switching directions while stopped and recalculating.
We got hosed.

this helps us how?
it does no good to keep harping on how the sgs series in general has bad gps, and it does no good to keep harping on how the tmo-us vibrant has a flawed gps.
Really? Flaming? I was just saying how thoroughly impressed I was with the epic's gps.
Gingerbread for epic may be released soon.. Now they have a leak of gingerbread...
What about us?
Sgs2 may be coming soon stateside and we won't get it...
Geez what is this? Ughh kinda frustrating if you ask me.. Lol. Lol
You realize Vibrant and some Captivate users are the only Galaxy S users having GPS problems since it was released.
the vibrant gps sucks

Was not aware. Thought all US galaxy S phones had GPS problems.

Vibrant+MIUI
Have you tried the gps fix just posted in the development section? It works quite well for some people.

I completely agree. Huge issue with the phone.
Wow, that's not good. I wonder how long Sprint will let that happen...I mean even AT&T throws minutes around in their commercials, maybe Sprint can throw some in the bag

I can confirm this issue. I've had the phone for four hours now and time just goes by. It's really quite frustrating. Sprint better get on this immediately.
I notice the uploads are no where near EVDO RevA. I'm getting about 130 or so now up and on my Hero I got in the 600 range.

I've noticed terrible speeds on speedtest apps, yet everything loads so much faster than the hero because of the processor. Don't even notice the crappy signal as its irrelevant. Wish I could test 4G... maybe next week.

I got the phone this morning EST, and have not put the MF'r down. I saw this thread and was like wtf??? Funny stuff.
me and my co workers decided to test our phones against each other and the G2 won in every test, the phones are G2, Samsung Epic 4G, Evo 4G with Froyo. the apps we used were linpack, speed test, quadrant, maps (to see who gps locked on our location fastest) and the G2 smoked them in every test including the 4g speeds, the Evo came in second and Epic came dead last

Your right except the Epic does way better on the 3d test in Quadrant by double the fps.
Despite those good cpus scores it runs psx4droid faster without a doubt.
I also noticed galaxy s phones are able to handle webpages much more smoothly than the g2. The g2 slightly stutters on complex webpages when you are scrolling. The scrolling is not as responsive in these cases either. This is with flash disabled btw. So forget having a lot of flash stuff on the screen. Then its really slow, but lets not count that since galaxy phones dont have froyo yet.
Im almost ready to switch to the epic if only there was sprint 4g in the area I live, it wasnt so plasticy and yeah if the gps was better. Just can't have a perfect phone.
I dont know about the epic but the vibrant is getting official rollouts next week
Pretty sad that we finally got Froyo (albeit unofficial) the same week that iPhone did.

Yep, i did. Kinda interesting that iPhone got froyo before we did.
Thought there'd be a few opinions on it. If not, no big deal, that's the way forums work. You post, if people want to talk about it, they do, if not it goes away (or people who dont want to talk about it can be a smartass and keep it at the top). Not like i posted in the dev section.
wowwww iphone has froyo and my epic 4g still doesn't officially have it. (havnt made the jump into rooting yet)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I was pretty ambivalent about froyo until I learned that it was on freakin' iphones already.
Oh well.. "end of the month" they say..

it seems to me that every one is getting the update ,,,but sprint, i think they are holding back,the 2.2 update for a new pad that is coming out,
i am running the leaked 2.2.1, it works good , just a little laggy, on the home screen,
i installed this on epic 4 g
the down load speed is just a little better
the battery life is a lot better
every thing seems to work
it is very sable
i would say it is a good flash

simple google search, but what does it mean? could hell have finally frozen over? is it another ota beta leak? can i have it?
edit: disregard completely!
google said that my search result was frmo 14 hours ago, but after looking at the page more closesly it was dated from back in december. douchey move, google. douchey move indeed

And I thought the OP was late to the party...
Don't blame google. Crap websites with no hits have been re-publishing that 'story' since the third week of December to get them to the top of news sites and search results. It is a marketing strategy for weak traffic sites.
Im sick of these threads -_- everytime i see it my heart starts to race then i click on it and get sad 8(
well the op certainly lived up to his name lol
jk dude. honest mistake
haha yeah i feel pretty bad about this messup. I got so excited until i decided to recheck the page. then just an overwhelming sense of sadness and regret came over me.

I wanted to tell you guys, that you guys are pure awesomeness. I bailed on the Epic 4g a while ago when the development was at a standstill, so I went and got a HTC Evo 3D. I kept my Epic 4g, and bought the evo 3d, and I thought I was on to better, and newer things. I didn't think the Epic 4g's development was going to go anywhere, BUT BOY, did you developers prove me wrong, and I'm sure, many others too. The Epic 4g's development community is pure awesome, to say the least!
Now that I've made the switch to the MTD filesystem, my phone feels like a whole new phone, and I'm sure once all the wrinkles get worked out, it's just gonna blow everyone away.
I know all the tireless hours that go into development, and believe me, literally weeks, and sometimes months or longer, of all day sitting in front of a computer.
I just want to say to all the developers for our Epic 4g, thank you, for all the sacrifices you've made for your love of technology, and it's advancement!
And to all the trolls, who appreciate nothing, and all they do to contribute to our community is ***** and complain, you people, can go kick rocks!
Sorry for the waste of bandwidth fella's...
