I managed to get a GPS Lock while on the plane (Boeing 777-200) at 6000m altitude going at 900km/h ground speed. I thought consumer GPS was not supposed to work at these speeds?

hahaha though you are asked to put the phone in airplane mode
Though what is the name of that app ??
My phone was in airplane mode. GPS works - it is an antenna (receiver) only and does not transmit any data. That's GPS Test app.
I used to do that with my previous phones (nokia N95 8GB and Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V) and they both worked fine.
I was traing last year that also but I had a Galaxy S. No fix was possible with that phone. The trip was 45min, plane landed and i could get a GPS fix in 46min.

oh, that wasn't meant to be so serious. it's rather interesting.
Probably its some bad readings, I read somewhere that GPS wont lock if you travel at a speed superior to 300+ Km/h
I did the same about an year back. Will post the screenshot, it's there somewhere on my laptop.
LOL interesting
Actually one or two people using their phones on a plane doesn't interrupt any radio data of the plane or something like that, but if everybody would use their phone, well that would generate problems. Also I'll attach a pic of sport tracker when I was skiing last week, unluckily it's in finnish but maybe you'll get something from it. For exsample top speed of 1102 km/h xD. Yeah Aparently sport tracker doesn't work very well with cm10.1. Btw sorry for off-topic

AFAIK your GPS will stop reporting at 1000km/h+, so 900 is normal.
How did you manage to get lock all the time?
I've been recently travelling from Eindhoven by Airbus A320. I managed to get fix but it stopped to receive correct data after 15 min of flight.
When I was in return to Eindhoven again I could get lock only for ~15 min too.
I used GPS status - after while it seemed app froze (same as others GPS apps) and I could get GPS data only for a few seconds few hundred kilometers futher.
After I exited the plane I could get immanent fix.
What can be wrong?

Great, Thanks...
So for those who ALL ASK ABOUT THE GPS... It works great.
It was understood that Samsung wouldn't repeat the same mistake and rectify their flaws in the next revision.
yeah agreed, I really think that samsung has learned alot from the previous generation and listened to their unhappy customers (ext4 FS, good GPS, LED Flash, etc...)
MAN!!!
This guy is having a ball playing with the SGS II and uploading YouTube videos. He is making us feel more jealous each time he publishes a new video.

Do you know something we don't? Because according to GPS Status as shown in the video (EDIT: This one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SHJ6wFi7H8) it may well be usable but it sure ain't great and no, not even for a (stationary) mobile phone.
The number of sats found is fine, but with this many sats the accuracy could be much better and, more importanty, it shouldn't fluctuate so much.
Don't get me wrong, I want it to be great as well as the next guy, but ...
What ? it finds 8 satelites and catched 5 of them while he is indoor ! just look at the second vid he even launched GPS status after a fresh reboot of the phone! what do you want it to have

I was referring to the OP's first video, not the one in #4. That one is certainly more impressive, though I wouldn't know what a good indoors lock looks like. Over here in the old world we have proper buildings and there's no such thing as an indoors lock with consumer equipment.
For comparison, the LG P500 has a lock almost as soon as GPS Status has finished loading, then the accuracy slowly gets better (typically 30-6 m in ~30 sec).

Yes I agree, I don't know how LG does it but my brother currently holds a LG G2X aka Optimus 2x. The first thing I did with his phone was open up GPS test and I locked 10/10 satellites in litterally 3 seconds after a fresh boot and the accuracy started at 50ft and after about 10 seconds dropped down to 5ft. This test was done inside my house as well. So I don't know about Samsung but LG really got their GPS **** in order.
The only thing that interests me is how does it react when tracking gps in a car.
I always get a good lock, even indoors, but as soon as I start driving the gps on my sgs shows me in another zip code.
Dont u feel gets overheated while playing games or charging or while hardcore using ur fone..Is der ny solution to this problem? I cant even make calls as the phone heats up my ear too much
It's normal that the phone gets warm when playing games or using it much...
Try find out what the temp of the phone is when it's hot...
/CK
51°C as told by elixir.is it normal?
It gets particularly hot when I browse the Internet nonstop for about 10 minutes.

I have been around 51°C, but normally around 47°C when my phone is working hard. So guess it's kinda normal...
/CK
yep, mine gets really hot when I run the WAZE app on it as well as if i'm listening to streaming music on it. Unless i hold it up to the A/C vents in the car, it will get too hot for me to put it up to my ear to make/receive a call.
I also have problems when I use it as a navigation tool on my motorbike. The waterproof sat nav case prevents circulation and after 20 mins I get a message that battery charging stopped because of to much heat. Figuring now out how to add some vent with a fan/vent.

And with current consumer Law Samsung will have an obligation to either repair or replace the device.
use your phone as normal.
Yes and the only solution it is undervolting the gpu and cpu with some app like tegrak, setcpu or cpu master
I swtiched from LR1 modem to LPT today and I swear my phone is running cooler. I've used it the same as I do everyday and I can really tell it is cooler. Although LPT is slower in speed test for me I think I will keep it for awhile.

Looks pretty much undamaged, what a durability! : DDDDDD
The funny part is that the phone still was receiving notifications until the battery was dead and the notification light was still working The lift is weigh about 6000 kg (A big one)
I just realized how much I love my phone Accidents happen - be careful next time

And here I thought when I saw the 'pickup truck running over an Xperia Active' that smartphones are becoming sturdier..
They should change the rolled over test from a truck to a lift
But seriously, 6 tons?? A smartphone would have to be made of diamond or something to withstand that.
Clearly you did not have a screen protector on it... shame on you
The magic question is... are going with the same color?

Any idea if this includes anything beyond security updates?
Usually when updates are that small the are just security updates.
Please let us know if this makes signal better, worse our same. Or whatever?
I stood on ph4 cause last update few people said they kept dropping signal. Plus ph4 working great for me as far as roms that I install on it.
But I do like to stay current if all's working great.
Thanks.
I think performance and battery are better.

So far, I've had much better GPS performance on PK1 than I had on PJ1. PJ1 had me constantly searching for GPS signal, making navigation nearly worthless. PK1 seems to have fixed whatever the issue was as it locked fast and stayed locked for both my morning and evening commutes over the past 2 days.
Update: False alarm. GPS still sucks. Took over 5 minutes to lock to a satellite today and kept dropping every minute or two.

When i check in compass altitude it is always around 300m even though i went in the mountains at approximately 1600m above sea level. It seems that altitude measurements does not work correctly. The same is with trail run. it does show correct elevation gain and loss. but just wrong altitude. i started at 1200m above sea level. it shows that I start at 350 m ?? Does anyone notice same issue?
Yes me too.
But if you wait 45s/1 min before start running when the watch is GPS ready, altitude is correct.
Here is ss of my watch. Using Bike exercise. I'm on the sea level, and watch is showing minus 43 meter.

if you tap on compass it does show air pressure. Average sea-level pressure is 1013.25 mbar. you can check there. But i don't know if altitude is then calculated based on air pressure or gps coordinates. it would be nice if it was on air pressure. but i don't see possibility to calibrate watch. I hope someone else know i bit more.
Nice.
Following the latest update 1.3.4f, I started having height measurement issues.
Up until this update all was really accurate and fine.
Any idea for recovery?
i do wait for GPS fix before starting my bike ride.
Today in a bike ride that everyone had with ~1600m accumulated, I had more than 2150m...

Well I got my Amazfit Pace today , updated to 1.3.6d, but after I just went to the cellar and climbed back the two floors to our flat, the Pace said I climbed 13 floors.
After like one hour at the desk it were 18 floors and after walking 1,5km without any hills to climb, the watch shows me I climbed 50 floors.
Is that a known issue like this one addressed here or is the barometric sensor not working properly?
I have had a few Samsung Gear Fit 2 which had similar issues with the barometric sensor.
