I did a quick test. By no means definitive, but it looks OK to me.

I wish mine was better. I finally got it to see 6 satellites but no lock.

downloaded the update... it's nice that it came with GOOGLE NAVIGATION but it sucks that my GPS still doesn't work... WTH!?

i wonder if it's because I did the manual fix last week. now when i try to access the LBSTestMode menu it won't let me do it. is there a new passcode to access it again?

do you guys think it overrode the fix i did last week with this update?

the only time the it locks my location is when i turn the wireless mode on which won't help me if i'm outdoors.

comment?

Did anyone do a factory reset before installing the update? My GPS seems to be unchanged (6-8 satellites visible, no lock) after the update.

Same here. I get 2 satellites, but when my screen locks, I loose them.
Also it takes about 5 min to get those 2 lonely satellites.
