So I went through with the update to JH7 today expecting (halfheartedly) that I would finally have a fix for the nagging GPS problem on this otherwise wonderful phone. To my dismay, it soon became apparent that not only did this not fix my GPS, it actually made it terribly worse. Before the update, I could go into GPS Status and locate at least 4-5 satellites (6-7 on a good day) and lock onto about half of the ones found. I could also get a location on google maps, even if it was a few hundred or thousand feet away.
Fast forward to today and I can no longer get a single location of a satellite, let alone lock onto one, and Google Maps can no longer even find a wrong position for me. On top of that, In the new update, you can no longer locate the LbsTestMode to try to go in and make some changes yourself.
I for one think this is complete and utter BS. For such a high quality piece of hardware to be bogged-down with horrible software and support is just disappointing. This sure is making me second guess myself about choosing this device over the iPhone 4.
If anyone could chime in with their thoughts or solutions, it would be greatly appreciated.
