GPS issues on the Infuze?

[PM-Performance]

Anyone having problems with GPS locking signal on their Infuze? I haven't had time to mess with it yet, but my GF complains that her GPS signal never locks in with her Infuze. She said When it finally does, she is already at her location if she kind of knows how to get there.

Any known issues with this?
I was going to blame the area, but my GS2 Picked up right away in the same area last night. I did a quick test the first time she told me and it seemed to pick up quick, but I saw the problem first hand last night

Is it rooted? Different Rom?

Did you try searching for help? Give it a try.

" Go to the phone app and dial *#*#3214789650#*#*. The Angry GPS configuration app will open. Clear GPS data and back out. It may help to reboot after doing that as well" -gtg465x

I don't have problems with mine not locking. Mine has done pretty well and I bought it a couple days after it came out

Ill try those instructions. After I posted this I sat on Google for awhile and found tons of reports of problems for GPS on S series phones. Infuse aparently being a big talker ,.
I tried some steps similar to above, but not as detailed and didnt work. I will retry those tonite with the more detailed steps and see if it helps.
I guess if that doesnt work I will return to ATT tonite.

Oh and not rooted. I saw some issues that were ROM based, but this is stock as can be, Only like 2 weeks old. I didnt think much of it the first time she reported it, but when I saw it in action after I saw how quick my S2 picked up, i decided to start looking into a fix for it.

@Stonecold: MY Infuse has always locked in well on GPS but it often gives a location that's about 200-300 feet away from where I am. This can be really frustrating when I'm in Navigate driving down a highway and it's continually saying, oh look you are on a little side street, here's how to get back to the highway. And then oh look you are on the next little side street. :-{

So, I tried out clearing GPS data as you suggested. No difference. So then I rebooted. Since then I have not been able to get a GPS lock. I tried looking up how to use Angry GPS in XDA but mostly I found people saying "What is this" "Can I delete it" and "What happened to lbtest?" but nothing I can use.

Do you have any suggestions? I'd love you to tell me what to do about my problem but a good alternative would be a pointer to somewhere that explains Angry GPS.

rooting and modifying gps.conf mad a HUGE difference for me!

Just did the above How to and gps is almost instant now. where i have not had a single lock since i bought the phone in July.

I just returned the phone. I couldnt even get back into the dialer code from the link above anymore.
Got something else. Its a shame because I did like that phone.

Samsung changed the code to LBSTest settings. A little annoying seeing as i paniced a little when the code didnt work. ha. No big deal though. Now I can run up and down the streets of Munich acting like a fool running from invisible Zombies. Kind of a fun game now that i could actually try it. Zombie, Run! is the name of the app. Makes my walks to the train a little more adventurous.
