The GPS may not be accurate enough to sense the few centimeters you shake your hands, but your hand does indeed mess up with the gps sync because you're probably covering the gps antenna with your hand. Basically anything can attenuate a gps signal, from concrete to trees. Anything containing water will be efficient on making your gps unefficient. :)

@umloginqualquer Good points. I don't believe this to be the cause of everyone's GPS issues though. My hands just aren't that big...

[geniXD]

could it be that the galaxy S moved you all the time in the gps because you were holding it unlike the N1 that was stayed put???

[Hemorrdroidsnet]

@geniXD I don't believe so.

@janjericho123 pwnes what though? Brainwashing weak people? Yeah, I guess.

There is a hardware fix on XDA that worked for me. Converted my malfunctioned GPS on SGS Vibrant into a GPS navigation beast at least as good as iPhone 3GS GPS. Can't say it's as quick as iPhone 4, but it's very decent nevertheless after the fix.

Yh galaxy s accurate to 1 metre or so. But anyone know how i can get different voices on the satnav. Like of celebrities or something?

Does the samsung galaxy tab have a built in gps reciever or is it just using 3G for gps navigation? (such as ipad2)

Super AMOLED ftw

[isdisavailable3]

yea I have a Galaxy S and i use the gps all the time when im in the car.... mine is never wrong always spot on....love it......

Although as soon as you hold the bottom of it yes the reception is screwed cause you're covering the antennas.....

Umm you say u dont think u covering the bottom does much to the signal cause ur hands arent that big?......go in settings, about phone, status....then check the signal strength.....lower = better.....now cover the antennas....and watch the magic happen.

[chris1abramczyk]

the iphone 3gs has waaay worse gps. it is "accurate" if that is the right word.. to about 30 metres..
