Hi Everyone, My trust old nokia just broke and I was thinking of getting a new android phone as a replacement. I am stuck in between SGS and DHD. Since Im just planning to use it for a while before I upgrade to the newest Dual Core models. I was thinking of the SGS instead with the really nice Amoled screen. However, I keep hearing that the SGS has the GPS issue and need to use custom ROMs and fixes. Sounds like a lot of work to do when you get it new. And I really need a GPS Navigator too so I can't make do without it. Would love to hear about this issue from current SGS owners. Thanks in advanced!  |

QUOTE(coD33 @ Feb 18 2011, 11:16 PM) Out of box, dhd has the better gps reception compared to sgs. Even after the gps fix (hardware, software, modem, file system), dhd still has the better gps reception. True the gps on sgs sucks, but it is still usable. I can live with it, some can't. I use it whenever i can't bring my trusted garmin nuvi with me from point A to point B firmly. If u plainly want to use it along with gps, u better think twice. If u have unlimited data plan (using a-gps) instead, there won't be any gps issue. Wait a minute. Are you saying that all the GPS issues that the SGS is having is because it is slow in sat-lock by itself but if with A-GPS it works like any other phone? Wow, if that is the case then the SGS would work well. Smartphones are supposed to be used with internet anyway. |
