Im using FasterFix apps from Market....Aid with GPSaids....Locking when static position take half minute sometime 10 seconds or less...
Locking when moving in a car takes a minute or two....

Do you have a data plan? AGPS helps tremendously. Even without plan, you can consider using AGPS, the 1KB of data requested should cost 10 sen only.

Regardless, try these:
1) install FasterFix to change your NTP server (need root)
2) install GPS Status & Toolbox to view satellite strength, etc
3) wipe EFS data (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12764930) (I never tried this)

TBH, I never did any of those steps on SGW, becos the GPS performance is already superb. I only tried those steps on other phones with problems. SGW has one of the best GPS performance I've tried, better than HTC IS, SGSL, etc.

For me SGW have problems with Satellite Locking since it takes too long to lock onto satellites...
Compared to other phones like symbian....

What i observed is, my SGW when start up a GPS software like Sygic, the system already detect
more than 3 satellite with strong signal but still take too long time to lock on....

anybody know how to install chinese language?

Try market, or go to samsung website instead

hmm. i using papago. the detection so slow. i ord pass thru the roundabout abt 30s ago but in the map, still show me thr. beside it takes quite a long time for me to detect my location. -.-

Actually it takes a long time to lock on satellites...Im suggesting you to use Sygic instead of Papago....
Use FasterFix to change the gps.conf file...Sygic only requires internet connection at first start as to download
the maps...The file is huge though...

Im using Sygic now, what can i say, its just very accurate and locking is just faster....

faster fix? nid root phone ma?
