AT&T’s Samsung Galaxy S Captivate aims to be the first to device to get an update to improve the GPS on the device. I had the same issue when reviewing T-Mobile’s Vibrant GPS and couldn’t quite lock into my position via GPS. Samsung plans to push out an update via OTA to all Captivate owners over the course of the next few weeks. Again not the Android 2.2 update, you may have been looking for but you’ll appreciate it nonetheless.
An update to improve the Samsung Captivate’s GPS performance is now available. Captivate customers will receive a notification on their device that an update is available and will simply need to download the file to update their phone. The updates will be pushed to customers’ devices over the next few weeks.
The update for the Captivate will also improve additional device functions, such as media scanning time, add the full version of Quickoffice and address Microsoft Exchange 2003 policy support.
