Step 2. Open the dialer (the green phone button) and enter the following: *#*#1472365#*#* . Doing this will get you to a menu which allows you to change the default GPS setting programmed by AT&T.

Thanks everyone! I love my Galaxy but was getting perturbed at not being able to use the GPS function. After following these steps I now am even getting a fast lock INDOORS when I couldn’t even get a lock outdoors before. AWESOME!! Thanks again!

this was an excellent thread.. i wasnt using my GPS since june 2010 and this helped me get a clutch on the settings. thanks to all those who posted abt the ‘SUPL/CP Settings’ in the LBSTestLab menu. i just changed the setting to ‘auto config’ and it was through. i dint set anything else in any other option in this menu.. hope you all have a good time with your positions thanks again..

And already I”m seeing results, I’m no longer in the middle of the mountains in no where land, but in fact sitting at my desk at work.

I hope this continues to work. I bought this phone for the GPS ( I guess I should have read more reviews) for the Geocahcing apps that require it!

Thanks for all the help!!!

The fix worked for me, but it only seems to get as accurate as 4000m. Could be my location? havn’t tried it outside of home yet
