To Any Modders

To anybody who's seen all the bits of firmware and pre-baked stuff or know of who and what to ask, Im curious.

Have you seen anything in the Samsung Galaxy S files which stops it from using satellites which have a 20 or less signal strength?

This can't be a hardware error, this IMHO is a bug, whether in the driver or elsewhere.

Im curious to see if anyone sees anything like this in the GPS modules for the Galaxy S.

I'd flash tomorrow (if I had my phone) and the software got this to work.

I suspect as well, the fact that the thing never uses more than 8 satellites is also problematic in that it's not impossible to go through a dark area on one side and suddenly lose lock because the phone won't lock onto a couple of other minor satellites.

I've had a quick look through the released Samsung Driver code, but, gah, none of it seems to say "Hello, Im the GPS driver"

It doesn't look like the lower-than-20 thing is fixed, only that the signal stays more stable. I wonder too why Samsung did this, and if they will fix it in a major update...
