When my GPS is switched on, the GPS symbol will keep blinking at the status bar on top, even though no apps are using it (or so I thought). And when I open google maps and try to lock my position, it says location not available. Something wrong?

Hi lobo76,

Ok i manually shut down applications individually and managed to stop it from blinking but is still not able to get a lock on the position via maps. And yes doing it indoors. It is also the first time I am trying to get a lock after upgrading firmware, I suppose that is the reason?

I think for GPS, you need to do it with a clear view of the sky from your phone. Doesn't really work indoors.

yes, need to be outdoors for it to work properly. If you enable wifi (even if there is no wifi), it is supposedly helpful in getting a faster lock as well.

We will get it eventually after Samsung think the firmware is stable enough for our local use. By then the ice-cream melts and we get milkshakes instead. :)

Can install this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154278&highlight=jkay

However you will need to root the phone. If you do not want to root the phone, you can go to market for apps like battery monitor widget https://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.bmw&feature=search_result. For this app, you will need to go to "status & Alarm and select "Notification Packages". This is allow you to install different package which will display the battery % at the top left corner of the screen.
