Apparently the T-Mobile USA version of the Samsung Galaxy S

, the Samsung Vibrant has been suffering some GPS issue which makes the device take an eternity to lock onto a GPS signal and also incorrectly place the user’s location when a lock is achieved.

However, fret no oh Samsung Vibrant owners as according to a Tmonews article the guys over at XDA-developers have come up with a temp solution until such times as old Sammy delivers a permanent fix.

So if you are fairly comfortable in tweaking your Samsung Vibrant

, here’s how to fix that little GPS issue, otherwise if you are not too confident you will need to wait for a Samsung fix to appear…

First off disable “Use Wireless Networks”, then navigate to Settings>Location & Security> and uncheck the box next to “Use Wireless networks.” That done dial *#*#1472365#*#*, this step puts you into LBSTestMode Menu.

While in LBSTestMode menu change “Operation Mode” to MS Based, then find “SUPL/CP Settings” and change the SERVER & PORT to supl.google.com and port 7276 (DO NOT use www. in front of supl). Next REBOOT, and then navigate to Settings > Location & Security > check the box next to “Use Wireless Networks”…job done.
