A GPS software fix is now being worked upon in the labs of one of the biggest mobile manufacturers in the world

The Unlocked Galaxy S of Samsung and variants of it are all plagued with an utterly troublesome GPS problem which produces incorrect and inaccurate readings from GPS. It is not only slow in getting locks of satellite for internal GPS, but also when a lock finally is obtained, it often reports the streets as the information of location to the phoneset, sometimes it even reports some remote or distant small towns quite away from the physical location of yours. It is no where at all gloom or doom for the owners of Galaxy S, because Samsung is very much aware of this recent problem with GPS and on Friday they tweeted that they have been under the process of examining a fix of current software. It is always expected by Samsung that they will have both the instruction of installation of the patch as well as itself which will be widely available in September to be downloaded.

While waiting as you do for Samsung as to when they will actually rollout the update, a few GPS settings can be changed manually by you yourself which is deep within the specific OS we are talking about and, trust me, it will also help a lot to improve the performance. If you are not at all scared of the thing which lies behind the menu of test mode of LBS, then our detailed set of information and instruction can easily be followed by u here. We derived the instructions referred from the very folks of xda developers who could take it on their shoulder the responsibility of crafting an ultimate fix for the GPS which is ailing for the Unlocked Galaxy I9000 S. This fix has been tested by us just the last month as we found it worth to be confirmed that somehow it also works as the helper of the Vibrant of Samsung.

MSpot Now Available in Android Market

MSpot is a music streaming service, which has gained huge acclaim by users as it allows the user to access his computer, access the music library, and listen to all the music on the user’s computer from anywhere, through an Android device like the HTC Google Nexus One. MSpot is now live, and is easily available in the Android market.

To get started is very simple. The MSpot software is to be downloaded first to your PC or Mac. The next step is to give the program access to all the music that you would want to listen to. Signing up and the setup are very easy, and once all this is done, MSpot starts uploading the music that you have selected, into its library. After all this has been done, you can download this application into your Android device. But downloading this application requires that you have an Android device of the version 2.1 or higher as the new Samsung I9000.

The problem that will be there now is that, since this service is now available to all, uploading the music will take more time. Users might get notifications, saying that “due to the many new users, it may take a while to upload your library.” If you try to reload the site, the program might crash.

Well, hopefully, the big brains behind MSpot will remove these problems as soon as possible. But right now, it seems that this is not to happen. So, all we can do is wait and watch. In the meantime, there are other services to Smartphone Users which provide the same facilities as that of MSpot, like HomePipe. These other programs, on the other hand, work perfectly well. Such problems being faced by so many users could start hampering MSpot, as it is a new program. Hopefully after it has run for a few days, all problems will diminish.
