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.

Request for trade mark for the ‘Palm Pad’ filed by HP-Web OS tablet is on its way

To all the doubters of the HP tablet product which will be powered by webOS, there is some news which might just interest you. Hewlett Packard has filed for a patent for the ‘PalmPad’. You might not have heard of the company and so we have done our research so as to provide you detailed information.

HP has recently completed a $1.2 billion takeover of the Palm. The company has recently said that it will be working extra long on the webOS and they will look to bring it out on several devices like Unlocked Smartphones and computers and printers along with tablet computers. The bracket of the tablet computers is a really contested space as Apple to has vigorously into the tablet market with the entry of the iPad which has been largely successful all around the world markets. However HP can rest happy because most of the market analysts think that the PalmPad can be a good alternate to the Apple iPad. In fact the company has planned to intensify this competition by actually giving some exciting new features like frontal camera and USB inputs which are in fact not there in the primary ante to this device which is the iPad.

These are all however in the planning stage and the webOS is still being worked upon by the company under the code name ‘Hurricane’. We can also confirm that HP has been working on coming up with their tablet devices which will be able to run Windows 7 and the likes of Android such that they can put all their attention on their own software and this fact has been shown by Apple how a good device can be churned out with a good combination of software and hardware.

Although PalmPad is nice, we are actually looking forward to HP’s answer to the Unlocked iPhone 4 and the Samsung S Galaxy I9000 etc.
