Well, I've got my replacement and I /think/ it is better, though its hard to properly compare due to differnt cloud cover etc. I've not uses 'my tracks' yet, but it does seem to pick up more satellites more quickly and give accuracy of 5-10m in gps test - strength is 25-35, but does jump about . Can you get better than 5m resolution?
This is using the orignal jf3 firmware.
I suggest that if you have problems you make note of how many locks and what accuracy you get in different conditions then see about a replacement.
Orange UK had a fault code for GPS issues, which I quoted to get a replacement.
Also, the new phone doesn't creak at the top of the silver surround

Hi,
I have a JF5 build Galaxy S and my GPS readings ar very similar to yours, seems to work fine at the application level as long as you have clear sky but side by side with my old touch HD the HD locks much quicker and holds on to the satellites better, the GS seems to periodically lose satellites for a few seconds ..baseband cell updates creating noise I wonder and dropping the SNR? Other than these blips SNR levels seem much the same on both devices.
