Captivate - Gingerbread 2.3 - AT&T Community Support
Captivate - Gingerbread 2.3 - AT&T Community Support:
'via Blog this'
The fix for GPS on the Captivate is simple - it took me a long time to find it. AT&T was no help. All they did was tell me that they don't support GPS on the Captivate - a total bu**s**t response. If that's the case, how can they charge you a monthly fee for navigation/maps??????????
All you have to do is download the Any Cut application, open it and create a shortcut to the activity Lbstestmode, then open Lbstestmode and click on SUPL/CP Settings and change your server to supl.google.com, port 7276. Once you've done that, go outside and bring up something like the GPS status app - mine now locks on to 8 satellites in about 15 seconds.
That's it! It works!
PS - the SUPL server (location server) that was set in 2.1, 2.2 (and probably also will be in 2.3) is just plain slow and bad. There are plenty of other phones that have this same exact problem. If you are a geek and are capable of editing the GPS config data on your own, then the instructions to do that are here (it's for T-Mobile, but the instructions are the same for your Captivate):

So, when and if you upgrade to 2.3, you'll have to go in and make this fix again (change the SUPL server name).
The problem is that the location server that AT&T (and some others) use to feed location data to the GPS software in your phone stinks! There are other location servers that you could use, but I am very happy with google's free supl.google.com.
