Anyone else having this problem? TeleNav gets to 96%, sits idle for a while and returns "weak GPS signal, need clearer sky view". Neither Samsung nor TMob seems to know what's wrong but I know for a fact that 2 TMob employees who have Beholds are having the same issue and I found a review today where they mention having the same problem. I'm not getting anywhere with Samsung or TMob's tech support and it seems like the only way this'll get fixed is if people start reporting the problem. So if you're having the same problem, please let Samsung/TMob know.
Thanks,
Roy
p.s. Here's the review if anyone's interested:
http://switched.com.com/smartphones/samsung-behold-sgh-t919/4864-6452_7-33384663.html?messageID=10011783"The reason I chose this phone was to get the turn-by-turn directions from the GPS with Telenav. The phone itself looked good, felt good in the hand and pocket. We tried the GPS after activation in the store, and it never found a signal. We assumed that was because we were indoors. Unfortunately, it never found a signal at all- it would spend about 5 minutes calculating the route and give an error message that either the GPS signal was too weak or the connection to the server timed out. (I live in a densely populated suburb of Boston).
Long story short- I spent a couple of hours with three different tech support people at Telenav who finally told me the GPS on the phone was not working and to return it. Next, I spent an hour or so returning the phone. We tried another unit, and got the same result, even after confirming that my data plan with T-mobile was functioning and in order.
I can't say exactly if the problem was with the geographical area I live in, or the service. It appeared to affect more than just my phone. I walked over to a verizon kiosk in the mall, and their VZ Navigator worked indoors and came up instantly. Maybe it's a new product glitch they can fix, but check this function out in the store before you buy the phone."
