:UPDATE:
Added a picture below of the 3 Amigos aka the 3 phone I sent back to T-Mobile which will now be ‘refurbed‘ again and given to some other unsuspecting customer. I wish them the best of luck and the only words of advice I can give to them is DON’T GIVE UP HOPE! My THIRD refurbished phone SEEMS to be working right now. GPS is still very flaky and not reliable. Even with updating to Android 2.2 (official Samsung/T-Mobile) the GPS didn’t work. I had to download and install the patch/fix provided by Samsung called oddly enough “GpsRestore“. Check out the full details by clicking on the link, but you can see that this is SUPPOSED to restore GPS config files for SGH-I897. But this ‘fix’ only works for a few days and then you need to run the app again in hopes of it working again. Also the gps will still randomly telling me I am moving (5-10mph) while sitting still or randomly shows that I am 2-3 blocks away from my current location. Guess I will just hold out for the next ‘fix’ or update.
