I installed the Samsung Omnia SGH-i900 Firmware Update/Upgrade to fix a problem with the GPS function in the camera.
Before the upgrade, all photos west of the Greenwich Meridian were tagged as longitude 0 – a pain when I visited my brother in San Diego. On the other hand, before the upgrade you could start taking pictures while waiting for the GPS to lock on, and it would just not attach the GPS location if it hadn’t locked on yet.
After the upgrade, the camera will not take pictures until the GPS has locked on – unless you disable the GPS function entirely.
