To see if GPS is truly working on my Prime, I have to turn wifi off right?

My understanding would be yes. But you would probably also want to download a GPS utility from the market which would tell you what's what.
WiFi works on the 2.4 and 5 GHz ISM bands. GPS works on 1.6 GHz and 1.2 GHz bands, so WiFi shouldn't interfere, at least in theory. However, I'd also recommend shutting WiFi - at least to make sure that your fix is not based on added WiFi access point location information.
GPS Status from the market will show you what your locked on to

I decided to test GPS, apples to apples. Dissabled 3g on my Atrix running CM7 and opened up the GPS Test app. After 10 min I had 5 satellites in view and 0 in use. Where my TFP would have a strong 10 satellite lock, indoor. Ill put the screenshots up when I get home.

I just installed the recent ICS leak and all's well so far, save for one little thing. i have an airport extreme at home, and while it appears to connect to my wifi, it's not listed on my AE's connected devices. furthermore, i still have the 4G LTE icon as well as the wifi icon. So, it seems that it's still using 4G. I've tried the wifi other places and all seems well.
Also, when i FORCE it into wifi (put in airplane mode, turn on wifi) it works fine.
Any ideas?
rats... was going to post a screen cap. i guess i have about 5 more posts to go before i can.
maybe now?

interesting... another AE at work, set up pretty much just the same, but i can see in the airport utility that it IS connected, but same result here... 4G LTE icon next to wifi.
Hi,
when my wifi is enabled for a couple of hours it gradually becomes slower and slower. When I disable and enable it I have full speed again. Currently I am using the stock samsung rom but I also had this problem when I was using the F1 rom.

Have you disabled sleep? See if that makes a difference
Settings, wifi, menu key, advanced

Yes wifi is set to always on. I will change that and test it.

So I originally had issues with LTE speed and WiFi when I first got the phone and ended up getting a HTC One M8 and kept both (I do development for my company so why not have more test devices I guess). I just picked up the gs5 again and updated the firmware and while LTE seems as good as it gets for my area, WiFi is still horrible.
I have the 300gigabit/second fiber from AT&T and a 802.11ac router with WPA2 security and my other devices get between 150gigabits/second and 250/second. My M8 just did a test and it was about 160 whereas this does between 40-60.
I know it has to be something with my individual device because I've seen speed tests on the forum that are what I should get.
Any ideas for what could be the issue? Using the stock deodex room rooted/unlocked.

when bluetooth is enabled i get less than 1Mbps speeds but when bluetooth is disabled im back to 40-50Mbps. I use bluetooth and must be enabled.
Can anyone help? Only received the phone today.

I seem to be having the same issue, have you had any luck fixing it?
Yip I reset the phone and all ok now.
It seems the problem is back.

I don't think there's a fix, but I can provide some explanation. According to the FCC documents Bluetooth / WiFi share the same antenna. Bluetooth operates on 2.4Ghz just like WiFi. According to FCC they cannot operate simultaneously.
