I don't see this as mulipath at all, at least not on my Epic. The Chipset Samsung is using is used by other makers without multipath problems, and multipath is rejected at the chip.
What my Epic is doing causing GPS to fail, is it is seeing many satellites which it cannot lock onto. When it locks GPS it is accurate. This specifically points to some other type of problem, more precisely incorrect xTra data.
Samsung has had previuos obsolete xTtra data persistence problems, specifically on Omnia. The symptoms I am seeing are identical: Good lock in morning, no lock that afternoon, remedied after full boot of phone. I am not changin the mulipath with that excercise, I am removing the now invalid xTRa data and requesting it anew from the assistance server.
