Galaxy 5: GPS always stops working after phone has been in standby



My new Samsung Galaxy 5 (also named Galaxy i5500, and running (android 2.1) has some GPS issue.


The GPS works fine (i.e. it can find satellites when I use the app GPS Test.) directly after powering up my phone. However, as soon as the phone has been in standby, the GPS no longer can find any satellites. After restarting the device, the GPS is working again until the next standby.


The device has been upgraded to the latest firmware using Samsung Kies, and following Samsung's support advice I have already performed a factory reset.


Is there something that can be done to fix this (apart from waiting for Samsung Support's follow-up)?


Edit: I think this androidforums post describes the problem and solution (still have to test it) quite well.
