    Question NO GPS help

    Hello All,

    I have an odd problem I have an Iphone 3GS Jail broken on firmware 3.1.3 (waiting for rubyra1n). My problem is that whenever I use any navigation software (recent versions) it continues to say poor gps signal. However if I use Google maps all works fine.

    Can any help or advise? I would like to reboot the device but would have to update to 4.2.1 so no a good idea until the new JB come out.

    When you say you want to re boot your device but can not, do you mean restore because there is no reason why you can not re boot your device, in fact i would recommend that you re boot your phone, un install the app and then put it back on again.

    But the Re boot should sort it out

    You need to Re boot your phone every couple of weeks to keep things running smooth.

    Download SBsetting from Cydia and when its installed, Press and hold the status bar (the one where the signal is)and then go to the power option from the drop down and Re Boot.
