GPS not working on 3GS with 4.1

I am using Iphone 3GS here in Saudia, which was jail broken and is currently on version 4.1. Every thing else is working fine except the GPS. It always tells me that no signal. Is there any solution?

Open the console app and look for error concerning the FW devices.
Do the devices work on another computer?
Doe the devices show up in Disk Utility if they are storage?
Do they appear in System report?
Try running Apple Hardware test

  • Find my iphone not working on 3gs (with a valid account). Please help?

    Hi All,
    I created a free Mobile Me account with my iPad and enabled 'Find my iPhone' on it. After that, I went to my 3GS and activated 'Find my iPhone' successfully.
    The thing is: nothing works with the 3gs. With the iPad, I can lock it, and send messages to it (I didn't try to erase it, for obvious reasons). I cannot send messages to the 3GS and can't lock it, either.
    Both devices with the latest iOS version (4.2.1).
    I tried erasing all email accounts, and reseting network configuration. Push enabled.
    Please help
    Thanks

    There is a loop hole. Just register your account using the same steps on any iphone4 ipad or itouch 4th gen FIRST then u'll be able to use your account on your 3gs that allows it to track your iphone...up to a max of 3 diff devices. google the other forums, this was what i read from them.

  • IPhone 6 location services/gps not working

    Anyone else have an issue with iPhone 6 location services/gps not working? I have had it happen to me twice where it stopped working for good 7 or 8 hours and then all of sudden it starts working again. For example, directions don't work, every time I open Apple Maps it will say "Cannot determine location", then when I press the location icon on the bottom left, it will try to search again and have an approximate location but not exact, where as the iPad that I have right next to it is able to pin point the exact location. Sometimes the location circle is pulsing blue sometimes its gray. If I am driving and have tracking on it won't track, and so on.  I have tried to setup the phone as new without restoring the backup, when it stopped working with no luck, it still didn't work. I went and restore it back from backup and few hours later it started to work again. This has happened twice now since I got the phone last Friday.

    Check your "Privacy" settings on your iPhone see what apps are using your location.

    If the Flash object has focus then key presses are processed by that plugin.
    In such cases you need to click outside that plugin (e.g. the menu bar if you can't click on the website) to make the keyboard work.

  • GPS not working with something plugged in headphone jack aux jack

    Ok I have an iPhone 3GS and a car kit from Belkin that uses the aux jack in my car, if I plug the cable in the GPS stops working. I tried different cables different car and tried my wife and daughters iPhones all with the same result. I have G-Maps, Motion X, AT&T Nav, same outcome all 3 apps.

    weird, cause I use it daily for GPS, for the sound. it is a sound ouput, don't how it is possible to interfer with the GPS. In my car I have to specifically choose the audio source for the car kit (from within the kit). What do you mean exactly it stops working?
    what happens if you plug in a headset? Myabe try in different car!

  • IPhone 3GS 3.1.2 GPS not working!

    -Off Local
    -On Airplane
    -On Local
    open the map and locate us..sometimes it is able to locate me but most of the time the location is quite off my exact location....
    i try to route it..but the blue dot will just stay the starting point and it is not moving except the direction is moving...
    Also try to restore the frimware numerous of times...still cant get it work...
    i also try to remove my sim card and try to see whether it can pick up any GPS signal but it show nothing...
    Download montion x lt from app store...it cant detect any GPS signal, what it does only triangle using the GSM tower...

    Hi DJR81, it does indeed sound like the GPS could be out. Try contacting your service provider for a warranty repair.

    by the way, 3 month ago it helps when GPS signal was very poor
    but still.... wifi is working ONLY 1 m in front of the server /___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png from 2 m up no signal AND then SWITSHING TO 3G
    and
    GPS /___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png ist also not working proper what means :

  • IPhone GPS not working in foreign countries...why?

    Hello,
    I have encountered an issue with both my iPhone 3GS and my wife's 3G (mentioning that so I'm pretty sure it's no a specific unit's issue).
    Whenevr I travel abroad, whether it's Europe or, say, Central America, the GPS function does not work. This is the case whether I have the plane in Airplane Mode or not. I can make calls etc. through the foreign carrier when I'm connected to the cell network. Data roaming is OFF, but I didn't think that was necessary for GPS. Basically, what happens is I open google maps, and try to locate myself, and it thinks about it for a while, and then tells me it cannot determine my location. Oh yeah, also tried when on Wi-Fi and still no GPS. I don't want to enable data roaming but, again, I didn't think that was necessary for the GPS function. What am I missing?
    Thanks
    GC

    Where to begin: Quoted from a GPS Manufacture:
    Factors that can degrade the GPS signal and thus affect accuracy include the following:
    * Ionosphere and troposphere delays — The satellite signal slows as it passes through the atmosphere. The GPS system uses a built-in model that calculates an average amount of delay to partially correct for this type of error.
    * Signal multipath — This occurs when the GPS signal is reflected off objects such as tall buildings or large rock surfaces before it reaches the receiver. This increases the travel time of the signal, thereby causing errors.
    * Receiver clock errors — A receiver's built-in clock is not as accurate as the atomic clocks onboard the GPS satellites. Therefore, it may have very slight timing errors.
    * Orbital errors — Also known as ephemeris errors, these are inaccuracies of the satellite's reported location.
    * Number of satellites visible — The more satellites a GPS receiver can "see," the better the accuracy. Buildings, terrain, electronic interference, or sometimes even dense foliage can block signal reception, causing position errors or possibly no position reading at all. GPS units typically will not work indoors, underwater or underground.
    * Satellite geometry/shading — This refers to the relative position of the satellites at any given time. Ideal satellite geometry exists when the satellites are located at wide angles relative to each other. Poor geometry results when the satellites are located in a line or in a tight grouping.
    * Intentional degradation of the satellite signal — Selective Availability (SA) is an intentional degradation of the signal once imposed by the U.S. Department of Defense. SA was intended to prevent military adversaries from using the highly accurate GPS signals. The government turned off SA in May 2000, which significantly improved the accuracy of civilian GPS receivers.
