Which, under the A-GPS section states that iPhone location services can work without a SIM card and/or Wi-Fi. "To ensure you are using satellite GPS, you can take out your SIM card..., turn off Wi-Fi, and turn on Location Services... go into Google Maps app... hit the bottom left location button, and it should start spinning. After about 2 minutes you should get your first satellite signal, and you should see a blue dot" | |

As I mentioned, location services works on my phone for all other applications that use it (e.g. Maps), so that seems to contradict your claim. Also, I have had no other issues with the jailbreak. If you have a workaround or resolution, that would be helpful. Thanks. | |
