Hello!

I used semi-restore to clean my iPhone 4s.
I had to use semi-restore twice because tweaks and sources in cydia were still there after the first try.
I reinstalled everything, apps and tweak and everything seemed to run nicely. Everything except gps which was totally unusable. Signal was lost every 2 seconds while before the semi-restore everything was fine for GPS.

Therefore I ran semi-restore again to check if gps was ok in an empty device. Again, signal was not stable at all and native GPS was unusable.

I tried some things and I found out that deactivating 3G resolves the problem :confused: GPS signal is perfect then but when I activate 3G again, signal is out again...

Did anyone experienced this issue ? Do you have any idea how to resolve it ?

Thanks for your help !
 
I already got waze and I totally agree with you ;)
The gps problem is happenning with every gps applications :(

After some research on the internet, I found instructions which seem to resolve the matter for some users:

Navigate to Settings>General>Network>Enable 3G and toggle to “OFF”

Locate yourself using the iPhone 3G’s GPS receiver

Navigate to Settings>General>Network>Enable 3G and toggle to “ON”

Now the GPS should be running fine even with 3G enabled.
 
Thanks but I did that a couple of times. When I toggle on 3G again, signal is lost instantly :confused:
