Re: GPS does not work anymore :(

Could you provide more specifics about how to make this modification? I have not worked with coding previously. Thank you.

By founding where GPS kept its catch and just backup %gconf.xml file then remove and install it back did the trick.

Code:

/etc/osso-af-init/gconf-dir/system/nokia/location/lastknown/%gconf.xml

location server on supl.nokia.com
phone is OC @ 1000mhz

@ RockCreek1

I used WinSCP http://winscp.net/eng/download.php#download2 to access root on N900 from my PC through WiFi.

Its very simple to setup
here is step by step instruction. http://www.nokian900applications.com...on-nokia-n900/

This is how it looks like:

I was convinced that my GPS was broken, because I could only get an AGPS accuracy level fix, and whenever I started GPSJinni or other location aware programs, the little satelite dish icon would appear, stop blinking like it had gotten a lock, but would only tell me my location to an accuracy of about half a mile.

Finally, I went into settings -> location and saw that the "enable" checkbox for GPS was blank. I think I had disabled GPS once, but it didn't turn back on automatically. Hope this might help some of you.

Same thing here. I have always had this setting turned off, and just recently my n900 started careing, and the gps stopped working. Turned it back on, and everything is fine.

Maybe a recent upgrade of something has made the difference. I have always wondered what that setting did, never made any difference wether it was on or off until now..
