I know this doesn't make sense but...

Installed update and then found Contacts added to desktop wouldn't show up (existing ones or adding new ones from list). Restarted and they all appeared...

After checking I have the same issue. But I saw a previous post that said if you switch off your N900, and remove/reinstall the battery before switching it back on, the A-GPS functionality returns to normal using both supl.nokia.com and supl.google.com.

I'm planning to try this a bit later and will report back. Let us know if it works for you.

Technically speaking, newer flash *IS* security update as well.
The version shipped with n900 has remote code execution security bug.

Exactly, you are not the only one. That's why i suggest to look for the posts that were made in regard to this issue in the last days and WEEKS.
Hint: supl.google.com vs. supl.nokia.com

Have you tried, as the post about 5 above this suggested, powering off and removing the battery for a short while? Have you tried changing the location server to supl.google.com (as was also mentioned within the last page or two)?

Hey ctl,

Here's a few things to try:

1. Most of the problems seem to concern the A-GPS (using cell towers) rather than the normal GPS (satellites). Have you tried to open Maps in the open and let the phone get a fix on the GPS satellites? Currently, I have no problem getting GPS to work outside, but once indoors, the A-GPS can't get a location.

2. If it's the A-GPS that can't lock-on, first try changing your Location server to supl.google.com from supl.nokia.com. The setting is in 'Settings>Location>Network positioning'. Some users have reported that this resurrects A-GPS functionality.

3. If (2) doesn't work, you can try what I suggested a couple of posts ago: Switch off your N900, and remove/reinstall the battery before switching it back on. One user has reported that the A-GPS functionality will then return to normal using both supl.nokia.com and supl.google.com.

Let me know how you get on and good luck!
