By unlock you mean activation, right? Since you cannot unlock the 3G, but I dont think activation has anything to do with gps. Are you trying to use the GPS in the same locations that it worked before pwning? I cannot get gps anywhere but outside under no trees or in the car. I randomly can get signal inside but its seldom. So if your having trouble getting a signal where you know there is (outside) then you may have a problem. Otherwise its normal not to have signal indoors or under tall objects.

just want to make sure everything clean here (i may wrong). The locate me work almost everywhere. Wherever you receipt signal (with Edge) then locate me will work because they using cell tower signal i believe. The gps not working? Put your phone to DFU mode and start the fresh restore after that and do feel free to re-pwn your phone
good luck
Iphone 4 32GB Black!!

Everything works great, but no GPS...

Still not working for me, but thanks for the info, i now have a 3g iphone, which doesnt have GPS, and to be honest the 3G part of it in the uk is crap, as soon as i switch 3G off i get 100% reception rather than 2 bars at most,
Does any one have any other solutions. Please let me know
Maybe i just have to wait for 2.01 to be jailbreaked and then see if that works.

ok just thought i would update :
Now pwned with custom firmware 2.0.1, and guess what ?
Still location services DO NOT WORK !
Then restored to Stock 2.0.1 and still no, spoke to 02 they are replacing the phone tomorrow.
Now i have restored witha stock ipsw is there any way 02 / Apple can see that i did pwn the phone, or has this all been reversed?
The strange thing is that the GPS / Location Services did work before i pwned with a custom version of 2.00.
Will let you know if i break the new one that arrives tomorrow.
-
well i restored the phone to stock 2.0.1 for return to 02, and guess what, yup location services started working.
not wanting to look stupid i declined the new iphone as it was a swap over, also they only had a black one, i have a white one, and i didnt want to send back a 100% working phone.
So pwned it again...........and now i can just say the phone is now flaky, location services kinda works, takes about 8 minutes in maps.
so not sure where to go from here, any advice welcome.
Also can someone explain why i get 1000 times more reception when 3G is turned off?

Ripples. O2 3G coverage in the UK is poor whereas their GPRS is good. Offtel fined O2 recently for not upgrading it's 3G service as quickly as it had promised. It has now dropped all future Edge updating of it's service and has started improving 3G. Of course they are doing so in the most habitated areas first, so London, any large City gets priority... Just a very bad service provider... nothing to do with your iPhone. It is trying hard to search for 3G signal and can only find poor reception, hence the 2 bars. This searching also drains the battery furiously, so best plan is have it off (ooh err) unless you know you are in a good 3G area or really need the faster speed and watch your battery drain, you will notice a huge diferenc with 3G off!

I'm facing with the same problem here, but i have 3G everywhere i got, but still no GPS is working.. But if i disable 3G it would locate me using the Celltower method.. Any idea how to fix this yet?
