Hello

when I use Turn-by-Turn navigation apps like (Sygic) it says "waiting for valid signal" and it NEVER find a signal !! I waited for like 20 minutes and no signal while my fiend's iPhone 3G connects to the satellite in seconds and works with all the navigation apps

In "Maps" app I noticed that the blue dot does appear BUT the little circles the ones supposed to appear like radio waves don't appear !! I think that mean approx. location !! while also my in friend's phone the blue dot + radio waves arround it appear

VIDEO EXPLAINS THE PROBLEM + BLUE DOT WAVES

come on guys !!

I HAVE NO WARRANTY IN MY COUNTRY AND I CANT REPLACE IT
 
I have the same problem on two iPhones. One is the 3GS and the other is the 1st generation iPhone.

I also tried this on my 3G iPhone and actually got it to work after closing the app and loading up the native maps app and then letting it locate me. I closed it and then went into settings and turned off location services and the turned it back. This isn't working on my 3GS or 1st generation phones though.

EDIT: I removed the app from my 3GS phone and then reinstalled it. I restarted the app and the same thing happened again. I waited a few minutes and the map now shows.
