tried and failed… didn't work for me. I then had the no signal message, installed sam and that sorted my signal and notifications back to normal.
Still have the dodgy Gps signal problem though.
Its frustrating the life out of me and i'm loosing days of my life and still no further forward.
My baseband is 05.16.05 which is the problem…i don't want to flash it and brick the phone though.
cheers
Does it fix the iPad-BB caused GPS-Error or only the iOS5 specific Location-Service-Crash ?
i have followed the instructions step by step and word by word, and damn it is good , finally it is working for me after days of suffering , thank you my friend
