Nowadays, GPS isn't working anymore. I can't get a fix and the N900 says that there are zero sattelites in view. I tried wit A-GPS on and off. Tried it wit Location-test, with GPS Data, with Nokia Maps, with Sygic...but no signal.

What could this be?
You are not alone, my friend. I am frustrated and extremely disappointed with my N900 A-GPS capability. It's a toy when it comes to GPS functionality. I have both Ovi-maps and Mappero and both FAILED when I needed it most. I even tried switching on Data, but just couldn't get a lock on the location properly. I was on the highway, not some remote jungle. Giving up hope!!!
