well. Here is my first glitch/issue with my 3g.

I can't get it to find me in any apps like LOOPT or even in maps with gps or triangulation.

Off to the apple store after I did a full restore and reset of all default settings. To top it off went over EVERY menu item to be sure. No luck.

Will report what they say.

Has to be a Glitch with something else, because mine went out about 30minutes ago, but I am assumining it will be back up.

DFW Airport, TX.

Was going good until about 30 minutes ago. Like you said the Apps won't locate now, nor will Maps GPS.

well as soon as I walked into the apple store and tried locating again it worked. Network issue seems to be the case.

Well, I am home for Lunch and GPS is working again after 30 minutes on charger.

What is your battery level at?

Mine was at 20% when GPS didn't work (Thought at first this was an issue until I read your post)

I'll check at work again at 8

definitely not a battery related issue.....I am well below 20% level and it still works. Sounds like a network issue for sure.

The services went down on a nearly full battery.

After being plugged in the battery was then again definitely full, post restore.

Ya, just a network issue because it hasn't stopped working again.
