iPhone 3GS + iOS 5 = location services disabled?
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced what I have today - I upgraded my 3GS to iOS 5 and now the Location Services are entirely disabled. Try as I may, the iPhone won't turn the service on. I've googled the issue and all that comes back are hits for the new redsn0w jailbreak.
I'd love some feedback if anyone has a suggestion.

Yep, same issue. Upgraded my Iphone 3GS (jailbroken on IOS version 3.1.3) to v5.0 and it shows my Location services as on, but it really isn't (and can't toggle it off/on or any of the sub apps...such as camera, iheart, maps, etc.). I backed up my phone before upgrading (as I always do when testing out new versions of IOS) so that I could revert back to my trustworthy 3.1.3, but since upgrading to 5.0, I am unable to go back and location services broke in the process.
Now, back to your issue! I had this issue on a Verizon iphone 4 that I bought temporarily and in order to get location services working, I had to call Verizon and have them enable it. My guess is you might (and I too, since I'm stuck at 5.0) have to call AT&T support to have them enable it. When on the Verizon version, the guy new right away what it was and fixed it....I hope AT&T will be to as well. Hope that helps!

FOUND THE FIX! (worked for me)
To re-enable location:
1) Go to Settings
2) Select "General"
3) Go to "Restrictions"
4) Either Disable Restrictions, or set "Allow/Locations" to "ON".

perfect problem sorted - thanks
Strange that they will put restrictions on that by default.
Thank you thank you - that was driving me nuts and it's not an intuitive fix!
