We all know that the arrival of the iPhone in Egypt is imminent, and there is a lot of talk that it will be available at the beginning of next month. But what about the GPS technology in the iPhone and this technology is banned in Egypt, so how will the phone download Egypt? .. The sure news is that the iPhone in Egypt will not have a GPS service, and the guide is the Apple page itself, these are pictures from the Apple page You are talking about the iPhone in Egypt soon and about the maps feature in the iPhone, and the GPS is not mentioned
This is a Qatar page that Apple talks about the Maps feature and includes GPS technology
So it is clear that Apple decided not to include the GPS in the phone coming to Egypt, but how will this happen? By removing the GPS unit from the internal components? No, some sources inside Vodafone and Mobinil say that there is a firmware specially prepared for Egypt, and the GPS will be removed from it. But does this mean that if I download the firmware for all countries, I will be able to restore the GPS service? The truth is I cannot say for sure, but what I doubt is that Apple has put in the current firmware 2.1 a GPS blocking feature in Egypt for phones opened by Apple, and the reason I think this is that my phone, after developing it to version 2.1, does not work on GPS while other closed phones On America, the GPS is still working on it even after developing the firmware to 2.1. And I have some friends who have the same condition and we tried to activate the GPS, but we couldn't.
I do not want to speak about politics :) But GPS is a technology that has been allowed in the countries of the world since the year 90 and the law that was enacted in Egypt to prevent this technology was in 2003 when they accidentally discovered the existence of this technology: D means more than five years ago. On so that we know that there is no harm in GPS technology, especially in cars and phones, as the GPS unit itself is smaller than the mind of Al-Sabaa, and if someone wants to use it in his personal watch, no one will discover it. Also, the flag of GPS is allowed in all countries of the world and in all Arab countries, except for Egypt and Syria, isn’t this strange. The argument for preventing GPS in Egypt is that it harms public security, and by God, this is a funny talk, and whoever says these words as they seem does not know what GPS is, and if America, England, France, Israel and all countries allowed GPS technology in their countries, does this mean that Egypt is more careful From this country to public security. It is worth noting that the Nokia N95 phone is prohibited from entering Egypt because it contains this disaster harmful to the security of the country, which is called GPS, but for an incomprehensible reason, you find this phone is sold publicly in stores and is sold in very large quantities all over Egypt, so why not launch campaigns to arrest everyone who sought him himself To betray his country and carry a phone with this technology. Also, in order to say what we have and what we have, the GPS is not prohibited altogether, but you need a permit from the security authorities to use it. If you buy a Nokia N95 phone, you have to go to the competent authorities to take a permit before clicking on the map icon. immediately.
In any case, there is a full report on the blocking of GPS in Egypt prepared by the site Daily News Egypt It is in English.
The Egyptian government releases GPS:
After the list included Egypt, Syria and North Korea alone as three world countries that prohibit the circulation and use of GPS devices and satellite navigation, Egypt finally left the list after the Egyptian government represented by the Board of Directors of the National Communications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) agreed to Officially trading devices and applications that support "GPS" technology. Will Apple in the new firmware activate the service ?????
Quite on http://www.gadgetsarabia.com/2009/04/04/gps-appro...
Thank you, i Sosa will write a full article on that, God willing.
Ok, I mean, he will go to sixty shrewd things. Understand it Ba, it is not allowed to monitor the head’s movements. Understand, Pasha, why is there no GPS?
I found a way on a forum and tried it without a file on the mobile and turned it on and opened with me and saw the point and the point precisely determining my location in the street and moving when I am an Arab passenger you move with me every time I move
Today I bought an iPhone from Vodafone
Once updated to 2.2, GPS began to work
By God, this is a joyful and funny thing
Happy the presence of the service and sad for the style of twisting and turning and laughing at the strange Egyptian beard
Praise be to God, the device is excellent and the Arabization is also great, Professor Tariq
No, the GPS does not work. If you do an update, you may think that the circle is the GPS because GPS is much more accurate and it is a blue dot that identifies your exact location.
I bought IPHOPNE 3G and uudate to 2.2 and never had any problems. I am not talking about the circle, but about the blue point, and I tried it personally when I was driving my car, it only remained for my picture to appear from its accuracy in determining the location
This problem as I only read in Egypt.
hello evrybody i just bought an iPhone 3G from Vodafone Egypt the GPS not working and the maps needs for internet to work and even the 3G service needs to go to vodafone to activate it and i have to bay 90L.E monthly for some 3G bouquet to work with me! its sucks
is there any solution to get the GPS working again or even make the 3G working without installing vodafone 3G bouquet?
Yes sure, but because you are new you will have to read and search and ask like you do now.
To make your internet work without pay the 90 LE, you have to JailBreak your iPhone and then install somthing from Cydia called APN Edit, the put the normal vodafone inernet settings ..
I know you will not understand this because you are new, but first try to search on how to jail break your iPhone
ok thats means theres a solution to unlock the GPS banning in Egypt
am thinkin here what if i install workin firmeware 2.1 on my ipohne 3G 2.1 thats GPS banned on it (as i knew!) it might be workin! ???
or downgrade the firmware 2.1 to 2.0 is that a solution ?! i knew from yu that we can downgrade to lower version becuz therwill be a problem with the baseband!
i dont know am still searchin: s
but need answer for my questions

Fekry
May God bless you with Yemen, goodness and blessings, may God bless you
In response to my last post, I would like to know whether my suggestion helped you fix the GPS problem after updating to Firmware 2.1 or not, I wanted to make sure is the solution general for all devices
Shake for everyone who updated to Vermeer 2.1 and lost the GPS like me and Brother Tariq, please leave your impression on sharing
Because of the importance of the topic, which is the issue of GPS, the outfit has become a thinner cause for everyone who has an iPhone 3G Or (trackthing) and stand in an open area and let it pick up a signal until you see that it gives you the distance and the rest of the coordinates
And close the program and click on the google maps app and press the pinpointing location button and enjoy the rest with regards.
The method is proven and beneficial, God willing
This was so hard .. I heard that he was prevented from the house of the chief and the military sites
Hubble is still living in days of war !!
We shall not, God willing, find a solution to this problem ^ _ ^
Will the GPS go down to Kuwait ??
I have an official unlocked iPhone from Italy, and the gypsum was working well before he spoke to the firmware XNUMX even without a SIM card, and for now it is not working at all until the approximate department is not working and the satellites just as well, and I don’t know I go online using the Mobinil network. Wi-Fi
Need throttle
د
First, you need to change the APN settings, enter Cydia and download a program called APN EDIT
Then put the mobnable settings in the device settings
It is preferred to do Reset All Data from Settings
When I first used the Nokia N95, I couldn't handle the GPS
And today the iPhone can not be used has become a disaster
But I love Zaid that in Syria, just that you open the Maps program, you will get a white screen and it cannot open or zoom in or anything
I want to guest that in Syria, Facebook, YouTube, MSN Messenger, and a lot of technical matters
Prohibited
It could prevent a human someday
Peace be upon you
Is Apple this time you talked about Arabization when it comes to Egypt? Where he will be doomed to failure
No, if it does not have Arabization ... who will buy it ... especially since its price in Arab countries will be merciless and expensive ... We are accustomed to exploiting telecommunications companies and their greed ... God increases competition between them and becomes cheap ...
I do not think that Apple will create a special software for a specific country!
The iPhone device is a future only for this service, and it is possible for Apple to put the devices that may work in Egypt or other countries in a special list to block the service or to equip it with a special type of service and this is through the sender (satellite)
As you know that the GPS service is not free and the service stops working in the device when the subscription period ends, and when you pay, the service will work for the same device again
And all this is not through the software, but through the company that equipped the first satellite!
I am the first time that I know that the GPS service is not free, all devices work on the GPS service without paying any subscription, so what do you mean by it is not free !!
Yes, the GPS service is not free here, that is, when you buy a GPS device for the car, for example, there are types of them that are open term, and here the company bears subscription fees and there is a period of such a year and everything is according to its price of course I mean here the advanced GPS service that allows you to use the GPS BS, with all its capabilities, for example your speed and locations of cameras for speed and roads according to the type of vehicle and much much more. The free service is only for determining your site, nothing more
I wanted from this to say that the company providing the service has the ability to fully control the type of the equipped service and in any place without the need to change something in the receiving device
I think you mean the one who paid for it is the maps, and this is normal in most devices. You buy the map or pay for it.
But the GPS service is a free service and is based on determining your location accurately via satellites. And for the iPhone, there is no additional price you pay for the maps provided by Google or anything.
I tried the 3G today in Tripoli, Libya, with a device coming from the United States, which is open with turbo sim, and upon requesting to locate my location and determine the location of the nearest antenna through which the 3G receives phone calls, so that the blue dot appears that indicates the location of the antenna and did not indicate where I am and when I continued to walk leaving The phone was what it was for a distance of a few kilometers, and I looked at the screen and found it did not change, i.e. the blue dot appeared in the previous place, and when I asked to locate my location again I brought a blue dot indicating the nearest antenna to my location and this is logical and acceptable that despite the capabilities available in the 3g, including identification The place only needs modern maps and a service provider to be able to walk or drive the car, following the 3G instructions
The 3G does not have GPS to derive its information from satellites. Rather, all its information comes through mobile phone networks and the Google Earth program, a maps program only and not a live program, so how can we expect this free program to be used in tracking Al Seraji points.
The world has reached Mars, Egypt and Syria are still at the bottom, wondrous thinking
Syria is still in a state of war with Israel, and I think you are watching the news and the bombings ... Do not underestimate GPS technology. You do not know the quantities of traitors, agents and money that hostile countries invest in the simplest things, including this technology .... Not to mention the smuggling between the Syrian, Iraqi and Lebanese borders, including the most dangerous of which is human bombs. I do not exaggerate because I said that this technology plays the biggest role in the success of these operations ...
Nevertheless, the state allows shops to sell and most of the people in Syria carry GPS phones without any problems, as the average citizen is not the target of the law .... And you understand enough, so that if Syria normalizes relations with America and its allies as well as Saudi Arabia, they would allow this technology, but together they have their principles and they will not abandon them for free. For infidels and Jews
As for Egypt, it is strange?
This technology does not affect the safety of the country at all, and if it affects its rejection by Israel before us, and as I said, if it did affect it, it would have been prevented with fire and iron, but you said yourself, most people in Syria carry GPS phones without any problems, and if the target was not the normal user, he said The law is forbidden to be used commercially, but all I say is that in some of our Arab countries, changing the law is difficult and decision-making is empowered to non-specialists, so it produces what is produced, for example .. iPhone Islam The site is blocked in Libya just because the site's name is Islam.
I am not a fan of politics, but I will say that America and Israel do not need the traitors to locate a specific location, they are the ones who made GPS, and now anyone can go to Google and get the geographical location of any point in the world within seconds.
They are the ones who made the maps and they are the ones controlling the satellites ... I don't think they need a person to know what is going on now in Syria or Egypt!
I have previously indicated in previous comments that the site iPhone Islam was blocked in Libya for reasons that I do not know at the time, but I am sure that the reasons were known to the Libyan officials in the Communications Commission and it is certainly related to the service provider that it provides to various sites and various cultural forums The commercial and religious, both Islamic and non-Islamic, and perhaps the service provider was also providing them to immoral sites or extremist sites. What I want to confirm this time is that the blocking of the iPhone Islam site was a coincidence and a result of the blocking of the original server, and it was not because of the name at all. Rather, it was against the service provider, and that removing the block means that the site of iPhone Islam enjoys a good reputation in Libya and other than Libya and that the topics that It is covered by this forum and the Islamic programs and applications that it puts in the hands of its Arab pioneers are the ones that helped make the decision to lift the blocking, as it was also a response to the calls of many interested Bay-Phone Islam in Libya.
My brother Abdul Basit, I thank your efforts and the efforts of all the pioneers of iPhone Islam from Libya. The truth is that the site was blocked in an Arab country like Libya. It worried us and always affected us when we heard that our brother in Libya could not browse the site or Arabize his phone.
But praise be to God, and we await the participation of our brothers there.
Something really strange, ok .. whoever doesn't have a GPS phone can't access Google MAPS? :)
No, of course, you can use Google Maps, but determining your exact location, which is called a blue check, will not work, and the maps program may locate you through the network, but not by a command like a satellite.
Very sad ..
A strange jaj, I mean, I have an open, official iPhone, and its food is working perfectly. The blue point is working, it means working, and I will not go to Egypt.
Anyone who understands me, may God bless you
Thank you
My brother, we are not sure yet, we only say possibilities, and from the experience of many after the upgrade to Vercoire 2.1, the GPS no longer works for us, and this is only for open phones, as for those closed to America, because the phone does not feel that it is in Egypt, the GPS is still working, and we raised this topic for discussion And everyone who has an iPhone in Egypt should share his experience with GPS
I think, brother Tariq, that if you got a SIM card, not from Egypt, and you did the activation with the GPS, it will work because it depends on the information it takes from the sim card, or even a communications sim can work since it is not officially authorized by Apple, and I want to ask you the official iPhone 3G that you have. Vodafone Internet is working on it ??
I really tried it, but it didn't work for me.
Yes, the Internet works, whether officially open or otherwise, as soon as the APN settings change
Although the open official has no place to change the APN settings, you can get it by downloading APN EDIT from Cydia
In the Nokia N82 I used GPS in Cairo and it was working well and there are Egyptian maps with locations of restaurants, hotels and services
Perhaps the Egyptian officials will wake up and lift the ban
Weird, I have an official unlocked 3G iPhone, the GPS is fully functional and I have 2.1 and locate me is on the violin !!!
It is good for someone to see the blue dot and not the circle only after updating to 2.1 because I and some friends only get a circle.
Dear, make sure that your phone is not adulterated
After trying it. . . Only turbo-sim phones have GPS in Egypt
He told us again
Brother Hassan, do you have experience with this problem that the GPS does not work after the firmware 2.1 if it is opened by Apple? Or do you have friends who suffer from the same problem?
My brother Tariq, I tried today an iPhone 2.1G locked in America firmware XNUMX
It has a Vodafone chip with a Gefi turbo sim and I tried GPS
From the first place I left my house in Nasr City until I reached Tahrir
One of the most amazing was a blue dot marking my place and driving with the car
Until I reached Tahrir Square
I will soon try the open iPhone on all networks and I will send you
GPS works outdoors, better away from walls
Yes, this is normal. Phones closed to America have no problem. We await your next experience.
Do not be afraid, Habiba, as we tell you in the palm of my hand. An official open phone from Italy
Frankly, I cannot believe it, and no word can be said from the following !!!
May God help you, the Egyptians
Honestly, I heard that GPS is forbidden in Egypt, but I can trust you
But now the words are real .. to be honest, something very strange
But there is something special about it in Egypt that can only be discovered by GPS ... and because of this, they protect the country's wealth from the spoilers :)
This means that if I visited Egypt now with an iPhone, they would consider me a criminal according to this law!
And what if I said about him upon entering a thousand, terrifying feeling that I was carrying his bomb! And this is all because of the GPS, have you seen the new presentation with the next update! Not only the GPS, but a photo of the location as well. I wonder when this will be in the Arab countries and why we are last from …….
It is not penalized or criminalized for those who own a GPS device in Egypt ... And Nokia XNUMX can be used in Egypt without any problems and completely publicly at the airport and customs and not smuggling as long as it is for personal use ... But what is forbidden is to sell it commercially in Egypt… meaning it is not allowed to be imported for sale…. why???? Just stupidity ... and without any logical reason ... But there is virtually no risk for those who have GPS ... and I personally have Nokia XNUMX and iPhone and I have not encountered any problem mentioned .... Therefore, it is necessary to note ...
Indeed, a very strange thing about the withholding of service in Egypt!
I was expecting and optimistic that it will descend as it is, because there is actually no GPS piece in the device, and it is just simulation !!
But I do not expect that this problem will spoil the joy and experience of the iPhone for the Egyptian brothers.
Increase ,,
Why is it forbidden?
Even in Syria, the Nokia NXNUMX device is forbidden
It is true ... GPS is forbidden in Syria and Egypt ... and some other countries for security reasons only
