Having a problem with location settings.
As you can see in my screen shots, the location says it is off in the pull down menu and won't let me toggle it on. If I hold down it opens up the Location Settings, which you can see it says it is on there.
Weather widget tracks me fine but Maps says it can't find my location, going to really need my GPS for a trip tomorrow.

While in Location Settings if I try to select Maps or HD Widgets to go into a specific app's location permissions, it says "Unfortunately Settings Has Stopped"

Did a factory reset and it fixed it, downloaded Maps just to be sure and it immediately grabbed my location.
I would have done that from the get go, but restoring apps and especially my whack load of sms takes hours

Glad to hear you got it all sorted - albeit with a Reset.
