Level 3
Well well, mine has started working too. I am presuming it is because I registered with the stupidly named Skyhook about a week ago but I also made a change (although very small) to my account details which I will share just in case.
On the Vita go to:
Settings
Playstation Network
Account Information (Enter SEN Password)
From here you can review your account settings. I noticed that my languages 1 was set to English (United States) and further down my language was set to English (United Kingdom). Which was set when we had the option during one of the last PS3 FW updates. I have now changed these to match.
Like I said earlier changing these two languages to match probably made no difference to Near working but it is a measure of the frustration we have been feeling to get the thing working that anything is worth trying.
Good luck getting yours working.
Level 2
Up until yesterday I've had no problems with Near. Then all of a sudden it's stopped working. When I tried to connect to the Store it said the PSN was down for maintenance so I guessed that Near must be affected by the same issue as it needs access to your SEN ID. This morning the PSN is fine and I can use the Store with no issue but Near is still not working. It will gather the info but is unable to post anything.
Any ideas?

About 2 days after doing a system restore (WiFi Vita) near still wasn't working. Then when I took it to University and connected to the wifi there it suddenly started working! It was like it didn't like my home wifi 
but after that it works everywhere now.
I have done the skyhook thing but I know its not that because my phone and my iPod Touch could get my location in seconds through wifi.
The only difference I can think of is that I did the system restore by turning the console off and then holding the PS button + power button + Right Trigger untill a menu came up and chose restore option.
I'm happy that near is working but unfortunately I noticed that, like Cringles said, doing a system restore messes up any trophies that have an ongoing counter. An example being in Rayman Origins you get trophy for completing 10 medals.
I was allready part way through the game when i did a sytem restore and ive been playing it after the restore and the trophy for getting 10 medals only just poped up. Except I have MORE than 10. This must mean the counter towards the trophy got erased.
Other things I can think this will affect are head shot counts in Uncharted and kill counts towards certain guns. I'm sure you can think of more too.

Hold on to that hope. It was a few hours before it worked. Server sync maybe???
Just clutching at straws on your behalf
