viewWillAppear is never called, till I load a modal view controller in the of the view, after that viewWillAppear is behaving as we expect!

Question

I noticed that this problem discussed elsewhere, and I've tried a number of solutions such as adding:

- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController 
   willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated 
{
    [viewController viewWillAppear:animated];
}

Another solution is to call them manually!

The problem is, in both cases, that when i load modal view controller in the view, things appear to work normally, and this results in calling the viewWillAppear twice!

Why it is working when I load the modal view controller? and is there a better solution to this?
