GPS not working; troubleshooting unsuccessful; Bluetooth & WiFi fine

A few days ago I opened Google Maps while travelling to find that my phone wouldn’t get a GPS lock and was just using cell towers and WiFi for location, with large radius of uncertainty.

I tried various software troubleshooting, including: turning airplane mode on and off, restarting the phone, resetting network and privacy/location settings. Haven’t had any success with these.

After seeing on these forums that people had success with replacing the combined antenna, after having concurrently experienced reduced Bluetooth range and WiFi issues, I tested my Bluetooth and WiFi and am experiencing no troubles with them.

So now I’m not sure how to proceed. The next step I suppose would be to reset the phone entirely, but I’m very averse to that because it’s such a hassle. I’m wondering if it could be some other hardware issue at all, considering the other radio things seem to be working fine and as far as I’m aware they all use the same antenna and chip(s). Should I take it in to a repair shop? Apple Store first (can they better diagnose it)? (It’s out of warranty.)

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Soluzione Prescelta

The only other option is logic board related so I would certainly try to do a full restore first.

The GPS functionality is pretty much embedded through out the entire radio subsystem. There is a certain IC which is supposed to act as the location accuracy IC but that doesn’t mean that changing it would solve your issue. One question though, has your phone been exposed to water? I ask because this IC is located in an area that would be easily attacked by any water ingress through the ear speaker grill, which is a common point of entry.

Ok I had this same issue with my iPhone 6 for over a month now. I tried restoring and still didn’t work.

This morning I took it to a repair shop and they told me the only solution was to replace the antenna (75€ I’m in Spain). I told them I was gonna think about cause I’m actually thinking about upgrading to a newer one.

Hours later reading thru a lot of forums I found this “crazy” solution.

“Wack the phone on the top left corner a few times”

I put a rag on the table to protect the case and tried. Voila!!! It works now!!

I don’t know for how long it will but hey.. definitely worth to check it out!

Good luck with yours!!
