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!
