Iphone 4s Gps problem after 5.0.1 update

I call Apply support as I was getting the same issues. They were not much help and just said it is becasue the MAC address of my router is registered at the wrong location. When I asked how I could resolve this they said to just keep using the phone over the wifi and it'll update Apples data base also to make sure that the time settings were all turned on. I don't feel they were much help and didn't actually know the real answer.

I then threw a curve ball and said that my wife iphone 4s connected to the same wifi at the same time was showing the corect location so that would suggest the issue lies with my iphone itself. They are looking into this again....

but this problem is hardware or software related and will it be fixed in upcoming 5.1 upddate

It seems more like a software related issue but i cant tell for sure. Since it is resolved by reseting network settings it is more propable that is software related...so we hope for a better iOS5 update...

In general it happens more often when there is no WiFi or 3G connection and you are in a poor reception area.

From what has been mentioned earlier I would agree that it is a sofeware issue as replacing the handset has not resolved the problem. Although i wouldn't be against the idea of replacing the handset if Apple offered to see if there is any improvement.

I did only notice the issue when I updated to 5.0.1.

What I find confusing is that within my house we have 2 iphone 4s and one iphone 4. All the phone connect to the internet by the same router. However my phone is the only one that has location problem.

I have tried everything in the forum from turning off wifi right through to a complete reinstall. I have had limited success where the location wervice works fine for about 30 minutes but then reverts to what appears to be a default location 100 miles away. When I walk out the house and lose my wifi single everything works fine.

I have ruled out a router / broadband issue as the other ios devices work fine.

I think the problem is My gps is working but Assisted Gps is not working . When I am indoors it does not even give. Me a location that I am within radius of 30 meters ... Gps only works when I am outdoors... When I turn on wifi it detects me indoors too but it does. Not use the assisted gps to locate me via cell towers .. Even Siri says when I ask her do I need an umbrella , it says cannot locate u and I can't even geotag on twitter if I am indoors

Even i am facing the same problem, but in my case even with wifi it doesnot detect me indoors. it works only when i am outdoors.

I have the same problem with you

Recently I had an issue on my new iPhone 4S after updated to iOS 5.0.1, which is very annoying: When I restart my iPhone 4S, no matter how, the location service just COMPLETLY WON'T work in ANY APP including Map App (under Wifi). So many users also reported this problem:

But, I finally figured out how to fix with more than 15 times turn-on and off by testing my phone, here is how:

It seems the problem (BUG) is come from the "wifi (or 3G) CONNECTION DELAIED TO GET location info after restarting your iPhone 4S" and it's always happends on password protected phones. Which means when you use the password protection and then delay a bit to enter password after you restart your iphone, then you will meet this bug. The only fix is: Don't use the password protection or when you use the pass word protection, use fastest speed to enter the password once your phone restart it, then you will skip this issue.

There is another way to fix if you meet this bug: If your location service not working, TURN OFF the main button of "Location Service" then turn it back on after few seconds, your location service will be work again.

IT'S REALLY A WIRED BUG AND VERY ANNYOING. HOPE APPLE WILL FIX IT SOON!
