GPS problem iPhone 6S

I have problems with my iPhones gps to locate satellites using Waze, NAVIGO and maps all having the same problem. Use to have a 4, 4s, 5, 5s, 6 now 6S and during the same line of travel I have never lost contact with satellites. I'm currently running iOS 9.1. I have restarted, re installed, re booted. But get the same result. Do you have any good tips on what to do?

I'm an Uber Driver in Orlando Florida and having this exact same issue. I'm on Sprint and my new 6S constantly looses connection while on my Uber trips. The issue has even caused my trips to seem as though they were shorter and causing me to lose money. The only way I've been able to get it to work is to reboot the phone once the GPS looses connection with the Satellite.


I will try disabling LTE next time I drive and work Uber...but really this shouldn't be something I need to do. I need LTE for better connections throughout the City.


I did make a complaint to Apple and hope they fix it soon!

Tjena!


I called the Apple Support and they asked me to do a Clean Install and try + they did a diagnostic on my iPhone remotley + true iTunes and send it to the engineers at Apple. So far they dont know what the problem could be.

Today I'll tried with an Tele2 4G card and It worked perfectly Im gonna try it one more time when Im driving home later today from work.

But my normal carrier is TRE / 3 and Apple thought maybe it could be the 4G at "3" that makes the GPS to loose signal but it feels strange.

It works normally with 3 on my old iPhone 6 Plus.


Hopefully they solve it with an iOS update. But if they are talking about the iOS 9.2 It will not solve this. There is no information about any GPS bug fixes in that iOS version.
