GPS problem iPhone 6S

Tja

I got 3 to but it has worked with the GPS all week with 4G. It had some problems last week which makes me wonder if this is an 3 problem ?

I called 3 and they didn't even know that the issue could be... they haven't yet called me back either.

Im gonna change form 3 to Tele2 , they go much better speeds on 4G vs 3.

I have this problem with my iPhone 6, my navigation apps stopped working when I upgraded 9.01 and the issues have not been resolved for me with 9.02 or 9.1 upgrades. My navigation apps have worked maybe 3 times total over the last couple of months, I attempt to use them still on a daily basis even though they have been incredibly inconsistent.

I had absolutely no issues with my iPhone and using the navigation before upgraded it in September, the navigation has worked fine for almost a year, nothing else that I know of has changed except for the fact that I upgraded my phone. I have tried resetting, turning off and on, taking off the case, and everything I can think of/ find online.. Nothing has helped.

I have never considered switching to a different brand until now, this navigation/location issue is causing major issues for me.

I have same problems in the Netherlands with Tele2. Waze and Google Maps have problems with LTE and word OK with 3G.

Yup, having the same problem in Portugal, with operator MEO. I think they use 800MHz LTE.

Mapping apps update infrequently, fail to provide accurate location, while in navigation even the orientation is backwards… it's pretty useless… will try to disable 4G and see if it helps…

Interesting, When I try Tele2 / 4G simcard it works here in Sweden.
Apple is going to contact me for further information how to solve this.

I upgraded to 9.2 B3 and it seems to work OK for now. 🙂

Hi Guys,

Same problem here. I'm on Bouygues Telecom in France, which uses 1800MHz frenquency.

I'll try deactivating 4G and see if it solves the issue (which is not satisfying, but still...)

I haven't tested yet, I'm just back from my run... I will tomorrow !

Hello everybody,

Same problem for me. I've the issue when the automatic switch 3G/4G is enabled. I've disabled the 4G and the GPS signal is ok.

The Apple Assistance has made a phone diagnostic, the result is a 4G problem of my operator ... Apple assistance say me that the phone use data connection to sync gps signal --> No 4G -> No GPS ... I think thaht IOS has a problem, during the phone search 4G signal, even if the 3G signal is good, the gps signal is poor or offline.

Regards,

Geoffrey

Hello all.

Same problem on my iPhone 6S 64GB ios 9.1 here in Italy with carrier WIND.

I've not yet tried to switch off LTE to see if the problem is still there.

This problem is VERY annoying and as an android switcher i feel very very disappointed given the great amount of money spent.

me too, the same problem

Here in Italy , after inspecting his iphone 6s, an Apple technician of one of the biggest Apple Stores said to a guy with the same problem that the fix should will come with ios 9.2 ... i hope this is true, since i'm very disappointed.

Just to add an element to the discussion i've noticed that often the compass give wrong indications but always in the same direction when it is incorrect.

When incorrect it always put the north between 25 and 45 degree shifted towards west.

I don't know how it works the whole thing but if the compass give to the system wrong data this should greatly affect the whole navigation process that has to face an increasing amount of incoherent data as the navigation proceed...

Hi,

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.1 and Italian Wind network, same problem.. I'll try to disable LTE.

Same Probleme here in Germany with O2 / Telefonica.

Please fix it!
