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?

ATTENTION - GOOD NEWS!!


Dear "apple-friends",

I bought my new iPhone 6s at November and I had the same problem. Poor location of satellites, signal loss, etc. I had to turn off and on GPS (locations settings) every 5-10 minutes and I was very angry...


I joined to the beta, updated my iPhone to iOS 9.2 beta 4 and I did a factory reset. And ... I have no problems today. No problems with GPS and I don't have any other smaller or bigger problems that previously plagued me. My iPhone is so smooth and fast that I myself can't believe it..!!

So, don't worry and enjoy final iOS 9.2.. 😉

I have the same problem. Navigon 30 mins satellites ok, next 30 mins every few secs GPS signal lost. In Waze the same, in Google maps the same, the point on the map is drifting. In native maps better, seems not to be affected, but I have not so much experiences with native maps.

iPhone 6S, iOS 9.02 and 9.1

I have the same. Dont know if its 9.1 or if its 6S. Both are new and at the same time. I NEVER lost satellite connection in my car before with iPhone 6, 5S, 5, 4S, 4 besides when driving under bridges or in cities with tall buildings. With 6S and IOS 9.1 I loose satellite when driving in the country.

Im returning it

Hi, same problem here with an iPhone 6s iOS 9.1


Wondering if it's network related as I could not reproduce the bug using another carrier on my phone (granted I didn't try for very long...) and it seems that disabling 4G usage "solves" the bug


What counrty are you all and what carrier are you on ?

I Live in Denmark, use Telenor AS carrier.

I got fed up with this probkem so I went back to using my iPhone 6 again, reinstalled the latest backup from my faulty iPhone 6S.

Despite that I used the backup from iPhone 6S, the iPhone 6 has perfect GPS-reception.

So it must be hardware related or specific IOS 9 - iPhone 6S - interaction
