Hi all.
After updating to iOS 9.3 my GPS cannot find my exact location. It keeps telling me I am in a big area, (Triangulating) seems like it does not activate the GPS.
Sometimes very little it works and give me the correct position, but 97% of the time its not working. Anyone else with the same problem?
Besides that: A hot phone & bad WIFI
iPhone 6 running iOS 9.3
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3
Folks, I have iPhone 6 and after updating to 10.2.1, I have lost wifi signal strength ( I have to sit in front of router to get signals) and GPS just cannot locate me. I did reset, hard reset, restore, got hardware checked at Apple but to no avail. I had to go out of town relying heavily on my GPS in phone and the **** thing just dint work. I never even dream that one day I will have to say the apple is not reliable. This has happened to me and this can happen to anyone.
I don't work for Apple. I am not affiliated with Apple in any way. I answer questions in ASC, apparently quite successfully, as somewhere between 4,000 and 8,000 people have said I helped or solved their problem.
In the thread I found several posts from people who opened their phones and found a connector had come undone. While I don't recommend this approach, how could a software update cause a cable to become unplugged? I also saw several from people who fixed the problem by doing a DFU restore, which would indicate a software problem, most likely memory corruption. And some who also reported WiFi issues. As WiFi is critical to GPS accuracy they are related, and the radio chip that handles WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS is fairly delicate. So that's at least 3 different causes for the same symptom.
To refine my WAG, there are over 1 billion iPhones. There are 278 posts in this thread, but most participants have made more than one post, so I'll assume 3 per user, which means the number of different people reporting the problem (even throwing in the people without a problem who just respond and try to help) is under 100. 100 / 10^9 is .00000001, or 0.000001%; my initial guess was pretty close. Even granting that only 1% of the people who have this problem are represented, that's 10,000, or .0001%. As reported problems go, that's a very small number; small enough to be random chance.
If this forum is so good and so busy, why is Apple support team not responding to this issue.
Look at this:L
* Same phone,
* all Iphone 6
* not 5 or 7,
* all the same update,
All happened right after the update,.
and you are not convinced its has to do with the update?
Are you sure you don't work or get paid from Apple?
How did the update make a cable come unplugged in several phones?
How come some phones were fixed by simply reinstalling iOS?
That is at least 2 different problems.

Just to update.. i DID contact APPLE and eventually got to talk to a senior advisor. They assigned me a "customer satisfaction code" and sent me back to the APPLE store where i received a brand new iphone. FREE ! No charger or nothing with it but thats ok. After 6 months of aggravation i have a phone w functioning GPS!
YAAAY !!
Can you give me the correct route on how can I get my iphone 6 replaced.
##873283# and then "call".
The numbers spell out "update" on the phone.
My GPS has been working fine since. It's only been a few hours, but before, it wouldn't make it a few minutes.
please explain..
we still have this annoying problem and it eats our data, any help will be welcomed
I apologize. I had typed an explaination and lost it.
Went to the Sprint store, since that's the service I have, for the same problem with the GPS, and recently, the wi-fi. 2 weeks out of warranty.
The did the usual "hard reset".
Mr Sprint then told me that non-apple apps (Waze) was causing iPhone6 GPS To fail, and that until apple and waze updated (within a few weeks) GPS won't work.
That's when he told me I needed to go to the phone dial pad and type in ##update#, and then "call".
My GPS has been fine since. It's only been a couple hours, but before it wouldn't make it a couple minutes.
Great Thanks, What heppened after you did ##UPDATE# and called?
we get " Error Performing request unknown error"
5 hours after the process, and my GPS is still working. "Waze" even told me when to turn!
gps not working properly after iOS 9.3 update
