gps not working properly after iOS 9.3 update

Couple of days back, bought a brand new IPhone 6S Plus.

IOS 9.3.1 was updated when connected first time to Wifi.

Gps is not working at all. It's says cannot start navigation. And it's not showing my location correctly.

Please help. Or have I made a mistake buying IPhone ?

try to different provider card.. and check your gps working or not..

if working, then swap againt with your prime provider card..

it works for me 🙂

Don't worry, it's probably a software issue related to iOS 9.3.

After the next software update, it's probably fixed.

You should be afraid. This problem persists since 9.2 update (in December). Apple has no comments regarding this issue so far. I have no GPS for the last 5 months already and it seems that nobody cares.

You could visit an Apple Genius Bar, that would force Apple to solve the problem for you.

Sorry to say its not software. I too thought this.

the module for gps is damaged, but not "out".

coincidence lays where it starts with the update.

DIagnostics run by them will not populate the module failure cause its still functioning and their tests are based on running or not running, not damaged but running still.

they need to swap the phone

no location at all may be another story, the above is for wrong location only

Hi

I solved mine by draining completely the battery and letting the phone off a whole night. I put it to charge in the morning and everything was back since this morning ( since 8 hours) WIFi GPS .. Last time I tried this but I let the phone off only 5 minutes it worked for one hour..

Wait and see...

I'm having the same issue...

- Reset Factory Settings: Didn't fix issue

- Calibrated Compass: Didn't fix issue

- Restored iPhone as iCloud Backup: Didn't fix issue

- Restored iPhone with new install 9.3.1: Didn't fix issue

Went to the apple store today and ran a diagnostics test which came back all fine. I did a fresh install at the Apple store (no iCloud backup) with 9.3.1. He said he was aware of the issue and fixed a customers phone by doing this. Needless to say, the GPS issue wasn't fix.

I'm trying to find an install of 9.2.1 to revert back to now. I'll keep you all posted once I do.

Hi All,

Just an update.

I've found the iPhone software for 9.2.1 (iPhone7,2_9.2.1_13D15_Restore.ipsw). I placed my phone into recovery mode and tried installing 9.2.1. I received this error, "This device isn't eligible for the requested build." iTunes is also not letting me restore anything unless it's connected to the internet. I'm going to do some more digging and see how I can downgrade.

For those who need 9.2.1 here's the download link.

iPhone7,2_9.2.1_13D15_Restore.ipsw

Hi All,

Looks like apple no longer allows downgrades from 9.3.1 to 9.2.1 now that IOS9 is no longer in beta. I'm trying to restore my phone to 9.3 now. I've read up that this can still be done as a downgrade. If you need the download links for 9.3 i'll include them below.

iPhone 6 users: iPhone 6 (IPSW 9.3)

iPhone 6s users: iPhone 6 Plus (IPSW 9.3)

I'll keep you posted...

Ok so iTunes isn't allowing me to downgrade to 9.3 either. I've exhausted all my current options. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Downgraded from 9.3.2 public beta to 9.3.1. No changes in gps. Going to visit a genuis bar at an Apple store before my warranty expires.

I'm in the same boat as everyone else - bad GPS now with the recent upgrade. Didn't realize how much I used GPS until I didn't have it.

Still no news about fixing this issue. GPS not working!!! I force restarted, tried reset but still not working. Please fix this problem

Another user posted that they drained their battery dead, and then recharged and they were able to get better reception. I tried that this morning, and so far I am getting good GPS reception. I am holding my breathe though because I've received good reception, to later see the problem reappear. Try turning on your GPS, BlueTooth, etc., and play music on mute and drain your battery down dead, and then charge it back, and let us know if it works for you.
