iPhone 6 GPS not working

Mine stopped working almost a year ago. I tried the 10 things Apple said to do.....nothing worked. Finally replaced the gps antenna, and it works again. Definitely the equipment!!

I did all the software steps detailed online and it didn’t fix it. So I got the antenna replaced and now it works.

Sir / Madam

You are an absolute hero , the Apple 'Genius' told me I would need to buy a new phone as the gps chip was built in to the main motherboard.

Saw your post, spent a few pennies on a pentalobe screwdriver opened the phone and there it was as you described the foam insulating pad had slipped completely off the brass contact plate beneath it. Reseated the foam and ............

Voila ! Full gps and Bluetooth restored.

Many thanks, you have saved a ton of money.

The tech said nothing about the appearance of the antenna. So I do not know. But my phone gps is still working great and it was not software. So happy I did it. Tech said my phone was not the first one that had this prob and he fixed it w replacing the antenna.

Yes the problem was fixed.

You don't need to replace the battery, just the cable.

I tried resetting all of the settings, nothing worked, it turned out to be a faulty bluetooth antenna. Could have fixed but chose to get a new phone.

My iPhone 6 has been doing the same thing for a few months now. I have done everything Apple asked; twice and the problem still exists. In fact, it has failed all together; Siri cannot even find me anymore. I contacted Apple today, May 6, 2018 and they told me Apple is finally addressing this issue; while they did not tell me what they were doing, I was assured a fix is being worked on. My fingers are crossed.

Great fix parts cost 12 bucks on amazon and you can do it yourself.

My phone quit showing location services once I updated this last Apple update 10-2017. They need to fix this issue as I am getting tired of it as is MANY others with Apple products! I have tried resetting phone doing a hard reset, resetting my network settings and nothing works.

FIX THIS PROBLEM APPLE

DID YOU REPLACE THE BATTERY?

WAS THE PROBLEM FIXED?

PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

I HAVE THE SAM DIAGNOSTIC TODAY BUT DO NOT WANT TO SPENT 80 BUCKS REPLACING A BATTERY PERSONALLY I DO NOT THINK THAT IS THE CAUSING OF THE PROBLEM.

I have this problem too. It also affects my bluetooth connection...I have to place my phone next to the car dashboard to get a connection. I've called Apple support about this. I was told that this was a known issue and would be fixed in future iOS releases. My gut feel is that this was a non-answer meant to evade the real issue: that this is a hardware problem. It's quite disappointing that such a key feature--location services--would be subject to failure and not be repaired by Apple.

If anyone can confirm that this is indeed a software issue, I would love to hear about it.

No, they have enough complaints for a recall. But if they did that they’d lose money, so making older models unfixable gets them money from people having to buy new products for quadruple the price. That’s why they’re not addressing the issue.

Apple Community, I need your help.

For those of you who updated to iOS 11 and noticed that the GPS stopped working or is sporadic, what did you do to solve your problem? Or is this problem still persisting because Apple isn't doing anything about it. I've tried every possible method to solve it, yet the GPS doesn't follow my every turn-by-turn, it struggle to locate my position, and my arrow is all wacko when I run the GPS. Sometimes it shows that I'm 30+ miles in another location! I have tried the soft reset, hard reset, start from new iphone, uninstall and reinstall the maps app, did satellite acquisitions through my carrier, all the toggle switches for cellular, wifi, and location services, and I have received now the 2nd warranty on this phone...

Any solutions?

Exactly the same thing happened to me. Got a new battery, but had an error when trying to back up to the cloud, so another visit to the Genius Bar. My phone had to be wiped clean and start over. Lost text messages and photos. Immediately my blue tooth ear piece worked only when within 3 feet of the phone, the wifi turns off - and requires me to put in the passcode rather than remembering it, and Google Maps and Apple Maps put me 1/2 mile away from where I am when on cellular. I wish I had not gotten the "help"! Grrrrr....

Hi,

I have Iphone 6. My phone GPS shows exact location on all apps (googlemap, Ola, uber) when I am connected using my wifi. But when I use my cellular data (3G / 4G) the GPS location is inaccurate and is like 100/200 meters away from my location and keeps fluctuating some times.

I have gone through the forums and tried below options:

a. Location on/off

b. Reset network settings

c. Reset location settings

d. Reset all settings

e. Date and time automatic

f. Soft reset, restart

Even after the above it does not shows correct location and hence cannot use google maps for navigation as blue arrow is away from my exact location, cannot use runkeeper as shows bad gps signal.

Today i have upgraded to IOS 11.4 but still the same issue.

Please help
