ios 10.3.1 wifi & gps problems

After I did 10.3.1 update my iphone 6 has problems with the wifi and the gps signal. my wifi signal is very weak, imagine that in my house if I am 10 meters away from the router I lost the signal! when I use googsle maps or maps the apps can't find the exact location so as a result I cannot get the correct instructions! I restored my iphone several times from itunes directly, as a new phone, zero result, same problem. I also tries to reset network settings, zero result! Is this ios 10.3.1 bug?? anyone can help me?

iPhone 6, iOS 10.3.1

Hello, I have the same issue in my Iphone 6... after upgraded to 10.3.1 my GPS is never accurate (GPS is never found when using waze) and my Wi-Fi connection is terrible (just works when I am in the same room in front of the router.

Kind of frustrating that there isn't any fix or workaround.....

I fixed the issue. (iPhone 6 GPS dead)

Since all the fixes above seemed hardware related, I decided to give it a shot and took it to the iPhone repair (I live in Korea) where for 50$ I got the antenna replaced.

I believe the antenna is probably quite fragile, or the connection is fragile... anyway after dropping the phone a few times it jangled the antenna enough to make it stop working.

Good luck all.

This thread is marked "solved" pointing the answer to a post by "biobrain" which references a Facebook page, but the Facebook link doesn't seem to work. I don't see an answer (other than replacing the antenna yourself) when I look through the whole thread. Is there a simple answer to this, either on Facebook or in this thread?

It’s a hardware issue, so antenna replacement is a must... whether the AS people do it at the center, you get a replacement device, or you do it at home. In Korea we have iPhone fix places for pretty cheap.

Good luck.

So is anyone from apple actually going to try give us any help at all. I really would like maps or my strava to actually ******* work.

Just did the update to iOS 10.3.2 and it did NOT solve the issue. I reset network settings and tried it again with no success.

Please make the FaceBook Page title more search friendly so that it contains terms like WiFi and GPS issues.

Same here, will apple take this seriously?

May 15, 2017 10:45 AM in response to biobrain

Of course they won't. this is the software update Apple puts out every year to crash people's phones so you're forced into buying a new phone

May 15, 2017 12:59 PM in response to SeñorAwesome

I sure hope so. I've been waiting on the update. If that doesn't solve the issue, I'm going back to Android.

May 15, 2017 7:41 PM in response to Jcstrickland1984

The wort part about it all is if any of us lose our phone or its stolen, we won't be able to locate our phone via Find My IPhone because our GPS doesn't work properly.
