My iPhone 6 since upgrading can’t find GPS

I have been having same problems. Done everything mentioned here to no avail. Also totally reset phone to factory settings. Went to Verizon store and they just said hardware can’t keep up with software upgrades and new phone is only answer. Iphone 6 is 3 years old. Had Iphones for a lot of years but going over to androids this time, i have had it.

I have been to the Genius Bar and they suggested calling Apple Care to keep checking up with the issue. Steven (sp?) there says he has no reports of it being a software issue, that it is probably a hardware issue. I see that several folks on here have had success with replacing antennae. Would more people weigh in on this thought?

I was told by a customer a support representative to post an individual comment like this one in the forum and to also submit an issue in the actual Apple Maps app because the more instances of a problem they see, the more likely it is that they will find a solution for it.

I was on chat with them for a LONG time trying to fix it, with no results.

My iphone 6 has exactly the same problem, I went to an Apple authorized repair store, they ran a diagnostic but everything pass, they did a hard reinstall the os, it work for once after that then GPSstop working again.

I downloaded an app which will show how many satellites you are connect to using gps, it keep showing none except that one time right after I re-install the ios. The other phone shows good connection to satellites.

IOS: 11.2.1

I’m having the same problem, I strongly believe it’s SW related issues due to fact that I was using my phone for traveling on road with my car on the day, I was showing my phone’s location exactly and was working fine until it started happens when I updated my phone to iOS11.2.1

I also have this same issue since the update in late September or early October 2017. It was working completely fine before the IOS (ver.11) update then. It has been more than 4 months now and 2-3 new IOS update and the problem is still not fixed. Apple, are you guys not trying to fix this? Your costumer support said its a known issue.

GPS can not find my location constantly, when using a map app like google or yahoo map 98% of the time it doesn't update. Any app that requires GPS also can not function correctly. When I am home it thinks I am in the river 50 feet away. Again let me remind you it was working fine before I did the late September update.

I finally gave up and ordered a replacement through my carrier's insurance. Still cost me $149 deductable, but better than the $300 Apple wanted to fix it or the $600 or more a new model would cost.

This doesn’t work. Standing on Coronado Beach, my phone isnt able to be located by gps. I downloaded an app that monitors my gps signal and can reset my gps as needed. It also shows me how many sattlites my phone can see. I can rearly see any sattlelites. There is something wrong with either the hardware or the software. Because the problem became apparent after an update to version 11, I am guessing it is software.

Gus:

Why do you mark this issue as "Solved" when it is obvious from all the posters here that it isn't?!!

In broad terms: fixing antenna isolation.

Yeah, Gus, that does nothing. There is very obviously a problem with the firmware for iOS 11. Not a single app that uses GPS still functions properly. Google Maps, Apple Maps, Pokemon Go, etc., none of them have an idea of where the phone is. Everything worked perfectly fine with iOS 10, and the only thing that changed was the upgraded firmware. Apple needs to find the problem with the firmware and release ANOTHER update to fix the problem they created. Right now the easiest way to navigate with my iphone 6 is to get turn-by-turn directions from MapQuest like it is 2004.

Did you ever get it to work? I'm having the same issue. Updating to 11.03 didn't help either. I have seen lots of other people on different forums complaining of the same issue-- with no resolution after visiting a genius bar.

Yes, I am on 11.0.3 and it's still doesn't work for me. It's been a few weeks and pretty frustrating. It looks to me not a hardware issue but a software issue. I was going to visit a genius (?!) bar but after reading the comments here, decide not to waste my time there.
