iphone X GPS Issues on 11.4.1

Sounds like you have a hardware issue that, for whatever reason, decided to manifest itself upon 11.4.1 installation. My X is on 11.4.1 and is/has been rock solid with respect to GPS, so I don't think it is 11.4.1 per se.

Hardware performance naturally has a distribution of performance, some units worse than others, and a subtle software change may bring such an issue to a head for some people. You might want to make a Genius appointment, perhaps you can gain some traction with Apple if you explain what you've already tried.

But first, to rule out other possible causes, any vehicle changes when this started? Some cars seem to be noisier (electromagnetically-wise) than others ... I see a lot of reference to Sonata's with GPS issues for some reason.

Have you installed window tinting? That can interfere with GPS.

Or, more fundamentally, does this problem occur when you're outside of the vehicle?

Thinking outside the box, any other changes which might bear an impact?

If it were me, I'd press firmly enough with evidence and a good attitude, and just mightget a replacement.

Clearly not all units have this issue, even with 11.4.1, and you can't let what you read on the internet be any indication about the proportions since people don't tend to post good news.

I’m having the same issues as well as somewhat frequently dropping off WiFi. I’m calling BS on it being a hardware issue because I just talked to three people in the same room with the same issues and there’s only 4 of us in the room. Hope they fix this with 12. I bet they won’t bother before that.

Why is Apple hating GPS?? iOS 11.4.1 fixed the GPS issue on my iPhone X for short time but now my iPhone X cannot figure out where I am. I have Apple Maps, Waze, & Google Maps installed. All 3 seem to feel I am in the general area but have no real idea where I actually am. Forget about walking or driving anywhere with guidance from your iPhone X as you may as well be stationed on the moon.

Has anyone else found it quite interesting that iPhone X drops GPS right before iPhone puts out a new iOS? Today is Labor Day, 9/3/18 - could Apple be laboring hard at fixing their GPS software issue? It has to be a software issue as each iOS update fixes the GPS issue until Apple is ready to launch a new iOS update.

I purchased my iPhone X in March 2018 and this is the 3rd time GPS has failed. iOS 12 cannot come out soon enough. Let's hope iOS 12 solves the GPS problem permanently!

I keep hearing about this being a HW issue and I think it’s total BS. My wife and I have same exact phone. Both GPS works great. Then one got upgraded to 11.4 and immediately GPS stopped tracking and now is basically useless. The other one never got upgraded and GPS still works fine. How is this a HW issue? I am losing confidence in Apple to fix this thing I am thinking about buying a garmin or start to use my old Samsung galaxy to drive.

just upgraded to the official 12 release and GPS is still not functioning. When in google map or apple maps I can see my location drifts as much as 200 meters even when I standing still. This basically make it useless for driving navigation. Does anyone sees the same issue with the new ios 12? Why does Apple keep dropping the ball time after time? No one even bothered to do regression test?

My problem is fixed. After numerous tries, reboot, bringing my phone back to “out of the box”, setting up as a new device, etc. etc. etc.

Solution was to get a new device, Apple was great to take of it.

I’m navigating they way it should.

Thank you Apple!!

Yes, my GPS has worked after restoring my iPhone X to new, also worked after restoring an old backup, and always works after updating to the new iOS. But for my X it appears that when Apple announces they will be releasing a new iOS, my GPS fails. The restores will work for a short time, but a long-term fix happens when the actual new iOS is dropped & I make the update. I had to wait to update to iOS 12 as I didn't have WiFi & couldn't connect to update. So I just updated my iPhone X on Sunday, Sept. 23rd and as predicted, all of my GPS apps and apps using location are all working again. I'm hoping it's a permanent fix.

But.... I'm am so frustrated with Apple X that I bet my GPS stops working again when Apple announces their next new iOS update.

I have exactly the same problem.

I have tried several of the same things you mention and there has been no solution.

I am already somewhat desperate and I can not find an answer. Some help?

Have the same issue!

Absolute same problem. I tried everything dumb fix and nothing seems to work. My old TomTom is working much better that this iPhone

I got a replacement as well. Problem is, my new phone just started having the same issues two weeks after bringing it home. :(
