iPhone 6 problems with gps / wi-fi

Hi,

Thought I might try my luck here. Have this iPhone 6 that has problems with wi-fi (very weak signal and dropping), also GPS is not working at all, always off the road, not going along the street when the phone does. Bluetooth is quite ok,, though I can hear some stutter when listening to music from time to time.

I have tried resetting network settings to no avail. Then thought this should be simple as just changing the antenna component, did that but nothing changed (have two spare antenna components, will try the other one in a bit).

iOS 10.3.1

Don't want to take this phone to service as it is not worth it.

Suggestions welcome and thanks in advance!

Maybe time for a new phone? Lots of things can cause a weak signal other than the hardware itself. Assume you already have taken that into consideration?

I'd start here for the GPS problem:

And there are tons of posts about Wi-Fi problems with iOS 10.3.x which maybe a google search could help with as well. Just hope they aren't all "me too" posts and replies to the problem.

Good point, but still why buy a new one if you can fix the same one? Fun fact - I have just bricked my phone trying to change antenna again ))

It sounds like you're trying to fix the problem using a mortar rocket and sledgehammer…

I have fixed many iPhones with various issues before and never bricked one... I am lucky this one is mine...
