Does the GPS system work okay on your iPhone 3GS? - 1

I recently got a second hand iPhone 3GS. However it seems to have great difficulty locking on to the GPS signal. The phone gets an approximate location quickly, which I assume is using assisted GPS, but it is very difficult to get a proper accurate GPS lock. I got a good lock if I stood in an empty field but lost it if I walked away. If I left the phone right at the windscreen on a car journey it locked on but if I moved the phone away from there, it lost it again.

So what I would like to know is, is this normal for the iPhone 3GS? Or is there something wrong with it and I should return it as it was sold as fully working?

(Software version 6.1.3)

Its not normal. You should return it and change another.

Because Apple isn't selling it anymore and the egs won't get IOS 7, is it still okay to keep? I really don't like the other iphones to be honest:/ I'm worried about it becoming obsolete.
  • Why does only one speaker work when I connect my iphone to my Hi Fi system?

  • Is there anyway to spoof your location on life 360 or change your gps location on an iPhone? I've tired just about everything to not be tracked on Life360 and it will notify if you turn it on airplane mode or turn off your location settings. Also can't delete the app need help. Or is there anyway to change your gps location in an iPhone without jailbreaking it?
