Is your phone acting weird when using GPS or WiFi? Whether you’re trying to navigate with Waze or connect to your favorite coffee shop’s WiFi, these issues can be super frustrating.

At SPR, we often get customers coming in with these common problems:

• GPS not locking or showing the wrong location

• WiFi keeps disconnecting or not detecting any network 

Let’s break down the causes, what you can try and when to visit a repair specialist like SPR.

Common Causes of GPS or WiFi Issues

1. Software Glitches or Outdated OS

   • Sometimes, a simple update or reset can fix connectivity issues.

   • Too many background apps can also interfere with location services.

2. Antenna or Signal IC Problems

   • Your phone uses tiny internal antennas for both GPS and WiFi.

   • Damage from drops or water can affect these components.

3. Broken or Loose Internal Parts

   • If your phone was recently dropped or opened, the GPS or WiFi antenna might be disconnected or damaged.

4. Battery Swelling

   • A swollen battery can press against internal parts and affect connectivity. Dangerous and needs quick attention!

What You Can Try First

Before rushing to a repair shop, it’s always a good idea to try a few simple troubleshooting steps on your own. Sometimes, a small software glitch or setting change can cause big problems with your GPS/WiFi, and the good news is, these can often be fixed in just a few minutes.

Try the following quick checks:

     ✅ Restart your phone

     ✅ Turn Airplane mode ON and OFF

     ✅ Forget and reconnect to the WiFi network

     ✅ Make sure location permission is enabled for apps

     ✅ Check for system updates

If none of these steps solve the issue and your phone still struggles to connect to WiFi or accurately detect your location via GPS, it’s time to let the experts take a look.
