GPS Antenna Signal Flex Cable Ribbon Replacement Part for iPhone 6 (4.7)

worked

Bought this to fix the GPS and WIFI issues I was having on an iPhone 6. Fixed it all!

I was skeptical at first when buying this product as some reviewers stated it stopped working eventually or it didnt work at all but there could be many reasons why this would be the case. My iPhone had the following issues: location could not be found, GPS apps would not work (due to location not being found), WiFi would go in and out consistently. Installation was easy, I simply looked on YouTube on how to do the install. As for the product, it has fared well for the past four months however, though not common, I have had WiFi issues recently cutting in and out. Moreover, sometimes my GPS apps will not work but a simple on and off of the iPhone usually resolves the issue. Im guessing the culprit would be this aftermarket flex cable but for the price, honestly it is worth it.

Arrived quickly and combined with a new GPS signal antenna completely resolved wifi/GPS issues with my wifes phone. Taking everything apart and getting it back together was moderately nerve-wracking due to the connections being so small and fragile. With the right tools, patience, and careful tracking of the screws, this a solid intermediate level DIY job.

Picked this and a new antenna up when GPS started to go haywire on my iPhone 6. I thought it had finally just broken, but after doing the repair its back to normal! Definitely look for and download a screwmat before you attempt the repair. There are a LOT of YouTube videos you should familiarize yourself with first as well as there are some tinier pieces that arent shown in the larger breakdown slideshows and youll wonder where the hell it goes.

fixed GPS/bluetooth/wifi issues follow DIY guide for removing circuit board on ifixit

Its good.

This is the replacement part that seemed to do the trick for my GPS/Wireless issues. GPS was going wacky (phone couldnt seem to figure out where I was whenever I attempted to use GPS) and wireless would only work when I was in the same room/within around 8 ft of the router. I replaced the antenna first, and that didnt fully fix the issue, so I tried the flex cable second. When I removed the old flex cable, I noticed one of the connections was deteriorated. Luckily, the damage was all on the flex cable, so I was able to install this one easily. Phone is back to normal!

This antenna come in with one connector bent. When I tried to install it, it broke. Not good.
