Replaced the battery with the ifixit guide, having real issues now ;(.

Hi,

A few weeks ago I ordered a battery from ebay (huge mistake) and replaced my old, worn out battery with the new one using the ifixit guide.

The new battery worked well for aroud one day and since then it drains extremely fast, causes extreme heat buildup, and the biggest problem is that when the phone is on, it takes hours upon hours to charge...

On top of all that, ever since changing the battery my GPS stopped being accurate, it can tell where I am approximatly, but apps like waze or maps wont work...

Is there anything I can do to save the phone?

Thanks!

replace the battery once more with a new one and reevaluate. Could be a battery issues but could also be a power management IC issue.

How can I repair the GPS?

Did you check the battery temperature? I currently have an issue (and as yet unanswered question) that really charges slowly if at all when the temp marks as being -30 degrees C. Apparently, the phone won't charge the battery at certain temperatures
