GPS & WiFi not working, after replacing F cable and Antenna Cover

So my GPS and WiFi signals were awful for past 2-3weeks and GPS even got to the point of being unusable.

Having read many posts etc, I ordered and set about replacing the WiFi Antenna cover part and the Antenna F Flex cable to my phone, assuming this would work as many others had success with those fixes.

Sadly it doesn't seem to have made any difference at all, in fact even worse as can't find any WiFi networks at all now, and GPS still shows "no GPS Reception". Eating a tonne of my 4G/LTE data here as can't use WiFi.

So having changed the 2 parts usually suggested as fix and still not being fixed, what now, is my phone totally broke and either needs new phone or entire logic board?

Is there any other fixes for no GPS.WiFi ? Thanks

Update (08/08/2017)

I have this problem too with my iPhone 6. I have replaced the flex cable and the wifi antenna as per the instruction on this website and still does not work. Wifi works only if I am within about 5m. The iPhone still makes calls and connects well to other devices. What else am I missing?

So which iPhone do you have? I know that it's at least an iPhone 5 or newer.

The iPhone metal housing has antennas on them. It's kinda a hassle to replace the whole housing of the iPhone as many things can go wrong.

Hopefully you don't get bad iPhone housing (antennas are no good on them is what I mean.)
