IPhone :: How Accurate Is Mobileme?
Feb 16, 2010I recently (an hour ago) had my iPhone stolen, so I went to MobileMe and tracked it. It said it is about 26 KM away. My question is, how accurate is MobileMe?

IPhone :: GPS Is Less Accurate Now?
Sep 11, 2010Basically I had a previous iPhone 4. The GPS on it was really accurate and always managed to pinpoint my location to within 5 metres. It was also extremely responsive and would update my position the moment I started moving. However it had a dot on the screen so I had it exchanged.On my new iPhone 4 the tracking is still accurate, but just not as good as before. It often shows me quite a bit further away than I really am. On top of that, my position will keep moving even when I'm standing perfectly still, whereas my previous iPhone 4 would just stay locked on to me completely. Furthermore it has a lag issue. Whenever I start moving, it takes about 10 - 15 seconds before it starts updating my position again. Whenever I stop, it takes awhile for it to realize that I have stopped moving as well, and my position on screen will fly further ahead than my actual position. After that it will slowly move back towards me and start jumping a bit again.
Lastly, whenever my previous iPhone 4 managed to lock onto a GPS signal, it would pretty much almost have no blue-circle unless I zoomed in really close. However with my newer iPhone 4, it constantly appears and disappears again. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any solutions? Should I get it changed, again?
IPhone :: Is GPS Tracking Accurate With 3G On?
May 21, 2010But Ive just started using an app to track my bike rides. I just start the app, throw my phone in my bag and forget about it till I get home. I've been turning off 3g as the gps alone is a battery hog, however does the 3g signal aid the gps using triangulation or something?

Jun 1, 2010Have had my 3G for almost 2 years now and it seems the GPS is not as accurate as it once was. I find that many times when driving, the blue dot in google maps will be up to 3-4 streets off. My girl friend's GPS on her 3G is even worse. Her's will sometimes take up to 45 seconds longer than mine to zero in on our location. Fresh OS install doesn't appear to make a difference. I feel like the GPS wasn't this bad when I first bought the phone.Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Aug 10, 2010Please state your phone provider and what app your are using to determine your current location.For me IP4, O2, Google maps, I'm about 1.5 miles away from myself in London.Personally I think it makes a mockery of the find my iPhone/iPad app.I guess with a TomTom app it's using satellites so would be more accurate?

Apr 8, 2010I've always love MM especially in the IPhone. However, if Gmail/calendar/services are available via EXCHANGE (true push)(OS 4 have multiple exchange accounts) then MobileMe is losing ground unless APPLE comes up with some new features.
Mail: Gmail > MM given that Gmail is free and EXCHANGE gives it instant push.
Calendar: PUSH unless you have Mac then it's easier to setup MM on iCal
Contacts: PUSH with EXCHANGE
Photo: MM slight edge given it has more space but Pisaso isn't bad
Google voice >> mobile me
Storage: MM (20GB)+ iDisk >Google but you can get other free DROPBOX etc.
Hosting: MM>Google because it can and google doesn't offer this service.
Locate your phone/wipe data: MM>Google
Cost: Google>>> MobileMe, free wins by a LARGE margin
Anyway, the advantages are dwindling fast and MM cost $69-99 per yrs. Come on APPLE give MobileMe some new firepower or offer it free for Apple users!
IPhone :: MobileMe / What Do You Use It For?
Jun 12, 2010I have been over the fence on MobileMe. The main attraction for me is the find lost phone feature but 100 bucks seem a bit much for it. The mail/calendar/storage features are attractive but not sure how much I'd use them. Wanted to get a feel from fellow folks here on how they use MM. Attaching a poll.

Jan 8, 2010I have one of the original iPhones. It has been working great, despite having taken a dip in the toilet. However, for the past week, randomly, it will display the wrong time. For instance, right now, it's 12:19 pm. My phone says 11:42 am. It's always pretty close to the actual time, so it's not a time zone issue. It is sometimes right, too. It's not a big deal, of course, but I was used to relying on my iPhone for an accurate time unlike my watch, which has a battery that can die without me knowing it. I use it as an alarm clock, but I've learned not to trust the time when I wake up.
Just wondering what the heck is going on with it? Anyone have a similar experience? I've noticed other odd things, like voice mails not showing up for a good amount of time after the phone call is received, text messages seeming to be delayed, and difficulty finding wifi connections.
IPhone :: Four MobileMe Calendars
Feb 26, 2010I spent the last two hours trying to get rid of these. Is there any way to delete these without deleting everything off my iPhone and starting over? I followed some steps online about disable the MobileMe calendar option, making a calendar in iCal and syncing that. That only gets rid of one of the MobileMe calendars.

View 7 Replies View RelatedIPhone 5c :: Voice Data Usage Not Accurate
Aug 20, 2014I Bought an iPhone 5c 2 weeks ago and am with T mobile for the first time. I use my phone mainly for texts, hardly ever for calling. My call history shows approx 30 mins of calls, even rounding up those of less than 1 min. However, the voice usage, shown in my settings is 1 hr 29 mins. How can this be? Are there other things that use voice data that I just don't know about? I have had no voicemail messages so haven't called voicemail. I have made no FaceTime calls. My monthly limit is 100 mins which I have never used before but am at risk of doing so if I can't work out why there is such a discrepancy.

Sep 2, 2010Well I am a developer and downloaded the official 4.1 gm from apple and installed. Every thing seemed fine until someone sent me a text and only the phone number showed up and not their name, went to contacts and saw that they did not sync with MobileMe. I tried toggling contacts in settings, did not help, I also tried deleting MobileMe account and resetting it up, nothing seems to work. I checked my MobileMe account and all the contacts are still there, I also checked my iPad and the contacts are still syncing there fine. One other thing is the calendar and book marks don't sync either.

Jul 29, 2010I never had this, albeit minor, problem on my old 3G. On my IP4.01 the MobileMe calendars are a little slow to load when I switch from month to month. For example, if I open up the calendar app, July loads up with all 4 of my calendars quickly. When I click to switch to August, it pauses for a few seconds, moves to the August calendar, then pauses for 5 seconds or so before the appointments display. It sounds petty, but its really annoying when I'm trying to quickly check my schedule.

IPhone :: Can't Turn Off MobileMe Email Alerts
May 9, 2012iPhone 4, iOS 5, iCloud. I have several email accounts on my iPhone and for some reason, it gives me an alert sound every time I get an email on my me.com account. The others don't alert me - I don't want alerts on any of them.
I turned Mail off in Notifications center and can't seem to find a notification setting for individual accounts. To be clear, I only get a tri-tone alert sound when .me mail comes in. Nothing in notification center. It gets really annoying because I'll get Apple marketing emails at 2-5am, waking me from my peaceful slumber!

Nokia :: 5800 How Accurate Is Your GPS?
Mar 28, 2010Anyway, my 5800 had an infamous vertical stripes issue. I sent it to one of my local Nokia service centers. They replaced the screen. The new screen-while doesn't have the vertical stripes-looks worse than the old one (minus the vertical stripes issue that kept coming and going on the old screen). The new screen has a yellow tint to it; it becomes much more apparent when not viewing the screen from a direct angle. (In other words, white appears somewhat yellow.) Also, the new screen is somewhat blotchy (kind of like bruises); the color is uneven -- this becomes very apparent when viewing a solid colour image file. (The worse part is the top portion of the screen-about 0.8 cm in length-which appears noticeably darker than the rest.)There was also a tiny crack (about 0.2 cm in length) on the bottom of the frame surrounding the screen.OK, so I didn't complain about the yellow screen and that tiny crack when I received my 5800 back from the service center. My bad. (I was in a rush to go to a movie.) Those imperfections bugged me somewhath, but I can live with them. What I'm really upset about is that I think the GPS does not perform as well as before I sent it to the repair center.
So here's the question: How accurate is your GPS?Before my 5800 went to the service center, I'm pretty sure its GPS was pretty much spot on. But after it came back, the best it can get in term of accuracy is around 10m on a very very very very very rare occasion and 15m on very very very rare occasions. Most of the times it showed that I was about 100-150m from where I actually was. This is all when the 5800 is not moving.When I used it inside a moving car, before it went to the service center, the GPS was spot on - even without A-GPS. Now even with A-GPS and edge on, it can barely keeps up; it's like it's lagging 500 m behind and sometimes showed that the car was on the side of the road that the car was not. Sometimes, it even showed that the car was somewhere that was actually quite far from the actual position. I went back to the technician; he said that it's not hardware-related. He said it's software, because my phone still detects the satellites. So he basically flashed the firmware again-according to what he told me. He also told me to reinstall the (ovi) maps, which I did. I don't think these really fix the issue. So before I went back to the repair center, I want to know how accurate are your GPSs?
