IPhone :: If I Disable Data Services But I Have An External GPS Device Attached, Will My Phone Still Be Able To Use My Location
May 9, 2012
I don't have an unlimited data plan, so when I use my phone while traveling, every time I look on Google maps- or any other location-based app for that matter- it's using up my data plan and costing me money. I think it's stupid that Apple has tied the built-in gps inextricably to the data service- they could at least let the gps operate in a reduced capacity when data is unavailable. What is one supposed to do if one lives in or travels to a location with limited data network availability? At any rate, this is the world we live in, so my question is this: if I get an external gps receiver, and turn off my data service, will my phone be able to extract and use my location from the device?
I am getting error "Your Current Location is temperoryly unavailable" when I trying to use gpscompass or navigation or places.My GPS is working properly, My internet is also working properly.
For the last few weeks my GPS has been basically useless. Sometimes if I let it sit and hunt for 30 minutes it finally picks something up. This means it's very hard to use Google Navigator or RunTracks. MapMyRun would sometimes get a lock after letting it hunt for half an hour. Letting my phone sit to do that just drains the battery though.My phone has the latest updates. I used an app to see how many satellites it "sees", and it finds about 7 or so but doesn't recieve any positioning info from them. I've tried turning location services on/off and rebooting the phone. Tried the same thing plus also removing the battery.
Currently the phone has location services on in battery saver mode with location history off. After updating to 6.0.1 or some new version of the phone app I have been unable to search for nearby places in app. The toggles for it have been turned on and off multiple times, turned the phone on and off, played with turning location settings on in different modes with the location history on and off in each scenario. Haven't tried clearing the cache and I don't find it to be a big enough problem to warrant a factory reset.
I've upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS v. 5.1.1 and now both my phone service and data service are no longer working. I called AT&T's (my carrier) tech support and they got it working for a few minutes but as soon as I got off the phone with the agent it stopped working! My account with them is current.
i had downloaded Kaspersky anti virus a year ago. I want to delete it but its not happening. It ask to disable encryption and privacy protection of phone. When i tried that it showed me that encryption of my phone is off. Please help me out on this.
I have just bough an HTC Sensation, signed up for HTC Sense all seems to be working except 'Device location' says device finder is off - well, it isn't off, its on, but no matter what I do the location does not register. I have seen other posts saying that this feature is generally not working.Is this still the case or does it depend where you are?
I have an iPhone 3G, running 3.0.1, jailbroken with redsnow. I have SBSettings installed and obviously openSSH, amongst other things.Whenever I switch my phone on SSH and location services seem to switch themselves on. This particularly annoying as it then burns through my battery life, which is bad enough already, if I forget to switch them off.
Location services suddenly only works when apps like Maps are used - Otherwise the icon disappears from menu bar. Find my iPhone in iCloud sees the device as 'off'. Have rebooted iPhone4, re-inserted SIM card (which Location Services doesn't need), turned it on and off several times.
an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1 confirm whether the iPhoto app shows up in Settings > Location Services? I'm sure it used to appear below iMovie, but I might be mistaken.

I'll be traveling to Europe in about to weeks.I would like to know if saving the locatioin for where pictures were taking would increase the bill for when I travel to Europe.
My iPhone 3GS is telling me location services are off. When I go into settings it says it is on, but it is not responding, i.e. I can't change it from on to off.
I've tried thousands of times connecting my phone to my PC but it says the one of the USB devices attached to the this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. I want to transfer photos and videos to my PC but I really don't know how.
I am an iPhone 4 user with the most recent iOS update. I frequently use the Facebook application. As of recently I am unable to upload new photos. The status bar reads complete, however, nothing happens. I was told to check my Location Services to verify I had it turned on for the FB app, however, upon doing this I realized the application no longer even shows up as an option within the Location Services. I'm guessing this to be part of the issue, however, I have zero clue as to why it no longer shows up period vs just having it accidentally switched off.
The location services button is grayed out (in the off position and I cannot select ON or OFF. Why is this? I am trying to set up location thru Find My Phone, and this button needs to be ON in order for the phone to be tracked.
I am hearing various conflicting statements about leaving the "Location Services" on. Some people say it burns the battery, others say the effect is negligible.
I want some of my apps to use the location services & to be able to turn it off, but it's all greyed out. Same with my Cloud. I read thru the entire manual, with no luck. My iPhone 4S is from Verizon.
Lost or had my phone stolen today. Tried to use my Find My iphone app but the location services are disabled on the phone. Is there any way to remote activate the location services on the phone?
Did a clean install of iOS 5.1.1 on my 4S. Everything worked great until I restarted my device. Apart from Find My iPhone not working, Maps and Compass are unable to find my location. Error message 'Cannot Determine Location' being displayed and the pink icon in the status bar does not appear. It works fine for Camera, Twitter and Siri though.
I cannot turn on my location services and my AT&T Data is not responding appropriately either! The key board is acting strange like a remote app is typing
My iCloud find my phone has gotten disabled and I cannot turn on location services on my phone for apps and websites! I would send as screen shot but can't see anywhere to upload pic?
Info: iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1, It is not responding well to msuppo
To save power I go into Settings and turn on/off the all the Location Services. Is there any plans to add location services in the control center for quicker access? Or is there something already in place?
I have the current version Facebook app on my iPhone 4 and after updating the iOS to version 5.1 I can no longer upload pics to Facebook. I've read that this is usually caused by Facebook location services being turned off. After checking the Settings > Location Services menu I noticed Facebook isn't even on the list. I've tried deleting the Facebook app and reloading it from the app store and I also rebooted my iPhone but Facebook still isn't in the Location Services menu?
My iPhone was stolen today from my locker at the gym and I went home and used [URL] to locate my iphone but it keeps saying my phone is offline and that it needs to connect to the internet. I have always had the location service enabled so I dont know why this is happening. What can I do? Whenever I call my iPhone it goes straight to answering machine too
