IPhone :: Location Services Are Not Working Properly On 4S IOS 5.1.1?
Jun 7, 2012
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.
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.
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.
I have had trouble for some time with OVI contact syncing. I use the online contacts view to edit and add contacts. I have noticed that most of the contact changes I make in the web interface (like adding an email address) are not synced to the phone. Today I added 4 new contacts in the web then synced several times, and just one was copied to the phone. The sync registry in the phone showed correctly that just one contact had been added to the phone. The phone is a Nokia E51 and I am syncing over WiFi.
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.
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?
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
I leave location services off because it kills battery life, and I very rarely use it. Coupled with the graphical power needed for the iMovie app, the battery life is rather worse than with my normal settings. Other apps don't have this asinine need for location services to be turned on, so why does the Apple built iMovie app need to?
*Edit* I know that it does this so it knows which location to use on the Travel theme, but why isn't there an option to turn it off?
I am using an iPhone 5S 64GB 7.1.2 version installed. I do not find Airdrop logo on my iphone also the location services is locked and cannot be changed.
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?
