Altitude/cold issues for iPhone 4?

I've had an iPhone for the past 3 years, and have updated this past weekend to the latest edition (4). I've been singing the praises of the phone at work for a few years now and have almost convinced my boss to get one. He just came into my office and we talked about this issue:
He's a mountain climber. He needs a new GPS, but has heard the iPhone has a GPS chip in it. His understanding is that the phone has GPS issues above 10,000 and below 32 degrees., He is subjected to both conditions on serious climbs. Is there an app that can help him despite the temps/altitude? Is the 10,000/32 just a rough number?
Any mountain climbers out there that can assist me?

Well here are the specs about environment ranges for iPhone
Environmental requirements
* Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F
(0° to 35° C)
* Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F
(-20° to 45° C)
* Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
* Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m)
Not sure how an App can alter any of that. A good case may but still face altitude issues.

  • Screen protector signal issues for iPhone 4?

    I've been having the same problem with my iPhone 4 for a while now. The phone is perfect otherwise but on most occasions while using the phone i've been experienceing a loud crackling noise when making noise when making/recieving calls or no sound at all (no ringing and can't hear the other person speaking) however the speakers/mic work fine..
    I've had a matte screen protector on the front of my iPhone ever since i've started using it and just recentley removed it and the phone is working perfect with the crackling/no sound problem gone! I have perfect clairity when making calls!
    I was just wondwering is this possible that the screen protector could have caused this? To me I believe it has as the issue is now gone but my family don't think this is the case as it doesn't sound very likely a piece of plastic could do this?
    Also if anyone could suggest a screen protector that could help prevent this from happening again I'd be very greatful. I think I might have to trial and error but some suggestions on where to start would be appreciated! My previous protector that I believe caused me this problem was the Power support HD anti-glare film ser for iPhone 4
    Thanks in advance!

    It's hard to believe a screen protector can cause such a problem, I still think it's tricky to blame the problem on your screen protector.
    Maybe you could try some super thin screen protector and see if the same problem  would happen again. If it does, then it's definitely something wrong with your iphone.

  • ITunes Downloading Issue for iPhone Update 4.3

    Hey,
    I have an iPhone 4, and I'm running a MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard. For the past three hours, I've been trying to update my iPhone 4 to 4.3, and halfway through each update, iTunes disconnects the download, and I try to resume the download, but it won't pick up from the original point. It just restarts the download rather than resume. I have a pretty mediocre connection as it stands, but I can get this downloaded in a timely manner. I'm just wondering why it won't resume and restarts instead more than anything.
    Any answers are much appreciated!

    Hi,
    I have a pretty mediocre connection as it stands
    Not sure exactly what you mean by mediocre but once the connection is dropped then the download has to start from scratch.
    Try restarting your iPhone and your Mac. Then try updating to 4.3
    It may not be your connection but your MacBook (Pro?) unless you were able to resolve the kernel panic issue here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11001688#11001688

  • Ios 6 email issue for Iphone

    Ok before I updated my Iphone too Ios 6 I could read work information speadsheets from the email attached to the phone. Now (after updating my phone to Ios 6) I can not read those same emails. The spread sheet still appears, most of the information is readable. But the core information has a zore-sum code in the box. Not sure what too call it. I have tried the "letter opener" app, but gives me the same problem. I am pretty sure the email are a outlook express file.

    A week or so ago somebody posted a simeila/same problem. It seems that iOS 6 no  longer reads/displays Excel speadys geneated with older versios of Excel.
    You can try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

    Can anyone tell me how to "reactivate" my phone having downloaded iOS 4.5.  It will not accept the fact that my sim card is in the phone and the message that it will take a few minutes to complete the process has been on my phone for days!

  • ITunes download issues for iPhone 4s

    I cannot get my iphone 4s to update to iTunes 11.1. I have updated iTunes on my PC and still no luck.

    You do not update iTunes on the phone in that manner. Besides, iTunes will not need to be updated on the iPhone. Double check your iTunes on the comptuer to ensure that you are using version 11.1. What computer OS are you using? Restart the computer and do a reset on the phone. For the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will restart. If you do have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, it should work then.

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,

  • ANY UPDATES FOR IPHONE 4S to fix WIFI ISSUE

    ANY UPDATES TO FIX THE WIFI (UNABLE TO JOIN NETWORK) FOR IPHONE 4S? THERES A NEW OS FOR IPHONE5, WHY NOT BOTHER TO FIX THIS ISSUE FIRST???

    Ever since I upgraded my iphone4 to ios6 I can't get stable connection with home wifi. I am sitting less than 5 feets from the router. My iphone either cannot find the hotspot or getting very weak signal. And it's so weak it will break every two minutes. My ipad is running ios5 and it connects instantly. My ipad can find dozens of hotspots; my iphone can't even find my home wifi.
    Yes, I have tried every solution on the web, changing my router setting, reset network setting, recover to orginal settings.... NONE OF THEM WORKED. It is obvious a software problem. IOS6 does not support my router as it did in IOS5.
    Seriously, if Apple does not fix this problem, I'm gonna switch the system.

  • Has any one figured out how to fix an issue I'm having. My iPhone 5 randomly shuts off by itself. Then it won't turn on when i try to hook it up to iTunes it says its in recovery mode. so then i hit restore and its been stuck on waiting for iPhone.

    This happened after I did a software update on my phone about a month and a half ago. My phone will randomly shut off by itself and wont come back on. I had spoke with an apple repair person over the phone who told me to hold in the home button and then plug it into my computer. When the iphone said that there was an error and gave him a code he suggested that I send it in. So I did and about a week and a half later I get it back and its on. Yet the problem still occurs. It shut off twice in the same day and for several hours would not come on. When it did I called apple again and they ran a diagnostic on my phone and said it was a software issue. So then why was it not fixed? They told me they could not duplicate the problem. And now it happens about once or twice a week now. And its happening right now. I have it plugged into my computer and the apple logo with a bar below it has been on for about 20 min now. And itunes is still saying "waiting for iphone." 

    Hello Elliiee,
    The steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone.
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
