Battery Savings Mode uses "location service" although not active

Dear all,
although the battery savings mode settings exclude/deactivate the location service the monitor says the opposite. Every time the savings mode is active the "location service" uses around 30% of all resources during such time.
Bug or "feature' ?
Thanks
Sandro

    Did you have a passcode lock on it?  Or did you have restrictions enabled?  If not, it is very possible someone has found it, simple disabled location services in settings, and is using it.  If you did not secure it, anyone with it can do anything they want with it as it is when found.

  • Website not asking permission for using location services in Safari iOS 6

    Website is not asking permission for using location services when using Safari mobile  on iOS 6.0 (iPhone 4s)
    Steps to replicate:
    1. Go to http://maps.google.com using Safari
    2. Choose "allow" to use location services
    3. Close Safari and wait 1-2 minutes such that the arrow sign (in the top right) disappears
    4. Go to http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 using Safari
    5. The arrow sign (in the top right) appears showing that the location services are used when viewing http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 (even few hours later)
    Why the site http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 is not asking permission to use location services?
    The Nature journal (site: ww.nature.com) is not affiliated with Google in any way as far as I know!

    I figured out how to stop this from happening. I did 3 things, and I'm not exactly sure which one of them did it because I did them all at the same time.
    1. Turned on Private Browsing
    2. Cleared Cookies and Data
    3. Turned off JavaScript
    This stopped time.com from using my location without permission.
    I then turned off Private Browsing and went back to the same page, and it continued to NOT use my location.
    I'm thinking JavaScript being turned off might be the solution. However, there is a bug that causes JavaScript to turn on again without permission at times:
    http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/12/21/ios-6-bug-reenables-javascript-in-safa ri-without-user-consent
    So just be aware of that. But hopefully doing the above works for you!

  • My ipod touch is using location services of china and does not show the place where i am living in india.

    when i use location services through wi-fi my ipod doesnt show my exact location and uses china as default location , so i am encountering problems while yousing apps like watsapp or wechat etc. plz give me a solution

    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. or finds one that has it location as China.  Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. However, I do not know if that applies to India. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.

  • IPhone 6 Motion Calibration Always Using Location Services

    hi
    just received my iphone6 and is updated to ios8.
    IVe noticed that the location services was constantly on so went through each item which was enabled for location sharing and disabled one by one. I discovered that under Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Motion calibration was purple. As soon as I disabled it location sharing icon switched off. As soon as i enabled it it came back on again and the purple icon showed up next to motion calibration meaning it was in use.
    So my question....what is motion calibration and why is it constantly using location services??
    thanks

    yes i have the same question, new iphone 6, restored from icloud back-up from my iphone 5, and motion calibration is using location services very frequently. it doesn't appear to be draining my battery to badly, but id just like to know exactly what its doing so i can know whether or not i want to  keep it on. turning it off until i know exactly whats its doing.

  • IPhone 6 location services/gps not working

    Anyone else have an issue with iPhone 6 location services/gps not working? I have had it happen to me twice where it stopped working for good 7 or 8 hours and then all of sudden it starts working again. For example, directions don't work, every time I open Apple Maps it will say "Cannot determine location", then when I press the location icon on the bottom left, it will try to search again and have an approximate location but not exact, where as the iPad that I have right next to it is able to pin point the exact location. Sometimes the location circle is pulsing blue sometimes its gray. If I am driving and have tracking on it won't track, and so on.  I have tried to setup the phone as new without restoring the backup, when it stopped working with no luck, it still didn't work. I went and restore it back from backup and few hours later it started to work again. This has happened twice now since I got the phone last Friday.

    Check your "Privacy" settings on your iPhone see what apps are using your location.

  • How do i use location service to ind my iphone?

    how do i use location service to find my lost iphone?

    Silica Gel usually comes in a porous bag within a perforated box. Put the bag and the phone in a ziplock bag together. If you buy loose silica gel just put it in the plastic bag, then put the phone on top of it. Try not to get the grains of silica gel in the openings on the phone, as it will be hard to get out.

    Greetings Biyase, 
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like the Outlook app is not launching after you updated iOS. In this case, I recommend the troubleshooting steps found at this link:

  • App using Location Services

    I am having a problem with my iPad Mini Retina NOT using location services in my local weather app.  I have 2 iPads, the mini and an iPad 4 and the 4 uses location services just fine.  I have checked all the settings and they are exactly the same on both iPads plus I have reset the mini and deleted the weather app and reinstalled.  I did update to IOS 8 hoping somehow that would fix it but did not.  IOS 8 however did not cause the issue (nor any others so far). 
    On the mini I do get the closest large city that I had already set as an alternate location on both.  Both the primary and alternate are listed on this mini but the mini picks up the alternate instead of the location selected as the primary.  I get an error message that says GPS error.  Advice anyone?

  • How do I add an app so that it can use Location Services under Mountain Lion?

    Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, my VPN is no longer able to determine my location so that it can connect to the nearest gateway. I have Location Services enabled but my VPN is not listed as an app that is allowed to use it nor can I figure out a way to add it and at no time does it ever ask to use it. So how exactly do I add an app so that it will use Location Services?

    I lost my iPod touch in a club last Saturday. Was on, had a passcode on it but I didn't have Find My iPhone installed. I'm not sure if this is correct information, but an Apple store clerk said that I would still be able to track it if I had registered it with iCloud, which I have done
    What you needed to have already done was to have went to Settings>iCloud and turned FindMyiPod on.
    . The problem is, though, even if this information is true, how will I be able to find it? It's an iPod touch with no GSM/CDMA capabilities. Therefore, it cannot be found unless it was connected to Wi-Fi.
    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. Thus, wifi has to be on.
    But how would that be possible unless the person who found it knows my passcode?
    Wifi just has to be on and connected to report its postition to you by going to icloud.com as explained in a previous reply.
    I'm guessing that if the person wipes and restores the device, I will have no way of finding it... unless it works off the serial number?
    If the iPod is restored, you can no longer find it via icloud.com. I uses turning FIndMyiPod on, not the SN,.
    Thanks.

  • Spotlight Suggestions always using location services iOS 8.1

    Hi all,
    I'm running iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5 and always have the location arrow top right of the screen. This seems to be down to "Spotlight Suggestions". As soon as I switch this off, the arrow goes and only comes on occasionally as expected. I assume this is not normal behaviour when not searching?
    Has anyone else seen this issue and able to offer any resolution without disabling? Should I reset safari etc?
    Many thanks
    Steve

    If you have Bing Web Results and/or Spotlight Suggestions turned on, it will use location services. (Settings app > General > Spotlight Search). That is normal behavior.

  • HT4995 Internationally using Location Services without having data charges.  What settings should use on my iPhone 5?

    I'm traveling to Europe and I want to use Location Services without having data charges.  What settings should use on my iPhone 5?  I want to be able to use Trip Advisor City Guides Application to tour around cities for free.  I have a Verizon International Plan for my trip, but it is still pricey.  I would like to keep my iPhone cell services on for incoming calls, but I want to prevent international data charges.  Thanks for your help!

    You don't "choose" to use th 3g network.
    If you have paid for it in your plan and 3g coverage is available, your phone will automatically use it when necessary.
    3g provides faster internet speeds than 2g, so you can watch video or download stuff faster. Wifi is normally faster than 3g.
    Your iphone gps is "assisted", meaning it uses network data to calculate your position.
    Also, you would still need the network to download maps, directions etc as they are not on your device.

  • Siri always using location services?

    I do not know if it is supposed to be like this but i just noticed it this morning the location services icon in the upper right is always on. I went to settings to see what was using it and it was Siri. Is this supposed to be like this? Thanks.

    Yes, Siri uses Location Services extensively.
