Can I use the Compass without the locator service running?

It seems to me that when I first got the phone I could use the Compass without have the Lat and Long displayed.
Is that still possible?

The "True North" mode needs the location since the difference from magnetic north varies by location.
An excellent point. I normally use mechanical compasses and do the compensation the same way; hadn't thought of the need for position data to do it the iPhone way!
Hmm .. now I wonder if putting the compass in magnetic North mode will let it work with location services off? Just tried it an the answer appears to be NO.

  • How can i use the web services

    i have a web service ,but what is need that can i use the web services?
    is only then oc4j,or anything?

    You need to write a client that will access the Web service and invoke it.
    You can write the client in Java for example - and JDeveloper provides wizards for this.
    There is a sample in the JDeveloper Reviewer guide here:

  • How do I start a petition so that I can name my Siri? Also I would like to bring to question the fact that when using British Siri you can't utilize the location services. Why?

    I love Siri. It's useful and fun and I love messing with it but why can't I name it? It's sort of a petty thing but I would like to be able to name our phone companions. Also apple kinda needs to fix the location services thing with the other Siri voices :) thank you.

    Send apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    What do you mean by the location services thing? As of iOS 6.0 us brits can use Siri to search for location-based stuff.

  • How can I use the 'Location' field?

    I'd like to use the location field on my Time Capsule to keep the correct GPS location. What is the correct format for this?
    How do I enable this so that devices can use this to set their location?

    I don't suppose it's likely to occure in a future release of time capsule software is it?
    On the Support Community, we are all users....just like you....so we have no way of knowing what Apple's future plans might be regarding new products or software.

  • How can I use the update service

    Hello experts,
    could you please explain me how to use the update service from a business object in the VC. I have created a object which contains following attributes:
    - key(ID)
    - created by(UserID)
    - creted at(Datetime)
    - modifiedAt(Datetime)
    - modifiedBy(UsedID)
    - argument(string)                 Kardinalität: 1...1
    I have developed an application service which returns the whole entries of the table.
    Now I want to select the row and update the attribute argument.
    (For example the value is 24, and now I want to change it to 25. )
    But if I test the service UPDATE in the Service Browser it cames always the error message that a value in the mandatory field argument is missing.
    Any ideas?????? I am using the NWDS SP1.
    Many thanks!!!
    Regards Marco

    Hi Marco,
    In CAF you can do it by first using the update method to retrieve the BO instance and set the new value.

  • Why are icons disappearing from my dock even tho I can still use the location to open the app

    How do I keep icons from disappearing from my dock - even tho I can click on the emptied location and open the "ghost" application?

    That sounds off. I would right click on the icon/space in the dock and click options>remove from dock. Then drag the application from the apps folder in finder to the dock again and see if it stays.

  • Question about the Location Services feature

    I have the iphone 4A.  How can I prevent the Location Services feature from coming on by itself after I turn it off?

    Hard to really say without testing.
    I would assume since there is a prompt to verify that it holds ids of txt to remove prior to saying yes so shouldn't get new ones.
    Can always test.
    Start a thread with yourself (eg: mail you txt email addres...for att users it is [email protected]) thus you can start a conversation.
    Then try clear option. Wait when it says are you sure. Then send another txt from computer. Wait to hear that it showed up, then confirm clearing.

  • Need help with the "Location Services"

    Hello, I haven't seen another topic about this so this is why I'm posting this.
    Recently, I've been wanting to use some apps which use the Location Services(where they need your current location), but every time they try to use it, it either says "Your current location could not be determined" or just doesn't do anything.
    -I am using a 2g iPod touch 8GB
    -I am connected to a WiFi network and can access the web
    I read some guides on the apple website. One said that not all locations can be determined, so I'm not sure if I'm in one of those.
    If you can help me with this, please post a reply. :]

    Hi TheFungus: The basis of Location Services on the iPod Touch is a service called Skyhook. For skyhook to be effective it needs to locate to a wireless router that has been registered with their system. If your wireless router or others in the area aren't registered, it will have no way of knowing where you are located.
    Hope this helps

  • How can i use my account without the billing info, as i do not have a credit card. and my shipping and billing info is under US. i'm in singapore. how do i change this?

    how can i use my account without the billing info, as i do not have a credit card. and my shipping and billing info is under US. i'm in singapore. how do i change this?

    If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

  • Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud.

    Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud and never will be able to.

    That is true - I apologize for not being specific - what I was mainly referring to is iLife applications. I have a notice on the App Store that says 3 apps need updates, I look at the apps and they are huge so since my connection is so slow I use my work connection and d'load the files from support to my Windows machine and carry them home, once d'loaded my MacAir states it cannot install, the update must come from the App Store.
    I do the same thing for large Leopard and Lion files and I can install them without error, it is just the App Store files that the system stops.

  • Can you use the apple time capsule as just a wireless hard drive without using it as a router

    Can i use the apple time capsule as just a wireless hard drive without using  a router

    You can, but this type of configuration is not recommended or supported by Apple.
    Two cautions if you want to try this:
    1)  The Time Capsule has to be configured to "Join" your existing wireless network in this type of setup...and to do that, you must know the exact type of wireless security that your network is using.
    2)  Backups are going to take twice as long. The wireless signal must travel from your computer to the wireless router and then from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule.  Two "hops"......even if the computer is located close to the Time Capsule.
    If you want to try this, we can tell you how....but with no guarantees on your results....since this is not officially supported.

  • I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV?

    I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV? I have a MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, but there are two issues with it: The new display doesn't have a VGA port, and even if it did, I wouldn't want to have my mac constantly attached to the display by a cable. I was looking for a way to use the TV as a display without any wires. Is there some type of bluetooth setup I could use? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:
