Can you use GPS app while talking on the phone at the same time?

Hi I'm just curious because I will be getting a iPhone 4 in May and I wanted to know if it's possible to be in a phone call while also using an GPS app?
Does the GPS app use the data connection or the GPS signal or satellites?
Thanks a bunch!
Bruce

Thanks and I also did some research and found out that with GPS active, if you load your route/directions prior to making a phone call the route will be cached and navigation still works. The GPS will tell you where you are along the route.
But if you're on the phone and then try to load a map or navigation it will not load your route until it can download the map, meaning you will need to wait until you get off the phone call to download the info.
So if you know you will need to use navigation, turn on your GPS, load your map/route to start navigation, then make your phone call. Makes sense to me now and if anyone needs to know here is the solution right here.

  • Can you use an app without needing to unlock security lock?

    My son has an iPhone 4 and I set up a password on it, so he doesn't use it for inappropriate usage. But, when he is home alone I sometimes have to call to check on him. He clearly receives the call, but cannot answer it because I had set up the security lock. Can someone please find a solution to this? Especially Apple? I would love to find out that Apple makes an update for this! The only thing you can do without unlocking the phone is the Camera.

    It is not necessary to type your passcode when answering an incoming call.  The "slide to unlock" button will instead display "slide to answer" while the iPhone is ringing.  The call is answered immediately after sliding the button.
    Are you sure that it is asking for the passcode?

  • Can you get to recents while talking on the phone?

    Greetings everyone,
    I was on the phone today and I wanted to look at my recent phone calls. I couldn't figure out how to do it.
    Thanks for any help.

    I have a work-around, since the in-call contacts screen doesn't include recents. While on the phone, tap the "Add call" (the plus) button. From there, you can go to Recents. If you want to see the number and more info on the contact, tap the blue arrow on the right of a contact. Just be careful, because if you tap the number, you will dial it and create a conference call.

  • Can you use other disk drives on mac mini rather than the superdrive?

    I have just purchased a mac mini and am exploring the various options available to me regarding disk drives?
    Are you limited to just the Mac Superdrive or can you use other makes and models?
    i read somewhere that some drives will only let you install software and not let you Burn Music or play games?
    Is that correct.

    I have three firewire burners daisy-chained to the mini for ripping my CD collection.

  • Can you use GPS and Navigation on a 5230 without a...

    Hi all,
    I'm just wondering if you can use the Maps software on a 5230 without a SIM card. It works perfectly well with one, but the sim I will use in this phone does not have a data package, so I don't want to use Maps if I can only get GPS data in conjunction with a data connection.
    Could someone please advise?
    Thank you!
    John.

    Hi GarfordJB
    Yes you can as just put my 5230 into "Offline" profile, but bear in mind that takes longer to lock on to position as totally dependent upon Integrated GPS.
    You would need to go to Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Positioning methods and disable all except "Integrated GPS" as per screenshot here:http://i50.tinypic.com/2lk4g1w.jpg
    In Maps application click on "spanner" icon bottom left of screen > Internet and set "Connection" to "Offline"

  • If I suspect someone is using GPS app they downloaded on their phone to track my iphone, how can I confirm this?

    I suspect someone downloaded a GPS app on their phone that allows them to track my iphone.  I understand that this app only works if I agreed to the notification.  If this person had control of my phone and agreed for me, is there any way I can detect if I am being "followed"?

    You could turn off the Find My Phone function and change the password on your Apple ID. You coudl also look at the settings for access to location data and turn off anythign suspicious. If that fails, you could wipe the phone and return it to factory settings.
    But the real question is why do you let "freinds" have control of your phone?

  • Can you use remote app on separate iPhones/AppleID's?

    I am trying to get the Apple remote app working on my wife's iPhone5.  We have two Apple TV's (v.2 and v.3) and would like to get her up and running to control them usng her iPhone.
    The remote app works fine when using my iPhone4S and iPad2.  When I launch the app, I see icons for each of our libraries and both Apple TV's.
    When she launches the app, she can see both of our libraries, but neither of the Apple TV's.
    Additional Info:
    My wife and I each have itunes/apple ID's/libraries on our respective computers. (OSX and WinXP)
    We both have Home Sharing turned on, on our computers and phones.
    The Apple TV's have both of our accounts set up in the Store settings.
    We can each access both libraries and send them to each Apple TV.
    I've been seaching the forums and trying everything I can think of.  Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Ok, I see.  I had to sign her into Home Sharing in the Apple Remote app itself.  In Music settings, I have Home Sharing set up with her account.
    All is well.  Thanks!

  • I can't use any apps while a call is going on.

    OK, so the calls on my Android phone usually go pretty well until I try to open another app. So, here's my question. Is there a way to open apps while a call is going on? I know it's possible because my friend did it.

    erjubama10, my wife just recently started complaining about a similar problem with her Unibody Macbook. She states that when she's plugged into the power adapter that the network is extremely slow.
    I just have not got a chance to get the Macbook from her long enough to try to isolate the problem. If an when I do I'll post my finding. Until then I fully expect you to figure it out for me, LOL!

  • Can I use both newly cloned MBPR retina and old-MBP with same Time Machine

    When my new-MBPR retina cloned from the old-MBP back up in Time Machine via migration assistance, will this newly-cloned MBPR continue thereon backing up with the same old-MBP back up in Time Machine? I.e. continuing same timeline?
    And what happen to my old-MBP back up, if I continuing to use my old-MBP with the same Time Machine on? Will TM recognised 2 different MBP and thus creating 2 back ups? I seem to have problem to keep 2 MBP running with same TM. Programs not responding even force quitting them!
    And what should I do to use both? Appreciate your help. Thank you.

    OK, but in general I can use this one device as both file storage and Time Machine.
    I thought that (for some reason) once I set up the Time Capsule to act just as Time Machine storage I would be unable to access it as a plain file storage.
    I have just tested it now, and it seems it can work as both - file storage and Time Machine. I can see the Time Machine backup file on it and folders where I can dump regular files.
    The only thing I would need to occasionally do is delete some old backups to keep Time Machine segment below 1 TB just so I have plenty of space for regular files.
    This thing is awesome. :)

  • Can you use GPS and get Live Traffic while using Turn By Turn?

    I can see the traffic if I am not using the turn by turn but as soon as I get directions Somewhere the traffic does not display. I have to cancel the navigation so it appears. Is this normal? It does this on both apple maps and google maps.

    Can someone please help me?
    thanks

  • Can you use more than transformation in a smart object in the timeline, ie for tweening?

    I know I can use transformation, but ideally I wish to 'distort' the pixels within a selection without changing the boundary, say with the liquify tool.
    If you can't do this, maybe Adobe can consider this feature for future release, ie giving greater manipulation control when tweening in a smart object layer in the timeline.

    The RealTime OS is an NI Product that is purchased from NI.
    NI may or may not outsource design, developement, or manufacturing of the products that it sells under its own Company name.
    For this reason I would be concerned if I were a PXI Embedded Controller designer/developer in the United States. 
    Yes, 126GB is some space.  I see that there are now 2TB drives available.  126GB would be 6.3% of a new 2TB drive.  Should we all be happy with being able to use 6.3% of the available drive space.  Moore's Law seams to be alive and well.  Drives larger than 126GB have been readily available for 5 or 6 Years.  This should not be a surprise to NI.  Why don't they do something about it.
    Thanks for the trivia on Bill Gates.  I must have missed that one since I don't try to keep up with Microsoft.  I believe that he is a wonderful person and he and his family are doing wonders for the world in their "retirement".   The world needs more like him.
    What I do remember is Steve Jobs telling us that we would never need more that 128MB and that we would never to need to do anymore software development because everything was already in the "ToolBox".

  • How can you delete an app if it turned out it was the wrong one ?

    Hi,
    I bought an app and it is useless. Is there any way that I can get rid of it and get my money back?

    You may not be able to get your money back... But to Delete an App...
    Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle.
    You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner.
    Tap it to delete an app.
    When done press the Home button.

  • Can You Use Migration Assistant to Just Get Files and NOT the Username?

    Im wondering this because i don't want to tamper with renaming the home folder and losing permissions. So I'm wondering if I can re-install Leopard on my MacBook and then use migration assistant to import all my files from time machine? Or do i just reinstall leopard and go into time machine after its done and just hit restore.
    In the end i wanna take my files from my MacBook to my iMac without having to carry the username over, is this possible? If not then i need to freshly install leopard on my MacBook so its identical to the iMac. so they are both identical.

    it's possible but if all you want to do is change username I HIGHLY recommend you follow these instructions:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/132693/2008/03/changeshortusername.html
    reinstalling leopard is completely unnecessary for this. Alternatively, you can create a new user on the current install with the name you want. then migrate all your user data from the current user to the new one. when done, delete the old user. see this link on instructions about what to move besides you own files
