Does the gps still work iphone if not connected to internet

so some kid took my iphone5 out off my hand and passed it around at lunch and now i dont know what to do i put it in lost mode then it went offline can i still find it even when its offline

The GPS works if the phone is still powered on, but if there is no internet connection, either cellular or Wi-Fi, then you will not be able to track it. If you did not have a passcode on the device, then change the passwords on all of the accounts you have on the phone. More than likely the device is powered off, which is why you are seeing the offline message.

Using an iPhone4 with no Service plan...does the GPS still work?

If you take an iPhone 4 that does not have a Cell plan at all, and use it like an iPod Touch, will the GPS still work? Obviously, the assisted GPS portion will not work, but we're looking to use certain apps that measure distance via GPS (specifically, running apps like Zombies Run). These apps will run on an iPod Touch, but the absense of a GPS chip means that certain features are disabled or not quite as accurate. We have no intention of ever purchasing a cell plan for the phone, we're just looking to get an iPod Touch with GPS built in to it.

Reset the iPad and try again. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons, let the iPad start up.

IPhone 4s not connecting to Internet and if it does can't go to links

MMy 4s may connect to Internet or may not. If it does it won't go to links. If on Facebook can't see comments or go to notifications. Tech no help. Sent me a different phone and does the same

my wife's iphone 4S has the same problem. All of sudden 3G data is no longer working and battery is draining very fast, to the point that you can see the percent points going down as you look at the phone.
I found a solution on this forum http://www.iphoneforums.net/forum/iphone-help-15/4s-data-not-working-3g-23911/ that seems to fix the data problem at least. Don't know about the battery problem as I have just applied the fix.
I read on the Apple discussion forum about a quick easy fix that the German T-Mobile is telling their customers to do to circumvent this Apple software issue. The phones affected are apparently only the 4S with OS 5.0.1 (9A405). This fix works for about 80% of the 4S phones that have this problem.
Go to:
Settings>Phone>Sim Pin>Sim Pin Off.
You may have to reboot the phone for the change to take effect. The change works on my phone. Good luck. And thanks for nothing, Apple.

Iphone will not connect to Internet without WIFI connection

My iphone will not connect to the internet without a wifi connection.
I have restored the settings many times. But i still have this problem.
I get a message on safari which says 'could not activate celluar data network'
what do i do?

If you have restored your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup and as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup with no change, have you contacted O2? Your line may need to be reset by O2, which will involve turning your iPhone off whole O2 does the reset at the server, or possibly there is a problem with your SIM card.

Iphone 5s not connected to internet?

Hello! My new iphone 5s worked fine for the first couple of weeks, but at the moment, it is not connecting to the internet except through wireless network- so if I am just out and about, and not connected to wifi, it will not connect to internet at all. Could anyone advise me of how to trouble shoot this? i have data roaming button switched on.
Thanks!
Sarah

Try a Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

How does the gps on my iPhone 4S know we're I am if I have no service, it's in airplane mode, and wifi is turned off ?

Let me just say that I didn't get the answer I wanted from contacting apple care and the customer service rep was very rude and gave me what seemed like a short answer just to get me off the line. So here I am hoping that someone can give me a straight answer.
I have an iPhone 4S and I have not had cellular service associated with it for over a year now. It's basically acting as an iPod touch right now.
Yesterday I took a car trip to Boston with my wife and I was playing around with google maps. I had loaded our destination prior to leaving our home so the route information was still loaded. I have my 4s on airplane mode all the time so constantly searching for a signal wouldn't drain my battery. I turn wifi off when I'm not in a hotspot for the same reason as well. So as I was looking at our route info I noticed that the little node that indicates your position was moving along with our corresponding location almost as accurate as any other gps. This concerns me because
1- I have no service on this phone
2- airplane mode is enabled
3- wifi is disabled
Now the even weirder thing is that my son has a nexus tablet. Just strictly wifi. We pulled into a rest stop and conveniently it had free wifi. So I loaded our route info onto his Google device. When we got back on the road I turned wifi off on his tablet and SHOCKER the node was moving along with our position.
I want to know why my iPhone 4S running on iOS 7.0.4 is receiving gps data when all of the supporting features are turned off. As an added concern I would like to know why my sons wifi-only tablet is receiving gps data as well.
What is apple doing with its devices or what is google doing to their devices and/or application software.
Thank you to whoever helps me out with this.

Because GPS has nothing to do with WiFi, cellular signals, or data of any sort. GPS is implemented by signals sent by satellites that are received by GPS receivers. The receivers process the information from the GPS satellites and calculate your location. GPS never sends data anywhere; GPS functionality is receive only.
If you have WiFi or cellular data turned on this can improve the accuracy of GPS, because the GPS receiver can then use the known location of cell towers and WiFi networks to refine the GPS location. GPS by itself has an accuracy of 10 meters, or about 34 feet. Using the additional information from WiFi and cellular data this can be brought down to 3 meters (10 feet). This mode is called Augmented GPS, or A-GPS.

Does the GPS function work if you are out of cellular & wifi range?

How does the aGPS function of the iPhone 3G work? Do you have to have a cellular or wifi connection to be able to get a location fix, or will GPS satellite signals-only be sufficient?

Question?
Answer.
If you don't have EDGE, or 3G, how is the iPhone MAP app going to download the map?
It won't, as it can't.
I don't believe they are built in.
You believe right.
This is why Apple needs to let someone build a true GPS app for the iPhone, which you can download the maps to the phone.
Maybe. But this was not the question. The question was, if the iPhone 3G would be able to find it's location even without WiFi and cellular network. And yes, it would find the location. The question was not if it would be able to display that location in the Maps app.

"lost" my iPad. Will the GPS still work after battery dies? Also, how can I get the serial number for police report?

Please help! I "lost" my iPad at a local store. The GPS on my phone shows the iPad is still in the store (over 24 hours.) I've searched every square inch of the store and cannot find it. I fear it may have been "stashed" by an employee. The police need a serial number for a report. How do I get that? Will I still be able to locate it via GPS after the battery dies?

Did you register it with Apple? If not, you would have had to write it down. Once the device goes out of wifi or if the thief turns wifi off...its gone. All they have to do is restore it as new, you wont be able to detect it again. Sounds bleak I know but its hard to get it back once its gone...no matter what Apple says.
I really hope it turns up...I hate thiefs. Best of luck.

Will the gps still work when you have no wi-fi or cell service?

just wondering if the gps is stand alone? so i can use it as a chart plotter on a boat.

Yes you can use GPS on a boat. You must download the charts of the area you will be sailing in to your iPad before leaving. Keep in mind that the iPad is very hard to view in bright sunlight.
Of course my response assumes you have the correct iPad model that has the GPS hardware. The wifi-only iPad does not contain GPS hardware.

Why does the calendar on my iPhone 4 not show dots since the IOS 6 upgrade?

Since I upgraded the ios on my iPhone 4 to IOS 6 the dots on the monthly calendar are no longer there. Can anyone tell me how to get them back?

I have this exact same problem down to every detail. I've gotten to the point where I almost want to soft-reset my phone on a preventative level every day at lunch time because I have already been late receiving several urgent messages (work and personal) due to this issue. I had iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 before I upgrade to the 6 and didn't have this problem - perhaps it is hardware/firmware related?

Verizon iPhone 5s not connecting to Internet, haven't updated to new iOS 8.1.3

This morning I tried logging onto Safari on my Verizon iPhone 5s, but it wouldn't connect; the only thing Safari said was "Safari couldn't connect because the server stopped responding" and it continued to try and load the page to no avail. The Internet on my MacBook (I use Safari on my computer as well) works just fine. Last week the Internet was down for a few hours in the morning in my neighborhood, but I don't think that's the case now since my computer's internet works just fine. Also, my internet-based apps like Facebook are showing up, but they aren't loading new information, so basically it's information frozen at the time the internet stopped working. Messenger on Facebook is working though, and giving me new messages as they come. How are some things working for the Internet on my phone if Safari is NOT working at all and is NOT loading at all?

Are you using WiFi or cellular data? If you're on WiFi, try turning WiFi off temporarily and test it on the cellular data network.
When the phone goes into standby, the WiFi radio will be powered down to conserve battery life after a few minutes. If you're getting messages while the phone is in standby, that may be why, if there is a problem with the WiFi network.
Have you done any troubleshooting at all?
Reboot? Reset network Settings? Reset your router? etc.?
