How accurate is the iphone finder with the time?

Hi,
I was wondering how accuate the iphone finder is with the time? I see from time to time it looks like it gets stuck in one place and then up dates and the phone moves to the new location, when I say stuck I mean about 15 to 30 mins not 1 or 2, I know the phone is moving from a bus within a city too.
was wondering how accurate this is for time or . If the iphone finder says it at a loctaion how true is that? could it be off with the time and location?
thanks,

Welcome to the Apple community.
The accuracy of the location itself, may vary from a few metres to quite large distances, depending on how good the connections are that the device has at the time.
So far as the time goes, I should imagine that that is fairly accurate. The time you see is the time that the last location was received, sometimes it may take a few minutes before the device is located again other times it may take much longer. However at the time stated, I feel you can be fairly certain that the location was correct, albeit in the minutes that have passed since, the device may well have moved a considerable distance.

  • My iphone was stolen how do i get the iphone blocked with the IMEI number

    how to get an iphone locked with the imei number?

    Ask your carrier as it varies from country to country.  In the USA, I don't believe any carrier maintains blacklisted IMEI numbers.  All they will do is cancel the account associated with that number, but they won't track and/or block that number.

  • I  spend good money for my iPhone i have the iPhone 5 with the new charger slot which is smaller. I have been through at least 3 charging cords and this is not acceptable to me. i never had a problem with this on my older phone. apple needs to correct tho

    I  spend good money for my iPhone i have the iPhone 5 with the new charger slot which is smaller. I have been through at least 3 charging cords and this is not acceptable to me. i never had a problem with this on my older phone. apple needs to correct this and reimburse me for this cord.

    Charging cords are covered by the iPhone warranty or their own warranty
    if puchased separately. Take your iPhone and the cords to your local
    Apple store for evaluation and possible replacement.

    Is it safe to charge the Iphone 5 with the Ipad 10 Watt charger?

    This will also make a good reading.

    As output voltage is correct, charging is safe. It will charge about twice as fast as compared to its own charger.

  • On the Apple webiste, I read that you must run OS 10.6.8 in order to sync the iPhone 5 with the computer. However, in the tech specs on the "Buy the iPhone now" email  I  received at my .me email address, it list the OS sytem needed as 10.5.8. Which is it

    In Reply to all fellow Apple fans: It is great that someone found a work-around to the iTunes 11.4 no syncing problem. I think that is fine for the short term. And  I am really glad that we customers have a forum to share information and experiences regarding Apple's products. However, as someone here said, we are all customers; and posting a problem here "IN HOPES THAT APPLE READS THESE POSTS" is NOT a way to resolve this issue or any issue.
    PLEASE CONTACT APPLE: Apple Service Center: 1-800-275-2273   - Once you get a ticket number then and only then is this documented and then Apple can follow-through and alert the engineers who will fix this.
    The "CWA2" work-around band-aid does several things in addition to reverting back to iTunes 11.3.1. :
    1) It ensures that Apple continues to know nothing of the problem.
    2) It ensures that the faulty code that is within 11.4 remains there and is perpetuated into future versions.
    3) It ensures that YOU can never upgrade to future versions. (If the resident faulty code remains and perpetuates)
    So once you have reverted back to 11.3.1, the problem APPEARS to have gone away (FOR YOU) but you have not solved the problem.
    Again, respectfully,
    1) Sending feedback to apple (using the "Report Bugs To Apple" menu item in Safari will get the information to someone, somewhere and add it to the pile of issues, complaints, suggestions, etc.
    2) CALLING the Apple service/support Center at  1-800-275-2273 will put you in touch with a real APPLE person who will begin the process of documenting and forwarding this issue on to those who will fix it.
    and
    3) emailing Apple directly will make sure that they get the information.
    lets get this fixed !!!!!!!!!

  • Is the iPhone compatible with the Music Link I have in my 2006 Honda Accord

    I have a 2006 Honda Accord with Music Link so I can play my iPod through the speakers. Is the iPhone compatible with this?

    Welcome to the forums.
    It appears that update 1.1.2 (or perhaps even 1.1.1) "fixed" some issues with the iPhone not working with certain iPod car stereo systems. However, not all seem to be working. As others have suggested, trying it may be the only way to know for sure.
    If you haven't bought it yet and this is one factor then perhaps you could borrow a friend's iPhone to see. However, I wouldn't make this the primary reason to buy an iPhone.

  • HT5025 I need an information about the voiceover utility. In Israel the Iphone comes with the VoiceOver/Siri in hebrew? Would be possible to a blind israeli use the Iphone? How?

    I need an information about VoiceOver/Siri in hebrew...
    Would be possible to a blind israeli use the Iphone? How?
    I ask you because the VoiceOver is not translated to hebrew...

    If what you are asking is whether additional languages can be added to iPhone Voiceover, the answer is "no".
    You can ask Apple to add Hebrew via

  • Sync contacts to the iPhone 4 with the computer doesn't work

    I used to do contact sync before but after I upgraded the IOS to 4.3 and the iTunes to 10.5, my contacts in the iPhone 4 & laptop are not in sync.
    Any ideas?

    Hello there WayneHope,
    It sounds like your camera is not launching at all. I want to recommend the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Camera isn't functioning
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Will the iPhone work with the Bose SoundDock Digital Music System?

    I want to get one of the new Bose SoundDocks but I'm not sure if it will work with the iPhone. I know it works with the iPod Touch but I know it's a little thinner than the iPhone. Has anyone tried using the iPhone with one of these?

    There isn't an adaptor that fits the iPhone but it works flawlessly with the iPhone. In fact, it works better with the iPhone than it does with the new Classic. The new Bose SoundDock has a nifty little remote that allows you to scan foward/backward through your playlists - this functionality works on the iPhone but not on a Classic iPod.

  • I have the iphone 2g with the $20 unlimited data plus 200 texts, is there any way to keep the tiered text messaging plan when I upgrade to the iphone 4s?

    I have the original iphone on AT&T with the $20 unlimited data with 200 text messages.  I know that I can keep the unlimited data plan when I upgrade to the iphone 4s, but I would also like to keep my 200 text message plan.  Is there any way for me to keep this feature?  Also on the original Iphone, I could upgrade to the unlimited data plan with 1500 text messages, if I upgrade this feature, will it extend my contract?
    Thanks,
    Ray

    Sorry no, there isn't a way to turn off those reminders.
