How to calibrate location services

I just returned from a walk around the neighborhood.  During the walk I thought of two things I wanted to be reminded of and asked Siri (who lives inside my iPhone 5) to remind me of them when I got home.  She said she would.  But one reminder alarm went off almost a block from my house and the second one went off about 200 feet away from my house.  Is there any way to improve the calibration of whatever sensors or chips that Location Services uses so these alarms go off only when I really do get home?  That may be asking for too much.

If you cant find it there go to settings/general then restrictions and you might find you have restrictions on.  Tap on that enter your passcode and then down to location services.  Make sure allow changes is ticked or go down to the app that is asking for that service and turn on the service for that app

  • TS3274 How come My location services aren't working, I've reset the location warnings.

    How come My location services aren't working, I've reset the location warnings.

    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
    Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
    You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

  • HT5594 How I can turn online location Services on ?

    How I can turn online location Services on ?

    Hi Al-Amri
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You referenced the current article regarding how to use Location Services on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch:
    iOS 7: Understanding Location Services
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5594?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Turning Location Services on or off
    You can turn Location Services on or off at Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn Location Services on either during the Setup Assistant process or later through the Location Services setting. You can turn it off if you don't want to use this feature or to conserve battery life. You can individually control which apps and system services have access to Location Services data.
    Cheers,

  • HT4995 The last i-Phone update, iOS 5.1.1 / location services issue

    All, with my i-Phone update to iOS 5.1.1, "location services" now comes on when I'm in the "messaging" or "settings" app with no way to turn off individually.  Don't know why Apple decided to do that.  Anyone know how to turn location services off for these two apps?  Appreciate the help.

    eek!
    I just did an update from 6.1 to 6.1.1 First it failed twice, so I turned the phone off, then turned the phone back on. And now I get only the picture of the phone wanting to be plugged into itunes. what the heck!
    I haven't plugged into itunes in millenia anyways, its all icloud. What happened to recovering from icloud? Why is the phone in recovery mode?
    First update ever to fail me. Seems they rushed it.

  • Left my phone in the movie theatre..what do I do? how do i contact location services?

    I just left my phone in the movies...and now they are closed!  how do I contact location services to make sure it is still there?

    If you were running iOS 5 or higher, had enabled iCloud and Find My iPhone before losing it, you can go to icloud.com on your computer and try to locate it as outlined here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.  If it's turned on, still has Find My iPhone enabled, and has a connection to the internet, it should appear on the map.
    If you didn't enable Find My iPhone before losing it you won't be able to locate it.

  • 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.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

    How do I add my new iPhone4s to iCloud's "Find my iPhone"? I followed the iCloud instructions and turned on Macbook Pros' system prefs to "find my mac", turned on iPhone4s's "location services" and set up iCloud, etc. In the "Find my iphone" tab of my new iCloud account (on my Macbook Pro) my iPhone4s still won't show—but my macbook does show. I had my iPhone4s set up at the phone store (2 days ago) and It receives gmail, my contacts and calender entries, the weather, etc. I installed the "Find iPhone" app from iTunes on the iPhone4s, synched to iTunes, even reset the phone, but the only device that gets located is my Macbook Pro. I can send a "sound" message to my Mac (and the Mac recieves it) but unable to see the iPhone4s from my Mac, let alone send any message. Any suggestions to get the iPhone4s device to appear in iCloud?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    OK, I figured it out...I deleted the iCloud account off my iPhone (Settings, iCloud, Delete Account), and then added iCloud back in (Settings, iCloud, SignIn)....and then my email (iCloud) and "Find my phone" features worked! Nice!!!!

  • How can I remove applications from the location service?

    In System Preferences> Security & Privacy> Privacy> Location Services are applications that ask the system to use the position of the Mac
    I realized, after uninstalling applications (Beta and Tweetbot Tweetbot 1.0MacAppStore and also Busycal)
    are not removed completely.
    In place of the icon there is a sheet with the application name
    Can anyone tell me how to clean this section?
    Applications the uninstall utilizizzando CleanMyMac, AppZapper and CleanApp
    but I did not get the desired result.
    I also looked into the operating system, but I found no trace

    You can't remove anything in that list - it is placed there by the system unfortunately. As long as you do not have any checked, nothing will happen. When I got my new MBP, I immediately unchecked the "enable location services" and assume that is the reason why there is nothing showing at all:
    However, I have a number of applications listed in the Contacts section - I've not allowed any because I fail to see a valid reason why a word processing app or iMovie needs my Contacts.

  • How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius.

    How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius. Still nothing has worked. I'm still stuck with Genius offering the same apps to me. Mind you, once I click on the App Store there is nothing I can do but swipe left and right. There's absolutely nothing at the bottom of the screen like a features tab, nothing. There is, however, a categories button at the top, but that's it. Irrelevant.

    FWIW, I just got off the phone with Apple technical support about this.  I use Genuis for creating playlists, so I don't want to disable it, but Apple support confirmed that there is no way to avoid syncing Genius data without disabling Genius altogether.  I'd read somewhere else that subscribing to iTunes Match might allow you to avoid this, but that is NOT the case, as I've confirmed, and Apple support has confirmed.  For me, it routinely syncs thousands genius of items, so I have to allow a lot of time for my manual syncs.

  • HT4528 I recently downloaded the newest software and now my Iphone 4s shows the location services Icon is on all the time.  How can I change this back to what we originally had or is there a fix for this?

    When I downloaded the most recent software update the location services Icon showed up even thought I was not running any programs.  Is this something new and is it going to drain my battery?  This was not happening before the download.  I am told I have to just turn off the location services biut I do use them on a daily basis and it seems to be a pain to have to shut if off everytime.  Does anyone know how to fix this or am I just screwed until I upgrade the phone?

    Hi Avahhava,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    As a first step, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If you have tried those two things, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:

    I can not get NFL Game Pass or Siri to work???

    Well you can plug it into itunes and under summary tab hit RESTORE. This should fix any software issues that you may be experiencing. About gamepass, I dont know, I dont have it. Siri is not on the IPAD2. Only on the 3rd generation Ipad, so you wont have it(going by ipad2 under your name).
