IOS 5.0.1 setting time zone 15 minutes and counting...

15 minutes ago the lovely location services icon popped up. It's still up. Phone battery has dropped 3%. Nice update Apple...surely fixed the problem. Setting back to off.

I'm having the same problem. Quite frustrating.

  • Why is the location services arrow constantly on for setting time zone on iOS 5.1?

    I have updated to iOS 5.1 OTA (Over The Air, not by connecting to iTunes and updating) on my iPhone 4S and the purple location services arrow is constantly on in the status bar when setting time zone and automatic update of date and time are turned on simultaneously. I had this problem prior to the update, but I understand that not everyone has this issue as my friend has these two settings on and doesn't have the problem. I have tried restoring and all that (obviously), but not restoring and setting up as new.
    Somebody please help because it's an obvious fault in the system if nothing else. I have heard somebody else complain about this and the had a 32 GB 4S the same as me. I don't really see why memory should matter but my friend who doesn't have the problem has a 16GB 4S.
    Also, I am not in an area that is between time zones when this is happening.

    If it is turned on I can't be sure if anything else is using my location (at a glance) since the arrow is constantly showing. I am aware that this function will use battery power, maybe constantly, but the arrow shouldn't be constantly showing. If it should, then why doesn't my friends iPhone show it? Either way there is a problem here.

  • Location Services: Setting Time Zone... Always Active

    Just wondering if anybody else is experiencing the always active SETTING TIME ZONE setting in LOCATION SERVICES / SYSTEM SERVICES.
    It's always purple - never stops polling for location.
    I've noticed a change in the battery life for my iPhone 4 and I think this is the culprit.
    Is that setting needed for anything in particular or can it safely be turned off?
    Thanks for any advice you have!

    Grrrrrr, now (after the iOS 5.0.1 update), this is happening not only on my iPad, but also on my iPhone 4S, which never had the problem on iOS 5.0.  So, instead of going from 1 to 0 devices having the problem, I've gone from 1 to 2 after the update!  Isn't this the opposite of what was supposed to happen?
    Letting the iPhone sleep for a while, shutting it off and turning it back on, resetting it with home+power, all do nothing.  Weirdly, it *wasn't* doing this right after I did the update; it only started about a day or so later.
    ****Update: and now it's off again, but it did come on for about 10 minutes and then turned off again.  Hmmmmm. I agree that having the status bar icon enabled is a good idea, to at least be able to see when this happens and disable it if you're in a situation where battery life matters.

  • IPhone 4s Battery life, Location Services, Setting Time Zone

    So, many threads and articles on the internet are claiming that turning off "setting time zone" in location services (under system services) solves their battery drainage issue.
    I've tried turning off location services together with other things, and while there seems to be an improvement, I don't really think it is solving the problem completely in my case.  For example, even after:
      - a full iphone restore from iTunes
      - no third party apps
      - the phone in Airplane mode (no Wifi or cellular connectivity)
      - all location services off
      - iCloud syncing completely off
       - Facetime off
       - iMessage off
       - bluetooth off
        - WITHOUT using the phone at all
    ... I seem to be lsoing about 25 % of charge every nine hours, which extrapolates to 36 hours time, total.
    ... but this is with  ll networking functions turned completely off (set up basically as an old-time PDA but without actually using it) and without turning the phone on.
    Apple claims a time of 200 hours standby with all services on, connected to a WiFi access point with only "ask to join networks" set to the off position.
    How is that possible?
    Looking at my phone usage under General settings, even with all the networking functions turned completely off (as above), my phone is spending about 90 % of time "in use." But I'm not using it!
    At least with this phone, it seems like not all is explained by the "setting time zone" service under location services. Even with the screen off, no networking functions, and limited functionality, it appears to be cranking away at something.
    Can anyone else reproduce this?

  • Set Time Zone automatically doesn't work?

    Just returned from a trip to Greece (back home now in Phoenix). Noticed that even connected to wifi in different locations, when "set time zone automatically" was clicked on in general settings, time displayed on iPad seemed stuck in EST. (I made a stop in Philly on way to trip, not sure if that has to do with anything.)
    If i click "set time zone automatically" to off, for some reason my iPad defaults to Washington DC, even though in all my calendar/email settings i have Phoenix set as local time zone. I can change Washington DC to Phoenix and correct time displays on iPad. Just wondering why i can't set it automatically to display correct local time?
    Thanks for any suggestions....

    Ok thanks. Yeah, I ended up using the World Clocks.
    Where it gets interested is, iCal. If you're in a foreign country that's, say, 4 hours ahead, and you add iCal entries to your Calendar while you're out there, should those entries reflect the local time or the home time?
    Also, if you're set the Alarm to wake you up at 8:00am, and you're away on holiday, surely it will go off at home time, not local time, thus going off at the WRONG time.

  • Setting time zone

    This issue come to light becasue of the daylight saving time change. If I leave the option (under the date and time) section set to automatic  it chooses the wrong time zone... case in point.. my phone was set to auto.. I noticed the time zone was Calgary, my time zone is Vancouver. I turn off auto, change the time zone, click auto and it goes back to Calgary

    I'm in Phoenix.  Yesterday my iPhone (according to "Date & Time") showed me in Cupertino. Today it thinks I'm in Denver.  Neither Power On/Off or Airplane Mode On/Off make any difference, still thinks I'm in Denver.
    This is sort of OK from a time standpoint.  Before the DST change Phoenix and Cupertino were the same time.  After the DST change Phoenix and Denver are on the same time.  However now calendar items that I create on the iPhone are incorrect every where else (Google calendar etc.). If I turn off "Set Automatically" and force my iPhone to Phoenix then calendar events are correct.
    So anyway "Set Automatically" is Off for me.  Kind of a drag 'cause it's nice to have the iPhone automatically be on the right time when I travel.

  • Setting time zones at sea?

    Is there any app for Iphone that will let you set time zones by number offset from UTC. I am often in time zones that have no city in them, so they are not listed in the clock app.

    Maybe I am not being clear.  Let's try again.
    We don't have cell-phone coverage in the middle of the ocean. 
    I turn my cell and wifi off when we get off shore to save power. 
    I use the iPhone as a little computer.  I am looking for a way to have my four or five wall clocks that I used to have on the office wall, on my iPhone. 
    During doing my job I like to be able to know:
    What time is it in the time zone I am in.
    What time is it on my best friend's ship.
    What time is it on the port we left.
    What time is it on in the port we are going to.
    And what time it is in UTC
    I just am looking for an app that gives me the ability to set time clocks by all time Zones around the world by zone offset from UTC.
    Setting time zones by city names is useless to me.
    Setting time zones by pinging the Internet or cell towers can not be done where I am at.

  • AppleScript or Automater to Set Time Zone (or just the time)

    Hi,
    I am trying to have a script that will change the timezone to UK - (ie reduce my macbook by one hour from European time) before I run an application.
    I use a MythTV backend on my network that is in UK time, and I am in Europe. However, the mythfront end I have on my mac needs to be in same timezone for it to work with the backend.
    However, instead of having to go to the System Prefs before I want to run the myth front end, I'll like to build a Automater workflow (app) that changes time to UK time, runs the mythfront end (and changes back once I close myth front end).
    My problem is I can't get any workflow to work to change the timezone. I found a workflow on the net for Automater, but this doesn't work. The auomater app was called 'Set Time Zone 1.0 - by NyghtHawk productions' but only returns this error about not being able to find this file:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/syst emsetup-panther.
    (which I guess is obvious as I'm using Snow leopard and not panther)
    Does anyone know of a working way to script setting the time in Mac Os X ?
    Thanks in advance
    Alex

    I have solved the Applescripting of System Preferences to change the Time Zone.
    My problem is that my time zone (Melbourne - Australia) causes my 3rd gen iPod nano to lose its time zone and time settings when it is _plugged in_ to my mac (Note: Not when it is synchronised).
    I have a pair of Applescripts: the first sets the time zone to Noumea, run before the iPod is plugged in and the second resets the time zone to Melbourne after the iPod is physically disconnected.
    timezone=Noumea
    This script is run BEFORE plugging in the iPod.
    This ensures the iPod time zone is not NUKED.
    The corresponding script to reset time zone is
    run when iPod is physically disconnected
    tell application "System Preferences" to activate
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "System Preferences"
    (* get Date & Time preference pane *)
    tell menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
    delay 0.5
    click menu item "Date & Time" of menu 1
    end tell
    (* get Time Zone subpane *)
    tell tab group 1 of window "Date & Time"
    click radio button "Time Zone"
    tell group 1
    set value of combo box 1 to "Nouméa - New Caledonia"
    We need to focus the combo box before "hitting" return
    PROBLEM: we dont know if it is already focused
    a) if is already focused the first 'return' key sets the time zone
    b) if was not focused the first 'return' key does nothing
    the 'tab' key will then focus it
    and then the second 'return' key sets the time zone
    keystroke return & tab & return -- make it stick
    delay 0.5
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    timezone=Melbourne
    This script is run AFTER physically disconnecting the iPod.
    This ensures the iPod time zone is not NUKED.
    The corresponding script to set up the time zone to Noumea
    is run BEFORE iPod is physically plugged in
    tell application "System Preferences" to activate
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "System Preferences"
    (* get Date & Time preference pane *)
    tell menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
    delay 0.5

    end tell

  • Does Apple know about bug in Timer that shows minutes but counts down seconds?

    I have a couple of times changed my timer from a few minutes down past zero to 59 or so to time out about an hour.  But the timer, while still showing minutes count down seconds.  This image is a captured screen shot as it is counting down seconds.  But when I cancel the timer, I get which shows the 59 minutes I expected to get.  If I press Start at this point, it will count down seconds.  If I attempt to reproduce conditions, by going to 8 or 9 minutes, then canceling and going to 59 minutes, it works.  It may be that you have to run the timer down to alarm and then try the lower setting.

    Does Apple know about bug in Timer that shows minutes but counts down seconds?
    How would we know?  Call them and ask.

  • How do I log the time in hours, minutes and seconds to a table

    Hi
    I'm a relatively new user of Labview. I am currently writing a program that logs the temperature of an oven and the current time to a table and graph. I am using a GPIB card to communicate with the oven. I have used the Get Date/Time string to get the time and the Decimal String to Number to convert the time to a number which I have then put into an array which goes to a table and graph. My problem at the moment is that the time is being logged in hours only. I need to log the time in hours, minutes and seconds. Can you tell me how I can do this?

    Hi,
    I can see the setup now. The decimal string to number will only ever give the hours, since the ':' character is not part of a number, so won't translate. Use the code I attached previously to get the time as a timestamp, and then go from there.
    I've made some modifications, although you'll need to alter the file save to take into account the double precision number
    for the timestamp is now 3E+9 (since it's seconds since 1904!!), but since you're writing to a comma separated values (or tab deliminated) style file, this shouldn't be a problem. You could always do a textual save from the table instead.
    Thanks

  • Setting Time Zone location marker still lights up in iOS 5.0.1 . Does this happen to you?

    I have updated my iphone 4 to ios 5.0.1 ota and when the phone boots up the time zone location icon lights up i know this because i checked it in location services system . So does this happen to you ?

    Yes, I saw this happen as well a week after upgrading to iOS 5 it started showing up all the time. So I shut the phone down and rebooted and the problem went away.

  • Cannot set Time Zone in iPad2 after iOS 7 update

    The Time Zone setting keeps on spinning.  Any ideas on resolving this in order that I can setup the appropriate time zone?

    Perhaps you need to physically trash the preference file. I'm not sure which one it is as I'm not at the Mac right now, but you could try com.apple.preferencepanes.plist. There might be a more specific one relating to the time zone pane itself though.

    To run the application I am using TWO_TASK to connect to the database. In our application we have to take care of time zones. For that in previous versions(NO TWO_TASK used) I used TZ unix environment variable, to get time zone dependent time wherever sysdate is used.

    Question : Is there any way I can make oracle to use the TZ environment setting

    Thanks for replying Johnny!
    What you are referring to is adding a city. I need to know how to set the time zone in settings -> Date & Time -> Timezone. Unless & untill this is set properly the iPod will never show me the right time. Please help me with it.
    I will definately use your advice on the second query.
