IPhone 3G Location Tracking Fix?
Hi,
I have just seen a new firmware has been released to stop the location tracking bug.
How do we stop this location tracking bug on the iPhone 3G? iOs 4.3 stopped support for it - I hoped the 4.2.8 would install but no such luck.
Chris
I really do agree with Chris on this, encrypting it on the pc or mac has nothing to do with apple still being able to track us. and turing off location tracking only stops the app's from tracking NOT APPLE
its not my fault that apple comes out with a new phone every year and stops supporting thier old ones after 2-3 years.
might as well just stop buying the iphone 4 and wait for the iphone 4gs in september, yes the 4GS apple is to lazy to really upgrade, just a new processor, just to make as much cash as they can
I know what my next phone will be DROID

I have an iPhone 3G running 4.2.1 and I'd like to be able to patch the location-tracking without jailbreaking my phone. I noticed the latest patch that fixes the 4 and 3GS doesn't support my phone. Does anyone know (Apple?) if there will be a patch for my phone that is only 2 years old.
I don't believe there will be any further patches for the 3G. Us 3G owners seem to be out of luck.

Will the icloud keep a record that the phone has been tracked or a record of the locations tracked by the app "find my iPhone"
Not unless you placed a lost device in Lost Mode and it is detected as being online. If so, it will show its current and previous locations on a map as shown at the bottom of this article: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165.

IPhone 6 location services/gps not working
Anyone else have an issue with iPhone 6 location services/gps not working? I have had it happen to me twice where it stopped working for good 7 or 8 hours and then all of sudden it starts working again. For example, directions don't work, every time I open Apple Maps it will say "Cannot determine location", then when I press the location icon on the bottom left, it will try to search again and have an approximate location but not exact, where as the iPad that I have right next to it is able to pin point the exact location. Sometimes the location circle is pulsing blue sometimes its gray. If I am driving and have tracking on it won't track, and so on. I have tried to setup the phone as new without restoring the backup, when it stopped working with no luck, it still didn't work. I went and restore it back from backup and few hours later it started to work again. This has happened twice now since I got the phone last Friday.
Check your "Privacy" settings on your iPhone see what apps are using your location.

How can I turn off location tracking by Apple?
How can I turn off location tracking by Apple? Is is possible to roll the software back prior to Apple installing location tracking? I am very unhappy with this change by Apple. I know they probably included a reference to it in one of the user agreements, but this should have been clearly stated and offered a way to opt out. Anyway, any help on this would be appreciated.
Yeah, I do see your point. I personally feel perfectly safe using my iPhone wherever I go however I would consider that my usage is a lot less than the average user. I've had the phone for a year and have only made a total of 5 hours worth of calls and have only taken it out of my city one or twice. So for me I don't see any privacy concerns.
From reading the privacy statement though it seems that Apple are adamant that the collection of the geographical data etc is 99% personal information free. They use the term "non-personal information" and for that 1% where someone's personal information does somehow become mingled with their geographical location/movements etc Apple state that this information would be handled as though it was your credit card details or your social security number etc until such time as it's no longer combined.
"If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined."
But, I do agree with the fact that Apple really should have made us more aware of this. Instead we have found out through scientists and their research... that, coupled with the fact that no other smartphone collects this information hasn't helped either.
I will continue to use my iPhone as normal though... I am personally confident in Apple's commitment to privacy. I know not all share this view and that's fine. We all have our own perceptions of the implications of technology...
To answer your question about rolling back your software though that can be done. Might be a bit of a headache though and I'm not the best person to help with that. I'm sure there's some good information here though. Good luck! -
Lost my iphone and located it on the map, using the find a phone app. The second I had the location the phone went offline. Apparently, whoever has it knows how to disable the find a phone feature. Do I have any alternatives? Can AT&T or the police track the phone?
ATT won't unless they are asked to do so by the police and unless a major crime is involved, the police won't request this just for a stolen phone.
If the iPhone is running iOS 6, sounds like you didn't have the passcode lock feature enabled. Nothing prevents someone from powering the iPhone off and the same for removing the SIM card. -
Playing music on iPhone 5, multiple tracks lose audio partway into the song
When playing music on my iPhone 5, multiple tracks lose audio partway into the song, even though the track is still playing.
I have tried re-syncing music to the phone several times. This will fix the problem for some tracks, but then re-create the problem in other tracks. Also, I have switched from syncing the entire library to only syncing a few playlists at a time. What can I do?Hi Descending!
If your songs are playing correctly in iTunes on your computer, then it sounds like you will want to restore your iPhone using this article:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software

If the songs do not play correctly in iTunes on your computer, then you will want to recreate your library by following the steps in this article:

Remote Office with Location tracking and WIPS
Hey guys,
I have a question about Cisco wireless for remote offices. My client is switching to Cisco for their wireless. The services that is going to be needed are location tracking and WIPS and data. The data part may come later and it is not approved yet. For now, it is going to be just location tracking for rogue devices etc and wIPS.
I know for data we can do Flexconnect, but for location tracking and wIPS, how are we going to deploy this? Does Flexconnect APs would be able to do LBS and wIPS services and data?
We currently have Moto APs deployed with 3 radios which is capable of LBS, wIPS, and data. Basically, the 3rd radio does the LBS and wIPS. Also, we are using the RF-Domain Manager per branch office. I am not sure if Cisco has something similar.
ThanksSo, you could do FlexConnect for the remote offices, but RLDP (wired detection) might not work:

Domain Manager should be similar to PI:
