Location based reminders not working in IOS8 on iphone 5s, please help?

Location based reminders are not working when using Siri since upgrading to IOS8. Asking Siri to "remind me when I get home" also turns off reminders in Location Services. Please help

I have the same issue with Siri turning off the location setting for reminders. In fact my location based reminders do not work at all. IPhone 5s, ios 8.1, upgraded to 8.1.1 and that did not fix these issues.
SEems like Apple does not test the location setting every other upgrade to iOS. They break it, then fix it then break it etc...

Location based wifi not working as expected

I would expect that location based wifi would either turn wifi off if not in a place with saved networks, or turn wifi on if arriving in a place with saved networks, but it does neither. I have tested this by turning wifi on when at home, then periodically checking status in places with no networks saved or open, and it's still on, and also by turning wifi off when away from home, then checking at home to see if it's turned on, and it isn't. So doesn't seem to be working either way. I have stamina mode active, and some people have said that location based wifi won't work with this.but most say works just fine, and would have expected Sony to say if different power saving options were incompatible. Always have location sensing GPS turned on. Often have mobile data off. Some have said that this is necessary for location based wifi to work, but others not, and to my way of thinking, location based wifi should turn wifi off whenever out of range of saved network, and add long as phone has some way of knowing where it is to wake up wifi, then it shouldn't matter which location modality it uses. Can anyone shed any light on this? Google's not being very helpful. Thanks

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
You do need to have data turned on and as such you must also have Stamina mode turned off for this to work sorry.

Location based printing not working

Hello all,
I've been searching for an answer but coming up with nothing so I figured I'd give it a shot and ask. After installing a fresh version of Leopard (with the latest updates) on a computer and then copying the user data back onto said computer, the location based printing doesn't work anymore. The printers used to switch automatically, now they do not. They switched when going from one office (city) to the next. (I believe it used the different subnet addresses to tell where it was at on our network.)
Any ideas on how to "fix" it. All I see is that it's just supposed to work so there really isn't anything to fix.
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hello Eric,
I am surprised to hear that you had this working. I use the Location function to switch between three different Ethernet connections (office, lab and training room) and I have never found that I can set a particular printer for the respective subnet.
As you know, you set your default printer in System Preferences > Print & Fax. I thought that if this was set to 'Last Printer Used' it would remember which printer was last used for the respective Location, but it always shows the last printer used regardless of which Location I selected.
FYI - I also have an alternate account which I use for home (also set as a Location for wireless connection). This is defaulted to a different printer compared to the work account, but is not influenced by the Location setting.
I would be interested to hear if anyone else has had this working.

Location based WiFi not working

When I'm not at home I keep my xperia WiFi turned off. When I come home it doesn't turn automatically on even if I got my home WiFi registered on my phone! I always have to do that manually. Of course I have the option ON in "location based WiFi". Could somebody help me, please?

You may need to perform a software repair using PC companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

Location based reminder not working?

I'm unable to create a reminder that is location based if the location is not in the address book. Is this normal?
For example, I can't say: remind me to get xxx when arriving at walmart: I would expect it to ask which walmart and then specific or even specify which walmart from the beginning but Siri only says it does not understand. Can this not be done?

Yeah, has to be in the address book. If you want to add places you don't really want address cards for you could put them in a separate group, then just ignore that group when viewing.

Location based query not working Urgent!!!

Hi
I m using orcacle8.1.6 and i m not able to execute the foll query..
select /*+ordered*/ c.customer_id,
c.cust_first_name,
c.cust_last_name,
sdo_nn_distance (1) distance from warehouses w,
customers c where w.warehouse_id = 2
and sdo_nn (c.cust_geo_location, w.wh_geo_location, 'sdo_num_res=5', 1) = 'TRUE'
order by distance;
Its giving me error @ sdo_nn_distance as invalid column name...i think it might be problem with version..
if its so...
can somebody suggest me a query to fetch five customers closest to the warehouse whose warehouse ID is 2 in this case...
Thanks in advance..

As you've guessed, this is a version issue. You need to be running 9i to have access to sdo_nn_distance.
You should be able to do this in 8.1.6:
select /*+ordered*/ c.customer_id,
c.cust_first_name,
c.cust_last_name,
sdo_geom.sdo_distance(cust_geo_location,a.diminfo, wh_geo_location,b.diminfo) distance
from warehouses w, customers c,
user_sdo_geom_metadata a, user_sdo_geom_metadata b
where w.warehouse_id = 2
and sdo_nn (c.cust_geo_location, w.wh_geo_location, 'sdo_num_res=5', 1) = 'TRUE'
and a.table_name='CUSTOMERS'
and a.column_name='CUST_GEO_LOCATION'
and a.table_name='WAREHOUSES'
and a.column_name='WH_GEO_LOCATION'
order by distance;

Location based reminders don't work in ios7 ?

after upgrading to ios7 on my iphone 4s the location based reminders don't work if the reminder-app is not open in multitasking.
on ios6 the location based reminders work fine even if the reminders-app is not open and not in background.
is this a bug? the background update option for reminders is activated in the options.
any ideas?

In iOS7, location-based reminders won't fire if the Reminders app is explicitly terminated by the user.
That is if the user removes an application from the Multi-Tasking application list (brought up with a double-press of the Home button), iOS 7 will conclude that the user doesn't want this app to get any more run-time. That implies that Reminders won't be launched again to display your location-based reminders.
The Reminders app needs to be running in the foreground or to be put in the background for location-based reminders to work.
This is not a bug. This is intended behavior.

IOS 7 Location Based Reminders aren't working

I am having trouble getting location based reminders to work on iOS 7 on my iPhone 5. I have allowed for it to use my location and refresh in the background. Reminders with set times and dates work without any problems. Any ideas about how to fix this problem?

In iOS 7 location based Reminders no longer function unless the Reminders app is running in the background.
If I ask Siri to remind me of things when I arrive or leave a location she confirms the request by saying "Here is the reminder for when you get home, should I create it?" I then confirm and she says ,"I'll remind you". She doesn't mention that Reminders needs to be active in order to remind me.
If this is intended behavior in iOS 7 this is a major step backward in terms of intuitive functionality and ease of use. I mean, I'm asking Siri to remind me of stuff because I'm probably not going to remember to do something. Why should I have to additionally remember to have Reminders running in the background to receive a Reminder notification? Very counter intuitive.
Steps that I have taken to try and resolve issue:
• Restore as new iPhone and manually install all apps
• Make sure that Siri is accessing my correct home and office location through my contact information.
• Made sure Reminder is in my Notification Center and all notifications types are turned on in the Notification Center
• Make sure the Do Not Disturb feature is not running either manually or scheduled
• Make sure Siri is on and has "my info" correct
• Make sure Background App Refresh is on and that it is turned on for Reminders
• Make sure a sound has been selected for Reminders in the Sounds settings
• Make sure Location Services are turned on gloabally and that it is turned on for Reminders and Siri specifically.
• Make sure all System Services are turned on
• Make sure I have cell signal when I arrive at places I am supposed to be reminded at
Still doesn't work!!

My calandar service (outlook) does, which keeps track of my reminders, does not allow location based reminders?

I cannot get Siri to setup a location reminder because of outlook. Can anyone tell me how to get around this?

SOLUTION
I followed the advice on the link below and it worked.
The only additional thing I did was switch off the reminders in all of the other email accounts on my phone where they were activated. I then tried the location based reminders and they worked. I then switched the reminders back on again and the LBR *still* worked!

Good luck, hope this helps.

Location based reminders don't trigger when screen is locked

I've tried using location based reminders a handful of times since installing iOS 5. The one thing I've noticed about them (other than the battery drain), is that they don't work when the phone is in standby (i.e. screen is off). Unlike time based reminders which will sound even when the phone is in standby. Location based reminders will only remind you after you unlock the screen.
Here's an example based on a reminder I set today:
1. I set a reminder to remind me to vote when I left my house.
2. I left my house and drove about a 1/2 mile, all the while looking at my phone to see if the reminder triggered.
3. Eventually I decided to press the home button and unlock the screen. The moment I did so the reminder popped up.
Basically if I hadn't "remembered" about the reminder and unlocked the screen, I wouldn't get reminded until the next time I used my iPhone which could have been hours later. I'd think considering the battery drain and constant use of GPS that it should remind me shortly after leaving my house.
Is this the way reminders are supposed to work?

In iOS7, location-based reminders won't fire if the Reminders app is explicitly terminated by the user.
That is if the user removes an application from the Multi-Tasking application list (brought up with a double-press of the Home button), iOS 7 will conclude that the user doesn't want this app to get any more run-time. That implies that Reminders won't be launched again to display your location-based reminders.

This is not a bug. This is intended behavior.

Siri keeps telling me "your calendar does not support location-based reminders" when I ask her to remind me to feed the cat when I get home. My address is in contacts and it has worked previously. Did iOS 8 change something?

calendar does not support location-based reminders....
i Just found a similar question below and it resolved my issue. Turn off the sync to exchange email and all works fine now.

Couldn't agree more. I've been *trying* to use location reminders ever since buying my iPhone 4S but as yet, out of many, many attempts they've only actually worked once.
The kid problem is very simple, the way the phone needs the location to be an address in your address book, and it's subsequent inability to correctly locate the address. My home address is a correct postal address, and has been unchanged for 40+ years, yet clicking on my address from my own contact entry puts my location some distance down my street.
Whilst I understand the issue with the address lookup, it seems to be a massive problem with the location based reminders as it's just not possible to set useful reminders.
What if I want to remind myself of something when I arrive at the car park on a shopping trip? There is no address for that in my contacts, I just want to pinpoint the location on the maps and say 'remind me when I get there'. Surely that's the simplest my far. Same with address book contacts, if you had a field with the gps position in then one could tag the locations and know they were 100% accurate for location services.
Such a shame as it's one of the key reasons I upgraded my phone and as it stands it just plain doesn't work.

Location based reminders don't work

I have tried to use Siri to take an instruction such as ' remind me when I get to 'a location' but I get the ' I can only remind you when I have a time'.
I have done the following :
Go to the place
Open G maps and select the arrow to mark the location
Click on the arrow and add / edit contacts with the location details.
However, it doesn't work.
Is there some 'trick' to make Siri understand how to understand the location after you've saved it to contacts ?
'Remind me to do something when I leave here' works fine but 'Remind me to do something when I arrive somewhere' does not.
It's like Siri doesn't know the location even after it's been saved to contacts using the G maps app.

I am partly wrong in that the iPhone 4 also supports location based reminders, but I am correct that the 3GS does not. It was supported in the initial beta builds of iOS 5 while it was going out to developers, but there were a lot of bugs with it due to some hardware limitations that prevented accurate GPS fence locations to be processed. The final build of iOS 5 does not offer support for the 3GS. I'm not just making that up. The official user guide that Apple supplies indicates it on page 95. Here's a link.
