Location reminder, ios7

Has anyone figured out how to make Siri work like she did under iOS6? Where when setting a reminder, after she asked what you wanted to be reminded about, then she would ask when you wanted to be reminded?
I have had zero success in getting her to set up a location reminder, without going in and manually editing a reminder after it has been set.
A trip to my local Apple store, gave me the suggestion to delete everything on my phone and manually reinstall everything from scratch.. Or course, they couldn't explain why none of the floor models worked as expected either...

My info is set correctly, and my home and work addresses are in the contact card list.. The problem is that she won't ask for what location I want.. I can set the location manually, but that defeats the purpose of having Siri... Not that she will remember when I arrive somewhere unless I have the app running.. But that's another issue altogether that is documented throughout these forumns.
I want to be able to set a reminder and have her ask when I'd like to be reminded so I can set a location ( just in case they ever fix the bug with locations )
Sorry to reply to myself, but your post won't show up in Firefox in the discussion thread now.. But it will show up in Safari, but doesn't give me an option to reply in Safari..

Using ios 5.0.1 in an iPhone 4. Can't get the gps to turn off in the Reminder app even though I do not have a location reminder set. Battery life suffers because of it. What can I do other than keep the app turned off all the time in settings?

Installed ios 5 and created a location reminder to see how it worked. The gps icon came on and I expected it would because how else would the phone know where I'm at.
After I was reminded and marked it as complete I also deleted the reminder from the app. The gps never went off and the only way I can get it to turn off is by switching the app off in the location settings.
Installed ios 5.0.1 and the same thing. I turned on the app in the location settings to see what would happen and I was again reminded by location to the same reminder. It said in the alert that the reminded was 28 days old. Like I said I deleted the reminder from the app. Somehow it's still in the apps memory and I have no idea how to get rid of it for good.
Thank you,
Marilyn

Siri Location Reminder Weirdness

This is not the same issue I see all over where Siri refuses to set a location reminder. Rather she creates the proper reminder for the proper location (per contact list) yet she verbally confirms the reminder with "Here's your reminder for when you get Home, shall I create it" I say yes and the reminder is created with the location Staples but Siri uses "Home" in the confirmation.
Not a major issue or anything but more of an amusing bug.

It would be great if you did not have to create seperate entries in your address book for other locations other than home and work. We should be able to add these to our contact information.

How to use the location reminder

When I first accessed the new reminders app I clicked 'do not use my location'. However, I want to use the location reminder, but I can not find it in my settings to change my preferences. Anyone know how to turn the location on? Does it even work on 3GS?

This worked for me as well. Thanks!
shafir,
I had the same problem. By trial and error I turned off the reminders coming from my work-place microsoft exchange server account in "Mail, Contacts, Calendars". Left mail, and calendar, contacts etc on but turned off reminders. The only reminders in "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" that I left on is in iCloud.
The reminder app then appeared in the "location services" list and can be turned on.

HT4970 Location reminder not working

Cannot seem to get Friend Finder Location reminder to work, any suggestions?

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.

TS4000 how to turn on location reminder on ios6?

how to turn on location reminder on ios6?

Easy to turn off the Wifi, but a bit more complicated to turn it back on. Here are the screenshots for AirPort Utility 6.1:
To completely turn off the wireless radio signal on the AirPort Extreme......
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
Click Edit
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
Change the setting for Network Mode to Off
Click Update to save the settings and the AirPort Extreme will restart in about 30 seconds
To turn the wireless function back on, perform the same steps above to reach the Wireless tab
Change the Network Mode to Create a wireless network
Type in the name of your Wireless Network
Set Wireless Security to WPA2 Personal
Enter your wireless password and confirm
Cllick Update to save the settings and the AirPort Extreme will restart in about 30 seconds
If this seem too complicated, there is another possibly simpler option, mentioned previously by alanoconnor, but it will be a setting to either allow wireless devices to connect to your network, or not connect.
This option will not turn off the wireless radio on your AirPort Extreme, the wireless radio will remain on at all times, something that you may not want.

Location reminder issue

Do you have to have a location saved in your contacts in order to set a location reminder?

Yes, you do. A bit limiting isn't it?

Issue with Reminders not working when setting it to arrive or leave a location in iOS7.

Hi all,
Tried everything: Called support and reset All setting. Made sure all "location settings" are set. Restored via iTunes as a new phone, checked all setting again, set a reminder to remind me to get gas when I leave my home, and it never reminded me. Also, doesn't remind when I arrive at a location. I have tried this with my wifes phone (iPhone 5) and my daughters (iPhone 4) all running iOS7 and it doesn't work. I never had this issue with iOS6. All other locations services like GPS, maps, & weather working fine. I strongly believe it's a iOS7 bug. Has anyone else experianced this issue?

In case you haven't seen this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5329723
Jump to page 5. There is a solution by ben812 that initially worked for me, but after restarting my phone I was back to square one.
I visited the local Genius Bar, and they claim they have not heard of this problem. Whether that is true or not, they know now. One of the employees confirmed that WiFi would need to be on, as the location service checks it first (before using GPS). Seems like a bug, but for now having WiFi on and leaving Reminders running in the background seems to solve the issue.
I hope Cupertino addresses this in an upcoming iOS release.

Apple store app using location in ios7.1 even when not launched

Just updated to iOS7.1 on my iphone. SUDDENLY the location icon on my menu bar remains on and is showing active use of location (under settings..... privacy.... location..... )... APPLE STORE is turned ON for location services..... but it is showing as ACTIVELY using location (battery life and phone resources) despite the app not even being launched
My fix? Turn off LOCATION services for APPLE STORE APP... and the location icon goes away.
Closing out the app manually DOES NOT stop the active use of locaiton services BY THIS APP.
Only app acting this way since change to iOS7.1
Is this affecting other people the same way?

I do, but the same was happening with earlier iOS versions. I think its due to system services using location, like for traffic, cell network search, etc. For me they typically go away after 10 or so minutes, so I left the ones I think may be useful on, but if you turn location off for system services then you shouldn't get the intermittent location querying at all.

Location reminder not working

when i had IOS 6 my phone would work for setting reminders to go off at a location or when i left the location. now that i updated to IOS 7.0.2 it doesn't matter if i leave reminders active or not in the background it will not remind me at any location. I do have location services on for my reminders and I have tried different locations for leaving and arriving. Nothing is working anyone else have this problem I have already re installed IOS 7 twice to fix another issue I don't want to have to do it again.

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.

I CANT GET A LOCATION REMINDER

iOS5 says you can have location reminders but mine only says on a day! How do I fix this problem?

IYou need an iPhone 4 or later:
Location-based Reminders:
To set a location, you must first save the location in Contacts.
Use a specific street address whenever possible.
The location service icon will remain in the status bar until you mark the reminder as complete.
Available only on iPhone 4 and later.

Location Reminder bug when wifi switched on or off. iPhone 5

When I switch from 4g to wifi all my location reminders are triggered. Same when I turn off wifi, all location reminders are triggered. Even if I am nowhere near the location.
Is there a fix yet?

No location reminder with 3G? Only wifi??

Set up some reminders today for when I arrived at certain places. I added the locations into my contact list, as it says...then added the location into reminders for "when I arrive"
I get to the stores and nothing pops up...I had location services turned on. However, what I do get in the reminders app itself is that it needs wifi to run?? that makes no sense...I don't have access to wifi everywhere I go. Why won't it work with 3G? My signal strength was 5 bars.

Get Siri to set location reminders (using multiple reminder lists)

I found a way to get Siri to set location reminders using multiple reminder lists (but you can just use one list too):
First make additional lists in the reminder app: click list button (the lines on the left) > edit > create new list > done. Make as many as you want. I have grocery, home, personal, business, family.
Let's say you want a reminder to pick up apples when you get to the apple store. You must add the location in your contacts to your name in contacts.
Do the following:
In maps app find the location with search.
Tap the blue arrow > Add to contacts > Add to existing contact
Choose your name in contacts. It will be added under your address for home or work so you will need to edit it:
Click Edit.
Click on the small label on the left of the new address - it will just say "address"
Scroll to bottom of page and click on Create custom label
Enter the location name like "Apple Store". Click Done.
Important Note: You will need to delete the url it adds under your home url section and maybe other things it messes up with the new contact info instead of yours - so check all the fields each time you do this.
To make a location based reminder using a specific list you must open that list yourself - Siri will not open it for you.
Example:
Open grocery list yourself in the reminders app
Tell Siri something like: "remind me to pick up apples" (Do not mention the location yet - if you do it will not work)
Siri will ask: "When should I remind you?"
Say: "When I get to the apple store"
Siri will say she will remind you and you will see the location reminder in the grocery list.
This is how it works for me but if you know an easier way let me know! This is beta so I'm sure it will get easier.

I have one thing to add. You don't have to open the list manually. Tell Siri: "Add to my <listname> list". For example, if you have a list named "Work", tell Siri: "Add to my work list". Siri will reply, "What should I add to your 'Personal' list?
and you can continue from there.
There is a syntax for doing all this in one sentence, but I find it only works about half the time. Too many fields for Siri to parse in her current Beta stage
