Location Service not 100% Correct.

Hi mates!
Im using iPhone 3gs iOS 4.1. and here's my problem
when I open The Google maps application. and I press the Arrow Icon where it ask for our Location.
It's not straight from where I stand. the GPS not working perfectly.
what should i do with this situations? :C

compare with another device, preferably a standalone GPS in your country, at that same spot. If that too is off by a large amount, maybe there's a problem with the satellites locating you in that part of the world.

  • IPhone 4s GPS/location services not working correctly in Maps

    I have had an iPhone since the original, so I am not new to the way Maps works. Maps has been useless on my new 4s. It keeps pulling up locations from other states, or telling me I am at a location when I am 5-10 miles away. For example, I searched for Fireshouse subs ( I am in Florida) it found one match: Denny's in California?!? I searched for an autozone that I was a mile from and pulled one in Nebraska. Also, I can calulate a route, tells me I am 30 miles away, drive a mile, change start from Current Location, and then I am 10 miles away.... Is there a way to calibrate my GPS? This is very frustrating! thanks
    (is iPhone 4S really not a product in the drop down selection Apple?)

    Ok.. didn't need the 3 finger solute. I turned on Airplane Mode and left it there for 5min.
    Once I turned Airplane Mode off and services came back I went back to maps and got the "Will you allow Maps to see your location... blah blah".
    Now GPS services, both maps and loopt, working again. Maybe Airplane Mode OFF/ON reset/reconnected services? No idea, but I'm trackable again.
    Thanks for the quick replies.

  • Gracenote CDDB service not submitting correct names for songs when importing from CDs

    Gracenote CDDB service not submitting correct names for songs from purchased CDs

    You are looking at the 1st Gen Nano manual.
    You need to look at the 2nd Gen Nano manual here -> iPod Nano Features Guide
    Not much difference but that page 16 shows iTunes 6. You have iTunes 7.
    You have to first select the CD.
    The Import button is now at the bottom right.
    Insert the CD and select it in iTunes and the Browse icon (eye) at the bottom right will change to Import.
    Go to iTunes prefs -> Advanced and tick "Automatically get CD track names from Internet".

  • HT5467 Location services not correct

    My location service is not working correctly

    For location the iPod uses the location nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's data base. You do not have to be connect to the router.
    Thus, it appears that the router the iPod is using does not have the correct location in Apple's database. Apple continuously updates their database based on data it obtains from iPhones. No one has found a way to tell apple to correct/add a wifi router to their database.
    Did you move the router?

  • Location Services not working after iOS6 update

    After updating to iOS 6 my ipad (3), Location Services no longer work, siri doesn't know where I am, 'Find My iPhone'cannot locate any devices, Maps cant find my position...and so on. I have double checked all seetings and they are correct. There was no problem under iOS5 on the same iPad. Does anyone know whats going on?

    This is good news! I am getting my first ever iPhone (5) next week (Hopefully) nice to know I can use location service on that at least.
    Not a completely bad day

  • Location services not working on apps?

    I didn't know where else to put this so I put it here.
    I have an iPod Touch and an iPad and it's not showing my location on either of those.
    It is turned on, so before you say that, yes. I'm not that stupid. It's also not restricted. It can't be a problem with my router because when I use my laptop, it shows the right location.
    Why is it not working on my iPod and iPad? Please help me. It's incredibly frustrating because I use an app that requires location services and I haven't been able to use it because these devices can't find my location.
    Does it have anything to do with a MAC address? I just changed my routers MAC address to "default" a few moments ago thinking that had something to do with it.
    Just please help. It's worked before, but all of a sudden it just stopped.
    Also, when I google "weather" on my iPod/iPad, it tells me where I am, but when I use apps, like Facebook, the popular apps near me, and Whisper, it says it can't find my location.

    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. It identifies the routers via their MAC address. So changing the MAC address is the cause of your problem
    Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.

  • IOS 8 location services not working well on my iPhone 5 and no longer works on iPad 3 WiFi

  • Why does location services not work on my ipad2 with ios7?

    Why does my wifi only iPad 2 location serves not work...worked for years, even when I traveled extensively and returned home. I loaded ios7plus and went out West for the holidays.  Worked out West and on return, did not...live in country and worked when I took it to Mickey d's six miles away.  Only change is ios7 and it's default to Apple maps.  Apple support claimed to have passed this to engineering, but despite my follow ups with them using my case number, they have left me in limbo with a silent phone.  This is very wrong and not the apple I have known...very frustrated.

    Cause Wi-Fi only iPads do not have GPS receivers in them, nor can they use the cell towers for triangulating position. Best they can do is guesstimate based on the hotspots they are connecting to. They base their guess on a database of known hotspots, which can be incomplete, erroneous or wildly inaccurate. The  rise of the problem can be due to any change you or your ISP has done to the Wi-Fi setup you use.
    If you need to depend on critical apps that require reliable Location Services, get Wi-Fi+Cell devices next time. They can be used without a SIM chip with no problems (and not paying for cell charges), but GPS will work fine.

  • N96 Telephone Service Not Functioning Correctly

    Good evening folks,
    Now, I've had this problem for as long as I've had an N96. TWO N96's in fact, as my first was replaced by Nokia due to the screen-slide connection malfunctioning. Both have been fully firmware updated and restored on multiple occasions in an attempt to fix the problem.
    The telephone service on the handset has the habit of not functioning correctly, like the service has hanged or just doesn't respond.
    For example, I find a contacts name in contacts, press the green key to show their contact numbers, and green again on the number I wish to call- nothing happens, other than the available numbers disappear and you return to the regular contacts view. This is what would normally happen anyway, only you'd have an outgoing call happening over it and showing the "telephone" screen.
    Or, example two, in a text message I chose Options > Call > Voice Call and press the select or middle button to initiate the call- No call, instead the options dialogue disappears and I return to the standard message view. Again, I should be in an outgoing call, not viewing my text message.
    Example three, to really show the telephone service isn't working;
    I'm in full signal, text messages are functioning correctly and the mobile web is working flawlessly. A friend sat next to me rings me and is immediately directed to my voicemail, not a single indication from the handset that I may have been receiving a call.
    Seconds later I receive a text message from my operator to let me know about a new voicemail my friend just left me.
    So, the telephone service isn't functioning as it should be.
    A quick restart fixes the problem in 4 out of 5 cases, however usually within 24 hours the problem is persisting again.
    Not being able to make outgoing calls isn't a problem, because at least then I know the telephone service has failed on me and I can restart.
    A potentially important incoming call about anything being directed immediately to my voicemail? Problematic, especially if they don't leave a message and instead just keep trying me, as I receive no notification from my operator about missed calls and there is no way other than to try and make an outgoing call as to determine whether the service is still functioning.
    It isn't shown as a regular application whilst not in a call and I don't believe I should even have to check if it's still running as this function is the main function implied in the device category 'smartphone'.
    Rant over, so if there's anyone out there who could shed some light onto this situation, please do.
    Also, kind of off topic- but in the case that this is a universal problem (which I'm assuming it is, having had two completely different handsets with the same symptoms), do I go after Nokia to provide me with a different model of handset, or the supplier (The Carphone Warehouse) since my handset isn't properly providing a function that is advertised?
    Somehow I presume I'm rightfully entitled to a reimbursement or different model. Hopefully.
    Thanks in advance people

    You're so right....   I managed to get over the problems, never upgraded the firmware...  Once I got all the apps I use and needed, never touched it....  Still the phone is a mess, worst ever...   I came from an Iphone, fleeing from lock OS and stuff, and found myself in a Symbian hell.....    Definitely Windows Mobile...  I'm so down on this phone, I spent 650 dollars, one year ago....  The worst investment ever...  Never again a Nokia or a Symbian smartphone, for cheap ones apparently are the best.  I'll wait another year, to feel less pain when buying a new one for 600-1000 dollars.
    Solution: Buy another phone...  Better if it is a Windows Mobile.... As HTC for example.
    Regards,

  • Why are my location services not working?

    I received a new iPod touch yesterday, and it is now running iOS 5.  I can't get the location services to work from my home.  On my old 2nd generation touch, they work perfectly.  I've check all of my settings regarding the location services and everything is 'on'. 

    Jim, Barry,
    This for the replies. For what it is worth, I am confident all settings are OK, at least all the obvious ones.  I just cannot see what is missing.  In terms of what is not working, all Apps having a location option / button (Maps, Google Earth, etc) do not provide location.  For example, Maps will reply by showing a "Cannot determine location" message.  The same applies to the two iPads in the house and to whatever iPads enters on my Wi-Fi.
    Ideas?

  • Location Service not Working with Weather Widget in Notification Center

    Is ibt just me or is the weather widget not validating locations? I have restored iOSS 6.0.2 and toggles location services (enable/disable) for the app and removed it from the notification menu. It is working on both my iMac and MBP. Any suggestions? Anyone else having issues?
    Thanks in advance...Happy New Year!

    I see your point.
    Launching the Weather app updates, but that's not push, right? So it could be that the widget in the NC relies on push. But why does it need to? Why doesn't it request an update when I pull down the NC, just like when I start the Weather app?
    It seems to happen quite often, not like it's a one-off kind of server problem.  I haven't been able to discern a pattern, but it's often enough to be so annoying that I almost want to remove it from the NC.

  • Location Services not accurate!

    So I'm using my iPod 4 as I would usually do and I go on to maps to see what hotels are near me so a relative can stay for a few weeks. My iPod old me I was in Ealing, London when I was in Wigan, Lancashire. It would have been ok if it told me I was in Manchester or something but this is over 200 miles away! I'm a bit doubtful of whether it is a problem with the iPod itself or not, however. Still, if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I am so frustrated with the location service on my iPod-touch. It worked at home fine for the first few months from my wifi router but then suddenly it could 'not find my location'. Nothing was changed except perhaps updates from iTunes. It worked fine last week in Tenerife (it defaults to a place in Tenerife even though I am now home in Deveon!) and at my son's house some half mile away. I have searched the internet for an answer but there is plenty of querys about this subject but no solutions. Apple must be aware of this problem for a number of their customers, but there is absolutely no help from that direction - shame on them. If you try to contact them, they require payment before they will respond! Is there anyone out there (including Apple staff) who can give a simple and effective solution? lease help!

  • Location service not working

    after enabling location service in privacy and safari, still location service is not working. same way the findmyphone says that the macbook pro is online unable to determine the location and also time is not able determine location and auto update time. i think all is related to location service. tried resatrting , updating still not working. Any help is appriciated.

    I tried the regular wifi connection also still not working. For all practical purpose at the auto time update and find my phone should work with any kind of internet only then when the device is lost it would be easy to track it.

  • Os x 10.9 location services not working on a 2008 mac pro

    Maps and all other services that rely of my location are not working for me.
    Do you have to have wifi for it to work?
    I have turned on location services in sys prefs so that is not the problem.
    Early 2008 Mac Pro (no wifi)
    OS X 10.9
    Any help is appreciated.

    I have to turn off wi-fi and use ethernet (to make sure I have the fastest speed – the ethernet-speed – all the time). Why can't I define a location for my external IP-address at this location, so that Maps can use that location in location services?
    Seems strange that there is no way to set your location though. Manually I mean. It is a desktop not a laptop so it doesn't move around.
    You can set the Network priority to Ethernet, so even if you have both Ethernet and also Wi-Fi connected, it will use Ethernet.
    That way you can leave Wi-Fi on for location services, but use your ethernet connection for the speed.
    Go to System Preferences > Network
    Select the gear wheel at the bottom and select the Set Service Order. Drag the connections in the order that you want to be priority.

  • Suddenly Location service not working on iPad. What's up ?

    Suddenly location service is not working on new iPad. What's up?

    I have a similar issue with my iPad 2 Wi-Fi. At first I couldn’t find a reason of Wi-Fi lost connection (Wi-Fi icon is indicated, but nothing happen).
    Then I found out that lost of the connection happens only after any app tries to locate my iPad 2. Anyway location worked only a couple of times.
    Now I get a stable Wi-Fi connection after disabling all location services. It is confirmed by doing ping command for 8 hours – all packets were received by iPad 2.
    I hope after firmware update this problem vanishes.
    P.S. iPad 2 Wi-Fi 32GB with iOS 4.3.3, router D-Link DIR-615.
