Location services fault in OS 4.0?

I'm on o2 in the UK and updated to OS 4.0 this morning. All seems to have gone well but I compared mine to my friend's on Vodafone (he also has a 3GS) and under his 'Location Services' he has options for his camera and Tune-In Radio (an app we both have). This means he can switch on the location services for each app. However, under mine I have none of those options, just the option to switch Location Services on or off.
In my Photo app, I do have the new 'Places' feature and it correctly tells me where my photos were taken so it appears that the feature is actually in there and working. I'm just curious as to why there is a variation between our phones.
Does the OS update vary ever so slightly between different carriers? Is his a bit different because he's Vodafone and I'm o2 or has my update not gone in correctly?

I had the same problem very easy to sort. I have the tomtom app and like you it did'nt show under location. All that you need to do is open the app that use location services like tomtom or National Rail. This should bring up a box which say "Would you like to Use Your Current Location" click ok and then go back in to location services and it should now show up in the list.

  • Ok why doesn't find my iphone have a selection to turn back on location services? it only makes sense in the case that whoever stole ur ipad will turn it off.

    ok so first off my ipad was stolen, it was all my savings since im a college student attending uci and now the art institutes. my ipad was stolen the other day and the first thing the culprit did was turn of location services. i had find my iphone installed and running and everything but they turned it off. there should be an update for find my iphone to turn location services back on in this case. or is it that apple is so money hungry even after making billions that they wish for me to buy another one as if im made of money? seriously? apple claims to take care of their consumers, yet i get the run around and so do thousands of other apple fans when it comes to stolen property, **** it should be part of ios to take advantage of the gps, wifi signal, cellular signal etc. to trace a apple product yet it's not even on apple's todo list? some customer service.

    Sorry for your loss, but had you put a lock code on you iPad, the theif would not likely have been able to go in and turn off location services to begin with.  The sad truth however is, once an iPad/iPhone/iPod is stolen, it's pretty difficult to stop someone from getting away with it.  It's not Apple's fault and they can't be responsible for theft.  It's just a sad testimony to our society........And while your blaming Apple for your loss, just remember that No, Zero, Nada, electronics manufacturers get involved in theft.  Nor do cellular providers.  Theft is an issue for the police, not the manufacturer or service provider.

  • Is it true Apple requires location services be turned on for photo uploading apps? If so, why?!

    I can't think of one ethical reason why this should be mandatory information in regards to my photo storage online. I was told by Shutterfly, when I complained, that it was Apple's fault, not theirs. For real?

    Any app that accesses existing photos or videos in your Camera Roll / Photos App must ask for access to location data because of the fact that the photos taken with other apps may have location data attached. This is a security measure put in place by Apple to protect your privacy. 
    If you're not convinced, try using an app that can either use existing photos or take a new one. If you turn off location services for the app in settings, you should get an error message when trying to load an existing image, but you should be able to take a photo in most apps like this without any issues.

  • Server Locator Service Failed to Start

    Received Event ID:4380 on single Exchange Server (once part of a DAG but no more - removed other servers and the DAG). Error reads: 'net.tcp://huntsvr.huntelectric.local:64337/Exchange.HighAvailability'. Error A TCP error (10013: An attempt was made to access

    Event ID: 2121. The Microsoft Exchange Replication service failed to start the TCP listener. Error: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions ..."
    The above two errors are joined by this error:

    And the next error appears as well:

    These 4 errors repeat every minute. Any suggestions of where to find a resolution?
    Thanks,

    Hi Michael,
    The above errors indicate the following two things:
    1. An existing service is using port 64337.
    2. Port 64337 is blocked by firewall.
    I recommend you use the commands below to check if port 64337 is used by a program.
    netstat -aon | findstr "64337"
    tasklist | findstr "64337"
    What's more, here is a thread for your reference.

  • 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.

  • My iPhone 4S runs out of battery power very quickly.  I have disabled all functions (ie location services, push notifications etc etc) that actively use power.  However, even when in standby mode for most of the day, I'm lucky to get 12 hours out of it.

    I read in the press this might be a design fault.  Does anyone know how I can resolve this?

    There is a huge thread discussing this problem: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16542550. There is a lot of discussion around locations services and the notification centre however many users are experiencing different levels of battery drain and there is no definitive fix at present.  You may want to try some of the 'fix' suggestion in those posts and that may help but I would urge to keep an eye on the thread as that is where the majority of the community is focussing and discussing the issue.  Also take a look at this recent article:http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/oct/28/iphone-4s-battery-apple-enginee rs.
    I know it's little consolation but there many people experiencing the same problem.

  • 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.

  • Left my phone in the movie theatre..what do I do? how do i contact location services?

    I just left my phone in the movies...and now they are closed!  how do I contact location services to make sure it is still there?

    If you were running iOS 5 or higher, had enabled iCloud and Find My iPhone before losing it, you can go to icloud.com on your computer and try to locate it as outlined here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.  If it's turned on, still has Find My iPhone enabled, and has a connection to the internet, it should appear on the map.
    If you didn't enable Find My iPhone before losing it you won't be able to locate it.

  • Location services shows wrong location

    I have an iPhone 5 with latest iOS. I live in Kennesaw GA. I installed xfinity Internet at my new home.
    When my phone is connected to wifi, it shows the current location as charleston SC.   This is for any app that uses the GPS.
    My wife has an iPhone 4S with latest iOS and her current location is correct when connected to wifi.
    So I find it strange that my phone shows my current location as Charleston.
    When I turn off the wifi, the current location is correct.
    If anyone has experienced the same problem please respond.

    Improving GPS accuracy
    GPS accuracy varies depending on the number of visible GPS satellites. Locating all visible satellites can take several minutes, with accuracy gradually increasing over time. Use these tips to improve GPS accuracy:
    Ensure the date, time, and time zone are correctly set on the device in Settings > General > Date & Time. If possible, use Set Automatically.
    Important: Incorrect settings on your computer can sync to your device. Verify the date, time, and time zone on any computer that syncs with your device.
    Restart your device.
    Verify that you have a cellular or Wi-Fi network connection. This allows the Assisted GPS (A-GPS) on the device to locate visible GPS satellites faster, in addition to providing initial location information using the Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
    Note: Microcells (sometimes called Femtocells) are not supported with Location Services.
    Maintain a clear view of the horizon in several directions. Keep in mind that walls, vehicle roofs, tall buildings, mountains, and other obstructions can block line of sight to GPS satellites. When this occurs, your device will automatically use Wi-Fi or cellular networks to determine your position, until the GPS satellites are visible again.

  • How do i use location service to ind my iphone?

    how do i use location service to find my lost iphone?

    Silica Gel usually comes in a porous bag within a perforated box. Put the bag and the phone in a ziplock bag together. If you buy loose silica gel just put it in the plastic bag, then put the phone on top of it. Try not to get the grains of silica gel in the openings on the phone, as it will be hard to get out.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • IOS 8.1.2 Location Services constantly being used

    There is a bug with 8.1.2 and I am not sure where to report it.
    Location services is constantly in use. 
    The System Services settings I disabled were apparently reenabled with the iOS 8.1.2 update and this is killing the battery on my iPad 3.
    I have a solution but really this should not be happening in the first place so where do I log this bug?

    You can see which app is using location services here: Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
    Apps with a purple arrow next to them are using your location services.

  • Performance Issues with Location Services

    I am having performance lag issues with most apps with location services turned on. This is a new issue that has crept up after update to iOS 4.2.1. Apps get slow and upon exiting the location service is still active as indicated by arrow icon in top right of screen. Any recommendation short of killing all location services? Note this even occurs in apple apps such as photos.

    Have you tried basics from the manual?
    restart.
    reset.
    restore.

  • The problem with ALAssetsLibrary and Location Services

    I have developed a photo app for the iPhone, released a couple of days ago, that's doing rather good in the App Store, but would probably do a lot better if it weren't for the negative reviews saying that they can't understand why the app wants access to Location Services to be able to select photos from the photo gallery.
    The app lets users select photos from their gallery, which they then can style and edit in different ways. To do this I use the ALAssetsLibrary class. So far so good. The problem with the ALAssetsLibrary class is that if I wish to use it to access photos on the device, the user must give the app access to Location Services, as well. Why, you ask? Well, because photos in the gallery might possibly include information on when and where the photo was taken. If the user doesn't give the app access to Location Services, the app won't be able to access the photos at all.
    In my app I'm not interested in the location services data at all - I just want the user to be able to select photos. But as far as I know there is just no way to read photos without Location Services enabled. As a developer I can sort of buy this limitation - because I understand why it exists - but apparently my users can not. And as a user myself I have to agree with them. Why on earth do they/I have to allow the app to access Location services for me to be able to select photos? It doesn't make sense!
    At the moment I'm getting a lot of negative reviews saying "I downloaded and deleted. The app wants access to Location Services when I try to select a photo. This seems fishy. Don't download it". I agree. It DOES seem fishy, but I couldn't care less about their location data, and although I try to inform the user about this in the app, a lot of people doesn't seem to care, or understand why this is the way it is.
    So, what's the point of this rant? Well, to start with, wouldn't it be better if iOS asked something like "This app needs access to your photos" instead of "This app needs access to your location", when using the ALAssetsLibrary?
    Also, instead of using the ALAssetsLibrary I could have used the UIImagePickerController - if only it had supported landscape orientation. Why, why, WHY doesn't it? My app is landscape only, and therefore I had to build my own image picker functionality, instead of using the default one. Portrait only is a very stupid limitation, if you ask me.
    Finally, is there SOME way at all to access the photos on the device without requiring Location Services as well?
    Thank you for listening,
    Andreas Lindahl
    Rodskagg

    Unfortunately, there is no way to directly access the photo library without prompting the user for Location Services permission. I just posted an article on my blog about this very issue (and referenced your post): http://blog.mikeswanson.com/post/18269837647/location-services. I hope that this situation can be improved in a future release of iOS.
