Location services - is this active all the time??

I was wondering whether anyone new if location service in the iPhone 3g is constantly on in the back ground? If it is does it drain battery??
Hopefully this only starts when an app that requires it fires up.

No, it's only active when you launch an app that uses it (Maps, Camera, downloaded Apps like Where, Loopt, etc.).
Turning it OFF in Settings > General will result in a pop-up dialog requesting permission when an App needs it, and that will also turn Location Services back ON in settings.

  • HT4528 I recently downloaded the newest software and now my Iphone 4s shows the location services Icon is on all the time.  How can I change this back to what we originally had or is there a fix for this?

    When I downloaded the most recent software update the location services Icon showed up even thought I was not running any programs.  Is this something new and is it going to drain my battery?  This was not happening before the download.  I am told I have to just turn off the location services biut I do use them on a daily basis and it seems to be a pain to have to shut if off everytime.  Does anyone know how to fix this or am I just screwed until I upgrade the phone?

    Hi Avahhava,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    As a first step, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If you have tried those two things, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
    iPhone User Guide

  • Satellite L655-11J - Hard disk activity all the time

    Toshiba please I need help
    The first run of my laptop I entered my location my name and a password, I install Toshiba updates and Windows 7 updates (the notifications I got) then I noticed the hard drive is active all the time and the laptop is very slow. I tried a lot to restore the original Toshiba image the built in the laptop and I finally did it thinking maybe I did something wrong
    The hard disk drive still always active (don't know what reading or writing) no monitoring for any activity the laptop very slow and lot of seeking sounds.
    any solution please, I got this problem the first use of it :(

    I know it has a guarantee and they will replace it for free, but it was a gift from Saudi Arabia, I'm now in Syria :( I've to wait until on of my relative go back there :D
    I went to Toshiba in Syria they charge my 7 $ to tell me the hard is defective although I knew it was so, and I will need to pay 100$ for a replacement so I will wait ;)
    thanks all, it was my mistake, it is just I noticed the HDD light always on in windows 7 and it was not on in USB Linux so I thought it was a system problem, I didn't have much time to work on it and make tests :D
    I'm sorry again

  • How to keep the save-button active all the time?

    Hi!
    I'm using mobile sales 4.0.
    On a tile i've only fixed questions and combo boxes with yes and no ...
    When i write manually a "yes" in the combo box field the save button is active - When i use the combo box with a mouse click the save-button isn't active.
    What are the settings i've to do to keep the save-button active all the time?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Best regards,
    Ingo

    Hi Ingo,
    If your combobox is a bound control, then when you change a value in it, the save button should be enabled. Strange. But anyway, you can do this.
    In the <b>combobox_OnValueChanged2</b> event, make a call to makeDirty method in the tile:
    If boundAttributeChanged Then
         <b>anchorthatyourcombotiedto</b>.bo.MakeDirty True
    End If
    This will make the Save button enabled.
    Regards, Vadim.

  • After I Repair The Permissions On My Mac Pro, Then I Verify The Permissions And They Have To Be Repaired Again And Again.  Why Does This Happen All The Time.   Please Reply,  James

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
    Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:

  • Make audio (optical) port active all the time

    Well, as my topic says... Is there anyway to make the optical audio port active all the time while I have the connector inserted?
    My issue is that it shuts down when I don't play any music/video on my MBP and my reciever doesn't recive a signal, in that way it makes a humming sound...
    Very annoying.
    Any idea?

    Hello MrDanne,
    No, you cannot make the optical audio port active 'all the time' for when your Mac is shutdown, this includes the all internal electrical circuits (besides your power unit) thus the port cannot be active.
    The humming sound is known as distortion, this occurs because there is an un-avoidable interference caused by particles when there is no signal communicated through the cable.
    When you shut down your MBP, you should also turn off the receiver.

  • I get this error all the time. Only happened since last month. Script: chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml:537

    ever since up upgraded to firefox 6 i have had problems. i get this error all the time Script: chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml:537
    MAKE IT STOP!!!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox 3.6.3 wont play embedded youtube videos. It comes up with "an error occured please try again later. this happens all the time

    Firefox 3.6.3 wont play embedded youtube videos. It comes up with "an error occurred please try again later. this happens all the time. If you click to go to youtube the clip plays.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I was having the same issue up until I found a solution myself a few minutes ago. If you have "Accept Third Party Cookies" un-checked it will not allow the embedded "Third party" youtube videos to load. You can either Check the box to allow third party cookies or add an exception to allow youtube.com WITHOUT the www. You just want it to be Youtube.Com.
    To do so just go to Tools: Options: Privacy: Exceptions: Type in Youtube.com and click Allow. Then click Close and OK. It should start working immediately.

  • When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

    When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

    Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
    Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out.  This is ridiculous.
    I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Mic is too sensitive, calls constantly cut out. People tell me y loud, and it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. Any background noise, and call is completely cutting out. This occurs all the time, but more so using earphones with in cord mic.

    I have iphone5 ios6 and the Mic is too sensitive, and calls constantly cut in and  out. People tell me there is loud background noise and it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel. Any background noise, and call completely cuts in and out and sounds as if call is dropping. This occurs all the time, but more noticeable while using earphones with in cord mic. I never had this problem with my old iphone4. Has anyone experienced this, and is there a setting that can correct this problem?

    Same problem for me.  So bad in fact that I can't really use my headphones for calls.  I have tried it with several sets of headphones.  My primary are the Bang and Olufsen headphones which were great with the previous iphone 4 and 3. 
    Apple please address this issue.

  • Am a member, but work alone, don't have a team. How do I explain this, getting all the time the note: "We are having trouble verifying your membership" Adobe means the team membership/

    Am constantly receiving this note, when I open my Photoshop:
    When the first subscription year ended, last August, I purchased again a subscription to Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom (from another provider and for less money), nothing else, as these 2 are what I need being a photographer.
    I'm freelance and work alone. There is definitely no team with me. So why do I need a team membership/account????

    There is no problem in working with my Photoshop. I work with it all the time. I'm only afraid that at Adobe they think that I had not paid for the software. It's true that I didn't pay for a team subscription, but for sure paid for the software, and I didn't find, on opening the link, how to prove this:
