Network dropping while activating Location Services

when ever i use location based apps my network as well as wifi drops. i have the same problem on ios 5.1.1 so i updated to 6.1.3 but problem remains. can any one know what to do.i am using iphone 3gs 6.1.3 baseband 5.16.08 any my phone is factory unlocked

Please define "factory unlocked". Apple does not use that term at all.
iPhones are either locked, or unlocked. They can be purchased unlocked in some countries, and in many countries they can be unlocked by the carrier who holds the lock. Anything else is a hack.
Where exactly did you get the phone? How EXACTLY was it unlocked?

MBP Dropped while in for Service

I have a problem; My MBP was in for a service under warranty (Found an error during hardware tests) at a nextbyte service centre. They dropped the laptop and have replaced the screen, case and hard drive. They want me to take it back like that. I'm not sure if the drop would have caused some damage to the mother board and am worried I will be stuck with a repair bill in the future. Should I be asking for a new laptop from them?

Absolutely, ask for a new machine! I don't know anything about nextbyte, but if they are a halfway reputable company they will certainly replace a machine damaged while in their "care". I wouldn't accept anything less than a new machine after having to have so much damage repaired due to someone else's negligence. As much as we'd like to believe these machines are bulletproof, if a drop caused that much damage, certainly other internal components could have become damaged, i.e.: optical drive, speakers, wiring solder, etc.. Sorry that happened! Good Luck!

They are probably restricted.

Location Services: Setting Time Zone... Always Active

Just wondering if anybody else is experiencing the always active SETTING TIME ZONE setting in LOCATION SERVICES / SYSTEM SERVICES.
It's always purple - never stops polling for location.
I've noticed a change in the battery life for my iPhone 4 and I think this is the culprit.
Is that setting needed for anything in particular or can it safely be turned off?
Thanks for any advice you have!

Grrrrrr, now (after the iOS 5.0.1 update), this is happening not only on my iPad, but also on my iPhone 4S, which never had the problem on iOS 5.0. So, instead of going from 1 to 0 devices having the problem, I've gone from 1 to 2 after the update! Isn't this the opposite of what was supposed to happen?
Letting the iPhone sleep for a while, shutting it off and turning it back on, resetting it with home+power, all do nothing. Weirdly, it *wasn't* doing this right after I did the update; it only started about a day or so later.
****Update: and now it's off again, but it did come on for about 10 minutes and then turned off again. Hmmmmm. I agree that having the status bar icon enabled is a good idea, to at least be able to see when this happens and disable it if you're in a situation where battery life matters.

HT4995 i lost my iphone 4 last night and its not reachable assuming someone took out the sim.. so can i or my network company track the iphone which is not reachable through assuming location services and find my phone apps are enabled?

No. Find My Phone is the only way to locate any lost iPhone. However, this requires that Find My Phone be turned on/activated before the phone was lost, and the phone must have an Internet connection. If your phone is turned off, does not have an Internet connection, or has been restored, there is no way to locate it.

Toggling Location Services for apps to "While Using" not possible in iOS 8

So I've read one of the features in iOS 8 is being able to toggle the location services features of apps as follows:
Never
Always
While Using
I thought this would be useful because it could potentially help saving battery, however, I've only got the "Never" and "Always" options.
Only after opening an app have I found that the "Always" option switches to "While Using" , but then the "Always" option disappears. But this isn't true for all apps.
Is this an app specific "feature", then, as that's not how websites are labelling it.

Hello CCC,
It is happening on the following devices:
iPhone5
iPhone5s (two)
each have a "Family" generated iTunes account which has been associated to my iTunes account as the organizer. I would probably like to see it resolved on the iPhone5s (son and daughter) first and then the iPhone5 (wife).
2. I am also experiencing issues with "Mail" using IOS 8 in that email will not delete from my inboxes (same devices as above)...
3. I also have an issue with iCalendar not syncing events to my family members devices (iPhone5 and iPhone5S) using IOS 8. I entered my son's volleyball games into calendar on my macbook which is associated to my apple id as organizer and none of the other devices associated to other family iTunes account received the updates. I have an iPhone5 as well and I received the updates.
4. I am also experiencing issues with Family not recognizing pictures of family members which I have been trying to get fixed up.
I don't think I have ever experienced this many glitches when updating to a new version from Apple before:(. I sure hope this is not going to be the new norm.
I have also noticed that Health kit does not allow you to change the unit of measures within the application that it forces you to use the country's standard. This might be fine for younger individuals but as for me who grew up learning imperial and changed to metric halfway through school I would prefer the option to choose which unit of measure to use.
Thanks for taking the time to respond,

Location Services - Always Active ?

I saw a post on here saying that when not using GPS, maps etc you should go in and turn off location services, as otherwise it is constantly active and tracking your phone therefore reducing the battery.
Does anyone know if this is right ? Does manually going in and turning off location services everytime help preserve battery life ?
Thanks !

This isn't true. the gps is only used during active use, ie, using google maps and hitting the locate me button, or using a 3rd party app that requests your location. It is not continuously active.

Did you have a passcode lock on it? Or did you have restrictions enabled? If not, it is very possible someone has found it, simple disabled location services in settings, and is using it. If you did not secure it, anyone with it can do anything they want with it as it is when found.

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.

When i turn my location service my network is lost and joins again and it is lost again ? in iphone 3gs any idea ?

when i turn my location service my network is lost and joins again and it is lost again it happens again and again
in iphone 3gs
any idea how to resolve it ?

OK - more details/info now.
When I use terminal and type this:
drutil eject
I believe the DVD drives makes the odd noise I heard when I booted the laptop up.
Any thoughts?
I'm guessing that means my fan/hardrive are actually OK then, and it's probably the mechanism in the DVD drive that is causing problems?
I'm almost certain there's no DVD stuck in there?

HT201472 Does location services have to be on for activation lock to work ?

Will activation lock work if location services is turned off ?

How does Activation Lock work?
When you enable Find My iPhone on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 7, your Apple ID is securely stored on Apple’s activation servers and linked to your device. From that point on, your password will be required before anyone can turn off Find My iPhone on your device, erase your device, or reactivate and use your device.
Activation Lock is enabled automatically when you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7, or when you upgrade to iOS 7 from a previous version of iOS that has Find My iPhone already turned on.
To turn on Find My iPhone on your device:
Go to Settings.
Tap iCloud.
Sign in with your Apple ID, if necessary.
Turn on Find My iPhone.
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
iCloud: Activation Lock

Wi-Fi Networking in Location Services System Services

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out what the "Wi-Fi Networking" toggle controls. This is located withing Settings > Location Services > System Services > Wi-Fi Networking.
Thanks for the help if anyone can provide any. I've been searching around the web and can't find an answer on this one.

I would like a clarification of this too. This aritlce is unhelpful on the point: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5594?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US The new user manual iBooks for iPad and iPhone are also not detailed enough to discuss this setting.
Pappasbike, where did you find that reference?
From what you've said, and a little more searching, I suspect the setting may be related to the new Hotspot 2.0 ("Passpoint") initiative:
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/06/ios-7-will-hop-from-one-wi-fi-hotspot-to-an other-no-password-needed/
http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/11/ios-7-beta-hotspot-20-support-will-lea d-to-hassle-free-wi-fi-access
"Wi-Fi HotSpot 2.0: One of the more-technical terms on iOS 7’s additional features slide, Wi-Fi HotSpot 2.0 automatically seeks out Wi-Fi subscriber services (for instance, AT&T’s hotspot network for an AT&T iPhone subscriber) and joins them when you’re in the area. In theory, this feature should provide you with faster Internet access and fewer bandwidth constraints.": http://www.macworld.com/article/2041306/27-new-ios-7-features-apple-didnt-talk-a bout.html
So, if I'm right, the setting is related to Apple building a crowd-sourced database of HotSpot 2.0/Passpoint access points/locations. Since I'm not liking the battery drain of iOS 7 as it is, this is staying off for me for now.

Location Services while abroad...

I am wondering if keeping Location Services switched on while abroad is charging me the way that keeping data roaming switched on will. I currently have data roaming switched off, but it would be rather nice to use my maps and other apps that require location services...
However, I do NOT want a 5,000 dollar phone bill when I arrive home.

If you have data roaming turned off then location services should only use WiFi or GPS facilities to locate you. Unless you have downloaded a GPS program which stores the maps on your device you will not be able to use the Maps app when you are not connected to a server. You would have to switch to data roaming to do this and you are correct, it would be costly.
