Problems with 'Find My iPhone' & Making Phone Calls

Find my iPhone was installed in my iPhone 4 and I would like to ask a few questions as stated below:
1. When I lost my iPhone, can I find where my iPhone is? My wifi option is usually turned off to save battery and the cellular data is also turned off as the Internet package in my country is not cheap.
2. When I try to access find my iPhone on a pc with the conditions above, my iPhone cannot be located. Does it related to the settings in 'Mail, Contacts and Calendars'? The  Find My iPhone option is on in the iCloud tab and in the 'Fetch New Data' tab, 'push' is on and fetch 'manually'.
3. Sometimes, when I go to certain areas, I can't make a phone call or receive messages as well. I try to restart my iPhone but it doesn't seemed functioning at all. I tried to type *#06# several times in the phone interface, but it didn't show me anything. After a time, I figured out that after I turned on  and off 'cellular data' then only it returned to normal condition. The imei number also will pop out a few times as I typed in the phone interface several times.

I usually use wifi when I am at home or even out. If I cannot track where my iPhone is, then what use of Find My iPhone invented for? And also the built in Assisted GPS function for the only uses of offline navigation and location service ONLY when with Internet access. Unlike the other phones such as GalaxySII, it can be real-time tracked. Although Apple has many restrictions, but it should improve the safety services.
iPhone or iPad, with or without cellular data or even wifi sometimes, is always full with fun and functionable. I can deal with my works with many useful apps such as quick office, pages etc. When I am bored, oops, I'm sorry, I won't be bored - I can spend my time with a thousand types of games or watching a series of movies/ dramas downloaded. With iDevices, I will not be living in a dull and meaningless world.

  • Having problems with find my iphone map

    The basic map appears and but you cannot zoom in or out or change it hybrid or satellite map.  The three buttons bottom right corner are now a bright green.  I am using windows 8 and tried it on both explorer and google chrome.  It used to work great up until about two weeks ago.  Anyone know why this is happening on icloud.com?

  • Problems with Find My iPhone/iPod

    It doesn't seem to able to locate the exact location of my iPod Touch. I have connected and disconnected wi-fi on my iPod Touch a few times to see if that helps. But it doesn't. MobileMe seems to say my iPod Touch is 10 blocks away from where I currently am when my iPod Touch is with me. This isn't just with the Find My iPhone/iPod tool though. The same goes with Google Earth app for the iPod Touch. They both tell me my iPod is 10 blocks away from where it currently stands. Does this problem only happen on some countries? I'm currently in New Zealand if that helps.

    I really didn't think about it that way. Yeah bits of it is true. But if wi-fi tracking isn't that accurate, shouldn't the location change each time it is reset? Because I have tried resetting and it always gives me the same address that it did before I reset the wi-fi connection on my iPod.
    There is one other thing that I forgot to mention. It showed me my exact location when I connected wi-fi internet through my cousin's internet connection a block away from where I lived.

  • Iphone 4 problems with find my iphone

    does anybody have a problem getting an iphone4 to show up as a device on "find my iphone"

    I assume the iphone is logged into an icloud account and in Settings>icloud, you have turned on Find My iPhone.  Right?
    On what device or computer are you searching for the iphone?  Using the Find My iPhone app or looking at icloud.com via a browser?

  • Problems with Find my iPhone

    Why when i turn on the find my iphone the system always turn it off afterwards

    once you turn it on, its on.  It does not show up as an app running, but it is registered, and if you lose your device, you can trigger the find feature from another phone or computer.

    You're not speaking to Apple on in this forum, nor will someone from Apple see this post.   We are just users like you and I.
    Have you tried to restore or reset your phone?
    Or contact your carrier in re: to your sim card

  • HI I have an Iphone 3GS and the microphone jack works when I play music but not when making phone calls.   please help as I use it for conference calls

    Hi   I use my phone for conference calls and use the microphone jack to connect to speakers.      It doesnt work when making phone calls but when i play music on the phone the jack works with the external speaker.   

    Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
    BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

  • I  spend good money for my iPhone i have the iPhone 5 with the new charger slot which is smaller. I have been through at least 3 charging cords and this is not acceptable to me. i never had a problem with this on my older phone. apple needs to correct tho

    I  spend good money for my iPhone i have the iPhone 5 with the new charger slot which is smaller. I have been through at least 3 charging cords and this is not acceptable to me. i never had a problem with this on my older phone. apple needs to correct this and reimburse me for this cord.

    Charging cords are covered by the iPhone warranty or their own warranty
    if puchased separately. Take your iPhone and the cords to your local
    Apple store for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • HT204053 I have another Apple ID from when I originally set up this iPod, now I can't reset it as I am also set up with Find My iPhone which may have been doen by mistake I have been in contact with Apple itself and they can't fix the problem so far

    i have originally forgotten my pass code for a new iPod Touch, now I have with Apple's help reset it to factory, my issue is due to the change in my Apple ID , the iPod will not  let me set it up under the new Id or the old one.I also have been set up with find my iPhone and I don't remember if I did this or not, could have been the grand children trying to help out. Any ideas or suggestions, I haven't even used this yet and I have owned it for 6months already. Really am disappointed that the process is so difficult to navigate.

    I have also noticed the same "problem".  I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

  • IPhone 4 updated from 6.0 to 7.1.2 and now the picture no longer appears when receiving or making phone calls.  How do I fix this?

    I updated the software for my iPhone 4 from 6.0 to 7.1.2 and now pictures (contact picture/picture ID's) no longer appear (take up the entire screen) when receiving or making phone calls.  They only show in a small circle which is not convenient at all.  How do I fix this, please?

    You are welcome. I have seen numerous posts on this subject, so I suspect you are correct. It doesn't seem like a welcome change. You can send feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • I've lost my iPhone5 like 40 hours ago. I already turned the Lost mode on with Find my iphone app. But my phone has no data plan so it could not connect to the internet at all. I reported to the police, too. What else can I do? Can anybody advise?

    No...see the link I posted:
    If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
    If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
    Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
    Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
