Reception, and location services

Omg I am in the middle of Houston medical center and many other places around it. My cell services for Google maps for example is something I need dearly for my job and I barely get service. It's ridiculous, I see why Verizon is on top att does suckered I regret coming to this service

Settings/General/Network/3G toggle
I turned my 3G off as well when not playing with the internet. It seems to block my phone calls because my work called me and I didn't know. Then the voice mail came on when the 3G was disabled.

  • Traffic not showing in Notifications IOS 7. I have all turned on in notifications and location services allowed in Maps. I have been all over internet, followed set up instructions, even re-set settings (fixed weather not showing) but still no traffic?

    I should clarify: I didn't know it fell out, but I check my phone often enough that there were only about 10 minutes between when I last put it in my pocket and then realized it wasn't there.
    We asked everyone around us if they saw it, and like 10 people were helping us look. But my husband used Find My iPhone and the Prey app right away when we realized it was missing (again, at most 15 minutes from the last time I used it) and it was already in offline / "cannot locate" mode.

  • TS4006 "Find my IPhone" app on my iPad can't even locate the iPad I'm using. And I'm on a WiFi network and location services are turned on. Ideas?

    I'm using the "Find my IPhone" app on my iPad and it can't even locate the iPad I'm using, not to mention the iPhone I'm looking for. They are both listed as devises, it just says they're both offline, which I know is wrong. I'm on a WiFi network and location services are turned on. Ideas?

    Is Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Find My iPad turned ON?

  • 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,

    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.

  • Verizon Reception and Customer Service On Extreme Decline

    My husband has been a loyal Verizon customer for almost a decade and I was on Tmobile several years back.  He told me that Verizon was great and it was true...3 years ago, and so I decided to cancel my Tmobile service and join Verizon....even though it was much more expensive.  Verizon use to be known as the more expensive, but much better quality and reception carrier...(e.g. "Can you hear me now?" commercials, which funny, have now dropped off the face of the earth).   So we both had been on Verizon and been paying an arm and a leg and of course, we buy their phones, which come with these limited warranties and essentially stop working before the contract term is up, you end up renewing your contract.  We had no problem with doing this and I was able to get an IPhone 4S before the IPhone 5 came out.  That was middle of last year, and we had noticed the service was starting to go bad, but the people at the Corporate Verizon Store told me they were working on it and it would get better.  So I signed on the dotted line...and little did I know because I got another phone, the people at the store decided to add some "third phantom line" I didn't even know about so my bill jumped!  So we have two phones and are paying for three!  My bill runs for two phones with limited data and minutes to around $170.00-$190.00...which is fine if the service was worth anything.  But the service has just been going down the drain!  My calls get dropped, they go in and out, my emails don't load, the internet doesn't work half the time and my husband pretty much completely can't use his phone - he can't ever get any emails and never has reception.  I have to leave him voicemails or text him to call me because his phone always just goes straight to v/m.   So, we were pretty much fed up - we wanted to stick it out because my husband had been such a long time customer and we were hoping things with get better, but they didnt.  My husband was always telling me how great customer service was, and if you call them they will take care of you...but I don't know how they could make the service better. 
    But anyways, we call trying to see what the termination fee was and wow...$300+ for each line including a line no one told me they added on?  Seems like fraud.  So I googled it and apparently this was a big issues with Verizon doubling cancellation fees - how can they get away with this?  They said it goes down $10 for every month up until the day the contract terminates and even if you cancel a day before it would be over $100...So we were looking at $900+ to terminate!  Okay, fine, so seems like we are stuck apparently.  Funny, because when I went in 2012 to get a new phone, I explicitly asked if there was anything different (my friends who HAD verizon told me to be careful because Verizon is getting worse and worse and really sneaky) and they guy failed to mention that they doubled the cancellation fee...misrepresentation?  So we said fine, if we are stuck with awful service for a few more years, well we don't want to pay a premium for bad service (in fact, we were thinking to just get another phone with someone else in the mean time because we both need the phones and data packages for our work in Corporate America)...and we were paying $168 and the lady told us she can drop us down to $175...um...wait you are trying to upsell me?  I know how much I pay each month.  Unreal.  And the lady at customer service was literally arguing with us.  It was unreal!  What happened Verizon??  I was really taken aback and we kept asking to talk to a supervisor because she was so unprofessional and rude and clearly trying to rip us off and she kept refusing for 30 minutes...Its been almost 2 hours on the phone with them and they said okay, we'll try to give you a tiny bit of credit and oh yeah, it takes 5 minutes to load one page on the internet and your calls get dropped and your email doesnt work?  Too bad, wait out your contract....I will be sure to tell all my friends and family members just how awful Verizon has become because I am just beyond disappointed.

    1. Verizon doesn't make any phones, the warranty comes from the manufacture. It is a one year limited waranty, same as ANY electronic device (hard drive, monitor, usb etc etc)
    you bought a subsizied phone, you didnt pay full price that is why there is an ETF..it is not some trick or scam, it is common sense. (removed)
    2. verizon ad campaigns change, watch the superbowl last year there was a can you hear me now commercial.
    3. verizon invests more into its network than all the other carriers combined every year. Not every area will get the same service, some carriers are stronger than others.. what city do you live in?
    4. you pay for service, you get service. there is no loyalty here.
    5. where do you calls drop? have you tried marking them and putting in a ticket?
    6. where does your data drop, email not loading? are you indoors when this happens?
    7. Where is your husband when you call him and and it goes to VM, does he turn his phone off when he is at work?

  • No off switch for diagnostic usage and location services

    When you click on diagnostic usage in settings there is a link to a privacy statement. It says you can turn off location sevices in diagnostic usage by going to setting locations system services. Guess what there is no entry for diagnostic usage. So either you use diagnostic usage with location or not at all. Why???
    Also what is iAds???

    I copied this from this site.
    http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/threads/what-is-the-location-based-iads-on- my-ip4s-for.81572/
    This from Wikipedia:
    iAd is a mobile advertising platform developed by Apple Inc. for its iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad line of mobile devices allowing third-party developers to directly embed advertisements into their applications. Announced on April 8, 2010, iAd is part of Apple's iOS 4, originally stated for release on June 21, 2010, the actual date change to July 1, 2010 was announced at Apple's June 7, 2010 keynote, with an iPad version appearing in the fall. Hosted and sold by Apple, the iAd platform is expected to compete with Google's AdMob mobile advertising service.
    Similar to AdMob, iAd facilitates integrating advertisements into applications sold on the iOS App Store. If the user taps on an iAd banner, a full-screen advertisement appears within the application, unlike other ads that send the user into theSafari web browser. Ads are promised to be more interactive than on other advertising services, and users will able to close them at any time, returning to where they left their app. Apple CEO Steve Jobs has indicated that Apple will retain 40% of the ad revenue, in line with what he called "industry standard", with the other 60% going to the developers. iAd is expected to benefit free applications as well.
    Apparently you are correct about that diagnostics setting. I can't find it either - but I have a tendency to not be very observant! :)

  • IOS 5 and Location service

    I just installed the new software on my Iphone 4. It was my understanding from what I have been reading that I could set different vibration alerts for each of my email accounts and my messages. When I looked at the features of the new software it said I could do this also. However I cannot figure out how to accomplish this. Hopefully someone can help.
    Also no matter what I do and set I cannot get the weather on the drop down to change with my location. I had the Genius bar set it for me but still not following me to different areas..What can I do?
    Message was edited by: sfd4

    Customer Vibrations can only be configured for Contacts.
    To enable the feature, first head to Settings, then General, then Accessibility.
    Turn on Customized Vibrations, then find a contact and tap "Edit."
    Scroll down and tap "Vibration," then scroll down and tap "Create New Vibration."

  • How do I get features to show up in general settings like iCloud and FaceTime? I also can't turn on location services for Siri. I have the new iPad and have updated to the new operating system. Please Help Me.

    How do I get features to show up in General Settings like iCloud and FaceTime and Location services to show up for Siri?

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

  • My location services are on and it is saying that I'm in Utah when I'm truly in Ohio

    Ever since downloading the latest updates, my location services are saying that I am Utah instead of Ohio...not sure how to fix this...called customer support and they say as as long I'm using the correct time zone and location services are on, everything should be fine on there end.

    What you're really doing is trying to create a new icloud account using an ID that is not currently associated with a user's account.  A device can only do this a fixed number of times (3 or 5, don't remember), after which you must use a different device or computer to create the account.

  • Compass, Location Services and Some times 3G connectivity don't work

    Hi all,
    Currently I am experiencing problems with the compass and location services.
    The compass does not work at all, it appears to be only ever pointing North at 0 degrees. The location services on the google maps app refuses to locate my position, not matter where I try it (I've tried outside, inside, built up areas, open areas)
    I have tried resetting the compass, but it does nothing, I have tried force quitting, and restarting the iPhone, still nothing, I have also reset all settings, still nothing.
    Has anyone heard of problems like these, or is it probably a faulty unit?
    Cheers.

    What about a full restore using "Set up as new iPhone" has that ben done yet...with the other steps you've already completed this would be the last step to try...also because the Genius Bar will just make you if you haven't yet already before they give a new phone to you...
    resetting network settings may fix the location issue...as well as toggling that setting a few times between on and off...
    the compass is usually only accurate outside for me and I don't use it often due to this fact...

  • I lost my ipod touch and it is connected to the internet but the location services are turned off anyway i could turn them on??

    Hi, I was wondering if anybody here knows how to turn on location services without the ipod in your hand it is connected through find my iphone and it says its online but location services are turned off if anybody here knows or think they know it would be greatly appreciated

    No.
    - If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - Report to police and change the passwords fro all accounts used on the iPod.
    - Apple will not help
