Siri-location services always on please help!!

On my iPhone 4s Siri has been on with location services enabled since I got it. Out of the blue the purple arrow next to my battery bar apeared and will not go away this means my phone is actively using location services which drains my battery faster . In settings it says Siri is the only thing actively using location services. How can I use location services without having the purple arrow constantly being there and only being there when I use Siri for something that requires location services

Ok that was a no go. But I previously had an issue where Siri couldn't connect to the network. On another forum I found the fix which was to:
1. Turn Off Siri - Location Services (Settings > Location Services > Siri > Off
2. Reboot the phone
3. Turn On Siri - Location Services
I did that just now and Siri has not used LS once. Then again, I haven't tried the, "How do I get home" command with Siri yet. It's a quick fix...for now.

Location services always on issue

Why is location services on when all my apps are closed?
I have "frequent locations" turned off.
I noticed that all of a sudden the location icon was on when all my apps were closed. I went through my apps turning off location services individually trying to find the culprit. At first it was Siri because as I went through the location icon went away when I turned Siri's off. I searched for some solutions in the Apple forum and found that I needed to turn location services off, reboot phone, and turn services back on. Well when my phone turned back on the locations icon was back! So I went through the rest of my my apps and moved on to "system services." As I turned off "traffic" the icon went away again. I'm wondering why all of a sudden the location icon is on with traffic and Siri when they were closed? These are settings that I didn't recently change. Siri and traffic have had location services on for as long as I can remember but are all of a sudden running location services in the background. Is this a known bug? What can I do to fix this?
I have used Siri a few times over the past couple days and this is the first time I noticed that the icon was on. Same with traffic, I used maps 2 days ago but the location icon hasn't been on until now and NO APPS WERE OPEN OR HIBERNATING! I've known location services to run my battery down so I would love some help on how to fix this issue. Thanks.

Try going to Settings > Privacy then tap Location Services - then try to off one by one, then u can findout which app is using the location service even in offline mode,
my case "Tango" using Location Service always even it is in offline mode.

Next item not working in siri location services

When using Siri location services to find for example "I feel like chinese food tonight" siri responds with a list of restaurants and asks if you want to call the first one on the list or go to the next one. If you say "next" or "go to next one" siri does nothing it does not progress to the next item on the list. We've just got siri location services here in canada. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong.
Thanks in Advance for any help!

This is no longer an issue. Sometime between friday and saturday something has changed at the server end for siri. There is no longer a prompt to dial number or go to next

There is no chance at all that you can activate the iPad without the previous user's Apple ID and password. That is the feature of iOS 7 Activation Lock.
Every time I read one of these post, I can't help but think that the user asking about this (in this case - you) was duped into purchasing a stolen device. If the seller was legit, they would have erased the device completely before they sold it.

Hi JimHdk,
I have also upgraded to ios6.1.3, and facing same wifi connecting problem, after upgrade my iphone3gs is not connecting to my laptop shared wifi, which was working perfect with ios6.1.2,
and its not an hardware error, its software error, crippy apple does not test their releases which causes problem to users.
Updates:
Earlier wifi connection which i was using on my Iphone 3gs, was WPA2, which was shared from my laptop via "Microsoft virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter", was working perfectly till ios6.1.2, but when i have upgraded my iphone 3gs to ios6.1.3, my iphone 3gs became unable to join wifi,
Today I have created "adhoc network" on my laptop using "Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n"(default wifi adapter of my laptop), and kept security type "WEP", and found my wifi working fine with my iphone 3gs,
So if someone using LAN internet on their laptop, they can share their LAN internet to use on their ios devices, via creating an 'adhoc network',
How to create an 'Adhoc Network',
choose Security Type : WEP (compatible with ios6.1.3)

Take it to an authorized service center or Apple Store in the country where the phone originated. Apple does not sell iPhones in Pakistan, nor will they ship them to Pakistan.

Location Services Always on in 7.1?

Does anyone else notice that the little 'Location Services' arrow at the tope of the screen is always on after they updated to OS 7.1? Does this mean more battery life will be drained?
I have tried closing all of my open apps and re-starting the phone but it is still on.

Try going to Settings > Privacy then tap Location Services - then try to off one by one, then u can findout which app is using the location service even in offline mode,
my case "Tango" using Location Service always even it is in offline mode.

HT5467 Hi am unable to locate the SIM Tray please help me

Hi am unable to locate the SIM Tray please help me

SIM of an iPad is located about 2 inches from the bottom at portrait view (not landscape view) on the same side of the volume button.
Use a needle to poke into the tiny hole of the SIM tray. With one swift pull, you should be able to eject the SIM tray. It could fly off if you pull too hard. So be careful of your strength of pulling.

Siri location services overenthusiasm?

I don't want to disable location services for Siri, but Siri keeps using it long after I've gotten what I wanted. Is there a setting I can change or something I can do to make it relax but not actually turn it off? If Siri were a real person I'd say, okay thank you--I'll call you when I need you again. But I definitely don't want to enable/disable all the time just to save some battery life.
Thanks.

Ok that was a no go. But I previously had an issue where Siri couldn't connect to the network. On another forum I found the fix which was to:
1. Turn Off Siri - Location Services (Settings > Location Services > Siri > Off

Location services Always on or when in use?

I have an iPhone 5S running OS 8.3.1
Trying to learn as much about using Siri and the services as I can to be able to maximize my use. What I ultimately want to know is. How does Siri know where I am if the location service is set to, "when in use" for maps, and for find my friends, instead of always?
This came about when setting reminders up for, "remind me when I leave home to take out dog." for instance, or "remind me when I get to Hy-Vee to get Dr. Pepper". If the map is not always on, how does Siri know where I am? Is this going to fail? or not work? Do I need to leave the map on all the time?
Thanks

Location services gives the current location to the app that requests it.
The process looks like this... independently of the map.
Siri launches and requests location, GPS chip processes location data from the cell tower and wifi networks.

Siri location services

Does anyone know when Siri will be able to find local businesses and complete other functions using location services for where you are actually located?
I am an Aussie living in the USA. Siri does not understand me when set to English US but when set to English Australian I get search results from Google.au. Siri, also, will not help me out with local searches for businesses. It should be able to understand different dialects and still bring back search results for a persons local......should it not? This is an essential feature for people like myself or just a tourist trying to find somewhere to eat while on holiday.
Cheers
Justin

I already restarted my device but it still can't find my current location. I'm using Wi-Fi only iPad

Why are my location services always on

I have an issue with my location services in ios5 with my Iphone 4.
There is a purple arrow always on for the Seeting Time Zone option (even when in airplane mode).
It seems to affect the battery even with the recent upgrade.
If I turn this option off, then over night my clock is set one hour later than the correct time.
Please let me know if any of you have similar issues, and if you have any solutions!
Thanks.

Yes but then as I stated, my clock goes off by at least one hour (usually in the middle of the night leaving me to depend on an old alarm clock). To fix this, I then would have to do a manual set up for the date and time, and then it really starts to feel like a dumb phone rather than a smart phone. Surely, this is a bug that needs to be addressed?

My location service suddenly stopped working, Help !!!

Hi, suddenly my location service of my ipad3 stopped working. It was working good but now the location service in settings appears on a grey color and I can't manage the apps. Please help!

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPad.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

I can't see the Reporting Workspace in Service Manager Console PLEASE HELP

I can't see the Reporting Workspace in Service Manager Console PLEASE HELP

Hello,
If you don't have an entry like "SQL Server Reporting Services (InstanceName)" in Windows Service Manager (Services.msc) then because SSRS service not installed on that machine. Install it, then you will see such an entry.
Olaf Helper
This is not an SQL issue it's a SC Service Manager issue. Reporting Services is installed and running on the SQL side. The problem is that as I am now aware I cannot get the Data Warehouse Server to register in the Service Manager consoles to connect that
with the canned reports and turn on Reporting Workspace. Any thoughts?

Location Services always ON with Auto Date/Time/Timezone ON

iOS5 lets you see the Location Services (LS) indicator in the Status Bar when system services are using LS in addition to when apps are using LS. I turned this ON (Settings > Location Services > System Services > Status Bar Icon) and immediately saw that "Setting Time Zone" was using LS.
I went into Settings > General > Date & Time and saw that "Set Automatically" was ON. As soon as I turned it OFF the LS indicator disappeared.
Does this mean that LS is always ON when you've got auto Date & Time on? It looks like that to me...
Anyone else seeing this? I wonder whether this is an iOS5 bug or whether it's always behaved like this?
Thanks
Tim

Hi All,
I checked my friend's IPHONE 4S. Date & Time->Set Automatically is set to ON and in Location Services-> Setting Time Zone is set to On but it does not use GPS regularly but my Phone does I have tried everything Setup as new, erase all setting, reset all settings, reset network settings and restore from BACKUP. My Problem is persitent. The Only difference I notice in my mobile and friend's mobile is that he bought from Saudi Arabia and I bought from Australia (though it has been swaped by genious bar). He is using Telstra and I am using Vodafone. both has 9A406.
Hard to figure out what is this?
Thanks
