Time zone location services

On my iPhone 4 running iOS 6, the time does not adjust for the new time zone.
I am in Italy but my clock still shows California time. I have location services "on" in settings.
What's up?

Go to Settings -> General -> Date * Time
Turn Set Automatically to Off, and manually set your time zone. You can turn it back on after that.
This only works if the Set Automatically was previously set to "ON"

Calender events disappear time zone/location service problem

By accident I turned OFF the location service for the time zone (system services). Then I created a huge amount of annual events (repeating every year) birthdays etc in my calendar by hand. Yesterday I turned ON the location service for time zone and now all the annual events are gone.
I don't have the iPhone calendar synced at all. All my regular events, even the ones repeating every week, is still in the calendar and works properly. I guess the problem is because of the time zone location service, but I can't bring the events back whatever I do. Help needed!

Setting Time Zone location marker still lights up in iOS 5.0.1 . Does this happen to you?

I have updated my iphone 4 to ios 5.0.1 ota and when the phone boots up the time zone location icon lights up i know this because i checked it in location services system . So does this happen to you ?

Yes, I saw this happen as well a week after upgrading to iOS 5 it started showing up all the time. So I shut the phone down and rebooted and the problem went away.

How do I turn off ALL time zone, location support?

How do I turn off all location support in iCal. I travel a lot and I'm tired of iCal changing my appointments when I change time zones. I've missed two so far because of it.
TIA

Wrong Service time zone in Service rule: How to correct/modify it ?

I dont know why but even with all our hardware on timezone UTC+1 Paris, i'm having some of the EBS related generic services which were automaticaly setuped with wrong time zones (some UTC+0 and some UTC+2). I intended to correct it in the screen "Edit Service Level Rule" but the information is not updatable.
Is there someone who knows how and where is this information stored ? hw can i correct it ?
thanks in advance

Hi Hweeling,
You can remove the incorrect data from info-structure using transaction OLIX.
Then you can reload the data using transactions:
OLI7 : Sales Order
OLI8 : Delivery
OLI9 : Billing
Be very careful when you execute transaction OLIX, delete only the specific Sales Document data which you want to. Then also reload those specific Sales Document data.
Hope this helps ...if yes then pls reward liberally
Kind Regards

TS3920 iPad 1 w/ iOS 5 on Barcelona time zone location when Automatically Set Date/Time is turned on. How do I get all of my devices back to PST time?

After returning from an extended trip in Spain, my iPad 1 with iOS 5 retains the Barcelona location when "Automatically Set Date/Time". Most of my Apple devices are affected, how do I get all of my devices back to PST time? Thanks!

Turn off Automatically Set Date/Time and set your time zone.

Time zone purple arrow always active iOS 5.0.1

Is this happening for every one? The time zone location service is ALWAYS active in 5.0.1 in both my 4S and my iPad 2.

I'm also noticing this after the update. In 5.0 my iPad 1 had the purple arrow always on, no matter what, and my iPhone 4S was normal (arrow just once in a while, briefly). Now, after the update, both have the arrow on for really really really long periods of time. However, at least on the iPad, there's a difference: whereas before the update, this was clearly running down the battery quickly, after the update, it doesn't seem to be affecting the battery much. (I read for quite a while with the arrow on and battery at 99%, which would not have happened before, when I could practically watch it tick down without blinking)
On both devices, the arrow *does* eventually turn off, but it takes a long long time to decide to do so. (Maybe an hour, even) It's annoying that whereas the iPhone had been acting "normally" before the update and it was a big problem on the iPad, now both devices are stuck with this semi-problem. Fixing the broken one would have been better than half-fixing the broken one and half-breaking the OK one!

Time Zones on exadata located at different locations

We have a situation where our Oracle databases are going to be located at different geographical locations. ( platform: Oracle sun database machine, eXadata).
We have data loaded into these databases from all over the world too.
***Not sure what time zone we will set at each location, no idea, but thinking of GMT at each location.
-1-
Question is, how do we do that on ODM ?
-2-
Where do we need to apply this change ?
-3-
Storage Cell Level ? OR
-4-
Database Level on each Node ?
-5-
Do I need to worry about day light savings ?
-6-
What is the impact of 'GMT' timezone onto client session from different locations?

munno,
I don't think your question is specific to Database Machine or Exadata at all. The same questions arise any time there are two servers in different time zones that service the same application. The answers are specific to your application and database configuration. If you use the TIMESTAMP data types that include timezone, it shouldn't matter. Unfortunately, most customers aren't using these types. The data in the database shouldn't change based on where the database server is located IMO - the application should insert the data with whatever time it wants/needs.
Changing the time zone on storage cells requires you to run the ipconf utility. Changing the database server time zone is done just like any other Linux server - nothing special there and there are many good doc sources for that that any competent Linux administrator should be able to find if they don't already know.
Hope that directs you to the answers you need.

Location services in Mavericks with no WiFi?

I just installed Mavericks on my Mac Pro, and I want to use its location-aware features, like travel times in Calendar, etc. However, since it's a desktop, my computer is connected to the internet via ethernet, and has no WiFi hardware installed. So, it's telling me that it can't use Location Services. Is there any way to just tell the computer where it is, since it's not going anywhere, and have that be used for location features?

Resurrecting this thread as it's a question I'd quite like answered.
My Mac Pro has its time zone/location set in Date & Time System Prefs, but when using Maps, it cannot find its current location unless WiFi is on. So no consistency there then.
But is does raise the question of why WiFi is required. I don't actually know how Location Services work, but cannot see how WiFi is required. The WiFi network here (at home) simply connects to the wired ethernet backbone and hence to the Internet. Every WiFi device can alternatively be connected to via the wired network. What can WiFi possibly provide that the wired connection cannot?
I think it's just Apple being lazy and only implementing it (whatever IT is) over WiFi since it has most use in a mobile application. No real reason it cannot use the wired network, but they can't be bothered to include it since they saw no reason to on a fixed Mac. But they completely missed the fact that other stuff like their own Maps app requires this service in order to plan routes. So they really need to either update Location Services to be able to use the wired network or ensure that Maps (and similar) can use the machine's location as specified and Date & Time prefs. It is monumentally stupid that this situation exists.

S4 Chooses incorrect time zone when set to automatic

My S4, and my son's, are choosing the incorrect time zone when the phones are set to choose automatically.
The phones were working and my son noticed his was off earlier in the week and mine seems to have developed the same issue sometime last evening.
They are both choosing Central Time and should be choosing Mountain Time.
Location services are enabled on both (GPS & Verizon as well as Google Wi-Fi)
I've launched my phone in Safe Mode and the issue still occurs
On my son's we chose to set time zone manually which works, but it reset itself to automatic later and returned to being incorrect.
Thanks for any help.

On my phone I believe it was the day I posted here (April 14th) on his a couple days prior to that.
Both had 'fixed' themselves until his changed back a couple days ago
No new apps, latest update applied to both phones (after his was already showing incorrect time).
Also of note, 3 other S4's in the household that do not have the issue(...yet?)
As mine is currently working I don't suppose there's a need for me to run in safe mode, but I will pass the instructions on to him

Location Services won't let go . . . .

I have a Time Capsule as my base station (primary router) connected to a Comcast cable modem. I also have an Airport Express set up in another part of my house to stream music to my stereo.
I spend 3 months in Florida in the winter and I take my Airport Express with me and use it as my base station (primary router) connected to a Comcast cable modem while in Florida. I've been doing this for 3 years now and when I got home from Florida this year and set up my Airport Express to "Extend a wireless network" as I always have, I noticed a weird thing happening. Whenever I am in range of the AIrport Express with my iPad (which I bought while in Florida this year), the iPad's location services thinks I'm still in Florida. e.g. Google Maps, Flixter (finds movie theaters in you area), weather apps, etc. all snap to the Florida location. If I move the iPad into the range of the Time Capsule, location services correctly locates me in Massachusetts. Funny thing is, this only happens on the iPad. My wife and I both have MacBooks and when using Google Maps (show my location) for directions, they correctly locate us in Mass. no matter which router we are connected to.
It's like Location Services won't let go of the Florida location . . . . .
Is this an iPad issue or an Airport Express issue?

I, too, am intrigued by this entire situation. So much so that I keep doubting myself, so I've been checking and re-checking the iPad and our MBs by moving them from the room with the Time Capsule to the room with the Airport Express and then going to Google Maps on the MBs and a bunch of apps on the iPad and seeing where they think we are located. And so far, nothing has changed.
At first I thought (as you did) that MBs determine location using a different method than iPads. But, that doesn't explain why some apps on the iPad work and others don't?!?!?!?
Another thought I had was, when Apple updates their router location database, will my Airport Express's location update since I now have it set up to "Extend a wireless network"? My Time Capsule is set up as my base station (primary router) connected to a Comcast cable modem.

Location Services vs. Time Zone Settings

i am being given advice to turn OFF Settings > Date and Time > Time Zone Tab > "Set Time Zone Automatically using Current Location" - presumably so that when i travel all my events stay at the time that i set them to. for instance in the case of a return airline flight, so that the alerts will alert me at the correct time.
right now - i think - that if the Time Zone updates and i am traveling east (say from CST to EST) then the phone changes all my appointments in Calendar and they all show up an hour LATER than when i originally set them. this way i miss my flight.
however, i am not sure if there are consequences to this.
also, i can't tell if i should also change the Settings > Date and Time > Date and Time Tab > and UNCHECK "Set Date and Time Automatically".
also, i am getting uber confused between the settings on my phone as compared to those on my MBP or on Calendar. Location Services i think is a iPhone specific setting whereas Calendar > Preferences > Advanced > "Turn on TIme Zone Support"
anyone licked this so that it all works?

hi braden.
i have tried this "empirically" a couple of times by traveling to another time zone but i was basically testing to see if i can get this to work. the first time i did this i did not get the alert that i set because something had gotten adjusted and the time of my event that i had set had gotten "pushed back" - i think basically due to the time change between CST and EST. this is a problem since when i travel it is helpful to have the alerts on my phone. right now i am having a hard time figuring out why it would not be the case - given the explanation in your tech articles - that this won't happen again if these settings are on. conversely, if i turn oen or both of them OFF - it is not clear to me what the consequences are.
there is such as thing as a "floating" event which is supposed to (i think) alert at any time zone at the time that you SET the event - so that it does not ADJUST based upon your traveling to a new time zone. however, there appears to be a lot of confusion as to whether this works and/or to what extent it has limitations.
for instance, is this a viable way to get calendar to work across time zones? i mean, the articles you helpfully post don't seem to address how this works from a practical perspective.
here are my settings.
MBP:
Settings > Date and Time > Date and Time Tab > Set Date and Time Automatically (currently set to ON)
Settings > Date and Time > Time Zone > Set Time Zone Automatically Using Current Location (currently set to ON)
Calendar > Preferences > Advanced > Turn on Time Zone Support (currently CHECKED)
iPhone
Settings > General > Date and Time > Set Automatically (currently set to ON with “Time Zone” showing as Chicago)
Settings > Mail, Contacts > Calendars > Time Zone Support (currently set to Houston)
Settings > Mail, Contacts > Calendars > Time Zone Support > Time Zone Support Slider (currently set to ON)
1. do i need to do anything special when setting an EVENT while i am in CST (for instance) but the event is going to happen while i am in EST? i mean, can i just set the event with these settings and leave it as CST?
2. do i need to MANUALLY adjust my iPhone and MBP - once i arrive in EST - to show up as CST in order to get the alert to go off at the correct time?
3. do i need to MANUALLY pull down an event to "FLOATING" any time this event will happen outside the time zone i am in?
4. are there any limitations to using a FLOATING event? i know one cannot set a floating event from the iPhone but if this works and this is the only limitation i can do this method.
5. i have heard some people resolve this issue by MANUALLY setting their time zone for their "home time zone" and they TURN OFF time zone support on all their devices so that the events happen at the correct time with no time zone adjustment. does anyone know if this method works? does anyone know if there are complications to such a move - for instance if i was to work in another continent for a period of time it seems like you would have to change your time zone and this would affect all previously entered events. but also i cannot figure out if doing this will let the TIME on my MBP and my iPhone read correctly since this is very important to me.
sorry to be posting on this but this is very difficult to test and threads such as there indicate there is a lot of ongoing confusion about this.

any thoughts? or perhaps there is someone that has travelled recently and has this down to a science?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

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.

Why is the location services arrow constantly on for setting time zone on iOS 5.1?

I have updated to iOS 5.1 OTA (Over The Air, not by connecting to iTunes and updating) on my iPhone 4S and the purple location services arrow is constantly on in the status bar when setting time zone and automatic update of date and time are turned on simultaneously. I had this problem prior to the update, but I understand that not everyone has this issue as my friend has these two settings on and doesn't have the problem. I have tried restoring and all that (obviously), but not restoring and setting up as new.
Somebody please help because it's an obvious fault in the system if nothing else. I have heard somebody else complain about this and the had a 32 GB 4S the same as me. I don't really see why memory should matter but my friend who doesn't have the problem has a 16GB 4S.
Also, I am not in an area that is between time zones when this is happening.

If it is turned on I can't be sure if anything else is using my location (at a glance) since the arrow is constantly showing. I am aware that this function will use battery power, maybe constantly, but the arrow shouldn't be constantly showing. If it should, then why doesn't my friends iPhone show it? Either way there is a problem here.

IPhone 4s Battery life, Location Services, Setting Time Zone

So, many threads and articles on the internet are claiming that turning off "setting time zone" in location services (under system services) solves their battery drainage issue.
I've tried turning off location services together with other things, and while there seems to be an improvement, I don't really think it is solving the problem completely in my case. For example, even after:
- a full iphone restore from iTunes
- no third party apps
- the phone in Airplane mode (no Wifi or cellular connectivity)
- all location services off
- iCloud syncing completely off
   - Facetime off
   - iMessage off
   - bluetooth off
    - WITHOUT using the phone at all
... I seem to be lsoing about 25 % of charge every nine hours, which extrapolates to 36 hours time, total.
... but this is with ll networking functions turned completely off (set up basically as an old-time PDA but without actually using it) and without turning the phone on.
Apple claims a time of 200 hours standby with all services on, connected to a WiFi access point with only "ask to join networks" set to the off position.
How is that possible?
Looking at my phone usage under General settings, even with all the networking functions turned completely off (as above), my phone is spending about 90 % of time "in use." But I'm not using it!
At least with this phone, it seems like not all is explained by the "setting time zone" service under location services. Even with the screen off, no networking functions, and limited functionality, it appears to be cranking away at something.
Can anyone else reproduce this?

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.
