Turn off phone without turning off GPS?

I hope you can help with a query.
Is there any way I can turn off the phone on the iPhone 4 without also turning off the GPS? I'd like to be able to run with Runkeeper app on but without the distraction, battery drain and radiation of the phone. I understand that Flight Safe mode turns off the GPS chip so Runkeeper won't work. Is there a way round this?
All the best

You can turn off the 3G under settings->network. This will help with battery but still allow you retrieve stuff like texts and calls. Bunder the same thing is the option to cellular data but since the gps is a agps I don't know if it would work and if it did the gps would be nowhere as reliable as with data on.

When I try to open my iTunes on my iPhone 4S it shuts off right away. Ho do I fix this? I have already turned my phone on and off a bunch of times

Every time I try to open my iTunes app on my iphone 4 s it opens but then shuts down right away. I have already turned my phone on and off and did the reset thing by pushing the home and sleep button together and I hooked up my phone to my computers to update and none of these have worked. What works? Does anyone know? Thanks

Hi
I've got a similar problem. iTunes v10.2 worked fine, but when I tried to update it to 10.5 I got a 'Bonjour' error. I eventually solved that but I still couldn't upgrade to 10.5, so I deleted every single Apple, Quicktime, iTunes, etc file on my PC using Revo Unistaller (because the normal Windows Add/Delete programs wouldn't work) but now, when I install the latest iTunes version from scratch (on XP SP3), it says: "the installer encountered errors before it could be configured.... your system has not been modified"
Any ideas?

I updated my 4S phone to IOS 7.1.2 and lost my wi-fi. The wi-fi is on, but can't find ANY networks. I have been through all the steps, from turning the phone on and off, resetting the network settings, resetting the whole phone, redownloading 7.1.2 and lastly going to the Apple store for help. They tried all the exact same steps I did, took the phone apart and looked at and said it is in "pristine" condition. They have no idea why it isn't working, but they could offer to sell me another phone. This is extremely annoying! They claim it has nothing to do with the update to 7.1.2, but that is when I lost the wi-fi, so it has to be related!

My 4s i-phone which is 2 years old cannot find any wi-fi networks not even my home network... I had the same problem two months ago but i turned off the i-phone for 8 hours and then it was okay... Now it happened again.... I tried to restart the modem but whilst my laptop is connected regularly, my phone still cannot find any wi-fi networks... I restart the i-phone, i reset it, i chose reset network settings, reset all settings, i turned it off for a whole day in case it was overloaded, i turned on the airplane mode and turned it off again, i put it into the freezer for 10 minutes within a zipped bag but 3 days now and i still cannot be connected to my home wifi... I went to the technician today and he told me that it means that wi-fi is broken and that i need to change it with a charge of 70 euro but i have to give my phone for 10 working days so as to be fixed... I am so frustrated and i don't know if i want to give 70 euro for wifi since i don't know if it would make the same problems again...

"no service" happens once everyday, and when i restart my phone, signal goes back. So everyday, i turn my phone on and off to get my signal back..HELP!

It takes two to tango, maybe it's your recipient that has weak Internet/Cellular connections.

My iPhone 5 suddenly stopped opening the Apple Mail app. It had worked flawlessly for years, but just stopped. It worked on my iPad, and of course on the computer. What's going on, and how do I fix it? I've turned the phone on and off several times, soft reset several times. There was no change in any settings when this happened, nor any new apps were added. Thank you for any help you can give.

Does it not work either way? Sending and receiving? Did you check the settings and make sure that nothing has changed? If you can receive email, but not send it, check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.

Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up and now I can't restore the phone without "turning off the find my iphone setting"?

I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up (mistake) and now I can't restore the phone to start again without "turning off the find my iphone setting" but it's using an old email address as the icloud login, which i don't have a password to / never used for an icloud account. I have gone and changed my settings to a different email on my icloud / apple ID but on my phone it won't let me change the email address for icloud, it's greyed over and keeps trying to verify?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I Charged my phone with an iPad charger in Indonesia. The face of the phone is blank white. I cannot turn the phone on or off. What should I do?

I charged my iPhone with an iPad charger in Bali, indonesia with an adapter. The phone's screen is now blank white. I cannot turn the phone off or get anything to happen. What can I do?

Try resetting it: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

I lost my contacts. First it would not open Facebook or my iMessage . So I turn off phone and turned it back on. Then all contacts were gone. That is not cool. I don't want to sync . I also read on this forum iPhone is not a storage device .???

I Lost my contacts . I don't sync. Why should I have too? Very frustrating. I read on this forum iPhone was designed to work with computer. Then I guess this phone is not for me.
My fb and my iMessage would not open. So I turned of my phone and turned it back on. Bang ! They were gone. Funny how I never have problems with my itouch.

“the EU is considered one country for warranty purposes“
Not the case at all whilst there are harmonized minimum standards governing guarantees, warrantees remain national as these vary (Add to) minimum legal protection.

My power button stopped working all of a sudden now I can't turn my phone on or off, what should I do?

My power button all of a sudden got stuck and doesn't work, so I can't turn my phone on or off

No problem! FYI, if it's considered accidental damage or past the warranty time, you're looking at $199 USD. If it's within warranty time and not considered accidental damage by Apple, then it should be free.
Make sure to do a backup to iTunes or iCloud first, though, before you go, and make sure to schedule an appointment online at http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/us/en/techsupport/

Turning on Reminders without turning on Calendars

Hello,
Since Reminders was released, I have had them synced fine between my phone and computer. However, in the past week this is no longer happening. I'd like to turn on my reminders on both my iPhone and MacBook without turning on my iCloud calendar sync. However, it seems that on the iPhone end of things, I can choose to turn on just reminders, while on my computer they are lumped together in the same checkbox (see images.)
I would be okay with syncing them via my gmail, but again there is a discrepancy in the options I have. On my phone, no reminders option exists, but on my accounts tab on my laptop, there it is: reminder sync with gmail! I have also posted images of this.
I found out that if you turn on calendars AND reminders on both ends, then the reminders work. Which is not what I want.
So my question: how can I sync reminders with my computer from my phone, without having to sync my iCloud calendar? Note that i use google calendar exclusively, for work/personal use. I have NEVER used iCloud calendar, never had it synced, and my reminders have worked fine until now.
UPDATE: before, i could get reminders to work by turning reminders+calendars on and off on both devices in iCloud. now it doesn't work at all, no matter what!
iCloud:
Gmail:
I am using mountain lion 10.8.5 and iOS 8.1.2

I have just tried to update my iphone 4 to iso 6, it got almost all the way through then froze. the only screen i get now is with the itunes icon and picture of a usb cable end. I can turn it on and off but not reboot or do anything else. Further more the computor now does not recognise the phone being connected/disconnected. Help please!

Follow the troubleshooting steps shown in item #5 at the bottom of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538, under "If the device is not recognized while in recovery mode".

I turned my phone on and off after it froze and when it came back on many of my apps were gone including ones which come on the iPhone, how do I get everything back?

I've tried a hard shut down and charging it but nothing has fixed it. Please. Help.

1) Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...
