Will an iPhone automatically turn off location services.  If it goes below a certain battery power level, and so how you disable this in settings.

I am working with Georgia DOT and we have created an app to track our state vehicles using IPhone 5. My question is: will an iPhone automatically turn off location services?  If it goes below a certain battery power level, and if so how do you disable this in settings.

I don't believe that this will happen, however, the entire iPhone will shut down when the iPhone reaches the auto-shutdown power level. There is no way to turn that Off other that connecting the iPhone to power.

  • How do I turn off location services on the iPhone 6?

    How do I turn off location services on the iPhone 6?
    Yes I already went to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, is not allowing me to turn it off.
    And yes I have disable the restrictions too.

    When I tapped the screen, there was a symbol on the left that looked like arrows going in a circle and on the right were the arrows crossed. The crossed arrows were orange, when I tapped this orange symbol, it turned to white and the songs STOPPED shuffle.

  • Can't turn off location services on IPhone 4s.

    Settings -> Location Services (Always ON) -> can't turn ON / OFF. It's disabled. I can't even turn ON / OFF location services for apps down below. They are all Off by default. Verified with colleague and it's working on his iphone 4s. Can't find solution anywhere on web.

    Settings>General>Restrictions...are yours on? Allow Changes>Location>On/Off.

  • After turning off Location Services, Safari keeps saying to turn back on

    I turn off "Location Services" often to save battery power, and at night I often turn on "Airplane Mode", (which I must say is most convenient to turn all radios, (GPS, Bluetooth, Phone, Wifi, Push), at once. However, Safari continues to often send a pop up saying, "turn on location services to allow "safari" to determine your location". Not only is this pop up annoying, but I often listen to several of the rainmaker apps as I fall asleep and this notification continously shuts down my rainmaker app. I have tried to find a way to stop Safari from doing this but am getting no where. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a way to stop Safari from sending repeated prompts? This has always happened but is happening more so since using Google Latitude, which I do have completely turned off and signed out of. Thanks

    Cannot see why Safari is bugging you. 1) it is closed thus shouldn't be needing anything since apps don't run in the background. 2) Safari shouldn't ask for your location (unless specific page is asking).
    I'd say reboot as it sounds like something is stuck in memory.
    A reset/reboot is:
    Go to Home Screen
    Press and Hold Home Button
    Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
    Keep holding Both
    You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
    The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
    Keep Holding
    When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.

  • HT1975 Why can't I turn off location services?  Restrictions are disabled.  The on off slidebar is grayed out.  I'm concerned my phone is being tracked.

    While I know there are phones that can do this, they really are not powered "off" - they are more in a hybernation state.  However, the iPhone has never worked that way.  Off on an iPhone means truly powered off - nothing is still running so there is no minimal function left ticking away to wake up the phone and sound the alarm.

  • HT5467 Can't turn off Location Services

    I want to turn off location services but all the on/off buttons are greyed out.  Why is this?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Why is there no control to turn off location services?  I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.0.1.  I now have no control over location services.  Will it always be on and only activate if an application requires it?

    Currently Being Moderated  Re: iPhone 4 / iOS 4 - Location Services Always On

    so i actually ended up walking into genius bar today. they couldn't figure out which program was causing the glitch either, but the way they solved it was by resetting all the location service permissions altogether. for those of you who want to know how to do this, navigate to "settings > general > reset > reset location warnings". also fyi, the apple service rep told me the purple location service icon next to each app simply signifies that particular app has requested your location within the past 24 hours, not necessarily that the app is active. hope this helps those with the same problem as i had.  iPhone 4, iOS 4
    I will mention that I did not have the problem until I downloaded the new googlemaps, which I have deleted off my iphone.

  • Trying to turn on location services for running app, but all app names greyed out and won't change?

    Hi all
    Would really appreciate a hand. I'm wanting to track my running using an app which uses GPS to follow my route. The app told me I needed to turn on location services for that app through settings > general > location settings. I can see the names of all the apps there (some set to on, some set to off) going through the privacy menu but everything is greyed out. How do I turn it on?
    Thanks in advance

    yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
    With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
    open itunes on my computer
    click on my device on the left
    go to the device summary
    click restore
    it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
    then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
    then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
    Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

    Hi Bankposh,
    That option should be in Settings > Privacy. If you are not seeing refer to the article below from more information. Let me know if this helps or if you need anything.

    Basics from the User's Guide are reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Switching off location services disables cell service?

    Is this right? If I switch off location services, I cannot send or receive cell phone calls. Basically switching off location services is the equivalent of putting my phone in airplane mode?
    I'm using an iPhone 5 with the current iOS.
    Thanks.

    No, it's not right. Turning off location services should not be the same thing as putting the device in Airplane mode. Airplane mode turns off all of the radios (wifi, cellular, BT and GPS). Turning off location services doesn't disable cellular or, rather, it shouldn't in a properly working phone. I'd start with the standard troubleshooting steps.
    Best of luck.

  • How do you turn on location services for the Photos app?

    I reset my location services and I need to reactivate the location services for those apps I want to use this function.  I have turned on location services for all other apps, including CAMERA, but I cannot figure out how to turn it back on for PHOTOS (Camera Roll).  This option did appear when I did the new iPhone5 setup, but I cannot get it back.  And PHOTOS is not listed in the apps shown under the Location Services setting page.  I set my wife's phone up too and the PHOTOS app is showing on her phones Location Services setting page.  Help please.

    Hi There
    I had the same problem and actually I found out that in Location Services you need to Turn On the option for CAMERA, as there is no photos icon.
    Cheers
