Issue with IPhone 6 location Services - showed me 60 miles from where I was!

On 26 September this year, I left my home to go to work security at an event. Left after 08:00 and pulled into the parking lot of the expo center where he stood right at 830. Spent the whole day there to walk, talking to sellers, etc.. My wife is using find my Iphone app to locate my teenage son who was late home. We were all sharing connection of an Apple (we all have separate apple ID now), and my phone shows me about 60 miles away at 16:50. My position then showed about 5 miles from where I was working before bouncing to the wrong address about 60 miles away. She ping my phone by finding my phone shortly after and it shows me about a mile away before finally arriving at my real place. Looked at my phone when I got home. I checked my phone via the settings > privacy > Location Services > System Services > common places and he showed me the wrong place from 0800 to 1730. I was inside all the time in a building that is known for bad cell service. Building is also equipped with a wi - fi connection. Many sellers did business on their phones and possible hot spots. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what might have caused it. The phone seems to show the correct location after that.

Thank you

If the event was inside, the phone couldn't use the GPS (or cell phone because of the wrong signal towers) and was locate via Wi - Fi, of the building or the sellers.  If Wi - Fi the building wasn't in the Apple database, because it has not taken over by iPhones outside the building that uses the GPS and location sent to Apple, your phone would be stuck with WiFi from the vendor for the location.  He could end up with last recoded location of seller.

  • Location Services does not-Macbook Pro and iPad 2

    I read through many questions is similar with location services. I recently moved from Shenyang in the northeast of China in Beihai in the South. The MacbookPro or my iPad can find my position. Before moving here, the two pieces of material worked well in Shenyang.

    The WiFi router I use is new (TP-Link TL-WR886N) and issued by the local network provider. There have been is several posts suggesting that some routers cannot pass on location data - possible to determine in the configuration of the router?

    I've been in System Preferences and China as my area with the "checkmark" automatic time zone setting zone will display the message "cannot determine the current location at this time." Location icon is not displayed in the menu bar. If I 'look' in location services watch poster cards tried to use location services.

    I have a Huawei smartphone with a version of the load maps and it works perfectly, to the extent of showing that my location is concerned; the downside is that the cards are in Chinese only, something with that I am fighting to familiarize themselves.

    Would it be possible to use the Huawei (Android) phone as a mobile hotspot that my IPad maps app could use? I had then matched but so far ' cards, does not pick up location data.

    Location services (including the automatic selection of the zone maps and 'Find my Mac') is based on a database of known locations with Wi - Fi access points. You do not have to be connected to a wireless network, but WiFi must be active and to reach one of these access points. Otherwise the machine will not located at all, or location will be wrong. Sometimes the location will be incorrect because the database contains incorrect data. What happens, for example, if you moved from one place to another and taken your Wi - Fi router with you. The router is still listed in the database, but in the old location.

    According to reports, if you connect to a Wi - Fi network with an iPhone, the location of the network will be sent to Apple and added to the database after a period of time. An iPhone, unlike other Apple devices, has built-in GPS satellite navigation and therefore can locate itself regardless of Wi - Fi. The phone will be charged to share diagnostic and information about using with Apple.

  • Problem with location Services

    MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012)

    OS X Version of El Capitan 10.11.4 (15E65)

    Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7

    Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

    When I go to the Maps app and click on the current location, I get the message "cards cannot locate current position." Also when I drag the local weather on the notification bar is not find local weather conditions.

    I have ensured that allow location Services is checked under Security & Privacy Preferences. I signed on iCloud and unchecked localization services enable and rechecked it.

    The only time wherever I can run is if I go to the activity monitor and force them to leave the following processes

    com Apple.GEOD (923)

    via (919)

    This will usually get the time to work and show the current location, but it doesn't work sometimes in the cards.

    I provided the date and time is correct and it is synchronized with the site time.apple.com

    When I go to the time zone in the Date and time it shows the city closest to me marked with a blue dot, and if I go over it it says "unable to determine the current location at this time.

    I had this problem since upgrade to Yosemite to El Capitan.

    I would also like to add that, in my house, I have an iPhone more 6s, two iPhone 5s, an iPad (Wi - Fi only) Air and two iPad 2 air (Wi - Fi only) who have no problems with location services.

    I have this problem too, but in my case if I returned to Yosemite the problem is solve, there must be something in El Capitan.

  • IPhone hacked, how to deepen the control of location services?

    So my router, mac and iphone got hacked, more than likely by the FBI.  They were investigating a person in my building, but it has proved to be a dead end.  Apparently, they decided to illegally monitor me.  My location service is initially resembled the image as an attachment, with the error message of the filling.  Now, I can't even access the tab "Location services" because it is faded and I can't draw in this.  I would like to get information from my phone to apple because I am sure that my phone has been violated by an iMessage randomly that I received.  Any ideas on how I can have apple examine how he missed their OS 9.3 on my phone?  The other problem is that I'm in Puerto Rico, where there is no apple on the island store and I won't be back on the Mainland for some time.

    I also sent the screenshot of iMessage in question to the [email protected] but did not receive an automatic reply, so I don't know if apple never received.  In any case, to check if it has been received?

    Unless you have jailbroken your iPhone, it could not have been hacked away. There is no way to "violate" an iPhone via a random iMessage. If iMessage takes you to a link that asks you if you want to install a profile and press 'Ok', there are a limited number of things that anyone could join. To check this, go to settings > general > device management and delete everything that you are not familiar with.

  • Cannot turn off the location Services on the new iPhone

    For some reason, there is no way to disable the location Services on new iPhone 6 s daughter. We have switched/updated sound from an old iPhone 5, but were sure disable settings find my phone/Find My Friends. In addition, iPhone 5 has been wiped clean. However, location Services are unable to be activated off the coast on the new iPhone... the toggle switch is "grayed out". Even in circles iCloud, even in the General settings.

    The idea was to find it on my friends for the new phone, but this is not possible, since it states that this service is managed by the iPhone 5... is no longer active. No matter what I try (reboot, reset location/privacy settings, turn off all network connections), I am unable to adapt localization Services (On / Off) and subsequently, the share location parameter.

    3 other phones that we have obtained (6s as well) do not present the issues and working properly, including the activation of location Services button.

    Hi, pairof9s.

    Please visit Apple support communities.

    I understand that you can't change the setting of location Services on iPhone again your daughter 6 s.  It looks like may have restored the old iPhone backup and restrictions are activate that prevent changes to certain characteristics.  You can check by going to settings > general > Restrictions and see if they are enabled.  You can then temporarily disable restrictions you can change this setting.  Take a look at the article below for more information.

    On Restrictions (parental control) on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    In regards not being not able to find my friends, you need to maybe just remove the iPhone 5 find it my iPhone via iCloud.com service.  Take a look at the article below for instructions on how to remove the device.

  • Install location Services stopped with fresh 10.11.4

    I performed a clean installation of 10.11.4 to find that location Services are no longer available (maps, weather, System Services). I have enabled "enable location services" walking several times in an attempt to activate the service, but still no joy. In the zone Panel, select 'Set the time zone automatically using current place of residence' immediately Gets an "impossible to determine the current location at this time" error.

    My other computers running 10.11.4 (they were auto-updated to 10.11.3, and not a new installation of 10.11.4) don't have this problem and still have access to location-based Services.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution?

  • My location service does not work properly

    I have always used location-based services on my iPhone 6. But lately, I've noticed that it doesn't give me my exact position, which is annoying, because I always use for maps when I visit a big city, but it's showing that I'm somewhere else which means I'll be in the same place, but he's going to say I'm about 4,000 feet from where I am, why is my iPhone 6 this?

  • Cards and rental issues with iOS 9.3.1

    So, it seems that some iPhones have been affected by the latest 9.3.1 update when using maps and location services.

    Since my update to 9.3.1 new iOS, both of my APPS of the map no longer work.

    I went to the Verizon store and they said they had 6 other customers with the same question this week come in the store, but could not help or has a solution. They said it was a problem with the new ios

    Okay, I'll be happy to take a look with you. What seems to happen?

    Well when I enter an address in MAPS or GOOGLE MAPS at random falls a PIN for my site no where close to where I really am.

    He will say that the destination is, and then all the c apps is they state "loading".

    then the cards just freeze and there is no gps in real time or the point "you are here" never moves...

    OK, so the location is never load and if so it is not updated to become precise?

    fix

    and even when I tap on the arrow to refocus or start again the directions... just it freezes or trying to load...

    and then will never give real guidance... because my original location on maps... is leagues where I'm really... or let me down in the middle of a wooded area, etc.

    Ok thank you. I know how it is important for maps working properly! I'd be keen to have fixed too.

    I completely deleted the Google maps app and reinstalled it... with no fix... same issues

    It is a problem that we've seen happen from time to time after this update. In some cases a full restore to the factory settings and then restore a backup to the phone set. Otherwise it will be a bug problem which is released with the 9.3.2 update which should hopefully will come out soon.

    also, I backed up my phone and deleted everything with a factory reset...

    always had problems even after

    even after reset and reload the iOS again... nothing works

    OK, so it seems that yours will be the one who will have to wait for the 9.3.2 update with bug fixes for the location and accuracy.

    Therefore, it does not mater if I buy another maps application? still underway to have the same problems with the gps and location?

    You can certainly try each of them have different compatibility requirements, but we found that most of these cases concern the location services on the phone itself.

    and I can't get rid of the 9.3.1 iOS version? and go back to the old version?

    If you had a backup of an earlier version, you can restore and then use the backup of the old. Just, you lose everything that you have current data.

    Hmmm... is in fact phone... like three of my friends who have an iPhone 5, iPhone 5 c and the iPhone 6 have no problem...? ! ? ! Just me...

    It is not with all phones. It has been an intermittent case so far. There is no rhyme or reason as to why some phones have had problems with the location after the update.

    Hmmm

    If no solution... and simply live with it until a new iOS comes out, and who knows how long it will be...

    I know that the update is being developed because it contains bug fixes for a few different issues. However, I'm sorry I don't have an exact date.

    Just a question - when you deleted everything for a factory restore - did restore like NEW or from a backup?

  • Reminders in the absence of list of location Services

    I try to activate reminders of location based in ios10 on my iphone 6s, but when I go into settings-> privacy-> location enabling services I don't see recalls on the list of applications.  Location service is activated and I changed my sync reminder to iCloud only (rather than Exchange), but it is yet to appear.

    When I go into settings-> privacy-> reminders, all I see is gray text saying "The apps that have requested access to your reminders will appear here."  No other option.

    Someone has ideas of how I can receive reminders to appear on my list of location-based services application so I can enable location based reminders?  Thank you!

    Hello kevdoog,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding reminders is no longer an option of location service after update to iOS 10. I often use the location based reminders, I can certainly understand your concern. I'm happy to help you to get this resolved with you.

    First of all, I recommend you reboot the phone. This can solve many unexpected behaviours. Follow the steps below to restart.

    1. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off your device completely off.
    3. Once the device turns off, press and hold the sleep/wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    If the problem persists, reset location Services by going to settings > general > reset > reset card and privacy. Once this is done apps will be stop using your location until approval is granted.

    Have an amazing day!

  • IOS10 location services

    Since the upgrade to iOS 10, Safari gives me an error of position "unavailable" when I navigate to sites that use this feature.  Location service is enabled for Safari and I don't have this problem with other applications.  Is this a known issue?

    Location service now seems to require an HTTPS (SSL/TSL) connection, regardless of the browser and the browser settings.
