My location on my 4s is completely out, it says I'm about 30 miles away from where I actually am. It does this 90% of the time! And I'm not sure what I can do to fix it. My iPad 2 and other family members iPhone 4 on the same wifi etc. doesn't have any prOblems with this.
iPhone 4S, iOS 5
Get off your high horse.
Yes I read the comments, yes I try the suggestions, no it still doesn't work. You don't have the answer, WHEN will it be fixed by Apple is the obvious question, and I will whinge as much as I like.
As I said earlier, I will ALSO be talking with Apple today and will ALSO post my results.
Well said 🙂
These are the questions :) Bad 3G signal in conjunction with Russian GPS system? I'm of course just guessing based on what everyone here is saying.
if your problem is the same as ours, then what i told you earlier works (for a limited time though). and the cause IS the one i just told you. i've replicated it on several phones (4s).
Agreed. But you have to agree that limited time isn't good enough right? These are short term solutions until you need to use say Maps. I also want to know the WHY :)
i didn't say they're fixes, i only told you WHY this is happening 🙂
new ios 501 its available tonnight you have to make restore because they change only the build now its 9A406
I spoke to an Apple Tech Help person today. He sounded very puzzled and put me through to a senior technician called Margaret Lombard. She said that she had 3 other calls the same today and she took a lot of details about the problem, my iPhone, what I had tried and the computer I use (New Core i7 MacBook Pro). She escalated the case and said that technicians will now look at it. She said that Apple have issued an alert to their technical help staff that this is a problem and that the engineers are working on a fix.
I'm annoyed at having to wait but glad that they have acknowledged the problem and are working on it.
good news🙂
Hey guys !
I had the same problem ! I live in France and since two days my Iphone 4S checked me at Zhengzhou in China ! I went in an Apple store today and the seller told me that he had the same problem with his own Iphone (in Russia^^).
I try a lot of things, and I think that I fixed the problem (I am currently in France^^).
I don't know the right name for you because mine is in french but:
-Go to "settings"
-"General"
-"Reset" at the bottom
and chosse "reset network settings"
For me it is good !
Hope I could help you
True, but I was meaning the big why - does it have anything to do with the Russian gps system or is that completely coincidental? Will we actually ever know? That kind of thing.
Great news. Finally we're getting some action 🙂
it'll only work for a while, then you're gonna get back to china 🙂
i don't think it's glonass related... the iphone can't just figure out where it is in the absence of gps and/or 3G... meaning it can't use edge for triangulation. only wifi, AFTER you restart location in settings
Tried this but I'm afraid it didn't work for me, still in turkey!
iPhone 4s location wrong... Why?
