Dropbox has a feature where it uploads pictures or something similar
based on your location. This is why.

After reading your message, I went in to settings, general, background

me is dropbox. When I turned Dropbox off, location services
disappeared from my status bar.

Good Afternoon All,
I just wanted to let you know that this location services "bug" of
staying on constantly doesn't just effect us VoiceOver users. In
fact, It hadn't affected me (a VO user) but did affect my fiance
who's not a VO user.
I first went to Privacy> Location services (I turned on VO to do this
BTW)
I noticed that not only was FourSquare on, but it said it was
currently using his current location despite the fact it wasn't in
his app switcher. So I turned off the phone and back on and location
services was still in the status line.
I did a hard boot, holding the power button & the home button to no
avail.
So I googled location services constantly running and found the
following forum
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5984935
There it told me to go to the following:
You can either turn off background refresh of GPS altogether or turn
off the individual apps that use GPS all the time like google maps,
Foursquare, or Facebook. They will still be able to use GPS when you
open them, but will not keep the GPS running in the background when
the app is closed.
For some reason, after I updated to 7.1, this was activated and had
all the apps updating in the background even when they were closed.
Now I have no problems. GPS and location services only open when I
open the associated app.
This seems to fix it, I turned off FourSquare as directed above and
suddenly the location services icon only shows up when FourSquare is
launched as it does on my phone, but when FS is taken out of the app
switcher the location Services goes off in the status line.
Both my fiance and I have iPhone 5s and are both running iOS 7.1.
I hope this helps someone out there.

No, any app that is running in the foreground which needs location
services, automatically turns on GPS. This just keeps apps from
monitoring when they are not open in the foreground.

But if you do this, won't that render any app that needs location

Subject: Re: Battery draining
The only way I am able to get location services to disappear from
the status bar is to completely disable background app refresh. I
attempted it again last night with the same result after a reboot
and a warm reset.
Go to settings, general, background app refresh.
Again, this appears to only affect VO users, so expect it to take
more time before the error is resolved. Apple only rushes fixes for
critical situations that affect significant numbers of users, and
VO users are less than 1% of the user base. Every email to
[email protected]
helps because more emails about the same issue means they know more
people have the problem, so they will increase the resources
directed toward fixing the problem.
As for those who complain that Apple should fix it now, please
remember back to the wonderful days of the extremely expensive
specialised note-taker. It usually took the manufacturer between
six months and a year between updates, and we always had to live
with the problem until then, if the problem was even fixed. Oh, and
let's not forget, some devices could not be upgraded without
sending them back to the manufacturer. Finally, the annual upgrade
fee was usually rather significant.

Hi David,
The battery draining problem is getting worse, so yesterday
evening before going out I charged the phone as much as I could
and timed the drainage. It dropped 35% in a 3 1/2 hour period of
time. Hence, I will place my complaint to Apple accessibility. The
phone was completely drained and dead as a doorknob when I just
got up. Where can I find the background refresh to turn that off?
I didn't totally turn off location services, but turned it off in
apps that I didn't need to have it on. What else do I need to do
to save on battery? Thanks.
Best,
Eileen

I turned off all background refresh. It looks like location
services gets switched on. This causes 15-20% battery drain per
hour, and the GPS antenna is the only thing that is this power
demanding.
Also, it looks as though this is only happening to people running
VO. None of my sighted friends are having the battery drain problem.
So, turn off background app refresh. Also, very regularly close
apps from the app switcher. Finally, email accessibility so they
will hopefully soon test this and find the problem.
One thing we do know, Apple does repair these sorts of problems
when they figure out what is going on. Unfortunately, they
usually don't role out an update when the problem is only with
VO, so we will most likely be waiting a few months before the
problem is resolved.

I am using an iPhone for S. I wrote previously while I'm Wi-Fi
and streaming radio I am using 16% battery per hour. I called
Apple tonight they have me doing iCloud restore. It made it
worse I'm now using 20% per hour. I am curious what other folks
are finding in a similar situation. Apple is suggesting a new
restore from the computer. I do not want to do this. Suggestions
are appreciated.
