This isn't the exact answer for this question, but I had a similar issues that I solved by simply passing $scope as an argument to a function in my factory. So it won't be the normal $scope, but $scope at the time the function in the factory is called.

app.controller('AppController', function($scope, AppService) {


  $scope.getList = function(){

    $scope.url = '/someurl'

    // call to service to make rest api call to get data

    AppService.getList($scope).then(function(res) {
      // do some stuff 

    });
  }

});


app.factory('AppService', function($http, $q){
  var AppService = {

    getList: function($scope){
      return $http.get($scope.url).then(function(res){
        return res;
      });
    },

  }

  return AppService;
});
