About disable the cellular data function

Hi everyone, I get a big problem...
I have just come back to HK after my holiday. I'm really sure that I had turned off the cellular data function when I left HK.
However, I was really surprised when I received the bill. There is a big charge for data roaming. I have contact my mobile phone company and he replied that it is impossible to completely turn off the cellular data function of the iPhone. iPhone will get updating some data, such as weather automatically.
is it true??
Thx for your help!!!!

Hi,
This topic interests me. Can I just confirm that navigating to Settings>General>Mobile Data and turning:
1) Mobile Data
2) Enable 3G
3) Data Roaming
to "Off" will not entirely prevent access to cellular data networks? What if you navigated a step further to >Mobile Data Networks and simply deleted all entries, or replaced existing entries with garbage?

How do you disable the "Cellular Data is Turned Off for '[app]'" message?

I keep getting this message on my iPhone. I know that the programs' access to cellular data has been turned off. Does anyone know how to disable this message? Is Apple going to fix this software issue (I know many people have had this problem too)?

I find it very frustrating that only some users like me but not all have this issue.. This is clearly a bug in within the newest update and it is the most annoying. Apple need to fix this. I have no data, it comes up, the wifi is on, it comes up. Regardless of what i do, On or Off and even restoring the device it still continues to do it. Anything posted about how to fix this issue "manually" will be disregarded until Apple tech fix the software issue..

How can I disable the "Cellular data is turned off for this app" message while on WiFi?

Super annoying: all apps I disable cellular data for popup with this message while on WiFi. It makes total sense for the message to display while on cellular data, but how can I make it stop while I'm on WiFi?!?!

How can I disable the "cellular is turned off" popup when I'm using Wifi?

Cellular Data is turned on on my iPhone 6 Plus, but cellular data is turned off on most of the apps. This is because I have limited cellular data available in my AT&T plan. When I'm using my iPhone 6 Plus in a WiFi network at home, or elsewhere, I get an annoying popup telling me that cellular data is turned off for the app I'm using. I have to clear the popup notification over and over and over. As I am on WiFi, this shouldn't be happening. I've regularly checked a post about this problem by someone else, but there has been no response to their post. I've also talked with sales people at a couple of Apple stores and at AT&T. One person suggested I toggle cellular data (master switch) off and back on. That seemed to work while in the Apple store, but the popup problem returned. If I leave several of the apps cellular data turned on, I feel I will quickly use up my limited data and be charged for the extra data by AT&T. I believe many of my apps frequently "phone home" even when not in use, but when cellular data to them is left on.I would like to disable the "cellular data is turned off" reminder so I won't have to "OK" out of it, or go to settings for no reason.
Thanks in advance for any help. My iPhone 6 Plus is always kept up to date with latest operating system and new versions of apps are always downloaded.

I wonder if you can change any settings in the individual apps, to only function on wi-fi? Just curious, probably not , but who knows? I only seem to get that pop-up when i'm downloading podcasts if i am suddenly out of range of my wi-fi.
I am one of the super lucky ones that still has "unlimited data" on my iphone with ATT. I'm sure they'll take it away at some point, somehow, but for now, I'm stuck with ATT to keep the data plan!

How do i figure it out what app use the cellular data in standby mode?

How do i figure it out what app use the cellular data in standby mode? I disabled the cellular data for 3 days, and my battery last longer. I don't use push notifications, neither location services. I'm not signed in in skype or any IM app.

Do you use push email? Do you have accounts that have synchronized calendars associated with them? Those features will still use cellular data in the background as the receive mail and send or receive calendar updates.
Some notifications, like push notifications from Facebook and other social networking sites may use cellular data in the background. Basically, any automated data task like those may use cellular data when the phone is in standby (note that wifi would be used if available when the phone is active, but wifi turns off in standby and all data goes through the cellular data connection).

Disable the App Delete functionality

Hi,
does anyone know of a way to disable the Application delete functionality on the iPhone - or make it so it requires a passcode;
I tend to let my daughter to play with the phone for educational apps and movies and she has a tendancy to wander and delete apps (resulting a couple of times in data loss)
Anyone aware of a good way to cripple or restrict the App management ??
TIA
Rich

No, you cannot.
There are plenty of posts here about parents giving their kids the phone and it ending up badly - its your choice. But if the dribble or juice trips the moisture senors, you won't get any sympathy. Letting a child play with a $600 piece of sensitive electronics really isn't sensible but its your choice.
Buy her a cheap Touch on Ebay and play safe.

After enabling cellular data, i am receiving mails even if disable "use cellular data for mail", due to this data usage usage use is more, if we have fix please let me know

Phone Model and OS
Model - iphone 5
IOS 8.0.2
Problem Description
After enabling cellular data, i am receiving mails even if we disable "use cellular data for mail", due to this data usage usage use is more, if we have fix please let me know.
Steps:
1. Enable Cellular Data
2. Disable mail on "use cellular data for mail
3. check whether mail is received or not
tried multiple times and i am getting more billing amount because of data usage

Mail isn't the only app using data. Turning it off there has no effect whatsoever on whether the rest of iOS or other apps you have installed. In fact most apps use data these days, at a minimum for Notifications and often for gameplay and other features.

I have an iPhone 4s, but wifi the option is greyed out. The wifi stopped working on it months ago. Now I wanted to erase all content and setting from my old 4s and it will not connect to the internet, because the cellular data is no longer connected, since I bought a new iPhone 5c. I can't erase my phone by pluggin it into my Macbook Pro, since I can't disable the "Find my iPhone" App without internet. How do I erase all the data and setting on my 4s without connecting to the internet? It is running ios 7

I just did it. To enter DFU mode, I had to use "method 3" on this post
http://thebigboss.org/guides-iphone-ipod-ipad/dfu-mode
Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone.

The cellular data services have disappeared from my settings. Can anyone help me restore it please?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

i cant find the cellular data setting on my iphone
how i can fix it
because I can't use the internet with my iphone right now

If you go into Settings>General>Network, you should still be able to access VPN settings. My listings show Cellular Data, Data Roaming, Set Up Personal Hotspot, VPN and Wi-Fi. I do not use Personal Hotspot (tethering) so mine says Setup. However, VPN settings are different than cellular data settings. Not sure which you are asking about now.

I just updated my iphone 4 to 5.0.1 and yet i encounter a problem which is that i cannot get to the internet while it always says : you are not subscribed to the cellular data, or it's not been activated. Please help me my carrier is AT

Check to make sure cellular data is not disabled in settings. If it's on, try re-setting the phone. If that doesn't fix it, call AT&T.

HT201699 My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?

My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?

Yes ATT hides the APN settings so when you try to use a st sim it automatically reads on AT&T network so the APN settings are hidden and cannot be accessed however you can go to apn.straighttalk.com on you'r phone and select APN/data settings then select AT&T then iPhone and a screen will pop up asking if you would like to install the profile for whatever reason it's not verified but works fine. You can also go to www.unlockit.co.nz and set up a straight talk APN profile that is verified not sure exactly what that means but both work to get the data working on the phone for straight talk but it does not make the MMS work. There are a couple other methods I have read about one is on howardforums using ibackupbot to manually change the files on the phone I haven't been able to get mine to stick using that method but other people have and there is a sim swap method to trick the phone to reveal APN settings using a tmobile sim I have not tried this but other people have with success. The last two methods mentioned will make both data and MMS work

How to block specific program to use the Cellular Data?

There are options under Settings - Cellular Data... but they are either worseless or there's a bug with IOS. You can disabled apps from using cellular data, but they turn themselves right back on.

HT1695 why do I have to disable the cellurlar data to connect to Optimum or xfinity public wifi?

why do I have to disable the cellurlar data to connect to Optimum or xfinity public wifi?

you are pretty quick at responding and that is excellent.
MY issue is: when I log on to Optimum or Xfinity public wifi and I dont change the Cellular Data (settings), it says that there is an error loading the page and it wont let me put in the login information. My wifi works fine at home without having to configure or touch the cellular data.

Why did the cellular data tab disappear

I am not able to access internet. My cellular button is no where to be found

Hi DELTADAWN545,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are unable to locate the cellular data settings on your iPad. the cellular data settings should be found under Settings > Cellular Data as described in the attached article. If this option is not there and you are sure this is an iPad Wi-Fi plus Cellular model, please let me know.
