Can I turn off Cell Service and just use GPS

I want to use my iPhone 5 with only GPS activate for when I run with various apps.
I no longer have a cell account on this phone since I just bought an iPhone 6. I don't want my phone to keep searching for service and running down the battery plus the annoying notification "Phone is not Activated. Is there a way to turn off everything (including phone service, not just data) except the GPS?
Thank you...

So, in theory, when I can use WiFi, it should not be running up data usage against the 3G plan that I pick...correct?

  • Can you turn off apple tv and just watch your regular tv?

    Can you turn off apple tv and just watch your regular tv?

    I have an LG TV - I am still trying to work thru all this but on mine, I select TV on the TV remote and it takes me back to cable. Then when I want to return to Apple TV, I select INPUT on the remote and then HDMI. Took me right back to Apple TV.
    (But I had already configured the TV for an external HDMI device during set up.)

  • Any way to turn off LCD display, and just use a TV?

    For when I am watching a movie, or a tv show on my MBP to my television. I dont like having the LCD screen on, wasting its life away.
    If I tell the MBP to turn off the display after a minuet, (in power settings) will that leave the TV out on?
    If there is anyway to do this, thanks.

    While it is connected to the TV, put the MBP to sleep by closing its lid. Now, wake it up again, not by opening it, but by use of an external USB device like a mouse. This will cause only the TV to be active. Once the TV lights up, you can open the lid on the MBP if you like and the screen will remain off.
    You have to have the MBP plugged into its AC adapter for the above to work.

    Yes, you can turn off cellular data. You will not be able to use Visual Voicemail or get MMS messages, however.

    Yea,I found that but it also kill voicemail which does not make sense as it should still have all phone funtions(which I would think incloud VM access)but VM needs cell data to work, so I can get & make calls and know when i've missed one but need to turn on data to get or check messages.stupid program! I guess they make it so you must use 3g weather you want to or not,Thanks

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?

    Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?
    This is to avoid transmission when I work without the need for wireless

    Yes, you can. Just open the web interface of the router. On your browser type the IP address of your router, usually http://192.168.1.1 go to wireless tab and disable it.

    Thank you for all of your answer.

    I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
    Reset PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
    You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • HT201150 How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?

    How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
    With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
    This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
    Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
    If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
    Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
    Thanks!

    Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button

  • HT201209 I went onto my computer and set up an account...I entered my gift cards where it said redeem and there is $40 on my account.  However,I have no idea how to use it.  I read that I can take my credit card out and just use the itunes card but again

    I went into the computer and set up my account, I then went to where you enter the gift card info to redeem the money and my account says I have $40...however, when I go and try to use it I can not figure out how to do so.  I also read that I can remove my credit card info and just use Itune cards...but again i can not figure out how to do this. 
    This is very frustrating because something so simple is turning into an all day fiasco!

    Hello Brod1,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing.  The iTunes Store will automatically recognize the credit you applied.  You can find the details of how iTunes Store purchases are billed below:
    Order of iTunes billing methods
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
    When you buy individual songs from the iTunes Store:
    Free song credits are redeemed first.
    If you have no free song credits, gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used next.
    If your gift certificate, prepaid card, and/or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance.
    If you have no free song credits or gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the songs you buy.
    When you buy an album on the iTunes Store:
    Gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used first.
    If your gift certificate, prepaid card, or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance. Note: Free song credits cannot be used for album purchases.
    If you have no gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the albums you buy.

  • Can you turn off the charging feature when using accessories?

    Can you turn off the charging feature when using accessories with the iPad?

    You cannot overcharge the battery when using the power adapter. Once the battery is fully charged, the iPad will no longer continue to charge if it is still connected. I leave my iPad on the power adapter for hours on end - on weekends when I am not at work.

    These are both worthwhile reading for concerns about the battery and how to properly maintain it.
    I know nothing about external speakers with the iPad since I do not use them - but If the speaker is with a dock of some sort that charges the iPad - you should have no worries. If it is a dock that charges the iPad - I know of no way to turn off the charging feature, but it will not shorten the life of the battery anyway as long as the battery is properly maintained and cared for.

    Hi..
    Select None in the Payment Information window.
    Then purchase iTunes gift cards which you can redeem from the iTunes Store to make purchases. Be aware, that the None option is not available in all counties.

I hope it's soon.  I'm thinking of changing providers now.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
