Cellular data and 3g keeps turning on by itself

When I turn off the data connection that checks my emails, it will switch back on by itself later.
I think if you have email on a schedule to be checked, Windows Mobile will try to reestablish your connection. You might try changing the schedule (or having mail checked Manually) and see whether that solves the issue.

"use cellular data for" apps keep turning back on

ie. go in, slide bar from green to off for facetime, youtube, etc...go out of Cellular, back in, and those apps show green for "use cellular data for".
At first I thought it was an issue with some versions of Angry Birds, as they don't all do this. Then realized facetime, youtube, facebook, etc.. all do this.
Works fine on two other iphones. Running latest ios on 4S
The fact it doesn't do it for all apps is what I find is strange. Thought at first it was an issue with Rovio apps, but then realized even facetime does this.
Thanks

I'd like to know why there is not solution to this. I think I'll just remove all those apps that are turning their 'use cellular' data back on. I only cared because when my kid plays angry birds, my cellular data was being used for videos. Oh well, I guess I'll have to remove apps or get a new data plan.

My iphone 4s has the Cellular Data and Data Roaming but does NOT have the option of ROAMING Voice&Data. Do you know how to enable it?

I've Lost cellular data network and emails after 5.0 upgrade. "Could not activate cellular data network". Have turned off and on, removed sim and also checked APN setting can anyone help...

I've lost cellular date network, all unopened important business emails and internet access on my Ipad 2 after 5.0 upgrade. Received "Could not activate cellular date network" - I have turned on and off, removed the sim and checked the APN is correct. Can anyone help - struggling and need for my business.

I should point out that it worked when the iPhone was set back to factory settings, but when restored with the backup, data/internet no longer works again, and I get the "Could not activate cellular data network" error message yet again.

Notifications use cellular data if it's turned off?

hello, i've had my iphone 4 a little over a month and i'm loving it!
i keep my cellular data turned off because i almost always am wi-fi connected. if i'm not, and i need to access the internet, i just turn on cellular data and then back off when i'm done.
i run the google app for mail/calendar since my email is gmail and i use facebook. i have them both set to notify me of alerts. my question is this....is it correct that i will only receive notifications if i have a wi-fi connection because my cellular data is off? what i don't want to happen is that my cellular data gets automatically turned on to receive those notifications.
thanks in advance for any replies!
p.s....one more issue
is it true that i need cellular data turned on just to receive a picture in a text message? when i was with verizon, i received pics in a text message, it was not a smart phone and i had no data plan. it seems crazy to have to access the internet just to receive a picture in a text message!
thanks again!

Two for two! Thanks very much. I used the arrangements screen to switch where OS X positioned the external monitor (i.e., I have mine on the left, it is on the right by default) but I didn't try to move the menu bar. Works great!
Thanks,
Mike

Can anyone clarify the difference in usage with Cellular Data and 3G ??

I've been reading through a few posts regarding the data usage of
the iPhone 3G(S) and 4.
And there still seems to be questions asking how cellular data and
3G enabled are consuming data info.
I have the 3GS and currently have 3G disabled, but left cellular data on so that I can have "free data access" to wi-fi
networks. But since doing this I notice I'm currently about 75MB into my 200MB plan.
Is this 75MB data going off my actually monthly data plan, or is it the iPhone keeping track of my data usage?
Also on the iPhone it shows my Cellular Data sent 6.4MB.
Can someone clarify what kind of usage justifies what is being sent? Is this emails, Pandora, buying apps, maps, etc??
I just need clarity with this so if need be I can change the way I use my data.
thanks in advance ~A~

3G is a cellular network protocol. If you turn this off using the "Enable 3G" setting, your iPhone will fall back to an older, slower cellular data technology called Edge, but will still use your cellular network for data when no wifi is available.
The "Cellular Data" setting in iPhone will completely disable all methods of accessing data over the cell network. If this setting is turned off, the "Enable 3G" setting becomes redundant, because iPhone won't use any cellular data.
By turning "Cellular Data" off, your iPhone will only use wifi when available. If no wifi network is available, you won't be able to access any data.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

Date and time keeps going missing!

Hi everybody, my date and time keeps going missing from the top bar every time I turn on my mac - sometimes other things go missing, like the airport status.
It used to happen just once a fortnight but after I installed the latest security update, it seems to be happening every time. Does anybody have a reason/fix? Would be much appreciated. Thankyou!

Hi appleoclock, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Not sure this works since that Qursical update, but the cure for that used to be...
Apple Menu Bar Icons Gone
You've probably got a couple of corrupt preference files.
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
This will reset your Menu Bar to the default, you'll need to go through System Preferences to reset the ones you need. (If they are already checked, uncheck them first and then recheck them).

Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

We have cell data plan.
I have other phones (4s) and can see "Find Phone" App under Cellular Data and can turn on/off. But the problem phone does not have "Find IPhone" to be able toturn on/off. I made sure app is running when i go to Cellular Data. I guess the question is why do Apps show up under Cellular Data to be able to turn on/off? I thought if the app was made for Cellular Data it automatically showed up under Cellular Data.

Some apps "use cellular data" will not remain turned off

some apps "use cellular data" will not remain turned off
No matter how often I go to settings>cellular and turn off the apps, as soon as I close that screen they automatically turn back on.
I prefer not to delete the apps and reload them as I will loose the data in them when they are removed.
Thanks for the help.

First thing and easiest thing to try is a device reset:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

HT201415 dear i purchased apple iphone 4 s from saudi arabia. i have checked all the setting available on apple website but my cellular data and 3g are still not working. i m really disappointed by apple product.

Can you please tell me the apple service center in jeddah saudi arabia or any authorised dealer who can claim my issues ?

Cellular data and whether 3G works on your phone has nothing to do with the phone itself. This is the responsibility of your phone company/carrier and is linked to the sim card that you have inserted into your phone.
You don't need to go to a service centre, but you do need to contact your phone company - cellular data and 3G is their responsibility and not Apple's.
Also, this is a public user forum, so you are not addressing Apple here.

I just upgraded my ipad OS and now my ipad is not picking up the 3G network. Why and how do I fix this? When I go into cellular data and view account it says my ipad is activated and ready to go. What gives???

It was working fine up until I upgraded the OS which I hadn't done in many versions so the ipad was not working as well as it should. Now it is searching for the network.

Hello noodles074!
Let's get your device working again! It's possible that your device just needs to be reprovisioned on our network. Please go to Settings>General>Reset>Subscriber Services>Reprovision Account. This may take several minutes. After allowing about 5 minutes for completion, please power your iPad off and back on, and test it again. Let us know if this takes care of it!
Thank you,

You can try the following expect that I think you have a hardware problem and the Genius Bar is your only choice.
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
