Cellular data only for specific apps

Is there a way by which i can enable cellular data only for specific apps? Lets suppose i want only mail and viber to run on cellular. So how do i enable cellular network only for viber and mail

Hello all,
I have been using the iPhone 4S for about a year and I never had problems untill a few days back. Since about a week, my 3G settings for applications installed automatically reset.
Path >> iPhone screen >> Settings >> Mobile(Cellular) >> Use Mobile Data For >> "List of all apps installed"
Against each application, you have an option to either enable / disable the mobile data usage:
Eg:
App Store          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
Contacts          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
Facebook          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
Facetime          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
Weather          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
You Tube          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
etc...
Problem:
If I don't want You Tube to use mobile data, I would normally swipe left to disable thus the application will not start / stream any music if its on 3G/4G. Since a few days, whenever I disable the option for any app... go back to the main screen and recheck the settings, I see its enabled again!
The error I see when I start the app is:
MOBILE DATA IS TURNED OFF FOR "YOU TUBE"
You can turn on mobile data for this app in settings
<Settings>     <OK>
When I go back to settings... I see the option is enabled.
Now I dont know what and how this happened all of a sudden. I have tried resetting the network settings for my iPhone, and it has not helped me.
My iPhone is updated to OS 7.0.4 and all apps are updated.
Anyone can help me on this error and how do I fix this?
FYI... I have no problems connecting to WiFi at all!

    I'm using a 16GB iPhone 4S, with the latest version of iOS 8.1.1. Whenever I go to the "Cellular" settings on the main settings page and turn OFF cellular data usage for native apps like mail, app store, contacts, photos etc , the moment I back out and come back in, all the native apps I turned cellular off for are back on again. Kindly help me

    Exact same question as ankit1986, specifically with the photos while on cellular-only, and as simple as it sounds, I tried the hard reboot Ingo2711 suggested.  Still experiencing the same error with the native apps reverting to on.  It's killing our shared data-plan (2GB).

  • I am no longer able to turn off cellular data usage for individual apps.  When I turn most of them off, they just automatically reset themselves to allow data usage.  Any thoughts?

    I am definately having the same problem and cannot believe there are no answers or even support that this problem exists.  I never have to post on forumns, I read what is usually readilly availiable for the craziest of problems. 
    Anyways, the problem is just that, I can toggle off a individual app's setting of cellular data availability, but it changes right back on rescreening.  After restarting, resetting etc, it seems that the big Apple Apps are the biggest offenders.  Music is a very important one, Podcasts can kill you very quickly, app store, Photos, Facetime, Stocks?!?!?!
    When one searches for solutions I have to see hundreds of links to "How great is ios7, you can turn off cellular data for individual apps FOR DUMMIES!".  I am a dedicated apple fool since the Apple IIe (long time), but when they run afowl it is usually really bad.  Why offer an on/off switch if the setting is always on?
    I am writing just to add support to the existence of this problem, not so much for people to offer ideas of solutions as I now believe it is in the coding.
    Thank you

  • BICA import data only for specific period

    Hello,
    when using BI connector (BICA) and importing data, is it possible to set for which period (month) to import data?
    Because now I see that it deletes all the data and imports for all months, which I think is not performance wise.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Nerijus.

    Also, why connection between PAS and BW is kept, even after both schema and data import into PAS?
    If I break connection, I can see from logs that DAT171:Unable to do drillthrough operation is being spammed due to connection failure, so it seems it checks for connection frequently.
    Why is it needed when I have both schema and data imported?

  • Why won't my pandora work when I'm not on wifi? I have the cellular data on for it but I never works. Also pandora isn't the only app of mine that does that.. What's wrong with it??

    You're welcome.
    Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
    You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

  • How can I restrict certain apps to cellular data only?

    Product Name: iPhone 6
    Product iOS: 8.3
    Background: I listen to Pandora at work through my iPhone 6. My work has pandora traffic blocked through their WiFi network. I want to keep my iPhone connected to the work WiFi because 1) I don't want to turn on and off my WiFi on my phone 2) I want to my email and other apps to use WiFi since they are not blocked.
    Current Workarounds (not a solutions):
    1) Turn off and on WiFi on iPhone 6- This is a pain/hassle and I forget to turn the WiFi back on.
    2) Switching to a different streaming music providers that aren't blocked by work WiFi- I pay for Pandora One and I like this service the best. I really don't want to switch.
    3) Download music to iPhone memory- I pay for Pandora One and I'd like to use it.
    4) Jailbreak- Not sure if this a solution but I'd rather not jailbreak my device.
    Question: How can I restrict certain apps (Pandora) to use cellular data only?

    Chasen

    The network settings in iOS are global and do not support assigning specific networks to specific apps. You cannot do what you describe.

  • Individual cell data buttons for each app keep turning on by themselves?

    I have a 4S iPhone, OS 7.0.6, and my problem is that the individual cell data buttons for each app keep turning on by themselves. I'll go in and turn them all off and the next time I look (whether in 5 min or 5 hrs) they are all turned back on again? I want to leave my cell data on so that I receive my iMessages but usually don't want everything else turned on until I get to a wifi zone. I used to be able to keep them all off until  I did  the last couple iOS updates. Help!

    Hey there Tylyssanna,
    It sounds like your cellular data options are not saving correctly. I recommend starting by turning off Cellular Data in Settings first. Then close all the running apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone, turn it back on, and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Problem with roaming for specific apps

    Hi :)
    I have a problem with my iPhone 4s:
    When i use roaming on my iPhone 4s i try to save some money by turning off roaming for specific apps, but one day for ca. 3 weeks ago it stopped working!
    Some apps can use roaming but some can't ;(
    There are like 10 apps always turned on, but if i try turning roaming off for an app that is on already it wont work!
    If i close settings and reopen it, the app is now denied using roaming!
    If i try allowing an app it changes but still wont work and after some time it gets in the same possission i cant change!
    I have never experienced this before and i could't find an answer on google ;(
    If you know how to fix it please respond to me here :)
    ~somonekilledme
    P.S: Im really sorry if there are bad english here, but im mot english sooooo..... yeah

    You are on the right track suspecting DHCP conflicts.
    To configure your "roaming network" connect your "slave" Extreme to your main Internet router - either directly or through a switch - and place it in "bridge mode". That will work.
    A router will be distributing IP addresses using DHCP. Anything connected to it should be configured as a bridge, the essential difference being that a bridge does not distribute IP addresses.
    I do not believe your "slave" Extreme will function connected as it is to the "main" Extreme, but may work if you assign it a static IP address. It is not unusual for it to retain this static IP after having been changed to DHCP if its lease is still valid.
    The OK article you referenced must be terribly outdated if it is referring to AirPort Admin Utility. That has not been used in about a decade. Read this one:
    Wi-Fi base stations: Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations
    Unfortunately its screenshots refer to AirPort Utility 5.6, which has been replaced with the prettier, though less useful 6.2.

  • Push notifications for specific apps not working even though the badge updates (Facebook, Google  etc.)

    So this has been happening for months now. I was expecting iOS 5 to fix it, but it hasn't. Push notifications for specific apps do not work. Some come through just fine, but Facebook and Google+ in particular don't work correctly. Facebook push notifications seem to work when the notification is generated from an action performed on a mobile device (ie: someone writes on my wall from another iPhone); if they do the same thing on the desktop, the notification doesn't seem to come through.
    As for Google+, I've never seen a single push notification come through as it should, even though I've seen other iPhones with the same app reciving these notifications with no issue.
    This is particularly strange because the badge on the app icon usually updates (though it feels like fetch, not push), but the notifications simply don't make it into the notification center (or on the lock screen as they should). As I said, this has been happening for months, long before iOS 5, and the problem has persisted now that I'm running iOS 5.
    I've checked and rechecked all notifiation settings for these apps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled them. I've called Apple support and they couldn't offer me any help. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
    Thanks for your time.

    I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems.  I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
    I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well.  I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
    I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix.  I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
    So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account.  I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
    Any thoughts?

  • Load FI data only for open items

    Hi all
    I want to load FI data only for open items.
    We started off with FI_GL_4 which has STATUSPS(status of FI line item)based on which we have written a start routine to filter out the closed items.
    But for other FI-GL datasources we dont have STATUSPS field.
    Then can we load data directly without applying any restriction on it as we dont have STATUSPS field in it?
    Or is there an other way to find all open items ?
    Please helpout.
    Awaiting replies.
    Harika.

    Hi Harikag,
    when you are loading delta data in 0FI_GL_4, it is NOT the right approach to load only the open items.
    Say for example, you have loaded a record with open status.
    If the status of the record gets changed to 'Closed' in SAP, then this will not flow to BW, because of the filter that you are trying to apply in the data load.
    So the item will continue to remain open in BW, though it is closed in R3.
    hence it is highly recommended to do this filtering at report level.
    Otherwise, you are looking at full load option by dropping data everyday, which will have performance issues in loading.
    Thanks,
    Krishnan

  • Using manual IP address only for specific networks

    For my home network I use DHCP with manual address because I have to forward some ports specifically to my computer. However this causes problems when connecting to other networks. For some reason this setting stays active even when using other networks. Therefore, I can't connect to say my school network because the setting has to be set to plain DHCP. Is there a way to use manual IP address only for specific networks?

    System Preferences > Network > Locations and add a location for your home with its manual settings. Add a location for other DHCP locations. Then when you want to connect at another DHCP location select that location from your locations dropdown.

  • Showing Sub-Totals only for Specific Column in PowerView

    Hi,
    Is there a way of showing the sub-totals only for specific columns in a PowerView Matrix?
    I am only aware of showing the sub-totals for all or non of the columns.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Justin

    Hi Justin,
    According to your description, you want to get sub-totals specific columns within columns group. Right?
    In this scenario, we can use IIF() function in expression to achieve your goal. The expression will only return the total value when the column value is a specific value, otherwise we can make it return nothing. Try the following expression:
    IIF(Fields!Column.Value="[specific value]",Sum(Fields!Total.Value),nothing)
    We have tested this scenario in our local environment. Here are screenshots for your reference:

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

    How to limit a collection membership only for specific count of machines

    As I said you can use where SMS ID like %1 and see how many machines that gets you. If it's not enough do where SMS ID like %1 or SMS ID like %2. Keep adding a digit until you get ~5000. It won't be perfect though.
