Cellular Data pop-up

Why does the newly updated Podcasts app keep asking if I want to temporarily turn on cellular data, when it's already on (and stays on)? This happens every time I try to open a new podcast when not on a wi-fi network (using iPhone 4 and the new iPad). I get this pop-up message:
Use Cellular Data
Would you like to temporarily turn
on Cellular Data in order to play
back this streaming episode?
Now, it doesn't prevent me from doing anything- it's just annoying to be asked to do something I'm already doing. Is this a feature?

Found the problem. Turns out that Podcasts has its own setting for Cellular Data in addition to the general one. Just go to Settings, scroll down to Podcasts, and turn on Cellular Data (assuming you want to use it full-time) and presto- no more pop-up!

How Do I Stop the "Cellular Data is Turned Off..." Pop-up?

RE: "Cellular Data is Turned Off for..." pop-up on iOS 8.0.2 (iPhone 5s)
I have set cellular data ON for some apps and OFF for others. BY CHOICE. So, I am suffering EVERY DAY with a pop-up telling me my "Cellular Data is Turned Off for..." for all of the applications I turn on where I HAVE PURPOSEFULLY CHOSEN TO TURN OFF THE CELLULAR DATA.
I NEVER want to see this pop-up again. And, I do not wish to turn on Cellular Data for most of my apps. BY CHOICE. Stop popping me! Somebody please answer this question. I absolutely hate this pop-up. I am often in situations without my glasses - and this thing just drives me crazy! Can't see the right answer....push the wrong side "OK" versus "Settings". I hate it. I know what apps I want to have cellular data and which one's I do not! Stop the pop-up. Or lose me to another brand of phone. Period.
Please, person with lots of "levels" - answer this question! Help me turn the pop-up off. I am not going to compromise other essential things (like turn off bluetooth or just check "all" for cellular data service and know that it will go away. I want cellular data service for only a few things AND I never want to see this pop-up again.

Droid Razr HD won't connect to anything with cellular data. Also won't show messages correctly. Notification pops up, but no message to be found.

My Droid Razr HD won't connect to anything when I'm using my cellular data. Also, when I receive messages, a notification pops up but no message is shown at all.

Let's get your phone connected to everything with cellular data Larissaadele! We need some more clues to explore options to resolve! When did this connectivity issue start? For the messaging issue outlined in your post, are you referring to text messages or voice mail messages? What is your phone's software version?

Thanks for the quick response. No, I did not get any error messages or any terms-of-usage screen. The employee I told my problem to was not computer savvy either. She just suggested I move to different spots w/in the library to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. When I connected to the library WiFi it did change the Verizon 3G that is usually in the upper left corner to iPad with two to three emanating arcs. I may have to go to the library in the next town. I was able to connect to theirs in the past when I had to download something greater than 20 MB. Unless I really want it, I will probably not even try to download something more than 20 MB due to the hassle. Yeah, I may have been better off getting a normal desktop or laptop and getting WiFi at home. To do that now would mean having my iPad 2 and a desktop computer, which I feel is extravagant. (I know there are a lot of big spenders out there who got the iPad as additional gadget for fun. This is a rich country.) A Verizon rep told me I couldn't set up a WiFi router at home just using an iPad. So it seems like a person who just uses 3G is limited to surfing the net (not even much YouTube because it eats a lot of data) and using email. I read about an app that helps print wirelessly using 3G, but a reviewer said you had to be an engineer to get it done right. BTW, I like the Steelers. I'm old enough to remember Franco Harris and that blond guy whose name escapes me back in the '70s. Since I live in North Jersey I feel I have to support the Giants. But I know football about as well as computers.

Can I stop the pop up message to activate cellular data with getting the cellular dataplan

I Have an iPad Air2 with WiFi plus cellular. At the present time I do not want to activate the cellular service but keep getting a pop up message to activate cellular data. How do I stop the pop up message? Should I take out the SIM card? Would rather not do that.

Cellular Data for Podcasts pop-up - how to get rid of (iOS7)

I am downloading all of my podcasts to my iPhone 4 (iOS7) through iTunes on my iMac. Before iOS7, I did this and listened to them in the Music app - it was all really straightforward. iOS7 forces me to use the Podcast app. I'm still not sure if I'd doing the sync/download from iTunes correctly as sometimes the episodes appear on the phone and sometimes they don't (and I'm the one who usually figures these things out and tells my other family members how to do it), but that's a whole different story.
Because I do not want any podcasts automatically downloaded to the phone, especially over Verizon's network, I turned off Settings -> Podcasts -> Use Cellular Data. I have also turned off Sync Subscriptions.
Whenever I am not on a WiFi network and I unlock my phone while it is in the Podcast app, I get a popup that says:
Cellular Data is Turned Off for "Podcasts"
You can turn on cellular data for this app in Settings.
And I have to "OK" it to make it disappear. It is getting annoying. I know cellular data is off. I did it on purpose.
My goal is to get rid of the popup but I've had no luck yet after tweaking a few settings. I don't know exactly what Sync Subscriptions does, but one educated guess is that as long as I have that off, no podcasts will be downloaded to the phone unless I do so via iTunes on my iMac. Is that correct, and would that allow me to turn on Use Cellular Data (to get rid of the popup)?
Any other ideas about this?
And if someone can explain all of the different permutations of how to manage Podcasts between iTunes and an iDevice (or even when a computer isn't in the picture), I'm all ears.

None of the tips suggested above worked for me. I still had that infernal message about connecting to the internet. But I have apparently (crossing my fingers) found a solution which works for me.
In the good old days I had iOS6 on my iPhone 5 with iTunes 10. I created a Podcast playlist in iTunes and I could cheerfully listen to it on the Music app driving around Europe (I'm on a UK tariff) with no 3G or wifi.
I now use iOS7 on my iPhone 5, syncing with iTunes 11 on Mavericks. I can now listen to the same Podcast Playlist with the Podcast app, wifi and Cellular Data turned off, Cellular Data and Notifications turned on everywhere and not a trace of the warning message. All the Podcasts play in sequence with no problem. Victory?!
The problem turned out to be in the syncing with iTunes. Although the Podcasts, whether in the Playlist or not, appeared to be syncing, in fact they were not imported fully into the phone. Thus when I selected a Podcast to play, the full file wasn't actually on the phone and so it wanted to stream it.
My solution was achieved by doing the following.
1. Create Podcast playlist in iTunes and drag some podcasts into it.
2. Wiith phone connected to iTunes device, highlight the iPhone in the left hand column and swivel the little arrow to expand the list of contents. You can then check the actual contents of each section on the phone. Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts etc.
3. Hit iPhone in left hand column. Hit Podcasts tab at top of window. Uncheck everything in and out of sight and Apply/Sync to remove all Podcasts from phone.
4. Hit Podcasts section of expanded iPhone contents list in left hand column. That should be empty. Similarly there should be no sign of the Podcast playlist below it.
5. Now return to the Podcasts syncing section. Check 'Sync Podcasts'.
6. Scroll to bottom of page to 'Include Episodes from Playlists' and check the Podcast playlist you created. Apply/Sync.
7. Now check that the Podcasts in the playlist are in the phone by hitting the Podcast label in the expanded contents list. It should match the contents of the Playlist which should also have appeared in the list of playlists in the phone.
8. With WiFi and Cellular Data turned off, go to Podcast app and, if you're as lucky as me, you should be able to play any of the Podcasts in the playlist without that infernal message being displayed. Displaying 1 or 2 fingers at your mobile provider is optional!

Cellular Data and Wifi Problem

Hi Guys. I wonder if you can advise?
I have an iPhone 4S on a monthly contract with an unlimited cellular data plan. The phone is set to Settings-General-Cellular-On= Cellular Data On, Enable 3G On, Data Roaming On. Also, Settings-Wi-Fi On-Ask To Join Networks.
My phone finds and connects to my home network when I come back to the house but when I'm out it will not connect to any other Wifi network. I have tried all of the resets and stuff but no good. When I try to connect to a new network the Login page comes up but no details and then the remote server times out. If I go to Safari and try to access a web page I just get the pop up asking me to join a Wifi Network and when I do an error popup shows saying that the network is unavailable.
Messing around with the phone I have found that if I turn off Cellular Data (web, 3G, email push using wifi only) I can access other networks but, of course, have no 3G cellular data service unless I am in a wifi hotspot.
Is there a way to make the phone switch to cellular data on 3G when out of range of wifi and back again?
Anyway, if anyone can advise it would be appreciated.
Regards
Paul

UPDATE:
Turning off Cellular Data at a local wifi spot (not used before) didn't work this time. However, turning off Cellular and going into Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings then acquiring the wifi network did. I could then turn Cellular Data back on and use the wifi spot.
Will try at another hotspot soon to see if the phone will automatically ask to join the network and allow me to do so without doing the above, as I don't want to be re-inputting other network passwords etc over and over again.

Hello Sophie59
You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account.

Is there a way to turn off the message alert "Cellular data is turned off for _____"?

I turned off cellular data for about half of my apps so I don't go over my data limit (Thanks AT&T). Now every time I open these apps a message alert pops up saying "Cellular Data is Turned Off for _____. You can turn on cellular data for this app in Settings" And it gives two buttons, "Settings" and "Ok".
If it were only a few times, I wouldn't care about closing this message. But now that I have to do it like 20-30 times a day, it has become SUPER ANNOYING. Seriously Apple, how do I turn your stupid message off??? I TURNED OFF MY CELLULAR DATA FOR A REASON, please stop reminding me of what I already know.
AND the worst part is, when that message pops up it locks the phone so the home button doesn't work. Pretty lame software feature in my opinion.

There is a fix for this! I was about to jailbreak my phone to cure this issue, but found the answer on another thread.
Go to settings/notification center. Select the app in question and turn the slider for "allow notifications" to ON. Turn off the sliders below for sounds, etc. Now it shows up in the notification center separately (or seemingly not at all) and not on your screen when you switch to the app. Good luck!

Shared Photo Streams pushed to device over cellular data

Hi,
I created today three shared photo streams in iPhoto and all of a sudden my iPhone started getting very hot and battery being drained quickly (it's an oldish 3GS, and the battery level was decreasing even though the iPhone was connected to the charger...).
In a nutshell: it seems that whilst data from the "ordinary" Photo Stream are uploaded/downloaded only when the device is connected to a wi-fi netwrok, if you have shared Photo Streams enabled on a iOS 6 device, picture data in these photo streams are "pushed" to the device also over cellular data, regardless of any other setting.
Apart draining the battery very fast, this may lead to using inadvertently a lot of data traffic in your data plan.
Did anyone notice a similar behavior and find out how to prevent it, apart disabling Shared Photo Streams alltogether, of course, i.e. did anyone find a a way to ensure shared photo streams are pushed to the device only under wi-fi?
cheers
-gianpiero

I suppose you could disable Shared Photo Steam while you are at cellular network and enable it again when you are at a wi-fi environment. In Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream> turn Shared Photo Stream to Off.
The pop up warning tells you that this will delete all shared photos from your device. What it doesn't say is, since shared photo stream remains stored in iCloud, all you shared and shared with you photo streams will be push back to your device once you enable Shared Photo Steam in wi-fi. The downside of course is if you have a lot of photos in your shared photo steams, it will take some time to download them. But at least you know for sure your cellular data is not affected.
Btw, Shared Photo Steams doesn't count towards iCloud storage, just like Photo Steams. Maybe That's why turning off iCloud document doesn't affect shared photo steams.

Get rid of "Cellular Data Account" iPad message

How can I get rid of "Cellular Data Account" Now / Later message. It is incredibly annoying to have that pop up a number of times each day.

Go to Settings > Cellular Data and turn it off.

IPad Air Cellular Data Plan

Got IPad Air as a gift. Cellular data plan is set to AT&T. I don't want AT&T, how do I remove and change it?

Okay so I tried what Demo suggested and that didn't work so I gave up. Also, I don't want to turn off my bluetooth because I use a bluetooth keyboard all the time.
So I was really excited today when Apple released iOS 8.1.3 thinking that they would resolve this very annoying popup message that locks the whole iPad intil you click on "Later". Well to my complete disappointment the message popped up as soon as I tried to use the iPad after updating to the new iOS. It also popped up while I was typing this message.
C'mon Apple, what is up with this total c**p? Get rid of this message!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unable to connect to Wifi when cellular data is on

As I understand it, I should be able to have both WiFi and Cellular data turned on, and the phone should default to WiFi when a preferred network is in range, and 3G when I'm out of range.
However, when I have cellular data enabled and I attempt to connect to WiFi, it always says "Unable to connect to network". As soon as I turn off cellular data, it connects right away. It does this both at home and at work.
If I enable WiFi (and connect) while in range, then enable cellular data, it will end the WiFi connection, but constantly pop up windows asking which network I want to join, only to tell me I can't connect to them when I try.
My workaround has been to turn off 3G and turn on WiFi when I get in range, and do the opposite when I leave, which means I'm doing this 4 times a day. Annoying to say the least.
Ideas? I am unable to use a static IP at work (I have seen some fixes using a static IP).

as far as i know there is no fix without using a staic IP however you might want to check with your Service Provider and see if you are eligible for an upgrade
