Does cellular data mean the amount of gb's on phone

The amount of celluar data you have referrs to the amount of information you can transfer between the phone and the internet over your carrier's cellular network (usually per month). The amount of storage you have on the phone is completely separate.

  • Why did the IOS7 Notes app use 2.7Gb of cellular data in the last 3 weeks?

    Hi,
    I purchased a new Iphone5s on October 5. I have kept the OS updated so it is at 7.0.2. now (will go to 7.0.3 when the download completes successfully). The apps and configuration on my 5s were retored from a backup of the Iphone 3GS that it replaced.
    However, I just received a notification from my phone provider that I had used all of my cellular data limit for the billing period. This is surprising since my normal usage for a month is a few hundred megabytes and the limit with my new phone was 3Gb shared.
    Investigating the cellular data usage numbers showed that Apple's "Notes" app had used 2.7Gb of cellular data in the 3 weeks since I had purchased the phone. In this time I had created ONE new note. I never use the app. WHY did it use so much cellular data?

    This is completely ridiculous. An app I don't even use, which is installed and maintained by APPLE, starts doing something that uses Gb of cellular data. Can anyone explain WHY this is happening? I have turned cellular data usage OFF for the Notes app to try to prevent future problems (and turned off cellular data usage entirely for the rest of the month to try to avoid additional charges)... however, I have no idea how to convince my provider that a buggy app provided by Apple in the new phone they sold me is responsible for the unexpectedly high data usage.

    Has anyone else seen the "Notes" app using an insane amount of cellular data? In any case, I am tempted to suggest disabling cellular data usage on Apple apps until they fix issues like these.

    Hi Robert,
    Thank you for the comments but I somehow think we are miscommunicating.
    1) I have no problem backing up the phone locally (or to icloud if I wanted to)
    2) I have no problem turning on or off cellular data usage for any app on the phone
    3) I have no problem seeing what apps are enabled or how much cellular data they use
    My problem is the following
    APPLE's Notes app used 2.7 GIGABYTES of cellular data (before I disabled cellular data for this app) despite the fact I wasn't even using the app. I didn't change any setting for Notes, I didn't do anything with it except create one note on October 15. It would seem to me that this excessive usage is a bug or oversight in Apple's design of the app.
    The purpose of this post is to warn others of the potential issue and to see if this issue has been observed by anyone else and if there are any actual fixes. Disabling cellular data for the app is a work-around ... but will the problem begin again if cellular data is re-enabled?
    Your suggestion of erasing all content and settings and then restoring the phone from the backup sounds extreme but would it solve the specific problem of excessive cellular data usage and if so .. why?

  • When I try to disable cellular data in the settings for my apps it will toggle fine, but once I exit and go back in to the cellular settings its back on again all by itself.

    I have had a problem with my iphone 4s for some time now but I have just been so busy to try and fix it. When I try to disable cellular data in the settings for my apps it will toggle fine, but once I exit and go back in to the cellular settings its back on again all by itself. However, even though it says the data is on, I can’t use the data when I don’t have wifi. I tried restoring my phone a few times and the last time I did that, it wouldn’t turn my service on so I had to talk with a Verizon agent for a long time trying to fix it and finally they simply sent me another phone. I thought hey new phone, this part will be fixed. However, I got my service to work but it’s still the same problem with the cellular data. I have just left it alone and not worried about it, but it’s still not fixed and thought I could ask on here if anyone had any ideas. It has something to do with the apps actually installed on the iphone. Apps like the mail, safari, settings, itunes apps, etc. All my other apps turn on and off just fine. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Read the User's Guide... it covers how to backup and sync the device as designed.

  • I have an iphone 3G 16GB 4.2.1 - i moved back to canada and got telus mobile service. they cant get phone working because cellular data network tab/button is not on my phone. How do i get it on there

    OK. T-Mobile is NOT owned by AT&T... yet... The deal hasn't gone through yet. T-Mobie's US network is not compatible with the iPhone. Lots of things don't work right. There is not, and never has been an unlocked 3G sold in the US. Don't know where the phone originated, but more than likely it was in the US. If that's the case, the phone has been hacked/jailbroken to get it to work.
    Have you tried doing a restore or restoring the phone as new? I have to warn you, if you do so and the phone is hacked/jailbroken, it will re-lock to AT&T and will become unusalbe.  I think your best bet right now might be to save yourself a lot of grief and just upgrade to new phone from a legitimate source.
    I would never even consider buying an iPhone on ebay. 99% or more are hacked, jailbroken and/or stolen.

  • What does this message mean - The operation can't be completed because the item "12b" is in use.

    The operation can’t be completed because the item “12b” is in use.  What does this message mean.  It appeared as I was attempting to clear my time machine backup?

    Reboot your machine make sure Aperture doesn't start (as Lion is liable to do) and try it.

  • I have ios 7 and lately when im turning off cellular data for some apps when i leave settings and go back in they have turned on back again by themselves. It appears as if i cant turn off cellular data for the apps i want. Any tips?

    I have ios 7 and lately when i go to settings-cellular and try to turn off cellular data for some apps it doesnt work. As i turn off cellular data for one app immideately after i exit settings and re-enter settings cellular data for that same app goes back on again by itself. That happens for most of my apps and is reqlly annoying. Whats more annoying is that when i am not using wifi even though the settings for cellular data for safari or facebook or some other app are turned on (since i cant turn them off as i mentioned) i get the message that cellular data is turned off for this app and i cant use the internet at all on cellular data. I have reset to factory settings and restored from backup and the problem persists. Is there some help or tips you can offer me?

    Did you get anywhere with this? I'm considering wiping it and setting it up as a new device.

  • I am using pay as you go on my phone, does FaceTime use up the money I put on my phone?

    i Just want to know if I'm using up the money I pay for pay as you go by using FaceTime or if it's free to use.

    FaceTime uses data. If you are connected to wi-fi it should use that and not incur any expense from your cellular connection. If you are not connected to wi-fi it would use your cellular data connection. You can insure that doesn't happen by going to Settings > Cellular and turning FaceTime off in the "Use Cellular Data For" section.

  • HT4910 My iCloud contact list does not contain all the contacts that are in my phone.  If I delete one from my phone it will delete it instantly from the iCloud contacts.  But how do I get all those other contacts on my phone to the iCould on my Windows c

    My iCloud contact list does not contain all the contacts listed in my iPhone 5S.  If I delete a contact from the phone it instantly deletes it from the iCloud on my PC.  But my PC iCloud list is lacking many of the contacts on my phone.

    And which account did you enter these contacts in?
    On My Mac
    or
    iCloud?

  • What does insufficient data mean?

    I am using and HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus and my PC operating system is Windows Vista 32bit.
    I just signed up for e-print and tried to send an e-mail with a small attachment to my printer.  Nothing happened and the error message on the e-print website was:  "Insufficient data".  What does this mean and what do I need to do to correct it?
    Thank you.

    Hi rnorwood,
    When the message 'Insufficient Data' appears in the ePrint Center, it can usually mean that there was no printable message. This can occur when you send an email to your ePrint address with or without a subject line and no body of the email to be printed.
    **The ePrint service only prints the body of the email, and any supported attachments, and not the To, From, or Subject lines.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

  • Does processed date mean that my product is on it's way ho

    Now on my RMA update page it now says:[color="#33cc00">RMA was issued to customer:[color="#33cc00">?[color="#33cc00">3/5/2006 4:02:43 PM[color="#33cc00">RMA arri'ved at Creative:[color="#33cc00">?[color="#33cc00">3/20/2006[color="#33cc00">RMA was processed at Creative:[color="#33cc00">?[color="#33cc00">3/27/2006Does that mean that my zen has been shipped back to me or is it still at the labs? AKA am i waiting for another date to come up or just until it returns to me in the mail?

    When creative ships your RMA, a new date will appear that is like: Product shipped from creative: 3/27/2006 (with the date it is shipped). There will also be a tracking number on that page too. (and you should get an email telling you that your zen has been shipped to.)
    But im guessing because your RMA was processed, it is going to be shipped really soon

  • What does this message mean, "The iPad cannot be synced.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation?"

    I need some help syncing my iPad.  I get a message about not having enough privileges for this operation.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    It means you are using windows and the user agent stuff is messed up.
    Try looking at permissions on the drive iTunes library is on.

  • HT201210 What does "corrupt data" mean?

    When I plug in my phone to update it, a pop up appears and tells me that it cannot update because the data is corrupt. My storage is full, but would that count as corrupt data? HELPPPPP!

    Corrupt data is what causes storage to be used ... it is not the result of too much storage being used.
    It sounds like the cure will be to restore your iPhone as a new device, and then manually sync your iPhone.

  • HT201359 I used a gift card but not the whole amount, is this entered as a credit? Where does it tell me the amount left? Are taxes added to the purchase price?

    I received a gift card, entered the number and clicked redeem. The book downloaded fine but how doI know how much is left on the card? Is it now a credit? Because I used the one click feature did it go to my credit red instead? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    If you're using a computer to check, the balance will appear at the top of the iTunes Store window, next to your user name, when you're logged into the iTunes Store. It will be at the upper-left in iTunes 11, and at the upper-right in iTunes 10.x and earlier.
    If you're looking on your iPad, go to either the iTunes or App Store app, go to the very bottom of the window, sign into your account, and your balance will then appear below your user ID.
    Regards.
