Does Qik use WiFi and Cell phone service ?

At home we have WiFi in the house connected to our Router, which connects to our ISP.
Using an iPhone in our house, using Qik,...will all the vido data use our WiFi connection ?
...to send a new Qik video ?
...to receive a new Qik video ?
If we are out of the house, with no WiFi available, will Qik use our "cell phone network" ?
(Which will use "data minutes" I assume.)
I guess this is separate from "TXT messaging", and if I have a limit on TXT, that is independent from Qik ?
Sound correct ?
Just want to have a good idea of when Qik uses each network.
Thanks

Hi,
All depends on the connection type that your phone is using. If you are using WiFi connection with your iPhone at home, then Skype Qik usage - as any other internet usage on the device - will go through WiFi.
When you are out and connected through "mobile internet", then Skype Qik will use this connection for sending/receiving videos.
It does not affect your text messaging limits in any way, as it uses internet connection for sending/receiving videos.
PS. On iPhone (iOS 7 and up), you can actually go to Settings > Cellular to tell the app to use WiFi only, if needed.

I loaded ios7.1 to my Ipad2 and my wife's cell phone came up. I can't change it and now I get her text messages on my iphone4S and she is getting apps I download on her iphone 4S. How do we fix it?

I recently downloaded ios7.1 to my ipad and my wife's cell phone # appeared on my ipad. It would not let us change it. Now I am getting her text messages and she is getting the apps I load on her iphone4S. We both have iphone 4S, but she has version 7.1 and I still have 6.0 because I didn't like the changes in v.7.0. We share an Apple ID and password which was not a problem before. My daughter says this is our problem, as she had her husband had this issue. She doesn't know how he fixed it. Has anyone else had this issue and can you tell us how to separate our Apple ID/passwords if this is, indeed, the problem?

If you share an Apple ID, both of your phone numbers should be linked to that ID. You should be able to use your phone number as well. My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, and we each text from our iOS devices using our own iPhone numbers.
When iOS 6 came out, you were able to link the phone number with your Apple ID to use for Messages and FaceTime. You will need to sign out of messages on all devices and then start the process all over again.
Take a look at this.

Use of Push Notifications between Wifi and Cell Data

Is there a way to set the phone to automatically have push notifications turn ON when you're on WiFi and OFF when you're on cell data? I dont mind recieving them, but it would be nice if there was a preference to recieve them only when on WiFi. Anyone know how to do that?

The iPhone priority for a data connection is: WIfI>3G>Edge>GPRS. Note: While in sleep mode, unless connected to a power source, iPhone will disconnect from available WiFi & use cellular data for all data needs.
But my iPhone 4 definitely is using 3G when wifi is available, even switching to it when having been on wifi. For me this has only been happening since we started receiving 3G and 4G in our area. Used my full 200 meg data plan in one day when I normally hadn't come close to that all month. My settings were definitely set for using wifi and wifi was definitely available (was using it with my laptop). My internet is only 1 mb so I wonder if it chooses 3G or 4G because of speed. If so, this is a problem for me. If not, there is another problem.

I use a prepaid cell phone , who elses does?

Im not a big talker on the phone. I do have a landline number, but thats only because I need it for DSL in my area. So I went with a prepaid phone, and I must say I am pleased that I can purchase the talk time I only need when it matters most. Each cell phone comes with hidden fees and other TOS lingo you gotta read before activating your phone but its not as bad as it seems.

Personally, I think T-mobile is the leader in prepay at the moment.
Once you hit gold status which takes buying a $100 prepay card any future minute purchase will last 1 year.
Here is why I believe they are the best "Emergency" Phones:
So, first year you buy a $100 prepay card and a $50 phone.
Second year, you buy a $10 card and get a whole year before it expires (and your $100 rolls over if it hasnt been used.)
2 Years of full time cell phone service with over 1200 minutes for $160.
3 years for $170
If you only use the phone for 1 minute calls, it is the best value.
You can easily upgrade to a plan when you hit that point where you use more minutes.
BUT for $40 a month PREPAY you can get 400 minutes if you buy in $100 increments. Thats a deal.

Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
8. Reinstall OS X.

Thanks for the help. Now I can feel comfortable in not having to sign up for cellular when I buy, esp. Since I'll be using my new IPad mostly at home on my Cox wi fi. Then I can see, in using the i pad, how often I'd actually use the cellular, and where. This can help decide which type of cell plan I get. Small problem it may seem, but a very helpful answer. Thanks.

I updated my software to iOS6 and now my phone won't automatically join known wifi networks even though I have it on. It goes back to 3G every so often when I'm at home instead of using wifi, and each time I ask to join it asks for my wifi password

Try this for your home Wi-Fi:
On your iPhone, Settings > Wi-Fi > select your home network > "forget this network"
Power down (unplug) your wireless router
Restart your iPhone
Plug in your router
Re-join that network
I don't know if this simple technique will fix it for good but try it. There is a long thread about this problem here: iOS 6 WiFi Disabled

I just bought my phone few days ago. From the day I bought it I realized the phone heats up after a little use. It gets really hot while using Wifi and downloading. Anyone else having these issues? What's the solution to this?

Your VGA is definitely corrupted and it is irreparable, so just make the HP to change your vga.
Also next time read my post on how to keep your laptop cool to avoid same issues again.
I assume your laptop was pretty hot during some time and that's the result you've got.

What is the best app for following of the download? I mean how much I downloaded using WIFI and how much 3D download.

I would like to follow the amount of MB I downloaded and to know how much data was downloaded using WIFI and how much using 3G (internet connection by phone network provider as AT&T and so...).
Thank you very much for any suggestions.

Personally I have tried LogMeIn Ignition, Splashtop, and AlwaysOnPC, as well as TeamViewer. Although LogMeIn Ignition is expensive I would also have to say that it is the best one I've tried. Apart from viewing the computer's screen, you can access the files and folders in a standalone file browser interface without seeing the computer's screen, this speeds things up a lot.
As for security, I'm not too sure, as the website for LogMeIn does not seem to list the details. But as with any other internet based service, like email and social networking sites, an additional account of any sort will increase your vulnerability, even if it's just by that small amount. You can try accessing the computer through a VPN when on a public wifi network for added security. However about the virus, I don't think that is possible... No need to worry about your iPad getting a virus.

If iPhone needs repair, can I use my old cell phone as back up?

If I need to send my iPhone in for battery replacement or repair, will I be able to use my previous cell phone until I get my iPhone back?
The newly posted iPhone Service FAQ states that Apple will be "renting" AppleCare Service iPhones for $29. I realize that none of the info stored on the SIM will transfer to my old phone, but I can always sync contacts to that phone from my computer, and I'd rather do that than shell out $29 for a loaner.
By the way, don't most cell companies provide loaner phones for free? Why is Apple charging $29... other than because they can.

Definitely...your iPhone sim card will work fine in any of our current phone models (as long as they are gsm/cingular/at&t...yada yada yada). Voice service will be instantly transfered to the phone and your data service will continue to work with the temporary phone's browser...Just remember, the opposite isn't true. You can't take the sim out of another phone and expect it to work in the iPhone without repeating iActivation. Hope this helps!

My ipod got stolen and cell phone too. i don't know the serial number

My iPod and cell phone got stolen. As I am travelling I cannot get access to my serial number and have no idea how to reach Apple without a phone. How can I contact customer support online?
Thanks!

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Macworld 07: ipod and cell phone scratch proof casing?

for anyone who's attended the 2007 macworld. there was a booth for ipod and cell phone casing that was said to be scratch proof it was rubbery and clear. and when you put it on it doesnt look like you have a casing on it, the casing is completely clear.
i dont remember the name of the site they sell them on. im guessing along the lines of scratch proof and i believe the logo was neon green?!
i really want to buy one because im sick of getting my ipod and cell phones scratched.
it wasnt iskin either. i dont want graphics. just a clear case.

The iPods are so beautiful, but they are so easily scratched. However, there are lots of screen protectors out there. TrendyGeek has one that clings onto the screen and to the metal back of the iPod by static (you will soon discover that the metal back of the iPod is even EASIER to scratch and get fingerprints on!). They last about a month apiece, under rigorous conditions, and would have lasted longer for me if I wasn't an idiot and could put them on right.
Another solution for the metal back of the iPod is a mod I have tried myself and it works nicely. You can give it a brushed stainless steel look by rubbing an SOS pad up and down repeatedly on the back and on the sides. This shouldn't void your warranty. It looks cool, is more consistent with Apple's brushed metal theme, and it makes fingerprints and other small scratches less obvious. And if it ever does get scratched again, simply use the SOS pad again, and it looks good as new!
