Hotspot/Mobile Data randomly turns off

So frustrating. About once a day while using my mobile hotspot (I live on a boat so it's my only internet), my phone (HTC DNA) will stop receiving mobile data. It says I have full bars (4G LTE) but it won't connect to any webpages on either the phone or the computer and I have to restart my phone. Extremely frustrating during a game of starcraft and I disconnect 45 minutes in.

@cupcur20,
I love playing games on my phone too so I know how frustrating it can be to have your phone disconnect and interrupt your game.
Does this only happen when playing that specific game? Are you only having this issues at that location?
Please keep in mind that if you're only having this issue when on your boat the issue may be the location. Some times when near big bodies of water the signal may bounce off and cause these issues.
Please provide the zip code for your location and answers to the above questions so I can better assist you.

Why does Mobile Data notification keep coming up saying 'Mobile Data is turned off for "Numbers" and I have to click on OK to get rid of it? I KNOW it's turned off for that program because that is what I want it to be set at. What I DON'T want is to have

Why does Mobile Data notification keep coming up saying 'Mobile Data is turned off for "Numbers" and I have to click on OK to get rid of it? I KNOW it's turned off for that program because that is what I want it to be set at. What I DON'T want is to have to click on OK EVERY TIME I open the program when I'm away from wifi.

That is how it works in general, not just for Numbers. It irritates me on other apps at times, although I can see an argument that if it didn't do that then people would complain about missing functionality after they forgot they had turned data off for an app. At any rate, this is a user to user support forum and we can't do anything about it. If you want to make a suggestion to Apple, following is a place to do that: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Can I use gps applications like tomtom at the ipad mini with mobile data transfer turned off?

Need help about ipad mini.
The information on the apple web page refers that only the 3G versions have gps capabilities.
Wath is not clear to me is if the gps works only when coneted with 3G data transfer, or it works without it, if I download some software like tomtom or navigon.
Best regards
Pedro

You can use it without being connected to 3G. Only the 3G/4G iPads have a built-in GPS chip, the wifi-only models don't, and you can use apps such as TomTom with it which contain the maps, you don't need to be connected to 3G (or even have activated 3G on the iPad) or wifi to then use it.

Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off. It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button together while being plugged into the computer. What do I do?

Plug it into power for at least 15 minutes. If it doesn't automatically come on, try a reset... press the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

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.
Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.Stop the pop-up.

I upgraded my iPad (first gen) to iOS 5.1 and now it will randomly turn off. How can I fix this?

Thread title pretty much says it all.
Shortly after upgrading to iOS 5.1, my 1st gen iPad started randomly turning off when I wasn't using it.
-This has been occuring for over a month now.
-It has not yet turned off while I'm actually using it, only after I've left it along for awhile
-If I leave it plugged in, it doesn't turn off
-I have trouble turning it back on after this occurs. (I have to press/hold the button several times before it will finally turn on)
-I've noticed that a lot of the time when I turn it back on, it will initially (for a second or two) show a battery % that is lower than what it actually is (ex. it will show 72% when I turn it on but then jump up to 90% after a second or two)
Seems to me like it's something related to iOS 5.1 that my iPad doesn't like, likely a batter issue. Although having trouble turning it back on would lead me to believe it might be something more. It is an iPad 1 so maybe it's just getting up there in mileage.
Any suggestions on what to do? I neglected to take any backups. Unless someone gives me other input, I'm planning on taking a backup of my current iPad and then restoring to factory settings just to see if that will solve this issue. Although that's going to be a pain in the butt to get all my apps and everything back. If I restore to factory settings, is there any way I can "upgrade" the to iOS 5.0 (or anything below the latest)?

No, you haven't lost anything. Simply sign into your iTunes account on the computer.
As for the device not syncing, what specially happens when you try to sync?

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!

I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

is it possible to change imei number?
i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Erase your device
Reactivate and use your device
This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

Particularly:
Battery does not charge
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.

My iphone randomly turned off out of nowhere. I was getting dressed, my phone was working one minute then literally the next it syopped now it wont charge i cant turn it on however the phone is on cause i called it and it rang. What to do? help please. I tried putting it in DFU mode but my lock button doesnt work and my phone wont charge so i cant connect to itunes

There is no reason to put it in DFU mode, a reset should work. Although, without a working power button it is not possible to reset the device.
Sounds like it is time to replace the damaged device.

30 GB ipod randomly turns off.

I received a 30 GB ipod as a Christmas gift. At first it worked fine but a couple days ago it began to randomly turn off. I can turn it back on again but it continues to turn off on its own. Any suggestions ?

My 30 GB did this after I had added some music that I didn't purchase from the iTunes Store. Is this the case for you? Do you notice the iPod turning off when your listening to music that wasn't purchased from iTunes? If so, I just deleted the songs from the playlist and it never happened again. ~.~

Settings button (action) is on the left had side of the Cellular Data is Turned Off notification message put up while the OK button is present on the right hand side of the notification

The defualt notification message put up when launching iTunes on iPhone devices show that Cellular Data is Turned Off message is put up with Settings and OK button.
This seems to be inconsistent with the default 'Cancel' and 'Action' buttons in other notification messages from Apple.
Is it fine to consider the OK button first (left) and Settings(right) button next in the Cellular Data is Turned Off error message in the apps so that it is in line with the apple guidelines??
Please help with this.
Thanks you so much.

Try the basics from the manual. Restart, reset, restore.
