How come I have to off my Cellular Data for my Wi-Fi to work??

Off is off.
If you want the alrm to go off, the iphone must be on.  It will be in sleep mode which saves battery.
The blackberry was simply on standby mode, not off.  If it was off then the alrrm would not go off either.
Feel free to leave feedback for Apple.  Let them know you want a stand by feature

  • 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.

  • Something wrong in setting the cellular data for programs

    Since I update to iOS 7.0.4, the problem came out.
    There is something wrong in the settings. For example, I turned off the cellular data for Stocks. Then, when I came in again, the button is on. Other apps have the same problem. Only a few don't.
    I tried to restore the setting for the network, but the problem still there. I tried to restore all the settings, and it doesn't work.
    Finally, I restored my hardware, and restored my backup. It still don't work....
    Ps: There is only one profile in my phone, which is from Onavo. Does it matter?
    Is there anyone the same? Hoping for your help....THANKS..
    Can someone help me?.....

    Yesterday, I tried to backup my messages and photos and apps using the iTools, and I wiped all my settings and memory. Then, it worked !!
    Hope I can help~~
    PS: The apps need to be backup one by one. DO NOT USE ITUNES TO RESTORE YOUR BACKUP !!!

  • What does "use cellular data for" mean?

    In the settings, what happens if I turn on/off "use cellular data for?"

    For apps that require a data connection, if you enable that and you are not within range of a wifi node to use, the app will use cellular data which will count towards your cell plan's data usage.  If you turn that OFF, and there is no wifi available, the app will not work, but you also won't use any cellular data.
    so in the iTunes and App store settings, if you want to limit the stores to only use wifi, turn the "Use Cellular Data" option OFF (e.g. to avoid big downloads over cellular).

  • How come I can print off the Apple support page but not of my note book i n documents.

    How come I can print off the Apple support page but not off of note pad in my documents.

    No. It is not free unless the phone was originally purchased less than 90 days ago or you have an active AppleCare agreement.
    Where did you get the phone? This is almost always a symptom of a phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.

  • How come I have to put in a keychain password every time safari or mail is opened? Is there a way I can disable it or save the password so it doesn't pop up every time?

    How come I have to put in a keychain password every time safari or mail is opened? Is there a way I can disable it or save the password so it doesn't pop up every time? Also, I have my mail account set up from my Yahoo! account and every time I open mail, it asks for the password for my Yahoo! account. I have checked save this password to keychain and it persists on popping up repeatedly.

    You don't want to disable keychain (if there's even a good way to do so), since it stores stuff like certificates and the such.  It's quite useful.
    Anyways, Keychains>Preferences>First Aid.  Check Set Login Keychain as default.  When you login, it unlocks the keychain.
    That should help you.

  • How to turn off cellular data for exchange mail iphone 4 running on ios 7.1.1

    Hello,
    I am new to using iphone 4. I am able to turn off cellular data for most of my apps. But unable to find an option to turn off celullar data for exchange emails.
    Is this possible? please help.
    For now I am using the fetch method instead of push.

    What's not there on the 4S is the ability to specifically disable 3G data. You can disable all cellular data. Turning off 3G did NOT turn off cellular data. It just shut off 3G. You would still be connected to the EDGE data network if present.

  • What happens if I switch off the "Use Cellular Data for Facetime"?

    So I got a notice saying that my phone's storage was almost full which makes no sense to me because I barely have about 300 pictures on my phone, barely any apps, but I do have music. I have mail turned OFF, and I am always on WIFI. I don't know how this is a problem.
    So what would happen if I pressed the switch off button for the "Use Cellular Data for: facetime"?
    I use facetime A LOT with my friends WHILE ON WIFI but if this is causing my storage to go so full, I will do it.
    Please heLP!

    Using cellular data has nothing to do with the storage capacity on your phone. By turning it off you will only be able to FaceTime when your connected to wifi, thus saving you on your data plan if you do not have unlimited data from your carrier.
    You can go to settings > usage to view what is filling up the capacity of your phone. You should import and back up your pictures to your computer following the directions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • How do I get my iPhone to stop turning on cellular data for apps on its own?

    I have tried resetting on the iphone and resetting all settings. Nothing seems to be working. So far the only improvement is that my iphone stopped turning on cellular data for other apps but now, interestingly, it's turning on cellular data for all apple designed apps,e.g. Pages, App Store, Itunes Store, Facetime, Contacts, Calendar, Mail etc. Everytime I try to turn them off, it doesn't work. Please Help!!
    P.S. My phone is running ios7.

    Follow these directions, but pay attention to comment 1 regarding drafts. Best instructions I've seen on how to set gmail up as IMAP.

  • I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year.  I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost".

    I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year.  I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost".  I could swear the last time I used cellular data you would see the signal in the upper left corner and I only see "no service" there, I am in a location where I know I should have service.  Is there something I should do to my IPAD?  I tried resetting, I tried clearing cookies and history in Safari (after reading a post n these discussions).  I don't know what to do next. My IOS version is 6.1.3.  I did go into Network from the general tab and I see it says "SIM not provisioned".    HELP and Thank you in advance.

    Hello Theresa818,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like the cellular data will not activate for some reason on the iPad.
    I found this article that will help you resolve this issue here, named iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Models): Troubleshooting a cellular data connection, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4249
    Check for a carrier settings update.
    Update your iPad.
    Toggle the Cellular Data setting off and on under Settings > Cellular Data.
    Restart your iPad.
    Tap Settings > General > About. Locate the Carrier entry and make sure that your carrier is correct.
    If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Cellular Data > SIM PIN.
    Make sure you're in an area of good coverage. If the cellular data connection works in another area, contact your carrier to report the original affected area.
    Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Restore the iPad as new.
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, contact your carrier, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
    I know you may have done one or two of the steps here, so you can skip those.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • 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!

  • Do I have to turn on cellular data to make hands-free calls

    Do I have to turn on cellular data to make hands-free calls on the iPhone 6?  If so, REALLY, APPLE????  I have never had a smart phone and ALL of my low-tech phones allowed me to make hands-free calls and I did not have to use data (which is NOT free) to do it.  I know that I can ask Siri to make calls for me but how do I make hands-free calls when my data is turned off?

    Siri does indeed require internet access to function, so yes, you would need to have cellular data turned on

  • I cant make calls or receive and massage when off my cellular data after upgrading new version software

    ive tried to soft reset and network reset and the result is still the same..
    i hope u can help me solve my problem soon as possible..
    tq..........

    Try going to the recent apps by double clicking the home button, then touch and hold an app along the bottom of the screen until they all start to vibrate and a red circle with a minus sign appears on the corner of each.  Tap each red circle to dismiss each app.  Then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.
    If that does not help you can contact Apple support at the appropriate locality number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
