How do I force cellular data while on Wi-Fi

     Here is my problem:  I want to run airplay from my iphone to a stereo in my garage that is under my house.  I bought an airport express and put it in my garage and ran a 3.5 mm jack from it to my stereo.  The problem is the range on the airport extreme ***** and does not reach to my garage, which is 30 feet away down one level.  If I use the airport express as an extender I get horrible skipping, which is a known problem.  I can use the airport express as an "internet device" and stream to it.  The problem is the signal ***** in the garage and I have to put my iPhone in a closer room to get a strong enough signal.  The only solution I can think of is to use the airport express in the basement as a seperate network and then I will have a strong signal.  The downside to that is I have no internet to it.  Is there a way I can force the iphone to use cellular for data?
     I am sorely dissapointed that I have $200 of apple "It just works" routers and I can't use airplay.  I have tried different channels, and tried both wireless G and N.  I live in a wood framed house and have 0 wireless home phones.  I should have minimal interference.  My range of the airport extreme should be more then 30 or 40 feet.  Any help on this would be much appreciated.

I have a hard time buying "the configuration of my house" as an excuse for poor wifi signal.  I have friends that get signal from their router 100 feet from their house (non apple router), and I can't get it 30 feet inside through wood and plaster.  Either there is a settng or setup I am missing, or it is a lousy/faulty router.  I am not trying to bash apple, I enjoy all my apple producs.  It is jsut I have fought signal strenght/wifi setups since I switch to apple products.
How is it I cannot use the airport express as a wifi extender and still stream airplay.  Even with the 256kbs audio going from the express to the extreme and then back to the express (which is how it works from my understanding) that souldn't even be close to using available bandwith.  This is the only way I can get good signal in the basement.  I am just disappointed and frustraited.

    How do I use cellular data while talking on the phone?

    If your carrier supports it, you just use it like you would if you were not on the phone. Use a headset or put it on speaker, press the home button, and do whatever you want...
    If you use a CDMA carrier (Sprint, Verizon, etc.) then you can not use cellular data while on a voice call.

    How to subscribe a cellular data service in Iphone 4s

    If you did not edit the Cellular Data Network settings on your iPhone and you are unable to use Cellular Data Network services, try turning off and then turning on iPhone. If the issue persists, contact your carrier about the availability and provisioning of these services on your wireless account.

  • IPhone 5 stays connected to cellular data while cellular data disabled in settings.

    I am traveling to Europe from Canada and I have a huge issue with my phone not recognizing that it's cellular data is set to off.  tried shutting it off and resetting it but notihng works. It just stays connected to cellular network, I keep receiving messages (whch I am pretty sure I am paying for each time I receive one). My understanding, and previus experience, made me believe this was a simple on and off thing, and that the phone would then use only wifi signal.
    Please help, I have no idea how to be able to keep my phone useful when I am in wifi hotspots with out getting a huge bill.

    They're the regular green and gray (even while messaging contacts I use Messages with and I'm connected to wifi).
    Sorry, I think I explained it wrong in my title. I just mean, I am still connected to the cellular network and my phone is somehow ignoring being connected to wifi. It's showing full network bar and which provider I am connected to. I thought this would be diabled when I'm in cellular off. I just don't remember it being that way when I turned it off on my previous phone.

  • How do i force a data update for iCloud on a device?

    I am trying to view updates made to a pages file on a mobile device. The mobile device is NOT showing the changes made to the document. How can I force the update in info from iCloud? If I can not force an update how long does it take for changes made to show up on mobile devices?
    Notes:
    Pages file modified on iMac (with active wifi) saved to iCloud.
    Modifications not showing on iPad (with active wifi) in pages iCloud files.
    iMac pages file has been saved and closed. iPad still not showing modifications, which are extensive, after 20 min.
    HELP! I NEED THESE UPDATES TO BE SEAMLESS!
    I have restarted the iPad twice with no change in iCloud files list. What am I doing wrong?

    Hello kcswift,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like updates to documents are not updated to an iOS device. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • 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.

  • How do I restrict cellular data?

    I have my daughters iphone 4s restrictions set so that she can't modify the settings.  It is set for cellular data use to not allow changes; HOWEVER, when you go to the settings for cellular data it will let her cut it back on? Help please?

    OK
    You cannot turn off the Cellular Data switch and then block any changes in the restriction section, but you can do nearly the same thing.
    1. Settings > Cellular then slide down and turn off cellular data for all separate apps
    2. Settings > General > Restrictions > Allow Changes > Cellular Data Use > Don't Allow Changes
    Now your daughter will use only wifi for her favourite apps

  • How to delete my personal data while activate the lost mode?

    My Iphone is stolen. I already actiivate lost mode, but my device is offline.
    could i erase my personal data without deactivate the stolen mode.
    i want my device still still lock (forever) and the thief cannot use my iphone; but i want to delete my personal data.
    Is it possible to delete my prsonal data whithout stop the lost mode?
    Please help me... Thank you

    You can use the Find My iPhone erase feature and the thief would not be able to ever use the phone as long as you don't also remove the device from your account. As with everything in Find My Phone, the phone will have to be on and online for the erase to happen. The quotation below is from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
    Erase your device. To prevent anyone else from accessing the data on your missing device, you can erase it remotely. When you erase your device, all of your information will be deleted from the device, and you won't be able to locate it using Find My iPhone. After you erase a device, you can't track it. If you remove the device from your account after you erase it, Activation Lock will be turned off. This allows another person to activate and use your device.

  • Cellular data usage spiking while using WIFI

    Over the last couple of months, we have noticed a HUGE spike in our Cellular Data usage.  We have had an iPhone 5 for a little over a year and have always been under our 2GB limit.  However, during October our "usage" spiked to almost 4GB resulting in additional charges.  In November, we saw our "usage" spike to almost 5GB.  We do not stream music nor videos and have gone as far as to turn off data for apps and images on emails.  Additionally, we use WIFI at home with multiple access points to ensure complete coverage.  This is maddening and extremely frustrating knowing we have not drastically changed our usage and have most likely decreased our usage based on our awareness of the issue.  Verizon's solutions are to increase our plan, turn off cellular data while on WIFI, and wipe the phone.  All of which are not acceptable.  The suggestion that 4G results in higher data usage than 3G is just ridiculous.  I will be watching our usage this month very closely and refuse to pay any overages.  If it continues to climb, I will make my voice heard the only other way I know how by walking to another carrier.  I have been a Verizon supporter and customer for almost 10 years however, this is unacceptable.

    My findings on the matter are summarized here...
