HT204023 Hotspot working with blocked data plan

We've blocked data usage through our provider on my sons phone. Data was restricted to wifi only. But then he began using the phones hotspot and his iPod to access the Internet. How is this possible? Data should be blocked so why does hotspot still work?

I cannot find anything that talks about restricting the hotspot. So how is his Internet restricted to wifi only? The only way that I can see to restrict the hotspot is to restrict it on the cellular side, but you cannot turn off cellular, nor is there a restriction in the Restrictions section. I'm guessing it has to do with how you have his Internet restricted. Is this something through the AT&T parent restrictions?

  • My iPhone 4 shows the carrier name, I can go online with my data plan, but there are no bars and I can't make phone calls.

    My iPhone 4 shows the carrier name, I can go online with my data plan, but there are no bars and I can't make phone calls.
    It worked for some time, less than a week, I made phone calls and all, and all of a sudden the problem mentioned above happened. Now I can't make any phone calls. I can go online with it, even with my Data plan, I can go to the app store (of course) but can't make any phone calls.
    Please help, this is frustrating.

    Did you already try the troubleshooting mentioned here? http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/calls/
    Also try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple lo comes up again. You will not lose any data doing this.

  • My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

    My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • Problem in working with Japanese data

    Hello,
    We have an application, which should work for both English and Japanese languages. Our application is working fine for English data but in case of Japanese, we are facing problems. In the application, there is a language setting, where the user can select either English or Japanese. This changes the language of the labels to English or Japanese. We are handling this thru' ResourceBundles. But the data that is entered can be independent of this. In English setting also, the data entered or diplayed could be Japanese. Now we are facing problems at vaious places -
    1. When we enter Japanese data and save it, it gets copied into the bean and if there is any error in the saving, the same data from bean comes back on the screen. This data doesn't appear properly in Japanese.
    2. When we try to retrieve the already saved data from database, it doesn't show poperly in Japanese.
    We are using our own 'toUnicode' function, which converts the data to Unicode before saving the data to database. Similarly, we have tried different encodings like SJIS / Shift_JIS / ISO-2022-JP at various places i.e. in 'Page' directive or in HTML Meta tag or various combinations of these two. Nothing is working reliably. Sometimes for some combination, data retained in the first case is correct but it can't be saved. Sometimes it works with Unicode, sometimes without Unicode. Some combination affects the Japanese labels as well. Otherwise the labels at least are displayed properly.
    The same code with just Shift_JIS setting in 'page' directive, worked well in IIS Server for both English and Japanese.
    What could be the problem in WebLogic? Does it matter if WL is installed on English or Japanese machine?
    Kindly answer ASAP, since the project is getting delayed.
    Thanking in anticipation...

  • Help Required: Working with relational data

    Hi,
    I'm looking for some advice
    Scenario
    We have a customer who has an SE relational database with Apex for transaction processing. They require reporting functionality and are debating whether to buy BI SE One or BI EE; they will not buy the enteprise edition database though.
    Questions
    Here are my questions:
    1. In order to use answers and dashboards, does the relational data have to be in a dimensional format. Is this reccommended.
    2. We were debating on whether to create data marts for various business requirements. Is this standard procedure for relational data (Which is not too complex)
    3. If the data has to be in a dimensional format, is this best modelled using warehouse builder or the model layer of the repository using BI Administrator. (Baring in mind that the customer is an SME using a SE database)
    The main problem where having, been fairly new to warehouse building, is that we dont know what the best path is to take when working with relational data. Do we create dimensional models? What should we use? Is a relational structure suitable enough?
    Can anyone shed light on our problems
    Regards
    Kevin

    1. In order to use Answers and Dashboards you do not need to have a Data Warehouse. It can report out of both Transactional database as well as a data warehouse.
    2. It depends on what your business requirements are. BI EE/SE1 does not require you to have data marts. Data Marts would give performance gains, would help you in visualizing the transactional data from a business standpoint, is a big plus but not a mandate. If you want to go that route of creating Datamarts, you can easily do that using BI SE1 since that gives you warehouse builder which can be both used as a data modelling tool and a ETL tool.
    3. Warehouse Builder is a ETL tool. It helps in you visualizing/deploying data warehouses in databases. But BI EE Admin tool is more of a logical dimension modelling tool wherein the facts and dimensions do not exist physically but the tool uses them to do the querying/processing.
    Since you are just starting, what you can do is to use BI EE directly on top of the transactional system for the time being. But as a long term solution you can start working on your data marts and as soon as they are ready you can port the BI EE on top of them rather than the transactional system.
    Thanks,
    Venkat

  • HT4157 I have an iPhone with a data plan through AT&T.  I just got an iPad.  Do I need to set up a separate data plan, or can I use my iPad under the plan I have set up for my iPhone?

    I just got an iPad, and am trying to figure out how to get it going.  I have an iPhone with a data plan through AT&amp;T.  Do I need to set up a separate account for the iPad, or can I use it under my existing data plan?

    You need a completely different data plan for your iPad which you set up on the device itself and it is billed to a credit/debit card. You cannot share other plans and the iPad account will not appear on your iPhone or any other AT&T account.

  • Xcelsiues 2008, working with live data help!!!

    Ok, so i have flynet designer for web services. All this is working correctly. i have setup a test query just to check everything is working so i just pulled out some customer info name, account number etc. I generated the webservice succesfully and i can browse to the website and enter a parameter and it returns results. So i know this part is working ok.
    So now im in xcelsius 2008, i add a new web service connection and it connects fine, at this point you have to select the cells where you want the data to go in the little excel spreadsheet panel. but nothing ever appears!!!!??? i dont know what i am doing wrong. has anyone had experience working with live data?

    In terms of timescale. I have till April to do this.
    I said 2 months cos things always come up. So, in terms of your application have you already:
    collected user requirements?
    developed and tested an appropriate database structure (tables, datatypes, triggers, views, etc...)?
    done any mock-up of some sort of the application pages and business process flows?
    gotten approval of any of the above?
    If you have all of this yet to complete - and you're new to databases, new to Oracle and new to HTML DB, and have more than a very simple application (10-15 pages) you may still be in over your head with this project.
    I'm not trying to discourage you from using HTML DB at all. It's a great tool and you can do some very cool stuff with it. And it's reputation as an Access killer is well deserved. It's just that you may not want to take on a critical time-sensitive project as your first.
    Also to consider - are you going to have anyone else helping out with it? If so, what strengths/weaknesses does that person bring to the project? Is it going to help you move faster? Or slow you down - because you're training and developing at the same time?

  • Working with Cyrillic Data

    Hi, We have a requirement where I have to work with Cyrillic data i.e. Russian data. I have to parse data based on specific fields.  I tried using match function but looks like it is having problem dealing with Cyrillic Russian data.  When I try to find an english word in a string then it works finebut when I try to find an Cyrillic character i.e. ул. or г. then I match function would not find this expression in the CYrillic string.
    i.e. match_pattern('Арбат ул.','Арбат ул\.') gives me 0
    Any idea how I can use BODS on function on Cyrillic data.
    Thanks,

    Should have not used escape character for dot. placing just dot works finein decode.

  • My friend has an iphone with no data plan, how do i send sms messages without my own iphone trying to send an imessage

    i have an iphone5 with a data plan, my friend has an iphone5 with no data plan, 
    how do i send sms messages to him without my own iphone trying to send an imessage
    im sure we can tap on the message and select "send as text or sms"
    but is there a setting that says 'if recipient has no data, then send as text' - so its more automated
    almost like the setting that says 'if i have no data then send sms'.

    I have an iPhone 5s with a data plan but I have iMessage turned off. Everyone I know with an iPhone has no problem sending me texts and they automatically go out as sms. If your friend doesn't want others to send messages via iMessage even when he has wi-fi access he can turn iMessage off in Settings > Messages.  If that doesn't resolve the issue see the quote below from (ignore the non-Apple phone references): Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone
    If you don't have access to your iPhone, or if you can't deactivate iMessage from your iPhone, please contact Apple Support. Support for this issue is free.

  • Tools required to install to work with Oracle Data warehouse

    Could anyone please guide me...as I am quite new to Oracle...
    till now I was working on Data warehousing using Microsoft tools i.e. (SSIS, SSRS, SSAS, SQL Server)
    So Please tell me which are the tools required to install to work with Oracle Data warehouse
    I came to know about OWB and OBIEE, but not sure what exactly these are ?

    In order to create and develop a webcenter portal application, you only need to install JDeveloper and download the WeBCenter extensions. That's true.
    But this install does not include the WebCenter services like dicussions, document services, analytics,... If you want to use these and integrate them in your portal, then you would need to install the suite as described on my blog.

  • Can I use Apple TV with unlimited data plan for my IPad without any other internet connection?

    I Live in a weird area with no hardwired internet connection.
    My only internet connection is my iPad Air's UNLIMITED DATA plan from AT&T... It's LTE and it works great for my usual work.
    i Want to cancel stupid Direct TV acct and use Apple TV instead...
    IS it possible to subscribe a TV account online by using my ipad air's unlimited data plan and watch in on my TV via Apple TV without  using any other type of home network account?

    If you intend to use your iPads data plan then that will require use of the tethering/hot spot feature. As I said, you will not be able to use airplay, that needs a wifi LAN (home  network). This may change with IOS 8, but won't know for sure until the release.

  • Unable to use my Blackberry Tour in the UK even WITH Global data plan

    Hi,
    I just flew into the UK and was disappointed to see that my phone service or data service is not enabled.
    Prior to flying in(10-12 hours ago) I called Verizon customer service, and validated that I had a Global Blackberry Data Plan, and the customer service rep assured me that my phone will work without any issues once I get into the UK. So I didn't bother taking my "other" older AT&T phone(which I keep just in case) with me.
    Now I'm stuck here for 3 weeks without any phone or data service! It's pretty crippling..and the best part is, I'll be charged as per my monthly plan regardless, when I get back.
    Any help or suggestions?

    I have provided some information below, that may be helpful in using your Blackberry Tour in the U.K.
    After steps 1 and 2 below, if you are still receiving a red SOS symbol in the upper right hand corner of the device (your SIM card is either missing out of the device, or it has not been activated on the billing side).
    **The steps below are assuming the SIM card and Global plan were already activated.
    Step 1. – Ensure your device is set to Global or GSM (I have provided a link below on checking this setting)
    http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=24732&p=null
    ***If it is on Global already, ensure the “Data Services” section are “ON” and select GSM as the Network Technology (3g and 2g is preferred)
    ***Please note*** you will need to switch it back to Global once you are back in the United States.
    Step 2. Try power cycling the mobile network (I have provided a link below)
    http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=24687&p=null
    **leave the network off for 15-20 seconds and turn it back on.
    Step 3. Try a soft reset - Remove the battery off of  the device and leave it out for at least 2 minutes. Place the battery back in and wait for the device to fully boot up (it may take 2-5 minutes for the device to fully boot)
    Lastly, if you are still getting the SOS symbol in red, you can check to see if your device has a SIM card by doing the following:
    http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=30045&p=null
    **Use the via device option (if it has an 893144***** number then your SIM card is in the device).
    I hope this helps.
