I have an iPhone 4 and have upgraded to iOS 6.  Based on posts regarding battery life after this update, I want my setting for "Use Cellular Data for" iCloud Documents to remain off.  However, it keeps turning back on...can I avoid this?

I also wanted to note that this setting goes back to On even if I have not turned off the phone...but it also does this when the phone is turned off and then back on.

I am seeing the exact same thing on iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
Steps to reproduce:
In Settings:General:Celluar, check to be sure the following is off:
iCloud Documents
iTunes
Passbook Updates
Reading List
Check back to the same screen after 5 minutes (while not on Wifi) and iCloud Documents is back on.
It's burning through data like mad.
I know I could kill iCloud on my devices or turn off Cellular data, but neither is a solution.
Apple, are you aware of this? I think most people assume that users just don't know how to turn this off. That's not the case, it's coming back on by itself.

  • "use cellular data for" apps keep turning back on

    ie. go in, slide bar from green to off for facetime, youtube, etc...go out of Cellular, back in, and those apps show green for "use cellular data for". 
    At first I thought it was an issue with some versions of Angry Birds, as they don't all do this.  Then realized facetime, youtube, facebook, etc.. all do this.
    Works fine on two other iphones.   Running latest ios on 4S
    The fact it doesn't do it for all apps is what I find is strange.  Thought at first it was an issue with Rovio apps, but then realized even facetime does this.
    Thanks

    I'd like to know why there is not solution to this.  I think I'll just remove all those apps that are turning their 'use cellular' data back on.  I only cared because when my kid plays angry birds, my cellular data was being used for videos.  Oh well, I guess I'll have to remove apps or get a new data plan.

  • I have an iphone and have just bought an ipad, the apps i have paid for will they be free to download on my ipad

    i have an iphone and have just bought an ipad, the apps i have paid for on my iphone will they be free to download or sync to my ipad?

    One thing you may notice when you do install them on the iPad, is they are not optimized for the higher resolution screen on the iPad versus the iPhone.  You can still use them, but you  may want to search the app store and see if there is a HD or iPad optimized version (although you may have to buy that as most such apps are not free upgrades, but separate purchases).

  • I have an iphone and have two email accounts linked to it.  I want one of the email accounts to BCC myself but don't want the other one to do it.  How do I set that up?

    I have an iphone and have two email accounts linked to it.  I want one of the email accounts to BCC myself but I don't want the other email account to do that.  How do I do that?

    If the picture was in your photo stream you can sign into the iCloud account in Settings>iCloud and turn on photo stream to see/copy it.  If it was only in the iCloud backup you can't restore just the picture; you have to restore the entire backup.  Restoring a backup is all or nothing.

    Hello Sophie59
    You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account. Check out the article below for further troubleshooting and emails setup options.

  • Iphone 5 - "use cellular data for" option only shows Facetime and Passbook

    I have an iphone 5 and I am trying to manage my cellular data usage,
    When I go into Settings - Cellular and I look at the "use cellular data for" option, there are only 2 apps on the list Facetime and Passbook.
    I have seen other posts online that show a long list of apps that you can toggle Cellular data on and off.
    How can I see a longer list of apps.

    In Settings/General/Restrictions if you tap on Cellular Data Use there should be 2 options: Allow Changes or Don't Allow Changes. If you don't see these options is that where you see "Cellular data is turned off for 'Setting'?
    Do you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on your phone? If so your administrator may have added an override on this setting.

  • On iPhone 5c iOS 8.2, I go to settings, cellular, use cellular data for: Under "use cell data for are my apps but they are greyed out how can I ungrey them??

    iOS 8.2 on iPhone 5c, goto settings, cellular, use cellular data for: all my apps under "use cellular data for" are greyed out. I've restart and hard reset. Looked thru all settings. Can someone help??

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, did you try to switch off Cellular Data, restart the phone and switch it back on again?

  • After enabling cellular data, i am receiving mails even if disable "use cellular data for mail", due to this data usage usage use is more, if we have fix please let me know

    Phone Model and OS
    Model - iphone 5
    IOS 8.0.2
    Problem Description
    After enabling cellular data, i am receiving mails even if we disable "use cellular data for mail", due to this data usage usage use is more, if we have fix please let me know.
    Steps:
    1. Enable Cellular Data
    2. Disable mail on "use cellular data for mail
    3. check whether mail is received or not
    tried multiple times and i am getting more billing amount because of data usage

    Mail isn't the only app using data. Turning it off there has no effect whatsoever on whether the rest of iOS or other apps you have installed. In fact most apps use data these days, at a minimum for Notifications and often for gameplay and other features.

  • HT201299 Apps in Green in 'use cellular data for..' cannot be turned off?

    Why does an app in 'use cellular data for..' keeps on going to Green eventhough I already swiped it off? It keeps coming back.

    First thing and easiest thing to try is a device reset:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Siri can't find music unless I enable use cellular data for Music

    I have an iPhone 4S with the latest IOS.  I ask Siri to play music but "she" can't find it unless I "enable" Use Cellular Data for Music.
    As soon as I enabled this setting in the Settings -> Cellular section Siri could find and play the music.
    I certainly don't understand why this is happening.  Why isn't Siri able to just find what is local to my iPhone and play the music.
    Can someone enlighten me on why this would happen?

    Hi Chris,
    Songs are on the iPhone - there is no cloud symbol (I'm familiar with that as well). 
    I've updated my signature - I am running the latest OSX and IOS (thanks for reminding me).

  • 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

  • Why my apps can't be disable on USE CELLULAR DATA FOR under Cellular settings

    I came across an issue that my apps tend to stay on ( enable ) even when I disabled it manually, it will turn back on soon after, this can cause certain people data overage and extra data cost they did not expect. I always check my settings daily because I play with my phone numerous times a day so I noticed any changes or differences. So after I had done probably most people have tried, reset/restart the phone, check any latest OS updates, double check any settings, reset network settings, turn off and on data, turn on and off airplane mode, the conclusion is nothing. So I thought maybe i should try one app that I know kept turning back on when I disabled it, did the updates on the appstore, went back to the settings and I was able to turn on and off, tried the second app just to make sure my  assumption works, updated the newest version on appstore, it works. So I decided to update all of the apps, then the problem is FIXED ! I hope this solve people's issue. Now I am able to manually disable and enable any app under USE CELLULAR DATA FOR,It was lucky guess for me and it work.

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, did you try to switch off Cellular Data, restart the phone and switch it back on again?

  • HT1688 iPhone 5S, Settings Cellular Use Cellular Data For Apps - Not Updating

    I have iPhone 5S iOS 7.0.4 with AT&T Contractual Plan.
    When I change any settings in Settings > Cellular > Use Cellular Data For to disable or enable apps to use cellular data. And, if I exit and enter again it shows the old settings.
    Also Call Time > Current Period is not updating.
    This is happening for last one week. I have also noticed heavy cellular data usage for last one week.
    I have reset the phone as a new phone this it is solved, but if I restore from my backup, then the problem is returning again. Even I have deleted some apps, but it doesnot help.
    Please help me to solve this.

    Call AT&T - it seems they are forcing their own settings on you.
