IMessage using Wifi when Roaming
Hi.
I am currently travelling to the US from Canada. When I am here I primarily turn my phone on airplane mode and then just connect to wifi.
Is it possible to send messages via iMessage to other iOS 5 users when only being connected to wifi and otherwise having my phone on airplane mode?
Should work just fine.

Will my 2012 Macbook pro retina automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?
Depends.
If you go in System Preferences / Network, you will see a list of all the network interfaces your current configuration has. If you click on the gear icon next to the minus sign, the drop menu will offer "Set Service Order...". There you can prioritize the order of use: Ethernet above Wi-Fi and wireless will be ignored if Ethernet is available.
Note that the Wi-Fi card will remain active and associated with an access point nonetheless. It just won't be used for communications by the OS and apps. -
IPad 2 continually using wifi when sleeping and on.
How can I find the program using the wifi when the iPad 2 is sleeping or on? I have closed all apps and restarted the ipad. iCloud is off. Soon as you turn it on it will connect to wifi and start using the internet connection. (uploading or download)

It's supposed to do that. You can turn off WiFi if you don't want it to do that. -
IOS 7 using wifi when plugged in
iPhone 4 user here, updated to iOS 7 and now when my phone is plugged in and connected to wifi it keeps using my wifi, iCloud is off wifi syncing is off so anyone has any idea whats using my wifi when connected ?
Same here. I have to manually kick off a sync, so have to go to my Mac. If I forget, I don't have any new items. I've also recently found that Podcasts no longer sync from iTunes, even once I start the sync manually.

Does imessage use data when not in a wifi conection?
how does imessage send a message? does it use the phone signal and send like a normal text message, or does it use the #g network and wifi conection? if it uses the 3g network how much data does it use?
It uses your data/wifi
Your phone knows when to switch from imessage to sms message because it knows when your texting whether or not the recipient has iOS5 or not if it does the bubbles will be blue(Data/WIFI) if is a regular text it will be green(TXT) hope this helps -
I've noticed this a few times now on my home network.
When I wake my iPhone from sleep (ie. the screen is off but the phone is on) I have noticed that the 3G icon is displayed for a second before the Airport (WiFi) icon appears. Does this mean that the iPhone 3G uses only the 3G network when sleeping and it only uses the WiFi network when 'awake'?
Has anyone else noticed this?

That is not a very useful response but thanks for your input...
Different carriers around the world have different arrangements for data. When I say 'non-existant' I'm talking about people that pay next to nothing for the phone plan and only get 5MB per month of data.
My argument is that if you're connected to your home network it would be *reasonable to assume* that ALL data is coming via your own network. There is nothing in the manual that would suggest otherwise. It should at least keep WiFi on if the iPhone is plugged in and charging.

Personally i don't care about other people's plans. Only my own. If it's not very useful, then stop asking stupid questions about when your not even using the phone. -
Using WIFI when phone service is interrupted
My phone service has been interrupted due to the recession. Is there a way I can still access my apps by using my WIFI? My computers are all connected to my WIFI, but the iPhone shows wifi connection all grayed out. If I go to settings > Choose a Network and choose my network (which is all grayed out), it is set to BootP and HTTP Proxy as Auto, but iPhone still does not connect through the WIFI.
Any solution? or am I just out of luck until Obama gives me one of the 16,000 IRS jobs coming up for health care LOL Well, I thought it was funny. Apparently, he's hiring! Private sector just isn't.I'm just guessing because I'm looking at a Treo 650, but you could try this:
Home > Sounds
For Application, choose Phone
Tap "Tones"
Change "Service Tone" to Off
Any luck? -
I find that the map only finds my location when abroad if I enable data roaming. I thought the whole point of having th downloadable maps was that you didn't need to use data when roaming. I have location services enabled and it works fine in my home country, the UK or when on wifi or when I enable data roaming. Is there anything else that I should do?
To clarify. I have now twice roamed with my 920 and the only way that it locates me on the map (which I had pre-downloaded for both countries before departure) was when I was on wifi or had data roaming enabled for over the air reception. From the reply I received it suggested that it would eventually find my location without enabling roaming, but does anyone have any idea how long this will take - and will the battery still be alive by then?
In contrast when roaming with my old iPhone 4S, using a Tom-Tom app, I did'nt have to enable data roaming and it worked very well. I was hoping that the 920 would be at least as good as this. -
I was just wondering if iMessage uses data when you are on the 3G network? And if it does, does anyone know how much data?
iMessage would use data when not connected to a WiFi network, but should use WiFi if it is connected as that is how it would work with the iPod Touch and iPad (non 3g) models.

Asha 302 doesn't want to use WiFi
So I'm a user of Nokia Asha 302 and though I generally love the phone, one problem just gives me nightmares.
Namely, I can't do almost anything requiring WiFi. The only thing that works is the stock browser - if I want to use the built-in email client, it gives me "connection error, please try again later" prompt. If i want to install opera - same thing, I can download the package from the Ovi Store but as soon as installation starts, it requires my GPRS connection rather than the WiF that it's connected to and which is working.
I have WiFi set as defaut and always select it as the desired connection method when asked to but it just doesn't work. How can I force the phone to use WiFi for such tasks and not my packets which I have to pay for?
I googled my head off and found absolutely nothing. The onky method I found involved adding some custom configs like "my web" and such and even though I followed the instructions, it hadn't helped a bit.
Could someone please tell me how to fix it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello,
Setting the mobile APN manually might help so that the phone will use WiFi when available. Please check these links for the steps required:

Nokia Messaging wont use WiFi-Connection
Im using version 9.6.0.12 of Nokia Messaging for emails on my N96 in german. The phone firmware is version 30.101.
Now the problem is: Ive configured my default access point so that every application first checks if there is one of my known WLANs in range, and if not, uses UMTS to connect to the web.
This works fine with most apps... but Nokia Messaging just ignores it and always establishes a UMTS connection when Ive set its access point to "Default".
I can force Nokia Messaging to use WiFi when I go to "settings -> general -> service info -> access point" and choose one of my WLANs there (instead of "Default"). But it is very impractical to change this setting every time I move to another location.
Is this a bug or is there some way to fix it?I have the same problem in my x6-00, although i can live without messaging, have all my email accounts configured and use them manually with wifi.
However, the problem is that the lonely planet and michelin guides in the ovi maps use nokia messaging when you click on an email link from there, and it therefore does not work, it says "Email account hasn't been set up yet".
Also, the nokia search does not work correctly if I use nokia messaging results, because it is not set up. This is very annoying because nokia search is great and I would like to use it to seach emails in my folders. If I don't look at search results from NM I can see results from messages (sms) and from Notes, but as soon as I try to look inside the NM results, immediately the Notes and sms messages results became blank.
Another irritating think about nokia email is that it gets all the email messages from IMAP servers, including those that have been marked for deletion or moved to a junk folder. There should be an option to ignore those. -
I have called my internet provider, my email server company and AT&T. All my settings are fine and everything was fine before the OS5 upgrade. I can send email using WiFi when I have my email host as the outgoing server and can send email 3G using ATT server only when on 3G. The phone is not switching back and forth servers from wi fi connection to 3G.
Hey there Jachin W.,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to your home Wi-Fi suddenly on 2 different iOS devices. I would be interested to know if the affected phones are able to connect to a different Wi-Fi connection, but barring that I would use the following article to help troubleshoot the devices and the Wi-Fi connection:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
And this section from toward the bottom if needed:
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

With my ipad should i use wifi or 3g?
I have an ipad 2 wifi + 3g. Should I use wifi when I am home or 3g. I get charged for my MB on 3g through my data plan, Do I get charged if I use my wifi at home?
The iPad will switch to WiFi if a WiFi signal is available. Conversely, if a WiFi signal is not available, it will switch to 3g. If you have a wireless network in your house, the iPad will use that first so there is no need to worry about MB charges, at least at home.

When using message on the iphone 5 does it ever use up data from your carrier, whether you are using wifi or carrier
When using iMessage, they use data. If you are connected to wifi, it will use your wifi data, which will have no affect on your cellular account. If you are not connected to wifi, you will use cellular data, which is charged against your carrier account.
