IOS 6.0.1 still has a cellular data leak whilst using WiFi
Annoyingly, this problem which was introduced with iOS 6 is still present in the latest update. I am beyond tired of this now! My iphone was working *perfectly* in every sense of the word before these last couple of 'updates'! I have everything switched off except wifi and 3G and I have been testing to see if the leak still remains and it does. Today I lost 13Mb of data whilst browing newspapers over wifi for 2 hours. So I'm back to switching off my 3G/mobile data connection until this problem gets fixed. Will it ever be???
I have the same problem—and the dying battery to go along with it. However, reading the 6.0.1 update info suggests that this fix isn't in the update. Bummer.
I've been struggling with a poorly-performing phone for weeks now, and even got hit with an over-data charge from my carrier. Very disappointing. I know we're in the minority, but I'm getting ready to dump my iPhone and move to an iPod Touch. Cheaper and same functionality (since I can't leave the cell data on)!
Malignance, this has nothing to do with the carriers. It's a documented iOS 6 problem.

IPhone 5 cellular data charges while using wifi - Carrier AT&T
My iPhone 5 uses cellular data even when connected to wifi.i. Although some periods show data usage while I was home asleep, other periods were while I was awake and using the wifi with another computer so I know my home network was working during this time.
When I contacted ATT support I was told that this type of data usage was normal when using wifi since the iPhone 5 was advanced and used data at all times, even when associated with wifi networks. The suggested fix was that I disable cellular data to avoid charges. This answer is unacceptable to me since it defeats the purpose of owning a smart phone in the first place .If they are telling you it's supported, then take it to them for help Apple does not support it. They are NOT a supported carrier as far as Apple is concerned. They are NOT authorized to carry the iPhone. That doesn't mean it won't work, that means that Apple can't help you make it work. Talking to T-Mobile about how to get your phone working on an unsupported carrier is pointless. Talk to Metro PCS or go find a supported carrier... like T-Mobile.

After ios7, My iphone4 has gone dead twice in a time frame of around two months...even though its not happening very often but a two month Old phone going dead just after a New update is not acceptable.probably ios7 still has sum bugs dat need to be fixed...Can this bug expected to be fixed in the next update...
Hi 1283ar.
Unfortunately, iOS 7 is too hard to push for the iPhone 4 and therefore has a lot of effects turned off to try to get it to run as smoothly as possible.
However, it becomes better and better with each update coming but it's hard to do anything about the hardware on an already released phones.
If you still have trouble or think they are too hard. My tip is, if so, to restore your iPhone 4 and make a clean setup with no iCloud backup. But all your photos in a photostream so you can access it later. -
I have 3 iPhone5's with ios 6.1.2 that user cellular data when connected to wifi. Every hour to the minute even when no apps are running, iCloud is off, Ads are off, Diagnostics are off. Running on AT&T cellular network.

I just bought an iPhone 5 on the 21st of March. I ate through 850 MB's in 12 days. I read up on the issue of data consumption looking for tips to conserve data. I did not know there was a problem.
This morning I found out that I was leaking data very little, but daily it accumulates. I am in Barcelona, Spain. I do not have a contract, I am on a prepaid Yoigo carrier.
I happened upon an article/blog by Robert Parks at snnyc.com "problems persist in ios 6.1.2.".
Although his situation did not relate to me, I tried a few tests on my own to see if I could stop the data leak without turning off my celular data and possibly push notifications, I think I found a solution that might help someone:
In ios 6.1.3 goto Settings/Mail, Contacts,Calenders and scroll down to Calendars and turn off " New Invitation Alerts" and also turn off "Shared Calendar Alerts".
My Cellular Network Data seems to be behaving. I only see a change in MB used when I open an ap that uses data.

If my iphone is connected to the internet via wifi will it use my cellular data if I use it as a personal hotspot or will it use the wifi's internet???
The wireless on my laptop brokebut I can still connect to my phone when I plug it in. My iphone is connected to the wifi but is this being transfered onto the laptop or is it using up my data???Personal hotspot shares your cellular connection with other devices via cable, bluetooth or WiFi. If you turn on the hotspot, the phone will be disconnected from the WiFi network you are on and share access to the cellular connection. That's what it's for. It's using your data plan if that's what you're trying to do.

no cellular data tab . cannot use internet airtel gsm , iphone 4 factory unlocked plz tell me how to set the apn settings
There is no need to manually set the APN settings for Airtel. The settings are already in the phone since they are a supported carrier. if it's not working, contact Aritel.
Where did you get the phone? If it was hacked to illegally unlock it or jailbroken, that might explain why it does not work. -
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? -
please help

My iPhone 5 on iOS 6 uses 4x to 5x the data that was being used on my iPhone 4s. The old 4s and 3g (differnt numbers) seem to be OK. AT&T is getting rich off of the cellular data when in WIFI mode. How do I stop this?
Hello there MyAppleHasAWorm,
I was researching what might be causing the excessive data usage on the iPhone 5 and found some info that should help reign in the data. It is from our iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
Here is section 1 to get you started. I recommend sections 1, 3, and 5 if needed.
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next
All the best,

Hi, The subject is sort of self explanatory but for the last few months (not sure exactly when) i have had regular Firefox crashes, it seems to happen when i'm out of memory and FF has used all the available RAM.
I have a MBP with i7 and 8gig of RAM using the latest OSX 10.9.1 and latest FF 26. I always keep up to date with the software.
Usually i have about 20 or so tabs open and go back and forth between these. I have googled and read allot on this topic and most people recommend starting in safe mode, without add-ons , creating clean profile etc and i have done these but slowly i get back into the same issue even after a clean profile....
It seems for every FF update the memory usage increases....back in the day FF was extremely fast and efficient. Or maybe latest FF just wants to remember so much and save just to much old information which leads to these ridiculous amount of memory usage, i tend to go over 3-4gig RAM after half a day alone before it crashes and all my tabs are lost which is extremely frustrating. Is there a way to limit the memory usage?
Only helpful tips i have found so far that seems to remove allot of garbage from the cache and the footprint is going to about:memory and run the "minimize memory usage", this has been working great and so far after 2-3 hours its steady on 900meg (more or less) with 16 tabs open.
Isnt this something FF needs to do regularly to get rid of old stuff ? i saw youtube and many other old stuff in the cache which i was not using and caused FF to go over 2 gig or so before i run this so why isnt this automated? as a user i shouldnt need to care about such thins really. I also used Safari for a few weeks with same amount of tabs and it never goes over 800-900 meg.
I really hope you guys can explain and give me some tips as to how to limit the memory usage of FF and not the regular make a clean profile and generic tips. I really think the problem is FF and nothing else. I done extensive testing here and i'm using just a few add-ons

Sorry if i sound irritated but having to lose my tabs daily and being forced to bookmark my tabs constantly just in case FF crashes has been bugging me for a while now and i'm on the verge to switch browser but frankly there is no other browser as good as FF (offering same amount of plugins/add-ons) so i badly want to use FF if possible.
If you need any more info let me know.

I note that FlashPlayer 12 is now out. When you start testing I guess it would be best to test with that now.

IOS 5.1 using cellular data with no apps open
Just upgraded iphone 4s to iOS 5.1. Now when I am not connected to wifi, my cellular data usage is constant and rapid. No apps are open, no data usage that I am aware of. But when I check the cellular data usage, it goes up by about 1MB every minute. Just the day before on iOS 5.0, no cellular data would be used with all apps closed.
Iphone 3GS. updated to iOS 6.0.1 Friday. Data usage until then about 300MB
Sunday Morning around 4am. Phone incredibly hot even though connected to charger and home Wifi network. Usage exceeds 3GB for month and extra 3.5GB. Total usage in 12 hours 6.5GB.
Sunday afternoon after receiving message from AT&T about excess data, turned off Cellular Data and 3G and limited to only Wifi.
Monday evening 2GB cellular data. Total data usage in 2 days 9GB????? W/T/F ???
Even when 3G and cellular data is turned OFF, 2GB used up?
Now, turned OFF Cellular data and Wifi and using it as a regular phone with texting and calling. Maybe will buy a regular phone and be done with all these useless charges. Someone should be held accountable here.
PO. -
I got an iPhone and I noticed I was using data a lot quicker than I was with my android I had before it. I turned off the cellular but the number of "bars" or dots that are filled in and the service provider still show up at the top of the screen. Is it actually turned off or did it stay on?
The dots will still show when cellular data is turned off. You still have a cellular connection for phone calls and non iMessage texting and it is showing the strength of that connection.
Note that you can track what is using your cellular data by going to Settings > Cellular > Use Cellular Data For
and you can also turn off individual apps on that screen.
