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.

  • How much free space is needed to update an iPhone to iOS 6 using WiFi?

    I have an iPhone 4 and want to know how much free space is necessary to update to iOS 6 using WiFi (not through a computer). I updated another iPhone with a MacBook Pro and it stated that I needed 2.5 GB of free space. My son has the other iPhone and he has to update via WiFi.
    thanks

    I think it might be different depending on what version you're running at the moment.
    I upgraded my iPhone 4 with 5.1.1 to iOS 6 and it was about a 800 MB download by WiFi.

  • Will my Mac automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?

    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.

  • After iOS6 upgrade iPhone 4s no longer automatically syncs by wifi when plugged in

    My iPhone 4S has always synced via WiFi automatically when I plug it into the USP on my iMac to charge. After the upgrade to iOS6, when I plug the phone into the USB cable, it mounts on iPhoto and iTunes (I can see the device), and the photos sync to iPhoto. But the phone does *not* sync automatically by WiFi. I can choose it in iTunes and manually click sync and it will sync. But until the iOS6 upgrade, it would sync automatically when plugged in in my office with WiFi. This is annoying because I often forget to manually sync just assuming the phone is up-to-date because it has been charging in my office with WiFi (as it always did). Then I find myself on an airplane and none of the Podcasts or Music has synced (and no WiFi on the plane to get things from the cloud). This was never an issue until iOS6, and I haven't changed any settings other than a straight upgrade. Is there some new setting in iOS6 I need to change to go back to the old behavior of automatically syncing when plugged into USB to charge in my office with WiFi? Any help or suggestions would be truly appreciated.

  • 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.

  • Not using WiFi when 'asleep'

    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?
    Regards,
    Paul Martin

    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.

  • Pavilion 15-n276sa Using Battery When Plugged In

    I'm using the Pavilion 15-n276sa on Windows 8.1 I got under a year ago, and when I began to use it this morning, I noticed that although it was plugged in, the laptop did not register it, but it still said 100% charged. I left the battery to go down for a while (to 93%) and plugged it back in, but it was stuck on 93% after that- it did not increase or decrease. I don't have the "Plugged in, not charging" message, the icon suggests I am using the battery as though the laptop was not plugged in at all.  I've turned my laptop off, unplugged it, taken the battery out etc, but it's still not charging.
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    Sounds strange check whether you have plugged it correctly. Or may be the problems with the power cord . I think you should wait until a hp expert replies

  • IPhone 4S with iOs 8 dropping wifi when unlocking the device

    Hi,
    my iPhone 4S with iOs 8 (8.1.3) is often dropping the wifi connection when unlocking the device. This started to happen only with iOs 8, iOs 7 was just fine.
    When unlocking the device after at least 2 minutes of inactivity, it seems to be weekly connected on the wireless network but then it drops the connection and reconnects back again at full power. This happens:
    - really, really often, but not always;
    - with any access point I tried (different wireless chipsets), both on DHCP and static addressing
    - with any wireless channel
    - both on 802.11g and 802.11n
    - rebooting the devices sometimes temporary fixes the problem (for 12-24 hours), sometimes it doesn't
    - restoring the firmware in DFU mode didn't help, neither did resetting all settings and restoring as new device.
    I really don't know how to fix this, I can't find anyone else having this problem on the Internet.
    Here's a video showing the problem:

    Thank you.

    Started happening to me on my IP5 with ios 8, on public & private wifi, completely random and was really frustrating, I forked out for a IP6 128gb and was ok but its started to happen again so it must be an IOS8 issue. The unit keeps dropping wifi and asking for passwords it knows, ignores your input then comes back by itsself after a few minutes
    To be honest Apple should be disgusted with themselves. The phone is pointless without wifi and if this is the solution it will not work as you cannot go to every router everywhere you go. $700 is a lot of cash for a useless bit of kit.

  • Automatically turn off wifi when plugged into LAN?

    What happens:
    I go to a site and put my nice MacBook Pro down. I then plug into their wired network and then discover that I am accessing the wrong network. I look up and notice that the wifi is hooking into a nearby access point.
    What I Expected:
    When I plug in a wired LAN, it should turn off wifi.
    Ciao!

    is it THAT much of an inconvenience to just click on the wifi symbol in the menu bar and select "Turn Airport Off" ?
    I performed extensive experiments and this can be accomplished in under 2 seconds, on average.
    I didn't say it's a hardship, but it's something the computer should be able to do automatically. Following rules like that are something computers are good at. I'm not.
    Taking the same argument, they could just have a drop down that lets you pick "better performance" or "better power savings" and you could click it your self when running off battery or not. But it makes much more sense to have the computer detect this situation and react accordingly.
    Do you have a helpful suggestion?
    Ciao!

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Can't Use iPhone when Plugged into certain USB Charger

    The screen becomes completely unresponsive: cant slide the 'unlock' button; it behaves really weirdly, erratically. Same with scrolling and choosing podcasts. The behaviour is just weird. This is with a UK 'triangular' USB charger.The cheaper 'egg-shaped' chargers (with the red LED on them) show no such problem. Anyone know what's going on?

    Sounds like a damaged device, take it to Apple for evaluation.
    If it's under warranty, they will replace it.
    If it's not under warranty, an Out of Warranty replacement is $149US.

  • After updating to OS5, my iphone 4 can not send mail using wi fi and 3G.. only 1 or the other. It will not switch servers from using ATT 3G server to then using WiFi

    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,
    Sterling
