Iphone 4 7.0.6 internet only works with wifi

I use an iphone 4 ios 7.0.6. Last week i got stuck on Apple logo and i restore from backup after that I can't connect to the internet or access any apps that need to connect with mobile internet unless I am using wifi. I can't find anything online that talks about this. Phone calls and texts sms still working but imessage and facetime usable with apple id only (my phone no. disappear). Also i have done 'reset network', 'cellular data is on" and contact my mobile carrier( they are trying to straighten out). I really need to get my phone back to normal. I can't find a troubleshooting checklist anywhere. Help me please.

This is definately an issue relating to your cellular data connectivity.  iMessage and FaceTime both need an active data connection (or wifi) to activate the phone number as well as fully functioning text messaging service.
It looks like you have tried a few things already to remedy your issue.  Once thing I would do next is backup your iPhone via iTunes (not iCloud) again and then restore it via iTunes and set it up as new and see if it can access the internet via cellular data (wifi off).  Also, test to see if you can activate iMessage & FaceTime with your phone number.  If all is working well at this point, then pplug it back into iTunes and cick Restore Backup (not Restore iPhone), then select your backup and continue.
If the issue does not go away when set up as new, notify your carrier as there is an issue occuring connecting service and it's not software related.  It could be something on the carrier's end or your SIM card.

  • Iphone 4 internet only works with wifi

    I have an iphone 4 (no 'S') and for some reason I can't connect to the internet or access any apps that need to connect unless I am using wifi.  It started after the most recent software update, but I can't find anything online that talks about it.  Phone calls and texts work with no problem.  I think I just need to make sure all of my settings are correct, but again, I can't find a troubleshooting checklist anywhere.  Can anyone help me??

    Have you tried resetting your network connections?  Setting => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings
    This will clear buffers and reconnect you to the nearest cell tower. (Or at least the one with the strongest signal in your area.)
    Also clear History, cookies and data in Safari.  Settings => Safari => Clear History, Clear Cookies and Data.

    Most of the current Apple Intel based computers are comparable in CPU speed. I don't think it is so much the model of laptop as it is the memory, and storage capacity of the machine. If you are going to use FCP on a regular basis, perhaps as a professional or semi-professional, then you should think about the maximum memory and a very large capacity internal disk drive. For instance, one hour of finished compressed video will take up about 1.5 to 2Gbytes of disk space. If you add up the raw footage and still imagery and audio, you'll use up your disk drive capacity real quick. So a hard disk on the order of 750Gbytes @ 7200rpms might be good for video editing. 5400RPMs might be slow to rendering times. Rendering a video might take up a lot of memory so more memory is better e.g. 8Gbytes.
    As a rule of thumb, once you get to about 80% of your disk drive or memory you'll see degradation of performance.
    You can check out macsales.com. THey have a menu system that will allow you to pick and choose from various alternatives. BTW, it's been said that although Macs are typically spec'd at a certain memory size, macsales.com found that Apple computers will actually support higher memory levels. That is, if 4Gbytes are spec'd, some machines support 6Gbytes. macsales.com will provide the guidance for you.
    You might also consider buying an external disk e.g. 500Gbytes to carry around with you for back-up or transport to another machine.

  • I have been unable make a FaceTime call with a 3G connection.  I get s message " You are not connected to wifi.". Does FaceTime only work with wifi?  It happened two different times, when calling a Mac laptop and an iPod which had wifi connections.

    I have been unable to use FaceTime on my iPad2 when I only have a 3G connection.  I get a message saying " You do are not
    connected to wifi."  Does it only work with wifi?

    "I have been unable to use FaceTime on my iPad2 when I only have a 3G connection"
    Correct.
    "I get a message saying " You do are not connected to wifi."  Does it only work with wifi?"

  • Internet only works on WIFI - 4g icons etc disappeared

    Hi guys,
    I have had a dig around online and can't seem to find a solution to my problem. My Sony Experia Z3 Compact had been working fine (probably for around 5 months) until recently. For some reason I can only access the Internet if I connect to WIFI - I don't get any 3g/4g etc icons at the top of the phone anymore say when I'm outside of WIFI. This problem has only just occured but it has been about two weeks now and it hasn't sorted itself out... I am fairly tech smart and have looked at all the obvious places in the Settings but can't seem to sort it.
    I did master reset my phone about 3 weeks ago (because it was being a bit slow / got annoyed and overreacted ha) but everything seemed fine after that (I think) and it has just suddenly started to play up on the Internet. The phone seems absolutely fine except for this one issue. I would just accept the problem because I normally use WIFI but having 4g sometimes can be a lifesaver so think its needed! ha
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have the same problem on my SONY Xperia Z3 Dual:
    No mobile internet when disabling WIFI or exiting a WIFI zone. However, the mobile internet works when I start the phone with WIFI disabled.
    I tried the following without success:
    1) resend and installed configuration SMS for Internet, MMS, and WAP settings from my mobile service provider.
    2) downloaded the Internetsettings as suggested above. I was asked for which net provider I want to download the Internetsettings, and chose the general net of my service provider)
    Can you help?
    Many thanks in advance.

Check your connection and try again. The request timed out."

  • Iphone 4 OS5 bluetooth in car only works with music no media any advice?

    Hi, I have an iphone4 connected to my car bluetooth and its fine when playing music but the audio connection is paused when i try to play other audio (like VLC media player) through the system. i had no problem doing this before i upgraded to OS5.any ideas or has anyone experienced this? I already repaired and still not working. When I switch between 'music' and the media player the audio plays for about half a second but then it stops as the music automatically pauses and mutes the audio.

    By the way the media player is an app in the iphone to play videos.
    Cheers

  • Apps only work with WiFi ... Is this correct?

    I just traded my iPod Touch in for an iPhone ... and I thought that I would be able to access e-mail, facebook, twitter (and all my other addictive apps) through the at&t network ... but they only seem to work when I'm connected to a WiFi network. Could this have something to do with transferring all my info from my iPod into my iPhone? How can I fix it?
    Thanks for you help

    You should be able to access the web and use the internet (with all of your apps) without Wi-Fi. AT&T's 3G, EDGE, and GPRS data networks access the internet. You should call AT&T or go to a retail store to find out if there is a problem with your account, like the data plan is missing or something.

    I already updated the blackberry software with my PC
    PLEASE HELP! Obviously I don't have wireless connection everywhere i go, so i'm incomunicated
    The phone features work fine (regular SMS,  I can call and receive calls)
    What could be happening? 
    Thanks for your reply

    When you upgrade the OS, you MUST ensure that you aselect the options to wipe all existing appliucations from the phone, otherwsie it will only upgrade apps that can be upgraded.
    Meaning it wont refresh a corrupt OS if its the same version...

  • Samsung Galaxy s4 only works with wifi connection. No mobile connection available?

    I can't connect to the internet unless it's thru a wifi connection.  Just started having this problem yesterday, 10/19/2014.

    There could be an outage in your area.  One thing you could try is resetting your SIM card, i.e., turn off the phone, remove the SIM card (be careful not to touch the gold contacts), wait a minute or two, then reinsert the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and allow it time to establish a fresh network connection.

  • Okay so my iphone says its connected to the internet but the internet only works for games so i cant use things like facebook twitter or youtube PLZ TELL ME HOW TO FIX THISf

    Okay so my iphone says its connected to the internet but the internet only works for games so i cant use things like facebook twitter or youtube PLZ TELL ME HOW TO FIX THISf by the way it an iphone 4s and i have never encountered this problem before my dads iphone is the same after we updated to ios 8.1.1 but my mum hasnt updated yet and hers is fine

    If deleting then reinstalling the apps doesn't work, then contact the app developer for support.
    It sounds, though, like your internet connection is simply very slow.
    Try making a backup, then restoring the iPhone as new, and testing again.
