IPhone 6 Plus cellular data warning

I have a new iPhone 6 Plus. My plan with Verizon is for 250mb/ month as I use little data. I work in an area that has very bad cell phone service as well. If I leave cellular data turned on the battery of the phone drains at the rate of about 20% an hour. For those 2 reasons the vast majority of the time I keep cellular data turned off unless I need it at the time. If I am not on WiFi at the time anytime I try to open any app, even the settings app, or switch apps I get a warning that cellular data is turned off. I am very aware that cellular data is turned off as I have it turned off on purpose. I don’t need to be reminded every time I open every app or switch between apps that it is turned off. I often bounce between apps frequently and the alert messages are not wanted, not needed, and extremely annoying. How do I stop these pop up alerts once and for all without having to turn cellular data on which is not an option as it kills the battery at work and the operating system uses too much data that drains my small allotment of monthly data? This was bad enough on the iPhone 5 running iOS 7 but has escalated greatly on iOS 8.

I did not see how to edit my post. I'm on Verizon. I have tried on Wifi and on cell tower. I can get on safari with no problem. I'm using ISO 8.1

Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

We have cell data plan.
I have other phones (4s) and can see "Find Phone" App under Cellular Data and can turn on/off. But the problem phone does not have "Find IPhone" to be able toturn on/off. I made sure app is running when i go to Cellular Data. I guess the question is why do Apps show up under Cellular Data to be able to turn on/off? I thought if the app was made for Cellular Data it automatically showed up under Cellular Data.

Umm I just got this iPhone 5 and cellular data is not working, can't access apps, heck can't even download any and Safari...ummm yeah not happening. I'm with Sprint if that makes any difference.

Are you in an area where there is no coverage?
You can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
If that doesn't help, then yOu'll need to contact Sprint again.

Iphone 5 excessive cellular data usage

I am a new iPhone user and I am a bit concerned for how fast my phone burns through data. I have an iPhone 5, ios 7.0.4, and my cellphone provider is Fido in Canada (May be irrelevant info). I manually turn cellular data off whenever it's not in use. At times where I use wifi (which is about 98% of the time), I never leave cellular data on at the same time. So, I have 2 issues:
1) In system services under Cellular data usage, "iTunes Accounts" seems to be the top user of data. I looked at some previous discussions on this matter and many have said that turning off iCloud would do the trick, as well as turning off 'push'. However, I have never had my iCloud account nor "iTunes and App store," logged on. I have 'updates' and 'use cellular data' turned off as well for this feature. On top of that, under "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars' I have Fetch New Data set as 'hourly' instead of "Push". So why is it that my under system services, 'iTunes Accounts" still jumps up a few hundred kb whenever I DO have cellular data turned on.
2) How much data does the Facebook App use? Lets say I turn cellular data on, then I open up the Facebook App, and I scroll down my news feed. I do not select any pictures, videos, or profiles. I then check my data usage and somehow I burned 4mb on this specific app! I understand images take up more usage but I find that a bit suspicious.
Of course, this isn't the only app that seems to be hogging data. It's just amazing how other phone users (iphones and android users) can just leave their data on without their data randomly draining.

You are welcome
Usually data consumed by system services is on the higher side.
I would suggest reseting the data counter and then checking again after few hours to know the real culprit.
To reset the counter, there's an option "Reset Statistics", just under the list we discussed before.
This way you would get to know which app is using your data righ now.

My iphone 5 uses cellular data even when in WIFI mode. I have an iPhone 3 and 4s and both of those appear to be OK. How do I stop this?

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,
Sterling

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.

How to download and install ios 8.3 on iphone by using cellular data

my iphone 4s is only giving the option to download and install ios 8.3 by wifi only and not by use of cellular data.

Hi If you don't have WiFi at home go to a cafe or shopping center where they have free Wifi or an Apple shop. Cheers Brian

Iphone constantly loses Cellular Data APN settings - PLEASE HELP

HI
I bought a 16gb 3gs iphone and contract from tesco just before Xmas. The settings I have used for APN and MMS are:
prepay.tesco-mobile.com / tescowap / password
Unfortunately the iPhone has an annoying habit of reverting to: idata.o2.co.uk / vertigo / password
Has this happening to anyone else how do I fix it??? This is the 2nd iPhone since the 17th Dec I have had that is doing the same thing.
;-(

I sent my 32gb 3gs pay-as-you-go iphone back to tesco to repair this self same problem. I received a letter in which tesco admits (and I quote) "Your phone has been examined by one of our engineers and unfortunately we have found that we are unable to carry out a satisfactory repair." They packaged a brand new iphone "to ensure you are not inconvenienced in any way." And, you guessed it, the replacement iphone has exactly the same problem of being unable to retain its cellular data network settings.
I believe tesco have been aware of this issue for some time, yet have carried on selling pay-as-you-go iphones in the hope they could find a resolution. Until today that is, when its customer care line started to announce pay-as-you-go iphones are no longer for sale - contract only. The tesco direct web site has now taken them off sale, but very quietly. They are still being advertised but you don't find out they are unavailable until you get to the the checkout.
I have persevered with tesco on the telephone (being passed from pillar to post) insisting that the iphone is unfit for purpose in that it does not provide - and has never been able to provide - the services promised. Today they agreed to give me my money back. Lets see if I get it.

Iphone 6 plus delivery date

I pre-ordered 2 iphone 6 plus phones on 9/12, when I ordered the ship date was 9/19, when I received my confirmation email the date was 10/7. When I check the order status online, there is no date and it says the order was processing. My credit card has still not been charged. Is there anyway to find out when my phones will actually be shipping?

Agreed!!! As I stated earlier, I placed my order at approx 3:40-45am EST 12th for the Space Grey 64GB Plus. The VZW site was down for approx 30+ minutes right after 3am EST on the 12th as I started trying at 2:58am. That being said, I should have been good to go for the 19th. I even called and spoke to a rep at 4am EST and his exact words were, after he told me that even the VZW reps couldn't access their site for 30+ minutes either" You are good to go for delivery on the 19th" and also that I was somewhere between first 300-400, , for whatever that is worth. My confirmation email that came in at approx 4:50am, showed the 7th for the delivery date for some reason. Why should I have to wait weeks when I placed my order so early? I don't believe that VZW's pre order allocation of 6+ 64GB phones ran out in what was approx 15-20 minutes of available ordering time.
The story gets more interesting yesterday... late in the afternoon, I check my status with my pre order confirmation # and BOOM, up comes a tracking # that I click on and it takes me to site FedEx. At that point I am am happier, but check back later and notice that the Order # doesn't match mine. (I kept the sites open in my browser) I called VZW and they tell me they don't know how I got that as it wasn't my order and mine is still sitting at "Your order is in process and Shipping Date - Not available at this time. One of the CS reps said I should feel lucky as my confirmation email states a deliver date of the 7th. (BTW - That tracking # shows this morning that is destined to go to Hawaii, so obviously not mine) It wasn't showing the destination yesterday.
That all being said, it may be time to cancel my order and leave Big Red. I've had my phone # and started with Bell Atlantic Mobile back in 1993 or 94, which went on to become Verizon. I stayed with them until the iPhone 3G came out and switched to AT&T. They were the only carrier with the iPhone at that time. I went on to pre-order the iPhone 4 with AT&T a few years back and it went as smoothly as could be, I ordered as soon as the pre-order opened, got a confirmation email and my status never changed and I received the phone on the release date. I'm also tired of being treated like a lemming. I will also NEVER take part in a fiasco like this ever again., I realize it must be a logistical nightmare with tons of people clammering to buy these phones, but if you don't have any more available for pre order and delivery on the 19th, then say that and say, we are sold out of the 9/19 delivery date and that if you order, it will be back ordered, which is ultimately what has taken place.

Iphone 6 plus excessive data usage

I got a iPhone 6 plus about too weeks ago. I realise I have been using a lot of data compared to my previous Samsung ativ. Previously I was using about 500-700mb a month on a 1gb data plan. I signed Vodafone for a 1.5gb data plan thinking it should be enough, only 4 days into my month I have already gone through 300mb with minimal usage. I have already turned off Itune updates, Icloud, background app refresh and I even tried turning off 4g. It is still using a lot of data, I have been tracking where the excessive data is coming from. Safari is the main course, I would go into 5-10 webpages and it would use 3-6mb and Facebook nearly uses 1mb for a refresh update. Everything else seem to be quite normal usage except those 2apps. I have tried restoring the phone to factory and restore my backup. At the moment it seems like Facebook seem to use a bit less but Safari is still the same. What can I do?

I did not see how to edit my post. I'm on Verizon. I have tried on Wifi and on cell tower. I can get on safari with no problem. I'm using ISO 8.1

Anyone else have iPhone 6 Plus ship dates of 11/7?

I ordered a 64GB iPhone 6 plus on 10/13 with 11/7 ship date. Nothing yet from verizon hoping it comes earlier than that though. Have been hearing alot of people getting further delays.
Please feel free to share your experiences about your order with order/ ship dates

I don't want to discourage you to much, but I had one due by 10-31-2014 and it was confirmed by Verizon on 10-29-2014 to be on schedule. Then Friday afternoon (10-31-2014) I spent an hour and 10 minutes on the phone to verify status. The said it would ship today 11-03-2014 to Wednesday 11-05-2014, and said it did come in at Verizon that day 10-31-2014.
The shocker was at 7:30pm EST time i received an e-mail stating my phone would not ship until 11-21-2014.
Do not trust it will be coming until you get a tracking number......
I have never had this bad of service with Verizon, and I have been with them for well over 10 years now. I wish you the best on your phone delivery, they have yet to explain to me how mine got pushed out to Thanksgiving???

Iphone 6 Plus ship dates

I pre-ordered the iphone 6 plus on 9/15. I had an original ship date of 10/21 and now it has been pushed back to 10/24. I know people who ordered after me and have already received theirs. After staying on hold forever, I too was disconnected. When I called to check the status it says received and activated? Has anyone else had the same issue, it seems Verizon is impossible to get in contact with for any answers.

MAC-IPHONE SYNC ISSUES / CELLULAR DATA ISSUES

I'll try to be as succinct as possible, please help, so frustrated!
I listen to about 50 podcasts per week because I am a DJ on the side. However, I can't stop my mac from syncing with my iPhone. My MacBook Air doesn't have a tonne of space, so its really an issue when 5-10 gigs are podcasts. So:
#1: how do I stop my mac from syncing with my iPhone for podcasts. I've turned off all automatic syncs, unchecked every box, unclicked "sync over wifi" etc. Still though, it feels to sync every time. Every time I remove the podcasts from my Mac, it instantly syncs to phone, and deletes everything. I've also disabled iCloud service except for "Find My iPhone". Really frustrating resubscribing to 50 podcasts for the xth number of times.
#2: to top it all off, I thought I'd download about 5 or 6 podcasts this morning before work so I could have enough just for the day to listen to tracks while doing my day job. All of the podcasts downloaded fully and are showing blue-balled in the menu waiting to be listened to. However, at work, and none of them will play without cellular data turned on. They are already downloaded to my phone but now my iPhone wants to stream them anyway? I'm already at 700 MB of a 2 GB monthly plan and its like 6 days into my new cycle.
Overall, I'm just ******. I don't know why Apple is getting the whole podcast thing so wrong. The communication between devices is not simple to fine-tune, and it seems they want their ecosystem on at all times. I could never switch from Apple because their products are in and of themselves very high quality. But this B.S. always connect, always force sync thing is getting a little old. MAKE IT MORE INTUITIVE. That's why I fell in love with you, don't drop the ball now.
Also, are there any alternative podcast apps, alternatives in general? I don't want a PC because I'm quite comfortable with the Apple suite for music production and I have a PC for work anyway.
If anybody could help turn this frown upside down that would be greatly appreciated. I will pay you in good karma.
Ciao ciao and thanks!

Updates!
#1: just realized today at work that my podcasts stopped updating on my iPhone. Clicking on unsubscribe on my Mac halted downloads on my iPhone as well. The journey continues. Lol screw you, Apple such a great company, but refuses to make the process of unlinking its devices impossible I'll have to look through the settings again when I have a bit more time. I'm sure there's away to unsync the two devices. It's syncing even when not connected by USB, and my "sync over wi-fi" is turned off. My guess is that its syncing through my Apple ID. Yay for B.S. lol. Updates as they come.
#2: resolved. Ensure that you don't have any podcasts lagging in your download dock. This will cause the app to want to stay connected to the internet in order to play anything back. My observation at least. Solution for me was to just stop download and try again later when connected to wi-fi.
Yours truly,

IPhone 4, iOS7, cellular data control by app doesn't include all apps

Settings | Cellular | Use Cellular Data for: [app list]
The ability to control which apps cannot use cellular data is really helpful, but on my iPhone 4, certain apps aren't appearing in the list, for example, YouTube and Instagram. I need to figure out how to turn off the cellular data for the apps missing from the list.
I did compare this to another iPhone 4, and an iPhone5 - the other 4 had the issue, but on the 5, all the apps were listed.

i'm guessing you used more than one iTunes store account to purchase content.
if that's the case, try authorizing your Mac to play/use the content purchased from the other iTS account(s).
that's basically very easy. all you have to do is +log out+ of one account (click on the account name in the Store window and select +sign out+ from the pop-up dialog) and into the other, and then they will both be authorized. when done, sign back into your usual account. you'll have to do that one time only.
