NFL Mobile App Used Data When Not Open

I used the NFL Mobile App last night for the first time. I connected to my WIFI thinking it wouldn't use any data. But it did anyway. And then during the night when the app was closed it used a whole lot of data on its own. I have notifications turned off. Why should this be using data when not open? And why should it be using data when on WIFI?

To have to go to settings, apps, find the app and then force stop is
a lot of steps just to stop an app. Not really an acceptable solution.
However, I re-installed the app. Opened it to make sure it worked ok. Made
sure my WIFI was on during all this. Then went to apps and did a force stop.
Took several tries to get it to stop for some reason. Later I noticed my phone
seemed to be using a lot of battery for some reason. Re-booted phone to make
sure all apps had closed. Went back in and checked the NFL app. It was no
longer stopped. I force stopped it again. Took several tries. Waited a few minutes
and checked again. It was no longer stopped. For some reason it won’t stop. So
I had to un-install it again.
Not sure why all this is happening with this particular app, but I can’t take the
chance of inadvertent data or battery usage. So it will remain un-installed until
someone tells me the problem has been fixed. It’s a shame as since this is one
of the perks of my Verizon account, I feel I have been slighted. I can’t believe I’m
the only one having this issue.

  • Phone is using data when not in use. How do I make it stop?

    My iPhone 4S is using data when not in use. Any thoughts on how to make it stop?

    Hello Oakleymp
    You could always turn off cellular data in Settings to get it to stop using data while it is on standby. Another option to troubleshoot the issues is to reset all settings, go to Settings > General >Reset > Reset All Settings.

  • Certain apps use battery when not running

    I had noticed on my 3G, and potentially on my 4, that after installing certain apps, the battery goes down much quicker, without using the apps, or even the phone.
    I realise that certain apps do, by the nature of what they do, use more juice, but felt that even when they are not even used?
    2 apps that def sucked the life out of my phone, so i uninstalled where:
    the trainline app
    and
    Nextbuses app
    both in the UK. Can't explain why.
    Any one else found this? It's a shame since NExtbuses was really handy.

    Yes, When you turn on bluetooth you fire up another radio. That radio periodically searches for things to connect to. If you turn it off, your battery will last longer. Not sure if you'll notice the difference. I had a Motorola phone which could go an extra full day or two with Bluetooth off.
    If you use bluetooth, as I do, to automatically connect to your car when you get in, shutting it off is not a convenient option. If you rarely use it, then shut it off when not in use.

  • 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

  • Where can I find out which iphone apps use data?

    Hi
    My iphone has wi-fi 24/7, yet my data usage is over the limit. 
    Where can I find a listing of which iphone apps use data and not wi-fi? 
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    If your phone is on wifi, then almost all apps will use it.  The exceptions are those from your provider.  For example, AT&T apps will always use their network.  To determine if an app is using data, you need to install DataMan Pro.  Even then, you will only get general info and on an hourly basis. Use the process of elimination to figure it out.

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use  another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart

  • IPad Air not compatible with NFL Mobile app?

    Hello Verizon and community -
    I recently added an iPad Air to my Verizon wireless account, the biggest reason being so I can watch NFL network via the NFL Mobile app through Verizon. Come to find out after some trial and error that the iPad air is not compatible with the free access to NFL network via the app? See "compatible devices" here:  https://www.verizonwireless.com/insiders-guide/inside/nfl/
    Seems other applie iPad devices are compatible, including the apple iPad mini, but no iPad air for some reason.
    I have a Galaxy s3 on my account as well.  When I download the app on that device and start it, I get a popup saying that I have access to the content for free and I am able to stream the NFL network with no problems.  When I download the app to my iPad and open it, I do not get the same notification of access to the content. It opens and runs fine but if I try to tap the button to watch NFL network, it asks me to sign in with my cable provider instead of streaming.
    I'm wondering if compatibility for the iPad Air will be added anytime soon?

    Seems like if they really wanted to cash in they'd jump on making it
    available for the Air, as it's one of the more spendy of the tabs they have
    available. But I suppose that'd be too easy
    Unfortunately it's Comcast around my area and they don't play nice with
    others.  Not on the list of compatible cable providers.  Do Verizon rep's
    look at these posts or is it just for community?

  • How do I add an offline translation to the Bible app to use it when not connected to a network?

    How do I add an offline translation to the Bible app to use it when not connected to a network?

    You will need to contact the developer of the app and ask if that is possible. If not, you'll need to look for another app that doesn't require a network connection to function.

  • What exactly is using data and how can i keep it from using data when im not using my phone?

    So i have an iphone 4 and i have used a lot of data this month(like almost 2GB) and i have barely touched my phone outside of wifi areas. I always shut down any apps that use data like youtube, funnypics, facebook, etc. but i do play some games during my breaks at work but they dont require data to play so to my knowledge those games arent using data(or are they?) i just need some help figuring out exactly what on my phone is using data all the time so i can turn it off. Is it icloud? Emails on auto update? Offline game apps(minecraft, sonic dash, the Mr. Series games?) Do all apps use data regardless? Somebody please answer me. And No im not buying a bigger data plan. 2GB is my limit but it seems as though i am hitting that easily with my iphone but the rest of my familyis usually miles away from 2GB and they all have Samsung Galaxy S4s.

    My first stop would be in Settings > Cellular if you are on iOS 7.  This has a lot of goodstuff. you can turn off cellular data as a who, see your current usage and even see which apps have used data and how much.  You can even turn off individual apps form using cellular data (restricting them to wifi only).
    I hope this helps!

  • Do I use data when I read on my kindle app on my iPad

    Do I use data when I use my kindle app on my iPad

    You should only use data when you download the book. As I understand it your book is on your device and you read it from there. The only data usage I can think of is if you are doing their 'sync your book across your devices' then Device one would have to tell Device two 'she's on page 49 now'

  • Why do my 5c and 5s use data when I am on WiFi? And why does it show up in regular intervals of 6 hours? Very strange.

    I am really having problem controlling the data usage. It seems that iPhone 5c and 5s both use data when wifi is available. And plus, the data seems to be dumped all at once every 6 hours most of the time. I know I am neither uploading nor downloading 140MB over data at 7am. DOes anyone know how to control this?
    I switched off almost all background data usage (except messages). I am not on facebook etc. What is going on?

        Thanks for trying Jay's suggestion, zole. The iPhone should still be able to use WiFi to send and receive iMessages. By design though, Apple devices will turn off WiFi when the phone goes dormant (screen turns off) so if you are in the midst of downloading something or a new message comes in, the phone will be using the available mobile data by default.  You can turn cellular data on or off for individual applications http://vz.to/1IuZJIM instead of completely shutting off the cellular data. In that same section, you can see what applications may be using more cellular data than others to go into that specific app for settings (for example, if Facebook is using a lot of data, go into the application's settings and make sure the video autoplay is turned to WiFi only).

  • Ten dollars a month to watch "free" NFL mobile app

    Just admit it Verizon: you are going to make 3g users pay 10 dollars a month to watch the supposedly free NFL Mobile App.
    I read the hocus pocus post about data management etc.
    The bottom line is you are going to charge a fee to use a free app.

    Hi jac10,
    I apologize for any confusion surrounding the pricing of the NFL Mobile application. Please see pricing details below:
    When downloading NFL Mobile application fees apply differently depending on current promotions and mobile device type.
    ·          All phones receive Basic Features at no additional cost
    ·          4G devices receive Premium Features at no additional cost for 2011 Season (promotional)
    ·          Effective 10/01/2011, NFL Mobile requires $10 Verizon Video/V CAST Video subscription for users with 3G devices
    ·          Data usage is incurred while using NFL Mobile application and charged per the customer's data package
    When downloading the NFL Mobile Application:
    Customers are advised when accepting the end-user license agreement that a V CAST Video subscription is required to access video content.
    3G customers accessing NFL Mobile video content without a Verizon Video/V CAST Video subscription will see the option to self-provision Verizon Video/V CAST Video for $10 per month to receive the NFL Premium app.
    4G customers will receive free access to NFL Mobile video content through the end of the current NFL season (promotional).
