Turning off data services

Hi, I was just wondering why you can't use wi-fi when you select to turn data services off. The problem is, is that for this 1 month I don't have unlimited data so need to make sure I don't spend much. Also will any services try to use the data service without user interaction? Thanks for your help

Whenever i turn data services off though it seems to also turn wi-fi off somehow.
It connects to a network however whenever i try to use anything it comes up with 'Unable to connect to the internet, please try again later.' The wi-fi diagnostics menu also says that the 'IP address no longer valid'
Whenever i turn data services back on wi-fi goes back to normal. Weird.
I have a feeling that you don't have the browser set as a Hotspot browser, then.
Even if you turn off Data Services, your Wifi Hotspot browser should work fine. I have one Bold device with no SIM even it, in which I can access and browse the internet on it via only WiFi using the Hotspot browser.

When turning off data services, does 26 and 3g matter? (battery-wise)

Im using a bold 9900 and i always turn off data services to save battery. i also switch to 2g even when data services is off. But does it matter? if i turn off data services and ALSO switch to 2g? or i dont need to switch to 2g when data services is off already?

2g (lower case) or 2G (upper case)?

How can i turn off 3g service on a 4s

how can i turn off 3g service on a 4s?,there are times when i don't want to use my 3g data alowance and would like to restrect it to wi-fi only,can the 3g be turned off and on as needed?

Yea,I found that but it also kill voicemail which does not make sense as it should still have all phone funtions(which I would think incloud VM access)but VM needs cell data to work, so I can get & make calls and know when i've missed one but need to turn on data to get or check messages.stupid program! I guess they make it so you must use 3g weather you want to or not,Thanks

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Is turning my data services on abroad costing me???

i am abroad, using wifi with data and roaming is off. but internet or bbm is not working. soon as i turn my data services on, my bbm and internet works. Is this costing me???

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Only your carrier (Orange, as per your profile) can answer your question for certain...each carrier sets their own policies about what/when billing happens. But, from what you describe, it should be that those services are transporting via WiFi. You can always check the path that BIS is using via Manage Connections > Services Status. However, even if it's via WiFi, you should still talk to Orange to see if perhaps they have some other billing scheme...I've heard of a few lately that actually seem to be blocking ALL BIS via WiFi.
Good Luck!

How do I turn off data on my Extrovert 2?

How do I turn off data on my Extrovert 2? There is nothing in the settings to do this. I am getting small data usage showing up even though I never go on the internet or access emails, and I have a pay per use data plan. I don't really want any data plan at all, and didn't use to have one, but when I returned my defective phone, the rep who placed the order added a $10.00/month data plan, without my consent. When I called to get it removed, the rep changed it to a "pay per use" plan. I want things back to the way they were. I don't want ANY data plan. I only use the phone for calls and texts, and am not sure why small data amounts are showing up on some days, from .00001 to .00021 mg.

You should be able to log into your on-line My Verizon account (assuming you're the Account Owner) and put a data block on the line, or call Customer Service and have them do it.

Will an iPhone automatically turn off location services. If it goes below a certain battery power level, and so how you disable this in settings.

I am working with Georgia DOT and we have created an app to track our state vehicles using IPhone 5. My question is: will an iPhone automatically turn off location services? If it goes below a certain battery power level, and if so how do you disable this in settings.

I don't believe that this will happen, however, the entire iPhone will shut down when the iPhone reaches the auto-shutdown power level. There is no way to turn that Off other that connecting the iPhone to power.

How do I turn off location services on the iPhone 6?

Yes I already went to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, is not allowing me to turn it off.
And yes I have disable the restrictions too.

When I tapped the screen, there was a symbol on the left that looked like arrows going in a circle and on the right were the arrows crossed. The crossed arrows were orange, when I tapped this orange symbol, it turned to white and the songs STOPPED shuffle.

HT1807 I have an iPhone 3s. How do I turn OFF data roaming?

I am traveling in Mexico. I have an iPhone 3s. How do I turn OFF data roaming? Under SETTINGS I don't see Network. I don'r see it under SETTINGS/General either.

What you should do, if you don't want any nasty surprises, is put your phone in Airplane mode. That turns off all iPhone radios, but you can go back into settings & turn WiFi back on.
Do not rely on the data roaming setting to protect you.

After turning off Location Services, Safari keeps saying to turn back on

I turn off "Location Services" often to save battery power, and at night I often turn on "Airplane Mode", (which I must say is most convenient to turn all radios, (GPS, Bluetooth, Phone, Wifi, Push), at once. However, Safari continues to often send a pop up saying, "turn on location services to allow "safari" to determine your location". Not only is this pop up annoying, but I often listen to several of the rainmaker apps as I fall asleep and this notification continously shuts down my rainmaker app. I have tried to find a way to stop Safari from doing this but am getting no where. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a way to stop Safari from sending repeated prompts? This has always happened but is happening more so since using Google Latitude, which I do have completely turned off and signed out of. Thanks

Cannot see why Safari is bugging you. 1) it is closed thus shouldn't be needing anything since apps don't run in the background. 2) Safari shouldn't ask for your location (unless specific page is asking).
I'd say reboot as it sounds like something is stuck in memory.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.

HT1975 Why can't I turn off location services? Restrictions are disabled. The on off slidebar is grayed out. I'm concerned my phone is being tracked.

While I know there are phones that can do this, they really are not powered "off" - they are more in a hybernation state. However, the iPhone has never worked that way. Off on an iPhone means truly powered off - nothing is still running so there is no minimal function left ticking away to wake up the phone and sound the alarm.

My sister wants to turn off data roaming

Turn off Data

I have an iPhone 5c. I've never had a problem with this before, but now when I manually turn off data for my apps, for some reason Facebook, Shazaam, and Youtube turn right back on. How do I fix that?

It may help to force close the offending applications, then restart your iPhone.
