Use iphone while on cruise

We are going on a cruise in November. I know the cruise line (Royal caribbean) offers wifi packages (from daily to unlimited per device). I'm hoping to pay for a package and turn cellular off and be able to text and FaceTime (audio or video) using just wifi. Does anyone know if this is possible to do in this situation?
thanks in advance for anyone with help or experience!

Another option you may have is to temporarily suspend service...that would guarantee you won't have any charges for unexpected texts/calls. Might be a little more extreme then you want to do though. Contact VZW for more details on that option if interested. I would echo the idea of just using a camera versus your iPhone unless for some reason you don't own an actual point and shoot camera. You can easily put the pics on your iPhone when you return home from your trip if that is the reason you were really wanting to use the iPhone for picture taking.

Using iphone on caribbean cruise

what plan do I need to use internet on my iphone while on a cruise that supports wifi?
Do I need to change any settings on my iphone while on the cruise?
Will 3g be covered under my normal ATT iphone plan?

what plan do I need to use internet on my iphone while on a cruise that supports wifi?
More than likely internet access via wi-fi on the cruise ship will not be free. The cruise ship will have rates for wi-fi access that you can choose from.
Do I need to change any settings on my iphone while on the cruise?
If you don't want to receive or place any calls at international or cruise ship roaming rates and the same for SMS/MMS and be charged international roaming rates for data access via the cellular network, you can place your iPhone in Airplane mode followed by turning on wi-fi access. All other iPhone radios will be off except for wi-fi access on the ship.
Will 3g be covered under my normal ATT iphone plan?
No. International roaming or cruise ship roaming is extra for calls, messages, and internet access.

Using iphone while carplay is on

hi there, I was thinking about buying a Pioneer aftermarket car stereo in order to use CarPlay, but I got stuck with a doubt:
is it still possible to use the iPhone while CarPlay is on? I mean, can I use whatsapp or facebook or any other app that won't go on carplay's display? 'cause this would mean having half the functions of the iphone. you could say I shouldn't chat on whatsapp while driving, you're right, but what if someone on the passenger seat wanted to use my phone?
thank you

Only people driving the new Ferrari can answer this one.
CarPlay is not available anywhere else. It hasn't been released for any other car. Pioneer has not released the update for their head units that is supposed to support it either.
At this point, CarPlay is totally MIA. Apple removed the "Coming 2014" from their website too. So if/when it will arrive is anyone's guess.
Believe me, I know all about the wait. I bought a 2014 Civic in February in expectation of CarPlay. It's the car that's dashboard is used on the CarPlay website for most of the pics. Honda and Apple still haven't released anything or said a word.

Will using iphone while charging use up battery cycle?

battery capacity decreases as we repeat charging / using the phone.
but what if we use it while it is being charged? will it just use power from
the power source or charge+use up batter at the same time?
i hope it can just use draw power from the external power source and leave
the battery alone if it's full, then I can just use bluetooth and leave
the phone in the dock to not waste battery cycles.

There are two issues here. A cycle is the EQUIVALENT of one complete use of the battery from fully charged to depleted. But it can take place over multiple uses and charges. There is no way to avoid using cycles (or portions of them) other than leaving the phone plugged in all the time. Which brings us to issue two:
The worst thing you can do to your battery (other than letting it get very hot) is to leave it plugged in all the time. This is not because it will overcharge. As others have pointed out, the phone is smart enough to prevent overcharging. But li-ion polymer batteries like to get some "exercise" to say fresh. Apple recommends the equivalent of at least one cycle per month. If it's plugged in constantly, it will not get enough exercise and its capacity will diminish.

Using iphone while charging in home or car??

Could that create any battery problems if done daily? I use the phone off and on for about 6 hours and the battery takes a dive then. I have to start switching off the wifi as I am not in that environ most of the time. Thanks!

If you think about it, keeping the phone plugged in limits the amount of cycles on your battery so that's a plus. If your phone is dead after 6 hours of off and on use (not solid talk time) and plummets from some battery to none, then you might want to talk to Apple. Otherwise I would recommend NOT USING a case while talking with the charger connected because charging tends to heat up electronics and heat is an enemy of battery life. Of course after a short while the relevant question will become 'Why is the phone cable so short?????'
Most of my electrical receptacles are at ground level, not into talking while laying on the floor. Just odd, considering the possible lengths of USB cables and the fact that some thought was put into the iPhone cable (no squeeze locks).
I always want my electronic devices charged up, I don't see that as unreasonable so I'd say you're fine as long as the device doesn't get extremely hot.

Using Iphone while Charging

I was using my iphone 4s while plugged into the wall andi noticed the battery was decreasing. How is this possible if its plugged in?

Using iPhone while plugged in

Is it OK for the battery to use the phone while plugged in as I usually do with my lap top instead of constantly recharging while using the apps?

In the same way you can use TomTom in a car while it's charging through the holder, yes it's fine

Using iPhone on a cruise?

I want to avoid data charges on a NCL cruise. Can I use WIFi locally on the ship on my 5S 7.03 without triggering their internet charges? If so, how?

Again, if you use the ship's Wifi and they charge for it you will incurr charges.
Depending on how the Ship charges, either by connection time, or by MB downloaded you may or may not incurr additional chargers if you are just transferring things from your Phone to the computer.
Timed based Wifi which appears to be the one NCL uses will still charge you for time spent connected by your devices even if you download nothing from the internet.

Hi. Sure, you can use your iPhone when charging (but not always) . Just release your battery under 10% and recharge to 100% once a month, it can be helpful for battery life.
That is actually not considered best practice. Lithium ion batteries should be kept topped up when possible. That was previously recommended to calibrate the battery sensor. It never had any effect on the overall life of the battery.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

Using find my iphone while roaming without notifications activated

Hello,
I used to be able to use "Find my iPhone" while roaming internationally without have push notifications on (iOS 4.x.x.) but now with iOS 5 there isn't a way to use that feature without enabling notifications as well.
In Settings>General>Network
There is an option of Cellular Data but it turns off Data Roaming when you disactivate Cellular Data.
Basically my question is, is there anyway to turn off all notifications while roaming yet have find my iphone activated.
I know that if I send a message in say "whatsapp" in 4.x.x it would send but i wouldn't get notified unless I was in the app, but now they are pushed either way which makes it expensive for me since I am roaming 270 days out of the year.
Thanks

You cannot trace it if it is offline.
Hopefully you have a passcode on your iPad and you have backups of these documents.

Hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing

hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing & registration process its says error on system mainternance. can you please help me out?
thank you.

OK, let's try again. Wind is NOT a supported carrier. In order to use tethering, it must be supported and activated by your carrier for the iPhone. This usually involves an additional fee. You will have to ask your carrier if they can enable it. Odds are, since they are not a supported carrier, they can not. If you want to use tethering, you will most likely have to switch to a supported carrier that offers this feature on the iPhone.
A list of supported carriers can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
