Any way to make IOS 7 treat a wi-fi network like it is cellular data?
(because it IS cellular data)
I have a hotspot that I use with my iPhone. It is cellular and my data usage is very limited. However, since it is wi-fi, IOS treats it as if it is unlimited, and none of the options to limit data usage will work on it. For instance, automatic app updating has an option to only download updates when the phone is using wi-fi, but if I turn it on, the phone will download app updates automatically on my hotspot.
It seems like a pretty major oversight that Apple does not seem to realise that not every wi-fi network is an unlimited, unmetered connection.
Settings: iTunes & App store… Turn off Automatic Downloads for music, Apps, Books and Updates.
No automatic downloads = you tell it to update = you control the connectivity.
- Why doesn't my iPhone 3GS connect to the cellular data network? I just bought a refurbished iPhone 3GS from Gamestop a few weeks ago and have just started using it recently. I can make/ receive calls and texts with no problem, but for some reason my phone will not connect to the 3G network. I have 3G turned on and the symbol shows up in the top corner of my phone, as if it were working normally. I tried updating my phone, but there was no difference.
- When you have Wi-Fi and cellular data on at the same time, does it use cellular data? If I keep my cellular data on and also have my iPhone connected to Wi-Fi, will it use any of my cellular data?
- What is cellular network data? I just got an iPhone through Verizon and when I go into usage there's a thing that says cellular network data and it just keeps going up and up but I don't understand why. I don't use Internet outside of Wi-Fi ever. I don't even know what cellular network data is. Someone explain?
- Looking for a way to evenly share network speed in a house network? So my problem is that I play games online, that need a good ping. Whenever anyone from any other computer goes to load a video on youtube in a high quality, it takes up all the speed, gives me more than 400 ping and just pretty much cuts everyone else out. Is there a way to share the network evenly between every user? Our download speed is about 6mb/s, so if we have 4 active users, i'd like it to share it like 1.5mb/s each.
