IPhone keeps using data instead of home Internet?
I have an iPhone 4. When I'm at home, my phone randomly starts using data (3G) instead of my home Internet connection. Because of this, I'm really close to passing my monthly data limit. Is there anyway that I can prevent my phone from going to data at home, something in the settings maybe?
Turn on Wi-Fi and turn off mobile data. I do that with my droid and it feeds off my Wi-Fi and remains disconnected from my phones internet network- i don't know much about Iphones but you might like a droid have a switch in your data settings. Try that - if it turns off all data on your phone you might have an older model or a phone that feeds off of the mobile data when the Wi-Fi disconnects and their may not be a button for it. You can always speak to your provider- they have trained techs who know about your phone so they can sell it too you in the first place
I don't have the iPhone. However sometimes my phone does this as well. It might just be because your Wi-Fi connection is low, or because you're too far away from your Wi-Fi monitor. If all the sudden you notice that your phone is using 3G instead of your home Wi-Fi you can try going into your settings and making sure that its connected to YOUR Wi-Fi. If that doesn't work well then I don't know.
Make sure it always shows the Wi-Fi symbol instead of 3G whenever you're using it. Make sure you're not streaming on 3G.
Turn data roaming off, since there isn't a need to use up extra data while you're away from Wi-Fi.
Settings>General>Cellular
You could also turn off 3G while you're at home, but remember to turn it back on. Same with Cellular Data, if necessary. Remember to turn those back on when you leave. That's all I really have to suggest. Make sure your internet is stable, since outages or resets could switch it back to 3G and it may not automatically change back to Wi-Fi. Your iPhone should automatically connect to known networks though, so I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. Sorry if this wasn't any help, but this is all I can think of.
Go on settings and turn off mobile data or roaming, or 3g lol
- Will I be able to unlock my iPhone with a home phone plan instead of a wireless plan? I don't have a wireless plan with AT&T but I have a home phone plan does that count towards unlocking requirements? And also can I use a mildly cracked screen as a replacement screen on my iPhone?
- Why does my iPhone still charge for Internet even when I'm not using Internet? So, I recently got a pay monthly plan with my new iPhone 4s. When i'm out and about I'm usually updating my twitter and Facebook account. But, when I'm put my phone down, 3G still says I'm using it and charging me. So do I have to turn it off when i'm finished? Or is there a much easier way?
- Safari on iphone keeps pushing desktop instead of mobile sites? My iPhone (safari) keeps redirecting me to the desktop version of youtube instead kf the mobile version. It's really annoying, please help. Also, i would just like to add, i know that there's a "mobile version" link in the bottom corner, but when i go to my bookmark, it goes straight back to the desktop version.
- My phone keeps showing ' instead of an apostrophe on certain apps? I have an iPhone and recently a coupe of my apps have been showing my received messages with the code "'" instead of its apostrophe. I know this is the code for an apostrophe, but this is only happening recently. Any ideas?
