Re: [apple-iphone] Switching from WiFi to cellular

If you have apps that are expecting push notifications, that is what is probably causing those "No internet connection available" messages.

Since you keep the cellular data turned off many times, I would turn off the push notifications to stop the messages and since you are on a limited data plan, that will help to lower your usage for when you really need it.

It is like most things in life, you have have it cheap, fast or high quality. You can have only two of the three. In this case since the quality is the same, you can only pick one.

Thanks Brent.. I will see if that is the problem. Maybe it takes few more seconds than I was willing to wait before rebooting.

The alternative is to leave cell data setting on at all times, and turn of cell data for the individual apps as well as to make sure no apps are set to push notifications.

Yeap! That is normal. It will take a few seconds for the phone to look for a data connections. I used to work in areas that had no voice or cellular data signal.

You can force it to try and reconnect by resetting the network connection.

OK, just to be clear. Let's say right now, my cellular data is off (I don't ant any data coming down because I have a ltd data plan). My wifi is on. I leave the house. I can place a call with no problem. Now, I am in my car, and want to use Yelp to find a restaurant. I turn my cell data on. I will at this point always get the message, No internet connection available" and although I wait in order to give the phone plenty of time to connect, it doesnt, unless I reboot the phone.

I cannot use airplane mode, because then I lose my phone connecetivty as well, and cannot call out, nor can I receive calls.

Yes. Turning cellular back will search for a signal. But what you need the phone to do is register with the network & just turning cellular on will not nessasarly do that. All it does find a signal.

Isn't it the same with a cell signal? iPhone cellular gets turned on and the iPhone searches for a cell signal. If, in fact, the iPhone doesn't work like that with a cell signal, is there a plausible reason why not?
