When trying to download an Audible book through the Audible app, it will not download over the cellular network. It says that I must connect to wifi since it is over 50 mb. Is there a setting somewhere that I can force it to download over the cellular network?
iPhone 5, iOS 6
No, this is not an option you can change and I believe it was originally requested by carriers to prevent over usage on their networks.
That's unfortunate. I never had this problem with my android phone. As this is my most used app, it is seriously making me reconsider my switch to an iPhone. Thanks for the help though.
Although the download size limit might be higher on the Android devices, it is still an issue Android users have to suffer through as well.
Try sending feedback and sugguest they give you the option to override the limit like what is semi-available for Android devices. www.apple.com/feedback/
While it's true that android does force wifi downloads for some of the really large apps, I never had it prevent me from downloading an Audible book. The iPhone prohibits downloading all Audible books of cellular with the exception of a few very short stories.
Another problem I have is that when I receive a phone call, it does not go back to playing the audiobook. I'm guessing that if I sync them into my music folder, it will fix the problem, but I generally buy and download my books on the fly.
Can't download Audible books over cellular.
