How do I turn off the "cellular data is turned off for "podcasts"" message?

I keep getting this message or one like it for every app with the cellular data turned off when I am not connected to wifi. Is there a way to make this message go away like the don't show message in the future option windows gives users? I understand it probably helps users that aren't very knowledgable when it comes to using their phone but I do and it is very annoying. It was less annoying a message like it for location services but now I have to tap away the message 10 or more times a day.

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.2

You are not alone in this very annoying and stupid problem. It makes it worse when you get a equally stupid response like the one from "anilsudhakaran". This is one of those issues that no matter how many times we ask the question and show that something needs to be fixed but get nothing but silence from apple.

This particular problem is acutally become a driving hazard because you want to be able to listen to a podcast or audio book in the car but keep having to respond with more taps to this ridiculuous popup message before you can do anyhting else with the phone.

APPLE FIX THIS!

I can't agree more on your ranting :-)

Unfortunately, stepping through the settings bit as described doesn't take care of the idiotic "turn on data to get podcasts" in the Podcast app...

Not always going to be a useful fix, but these messages have gone away when I turn off bluetooth.

I take it back. They went away for a while, but have now returned.

tlhintoq, click the (apparently) highlighted follow arrow up above. I'd call that plain and obvious but maybe you're at work and not seeing everything?

And yet after that comment you expect someone to help you. Figure it out for yourself like everyone else had to. Its not that difficult.
