How do you turn off the cellular data warning that annoyingly pops up every time you're not using cellular data when opening notes, maps, or anything you have cellular data turned off?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.3
amen to that. I use spotify in offline mode and I am annoyed by the message. There should be a way to not show this message. The workaround noted by steve210209 doesn't make any sense to me. I don't understand it.
I'm having the same issue with podcast and music. I hate the fact you can't turn this off. Very dangerous when driving cause it's an extra look not needed. I should be able to only say no once.
I am now on my third Iphone. It seams as though every update from apple requires your phone and every app to use more and more data... This is my last iphone because of this. I need more control over my apps besides turning cellular data on and off completely. That is just unexceptable. Android here I come.

It is extremely annoying. There is a way to stop it though. For each app you get this message on, you need to have cellular data turned on for the apps in question, but have the main cellular data button flicked to off. For example with the Notes app, switch on cellular data, then switch it on for notes specifically then flick the cellular data button at the top of the screen to off.
Please reply on topic or don't reply at all. But since I really can't resist, I'll reply to your post.
Besides: cellular data usage is triggered by the app. Not the phone it's on. How does android behave differently on this matter? What can you do with your new android phone to get a hold on your cellular data usage, besides turning it off?
Just curious.
How is indigo's post off topic? My question was about control and Indigo answered. Way to go policing the topics and then commit the same crime furthering a rant about Android vs. Apple. IMO you are the one taking this post off topic.
Haha point taken, Sorry to bother you all. Any luck with a possible solution? I'm allmost used to the warning. But still... These kind of warnings on a desktop OS have this nice little checkbox like "never warn me about this again". Could there be something like this be possible in iOS GUI?
Spotify, the app I had troubles with, has an offline modus built in now. So I let the cellular data on for this app now, and the app itself blocks me from listening to tracks that I haven't saved for offline listening. Nice solution by spotify. Doesn't solve our initial problem, though.
So I may have found a working fix for this issue.
I am on iOS 7.1.1
1) Turn off data for a given app
2) Close the app (double click main button, swipe up to close out app)
3) Open the app, dismiss irritating pop-up.
(repeat as needed, the person who proposed the procedure said 3x, but mine worked on the first try)
Other details:
I was in range of one of my wifi networks, so I disabled wifi before I started.
Something that worked for me (if you don't worry about synchronizing Notes between devices). Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calenders. Go into all your accounts and turn off Notes, it will ask if you want to delete it, first make sure that all notes are copied to your phone's Note account (On My iPhone) if necessary.
You may want to turn Notes off on any other devices (MacBook etc) that are linked with your phone's email accounts.
My solution was to go into settings, general, restrictions and then scrolling down to allow changes. Click on cellular data use and check Don't allow.
Be sure to turn off whatever apps you want first
cheers
Rich4rd it was doing the same for me. Unfortunately, mine's started doing it again. Im running ios8.1 on my i5 and it is quite frustrating, I think mostly because i have chosen the settings on purpose and it still 'reminder/warn/annoy you regardless.
Hope me it keeps on track for you mate.
too bad same behaviour here. Sometimes it gives the warning, sometimes it doesn't. What you say is true. Very strange that you change a setting and it warns you every time you open the app.
It's like turning off the lights and someone yelling: "HEY, you just turned off the lights. If you want to turn them on again, feel free to use the switch"
Ugh this is slowly driving me insane...
I can almost put up with it when it comes to app usage, but the one that gets me is "Cellular data is turned off for Settings". Leaving aside the issue of "I know it's turned off, I did that for a reason!", why in the world would "Settings" need cellular access???
This pops up every five minutes.... Having Michael Douglas "Falling Down" moments...
