Sometimes when I plug my ios 7 device (ipad or iphone) my network slows down for all devices (ios, desktop, laptop) getting to the internet. If I turn wifi off on the ios device all is well. I checked and it doesn't say it is backing up either.
Has anyone seen this? Any ideas?
Okay, here's more info about the problem:
The good news is that it apparently goes away after a while (it took a few hours). Perhaps some very large file is being downloaded and is hogging a substantial fraction of the wifi bandwidth. Don't know what file -- I had turned off all the backup, iCloud, and wifi sync controls that I could find. Some of the other posts are complaining about forced automatic download of IOS updates, so it may be that.
Interestingly, I later brought the phone to the Apple Store with another problem, and they had to wipe and reload the firmware and IOS. This caused the problem to return. As before, I left it plugged in for several hours and the problem went away.
Don't know if or how often this might recur, but at least for now it's not causing problems.
it search for itunes to sync
Do you know where I can turn that off on the ios device?
you can close itunes on your mac or pc,
or set wifi off
itunes isn't open. It usually never is.
I'll sync it up and turn off wifi syncing and see if that helps
Thanks
Have your found a solution? My iPhone does the same thing. I'm not using wifi sync or iCloud for anything that I'm aware of.
Network slows down when charging
