Hi. All apps work ok on WiFi but some do not work when using mobile data. How do we resolve this? Had phone a few months now and still struggling.

Hi @DonnaC 

 

Okay, have you tried a network settings reset?

 

For iPhone;

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

 

For most Android;

Settings > System > Reset options > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth

 

For Samsung; 

Settings > General management > Reset > Reset mobile network settings


Resetting network settings will NOT reset any personal data (Photos, Videos, Contacts etc) only network settings.

Some apps have settings, which stop them working with a mobile data network connection, @DonnaC.

Have you checked the settings of the problem apps - perhaps they’re configured to only use a Wi-Fi network connection.

Hi yes. We have compared settings on my phone and husbands. We have same phone and same plan - apps work on one phone but not the other when using the mobile data. Baffled!

Hey there @DonnaC, welcome to Community! 

 

Sorry to hear that.

 

When you have this issue, is it just at home, or everywhere please?

 

Thank you,

Tyler

Hi. It is anywhere where I try to use mobile data. It can be any WiFi and  all the apps work fine. But when no WiFi is available and I have to use mobile data certain apps don’t work.
