Wi-Fi definitely uses LTE Data!!!

[kingsrule5]

Isn't there a mode called Wifi plus LTE? LTE is supposed to kick in whenever the wifi signal is too slow. I remember seeing it in a beta somewhere...

It got pulled but looks like some remnants of the code/function could be causing this.

This may be an iOS counting issue. I was shocked to see that my cellular usage in my iPhone's settings is showing 1.3GB received, after I re-set the statistics YESTERDAY. No way, no how.

I logged in to verizonwireless.com, and it's telling me I've used 31.4MBs, which is a lot more like it.

Nonetheless, something to keep an eye on...it always seems like I blow through my 2GB iPad plan super quickly too, so maybe there is some foul play out there.

I woke up with around 200mb used in a day. Was on Wi-fi all afternoon. Got a text warning me im going over my limit. I check and I see an extra 200mb added. Wtf mang

I can definitely tell its LTE cause its so fast. But the Wi-fi signal icon shows not LTE.

Go into your settings and turn LTE and Data off when you are using wifi if you want to make sure that you're using wi-fi. Easy solution until the problem is fixed, if it is a problem at all.

they took it out in beta 4 i think

lol

Did they take it out or make it always on by default?

Wasn't there old threads about the 4S and incorrect data use? It ended up being when the account logged the data, not time of use, I think. If you own any smartphone on a 200mb plan, first sorry but WTF, like having a fast new car with one gallon of gas every month, second leave data off.

Verizon and Apple set this up as a way for Apple to re-pay Verizon for making them wait so long to get the iPhone
