Where is the network mode on iPhone 7?
The network mode on iPhone 7 is not available on the Settings app in the iOS 10.
3.2 update. So where to look and what to do for activating or deactivating the Network Mode. (Read more about the new features in iOS 10.2 by clicking on this link).
You can find a lot of info and tutorials related to how to connect to a Wifi network or how to create an ad-hoc network in iOS and how to setup a network, but I haven't found a comprehensive guide on how to connect to a specific network. If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running the iOS 10.2 update you need to know what exactly is meant by the network mode. If you are a subscriber of an internet service provider, the network mode is what you are used to when using the 3G or LTE network with your phone. A network mode is in contrast to the Wi-Fi hotspot mode and the mobile hotspot mode.
For those who don't know what a network mode is, it's all about choosing the right network based on connection quality and security requirements. The best network is called automatic network selection. This means that the phone gets automatic suggestions which type of network to use based on several factors, and the iPhone will automatically select the best one.
Let's look at some more details of the three network modes in iOS 10.2 and what you can choose when activating or deactivating the network mode.
Wifi Hotspot - iPhone, iPad, iPod touch. Wi-Fi hotspot mode is the most basic method of connecting to a network. It uses the existing Wifi signal without any changes. On iPhone 7, the network mode icon will not show up in Settings (on all versions of iOS). So if you still need to activate the Wi-Fi hotspot mode you need to go to the Control Center and long press the Wi-Fi hotspot icon there to get the access to the following menu options:
Activate Wifi Hotspot Mode. Deactivate Wifi Hotspot Mode. Create an Ad-hoc Network - iPhone, iPad, iPod touch. Ad-hoc networks allow you to share the internet access with friends or colleagues, using their own devices such as iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
What will happen if I reset network settings on my iPhone 7?
You won't be able to use Wi-Fi after a factory reset, but you can still connect to cellular networks or hotspot connections on your phone.
To disable Wi-Fi, tap Wi-Fi off ( ). If you have cellular connectivity, you can activate cellular data or an available hotspot. If you have an available Wi-Fi connection, you can enable that network and access the Internet.
If you turn Wi-Fi off or you reset your device, you won't be able to use cellular data or connect to a hotspot. If you want to use the mobile data plan on your iPhone, do one of the following: If you have a personal hotspot from a wireless carrier or cellular service from a cellular service provider that offers free Wi-Fi, you can connect your iPhone to your personal hotspot and use your mobile data plan through your personal hotspot instead of using cellular data on your phone. If you're not using a personal hotspot, you can create a cellular data profile for your phone, just like you would on an Android phone. If you have an unlimited data plan, you can always add your data plan to your plan. It's just another data plan on your account, with the same restrictions. If you add the data plan, it automatically becomes active. You may lose any unused data before adding a data plan.
If you lose an Apple ID and password, reset your phone to restore a backup or erase your phone ( ) to wipe the contents. Note: You'll be able to connect to cellular data or hotspot connections. You may lose any unused data before erasing your phone. If you can't connect to cellular data or hotspot connections after erasing your iPhone, contact your wireless carrier or cellular service provider. It may be possible to reactivate the service.
Note: Wi-Fi on the iPhone can't be used after a factory reset. If you set up your Wi-Fi network manually on the iPhone, you can use the "Wake on network" feature. Set it to your Wi-Fi network and you'll be able to connect to it when you wake your iPhone. This feature works best if you have a Wi-Fi password.
How do I reset my carrier settings on my iPhone 7?
If your iPhone 7 starts ringing or vibrating with a new carrier, you'll need to clear any settings related to network carriers.
To do this, follow the steps below to remove your network carrier settings: Start Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of your iPhone. Select Reset Network Settings. When asked whether to reset data and Wi-Fi, select Yes for both options. If you're asked whether to reboot, select Reboot. After rebooting, your iPhone will automatically reconnect to any carrier that it previously used.
How do I reset my iPhone 7 settings?
My wife and I have been married for about seven years, and my wife and I were both still new to iPhone 7.
There were times that she would call me for a ride home, and were having technical difficulty with our iPhone. We tried to contact support to resolve this issue, but they never responded. It was a week or so before our first service center got open, where were able to take it in to exchange it for another one (we kept the original iPhone7 with us just in case).
We used this opportunity to get the best of both worlds. Since we had an original iPhone 7 with us (a phone that I had never owned before), we decided to exchange that one at the service center for the brand new iPhone7. The only problem was that our settings and information got mixed up from the two iPhones!
When went back to a service center to exchange our new iPhone7 for the old iPhone 7 (for a full-refurbished model), they asked if we can return all the setting in a full-refurbished model. At the time, we couldn't think how to get back all of the settings in our iPhone7.
After getting the phone back, we tried to contact the support by calling them and emailing them (they even had an FAQs on their website that asked if we could lose our information when exchanging a new phone). We did not get a response from them, despite getting responses for the email! Our questions and concerns are as follows: How can we get back all of the settings and preferences in a full-refurbished model? Why didn't the support team respond to the email sent to them (including the screenshot of our support conversation on their official facebook page)? Why would you ask someone to return their personal info on their phone, even if it's a full refurbished device? I'm still not sure whether I am able to reset the settings myself or if I need to contact the service center again. What should I do to reset the iPhone7 settings? How do I reset my iPhone7 settings? My wife and I have been married for about seven years, and my wife and I were both still new to iPhone7.
