Downloading Apps over Data

[Anonymous]

Heyies peep

Got a question, I am having issues with downloading apps via data but have no issues with downloading them over WiFi, is there a setting or something I am missing thought never had this issue before thought again more detail the app appears on screen but doesn’t actually download.

Why would you want to waste your data to download an app? If you're not having problems using WiFi, wait until you have access to that. An app download can't be that important that it can't wait until you can download it for free.

@Anonymous   As @Bambino says, using Wifi is the way to go but if you have no Wifi (and a large amount of data in your tariff to waste) then you better look at clearing those apps you don't use to create more space. Also according to the Apple forums any large app will struggle to download using only mobile data

Certainly though, a stable wifi connection is the best way to download any app

Do you have App Store set to on in mobile data? Most of the time because of the data signal won’t be strong enough or consistent to be able to download a large app & that’s why your having trouble. Leave downloading apps until you have a WiFi connection

Do you get any error messages pop up on screen when trying over mobile data.

Okie Data downloading bad idea.

WiFi where I am is few and far between and where I live its debatable like it’s crying out for TLC.

I use Data a lot I did go from a 20GB Tarffi to a 5GB one

Think it’s my iPhone gonna get a better one when my contract runs out.

Hi   Im newish to smartphone and have a simple structured M9500, but it does have android setting too. How does one clear unwanted apps ? Under what settings Or under Google settings?   Most apps were from Google i cant find a way to uninstall the already set up apps even tho I'll never use some . 

PS  I also have an Experia android  data tablet, same query about that too

Thanks

In settings is a section called Apps or Applications.

If you open each one, any that can be deleted, will have an uninstall option.

Not all can be deleted but may give a disable option instead.
