Unable to Submit Survey while using Cell phone connection

Question

Hello all, can someone please clarify this question?

Are we able to submit a Survey while NOT on Wifi but YES with a cell phone signal/connection?

Every time I hit submit when I'm out and about not using Wifi, it says I am "Offline" and must save in the Outbox.

But my cell signal is just fine.

Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?   It seems like this used to work for me....

Thank you!

Thank you @ABishop , since you commented that it might be something on my side I was able to do some testing, and it looks like the default of "using Cellular Data" is turned OFF for Survey123.

On my iPhone --> Settings --> Cellular --> scroll down to "Survey123"   (see attached)

Looks like all other apps have that automatically turned on.  Perhaps I changed a setting a while ago and forgot, or perhaps this is the default now, either way, it might be helpful for others who come across this same issue.

Thanks!

Hi @MarthaRodgers,

The cellular data option for the Survey123 field app on all platforms should be on by default when the app is installed, and provided you have a valid data subscription with your cellular service, the app will be able to connect and download and submit surveys using that service.

The only way to turn this option off is manually via the OS settings. Glad you found this option was off and got it working again.

Regards,

Phil.
