Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
On my iPhone under "Store" I am attempting to turn on Auto Downloads for Apps (I'm in the UK, so no Music Downloads yet). When I move the slider from Off to On, it will stay there for a few seconds and then ping back to Off. I don't have this problem on my iPad, and I use the same iTunes account across both devices. Anyone else seen? Bug? Workaround?
iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.2

This appears to be related to the same issue afflicting FaceTime logins on iPad. You must go to wifi settings>advanced and put 8.8.8.8 in the DNS section. Not only does this enable FaceTime login it allows automatic selection. Click auto "on". It may reset to "off". Click again and it should stick on
Thanks man. Driving me mad for a week!!!! Just asking, how does it work and why does that paticular setting change things?
Thanks alot. my facetime and imaessage weren't working for a year on my old ipad because of this
I wish I knew how it worked. For example, does it open our mobile device to external risk? I'm not technically inclined enough to answer but can only say it does work
Hi,
I faced this problem too recently and then realised that when the phone's on Low Power mode, the Automatic downloads turn off, until charged again or taken of the low power mode.
Cannot set Automatic Downloads ON for iPhone - setting will not remain
