iOS 7 cellular data settings won't save on iPhone 4s???

Same prob. Just did the last update and didn't fix. Please fix this - it's chewing up my data+++++

Same problem for me...fully updated iOS 7 and every time I go to save the apps that I don't want to use data, they reset and switch to using data again. Really annoying...reported this bug as well

Same problem with me on iPhone4s with the latest ios.....apple have to fix it

I have the same exact problem on my iPhone4s 16GB. Any options besides restoring to factory defaults?

Found a solution for this problem that does not require RESETTING ANY IF YOUR SETTINGS, NEITHER JAILBREAKING the device.

I know that this envolve a lot of steps, so be patient.

In the end, it worked out fine for me and I didn't need to reset my iphone to factory settings. I would be pleased to know if this helped anyone else. Please spread the word.

For this, you'll need:

• iTunes
• iBackupBot (http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm)

  don't worry about registration, you won't need it

• SQLiteStudio (http://sqlitestudio.pl)

Steps:

1. Disable Find My Phone in Phone icloud settings
2. Disable iPhone Passcode
3. Make a complete iOS backup using itunes

   make sure NOT TO ENCRYPT the backup, otherwise iBackupBot can not use it.

4. Open up iBackupBot
5. Navigate to your newest backup on the left top space
6. Go through the file hierarchy until you reach

   WirelessDomain/Library/Databases/

7. Export CellularUsage.db file to your computer by right clicking the file and selecting "Export Selected Item"
8. Open up this file using SQLiteStudio
9. Expand tables and double click TABLE bundle_info
10. On the right window select Data separator
11. Change all the values of COLUMN flags to desired value (0 or 1)
    1. 0 (zero) for disabling cellular data
    2. 1 (one) for enabling cellular data
    3. NOTE: in some lines you probably have another number (2) and that's the reason why iOS won't save your toggle option
12. After changing the flags apply changes by clicking the check orange button on top of the table
13. Go to menu Databases and choose Disconnect
14. Quit SQLiteStudio
15. Head over to iBackupBot
16. Import the CellularUsage.db file you changed to the active windows

    note: iBackupBot may say the folder does not exist, just press yes for it to create it

17. Right click CellularUsage.db file and select "Restore Selected items to device"
18. When message Restore Complete appears, click OK and remove usb cable (so that itunes does not pick it up once it boots)
19. Wait for iphone to boot
20. Activate Passcode (optional)
21. Activate Find My Phone (optional)
22. Activate iCloud Keychain (optional)
23. Make a new iTunes backup

    you can choose a password to Encrypt iPhone Backup

24. The END. All the apps in the cellular usage should be turned off and you can continue to use these app normally

Feel free to post any opinions, questions and if it worked for you.

Hi Ac.Moby,

Unfortunatly when I read your message "c:" came right at me and I remembered my old ways where I used Microsoft software.

My short tutorial was only tested for OSX and therefore I don't know how the software behaves under windows as I did not test it under those conditions. If any of the last users achieved the result using windows, maybe they'll give you hand.

Meanwhile, If you reach a solution for yourself please post it as it can be useful for someone else.

Sorry for not being able to help you on this one.

Best regards,

Nuno Bettencourt

p.s. how to delete a message?

worked for me nice job!!!!!!10x😎😉

Like I said works perfect.But now I saw that only "Face Time"still fails to turn ON and Off if you have any idea why, it will be super.Every other app reacts like it should ON and OFF.Thanks anyway for the solution you've posted.:)

Hi, no idea why Facetime would have that behaviour.

What value is set for facetime in table bundle_info?

Have you tried only changing facetime value to 0? if that does not work, changing it to 1? perhaps doing a device shutdown between both changes?

by the way, if trying the previous approach do a full backup again (so you have the latest changes)before altering the new table values.

Hellow again,I have tried a lot of combinations but stil no effect.I noticed that the "music" app is reacting like "facetime".Every time I export and make changes to the cellular usage file(with now effect on "music" and "facetime")and then I repeat the procedure and I export again the file I notice that everytime the values for "facetime" and "music" are set do 2.

Hi Stankoff,

until you can set those values to either 1 or 2, you won't be able to switch cellular on/off for them with the toggle buttons.

My guess is that you were not working with the latest backup from iTunes (step 3) or maybe forgot to unplug the device from the USB cable (step 18).

Check also step 6 path. Once I missed it and I wasn't replacing the correct CellularUsage.db file.

Power off/on your device before doing another attempt.

Hope this helps.
