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

You are a life saver !

It happened to me twice.It is the only solution that works.

I think that the corruption happens when the phone is switching from wifi to cellular data somehow.

I got 2 and 3 as values in my database file.

Thank you my friend .

I hope apple will see this solution and reproduce the issue for further debugging :)

hmmmm how come its not working in my phone ive followed the step by step but still i cant turn off my data on safari, calendar, contacts, cydia, facetime, mail, notes, passbook.

Hi mark_martin, from what you've written I can't tell why it's not working for you.

In either case, it seams that you're running a jailbroken device and probably some app that you installed is overriding iOS default behaviour.

If you find a solution for your problem please share it afterwards.

Best regards,

I gone through all the step one by one, and after rebooting the iPhone the problem still not fixed.

I've done it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything, but still the **** apps keeps switching back on 😢

any help will be appreciated

Thanks

Great tutorial 🙂 Unfortunately it doesn't work on my 4s 😟 Doesn't seem to overwrite when sent back to phone. Tried different combinations of toggles on apps to proove, something must be stopping the overwrite 😟.

Forgot to say Win 7.

It happened to me once on step 16 that file CellularUsage.db was not replacing the original. Be sure that on the right side of the screen your viewing the WirelessDomain/Library/Databases/ folder in order to overwrite the CellularUsage.db properly.

If you just used the search option and wrote "CellularUsage.db" the tool will look for that file in every folder but the right window will not be positioned on the WirelessDomain/Library/Databases/ folder.

I agree this may seem a bit tricky, but I didn't make iBackupBot 😉

Maybe the same applies to Rockh555

First of all thank you very much for replying, that's very kind of you. 🙂

My iPhone 4S is on iOS 7.0.6, and my mac mini has OSX 10.6.8. Just to let you know.

I actually have done it the way you said in the reply, even at the first 2 times. I didn't search for the file, I looked for it manulay.

but still did not work.

I've noticed that the Permission for the "Cellularusage.db" is (-rw-r--r--) in the iBackupBot. Could this be why it's not rewriting the changes, because it's write only for the admin.

I had a similar problem before, although I AM the ADMIN, but for some reason, the permission didn't let me rewrite.

Also on Step 13, should I EXPORT the file before DISCONNECTING it, or just disconnect.

And Last thing, Step 17, when I right click the imported Cellularusage.db, a window has 3 checkboxes, the upper 2 boxes checked and the third is not. Could that be the problem.

Thank you again nuno.bett, I realy appreciate you helping me, and I hope you can solve this problem because I couldn't find any help anywhere else. 🙂

Please help! I'm up to step 17 but I got the message "No device connected". I have my iTunes open and I can see my phone there but not on iBackupBot.

I'm quite sure your solution will work as I have already found the value 2 in those apps that won't turn off. But now I can't restore the edited values.

I have checked FAQ on iBackupBot's site but couldn't find anything there. Hopefully, you'll know something. Thanks in advance!

CellularUsage.db export should only be done on step 7. On step 13, you just need to disconnect SQLiteStudio from the file. Make sure to apply the changes before disconnecting (if in doubt, connect again to the file and check if valued of Flag column are the ones you set up.

Can you tell what options are there? right now I don't remember what they are but I think I left the default options for that.

Just a lucky guess: try closing you itunes application while using the ibackupbot application and make sure Itunes is not automatically backing up your device.

Well, I connected to the CellularUsage.db after changing the values, and it was OK (meaning all the changes made was there). Then I disconnected it and Imported the file in iBackupBot, and then restored it to the iPhone

and to no luck 😐

I don't know, may be there is something preventing it from being written to the iPhone.

Regarding the Checkboxes they are :

1- Reboot Device after Restore (Recommended)

2- Don't copy backup (by default, iTunes will make a copy of backup after restore)

3- Remove items from device that will not be restored

=============================================

I treid one time with only first box checked, and another time with first 2 boxes checked. I've noticed when only the first box checked that it took longer to restore the file (Actually I could see the bar of progress is being filled) but when 2 boxes checked it was very fast that I could not see it

after that it will say (in both cases) that Restore was done, and as the steps says, I click done, and I disconnect the iphone. It then reboots, and I check the cellular usage and all of the apps are on again 😠

its making me crazy

Thanks for the fast reply and for trying to find the solution.

Restoring from the window on the right from the correct directory, WirelessDomain/Library/Databases/. I'm beginning to think it's a permissions issue as suggested by others.

Maybe it's time to visit a friend or build myself a Hackintosh 🙂

Thanks so much for your response!

If I don't have iTunes open, it shouldn't be backing up? Is that right?

I was wondering if it could be that I'm on OSX 10.9 while iBackupBot is only for up to 10.8. What ver OSX are you using?

If it still doesn't restore (find the device first!) with iBackupBot, do you think it would work just as well if I did a restore from iTunes since CellularUsage.db has already been updated?

Hi Nuno,

Don't worry about my silly question, my cable was connected somewhere else 😊 and I was seeing my phone in iTunes over wifi!!! Must have been falling asleep...or getting too excited to get to the end...

The good news is that your solution worked!!! I knew it would as the logic sounds right, with the corrupted flags. I just hope that there will not be anything that triggers those flags again 😟

Thanks so much for your solution. You should go work for Apple!

HAving read the the last post, I've noticed that iTunes wifi sync is enabled on the phone, could have sworn it was disabled. Maybe that's causing the issue I'm having with restoring the file.

Glad to ear it worked out ok for you 🙂 To easier stuff I will include in the tutorial that WIFI should be turned off in order to prevent these or other problems.

As to go and work for apple, if many if you hit the Like button in my tutorial steps, I'll consider it 😉
