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

I'm using a 16GB iPhone 4s, with the latest version of iOS 7 as of writing this, version 7.0.3. Whenever go to the "Cellular" settings on the main settings page and turn OFF cellular data usage for a lot of my apps except for a few key apps that I need it for (Mainly Mail, FB Messenger App, Google Maps, and What' s App that I leave on), the moment I back out and come back in, almost all the apps I turned cellular off for are back on again. I've tried turning background app-refresh off thinking it was overriding my cellular settings, nothing. I've tried restarting my phone a bunch of times, nothing. Nothing I do seems to fix this issue and it's frustrating because I have the minimum data plan from AT&T and I can't turn cellular off completely because I don't have a texting plan and depend on iMessages, FB Messenger, and What's App to get messages from people, and a lot of times it can be urgent so I need to figure out how to fix this stupid bug. Anybody else have a similar issue and/or know how to fix this?

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

It started to happen in my iPhone after the update to iOS 9.

I've tried the procedure posted here, even deleting the Cellular.db file and issue still continues (I've confirmed the file was deleted because a new one was generated, but the apps that does not work with cellular data shows a value of 4 instesd 0 or 1).

It looks something changed in iOS 9 in the way it works.

It's driving me crazy!!!!!
