iOS 7.1 Personal Hotspot APN settings won't save on iPhone 4

In this case I will sue Apple unless they either restore the service or pay for the damages caused by their action.

😁😁😁

Salve,

a casa abbiamo n,1 iphone 4, n,1 iphone 4s, n,1 ipad2 - n,1 ipad mini, tutti con il gestore Wind italia

aggiornando a ios 7.1 abbiamo perso la possibilità di utilizzare la funzione hot spot.

Non conosco quali siano i motivi di questa mal-funzione, ma chiedo che venga risolta al più presto e ripristinato il funzionamento dell'hotspot. Se questa fosse una idea malsana di apple, per qualunque suo motivo, credo che sia la goccia che farà traboccare il vaso e mio malgrado dovrò cedere alle tentazioni di altri device con altri sistemi operativi.

Android ci sta facendo l'occhiolino...

Same prob here.. Iphone 5, swedish Telia, Macbook Air mid 2012, OSX 10.9.2. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. If I hammer on and of it works after a while 😟 Maybe...

In un forum americano con utenti da tutto il mondo che si sforzano a scrivere in inglese, lei arriva a raccontarci della sua vita in italiano senza apportare alcun contributo utile?
Siamo proprio italiani, vero?

I just suggested this user to write in english.

This is not a bug and won't be fixed. It is 100% intentional.

Hi! Thia might help:

I bought a sim card from a different carrier (3 italy) which is on this official list of carriers:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937

I activated the sim card and I CAN ACTUALLY MODIFY AND SAVE information on personal hotspot!

As indicated on the tre.it website I changed APN values to tre.it and hotspot to tre.it again.

Went back to settings page and changes were SAVED!

Connected hotspot, tried to connect an ipad, everything working!

In the last two weeks I have contactes apple several times, no explanation; Wind(my carrier) didn't even know what I was talking about! Perfect! If they don't even know

What an hotspot is, I just change carrier, can't waste time.

So that's it, expense: €10. Same plan, same money.

Different carrier!

Still sure is a bug if I can still modify settings with my Iphone4 IOs 7.1

Still this is not a good move from Apple!

Cheers

P.S. For Italian users, try with 3 mobile!

Since darkstarpz's comment was deleted meanwhile, my comment won't be too useful but I wanted to point out, that this protocol is Apple-standard.

If been in a chat-session with them twice (German & US Support) both times with Stanislavs(darkstarpz) result = no result.

I think the support stuff we are chating with is not allowed to tell users that there are bugs, even if they might think so too. They always tell users to move on to the carrier. My chat partner told me, that every carrier has to implement its own part of the iOS update. This was his argument why Apple isn't responsibly for that. But why should my carrier (Eplus/Medionmobile) do a mistake on an iPhone 4 firmaware but not on an iPhone 4s firmware?!

PS: The german support guy had an iPhone 4 as well and after my explanations he decided to to the update live with me.

Unfortunattly his carrier was Telekom (=Tmobile), which is an Apple partner, so his Hotspot worked 😟 Would have been a great experience to make him see my issue...

Keep complaining!

But this is not fair - if apple change their gsm standart or ip protocol - who will be resposne - my carrier because use world standart??? So if i buy iphone which features includes perssnal hotspot but my carrier is not in partneship with apple and what?? I can't use one of major smart phone function, but all my friends with android OS can ?

Hello,

same problem on my IPhone 4 IOS 7.1 with WIND Italian Carrier.

Hope they will fix this issue soon.

For those who say that this bug has been intentionally created for avoiding the thetering abuse of the non-Apple partner, here you can find the link where WIND, the italian carrier which isn't an Apple partner, teach everybody how to use Personal Hotspot:

So, are we abusing WHAT???

im facing the same problem here iphone 5& 4s ios 7.1,i tried everything but nothing worked!!!

I just contacted Apple Support, they say they are aware of the problem since they are receiving lots of support request for this kind of problematic. The operator was very kind and stated that they (Apple) are trying to work with Wind Italy to troubleshoot this issue.

I'll tell you on the next days if there are some kind of news.

I suggest you to contact Apple as well.

Iphone 4s - Belgium - Proximus

Same problem, no hotspot.

My first Iphone...

My last if no solution before 1 april.

Why Apple lie us for this problem - the decision of problem is not only to change our smart phone with Android - we all pay a lot of money for ours iphones so we expect from them to work - is there any organisation which can help us - some government regulation?
