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

What Apple wants from his customers?

1) I've paid my iPhone 4S 900 euros;

2) I'm used to buy music and apps from iTunes store;

3) my iCloud space costs 32 euros per year

and, like me, millions of customers around the world!

and Apple does not allow me (and many others) to use the internet traffic for which I (we) pay my (our) provider, that's not among those that directly sell iPhone??? Is this your idea of a really unblocked device as you falsely declare from the pages of Apple online store ?!? Shame on you!

If I had know that the 7.1 led to this I'd never updated my iPhone. No one (Apple and the sites that live because of her) told about this issue in their enthusiastic comments on the new, updated version, of iOS. Shame on you!

This would claim a class action against such a behaviour!

I'm disgusted

thank you

Thanks Apple for removing my last post - if you want to be really shure that nobody will express opinion please delete all discussions and leave only ads for most advanced OS- IOS 7.1! We are clients of your company - we belive in your product and everyone of us want ANSWER!

For Apple's customers service the problem with personal hotspot si only a bug, and we have to wait iOS 7.1.1 in the next weeks

Where did you read this? Apple is so quite and customer support tell us that this is not a bug!

could now feel the absence of Mr Jobs.

Dear Apple team,

This small issue may not be a threat to you, but i bet that not a single person who are suffering because of your update will neigther buy an iphone nor suggest an iphone to anybody. My operator started legal proceedings against your words "Unauthorized carriers" and your suggestion to port out to "authorized carriers". I know you will delete this post.

Same problem here.

iphone 4 iOS 7.1

Golan Telecom Israel. APN and hotspot worked perfect until the upgrade. Carieer claims it's a OS-problem.

It is all very simple. Before IOS 7.1 everybody was happy and everything was working. We all updated to IOS7.1 on different dates, the problem only occured after the update, therfore the carrier cannot be held responible only the software/firmware provider.

If Apple have changed there policy, they should have made it clear before the update, that the personal hotspot may/will not work after this update. I reply on this Hot Spot for my work, now I am loosing money. Thank you Apple

I was waiting for the iPhone 6 later this year, i am now thinking again!

iPhone 4, Base/KPN - Belgium

I've been discussing this problem with Apple Support (by phone) and they are investigating it. It is a problem with OMV (Virtual Carriers) and iphone 4. They told me that as soon as possible a new upgrade will be available.

I hope so!

Ok, I think you haven't read at least some of the replies... IS NOT JUST IPHONE 4, some 4S, 5 an 5S too, AND ALSO IPADS... my Ipad 4, bought last year and using a diff carrioer than my Iphone ( but both devices factory unlocked ) is on same problem

Same problem with Base on the 4

Hi,

I had the same problem with Base in Belgium and my iPhone 4 ios7.1 .

Base has no contract with Apple and due to a very bad contact with the support team from base, I've decided to switch to Mobistar which has a contract with Apple.

Conclusion : Personal Hotspot works again, no need to change my nearly 4 years old iPhone 4 ! :-):-):-)

As stated a few posts ago, being this a user-to-user forum, it is probably better to provide a direct feedback to Apple (i.e. through Apple Support or http://www.apple.com/feedback/).

By the way, I filled the feedback form yesterday but so far no reply from Apple.

(I am on Iphone 4 + Wind Italy carrier: personal Hot Spot lost since I updated to iOS 7.1...)

Unlocked Iphone 4,

Bob Austria,

Settings dissapear when insertet the Mobile config setings since 7.1. Hotspot prior worked well for me.

Seems a LLL (loose) situation:

Provider does not earn money, I wasted time while triing configuring the Hostpot, Apple support wasted time for triing to Help -> no help.

I urgently recommend to fix this problem. First support on telephon was a liitle messie, second telephon support asked me to give feedback if I found a solution. (For what reason - to forbid it again?)

I am dissapointed and lost time and Money,

Cheers

I did the same: iPhone4, ios7.1, Proximus. No personal hotspot anymore. Switched to Mobistar, and bam, it worked.

btw, and fyi, Proximus and Base are not virtual carriers, but they have no "contract" with Apple.

As long as it's silent on Apple's side for me it's an evil feature, instead of a bug :-)

Same problem here. iPhone 4 16gb, The Netherlands, Tele2 (virtual carrier using the T-Mobile network). Personal hotspot stopped working after updating. This is really annoying, as I use it with my car's satnav (Live traffic).

My girlfriend also ownes an iPhone 4. Her carrier is T-Mobile and her personal hotspot works flawless.

Hope iOS 7.1.1. wil fix the problem very soon. This situation *****.

Maybe downgrade to 7.0.6?
