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

Same here...what can i do?Sell my phone?I need the thethering!!!!!!(i4,telenor hun)

Same problem here in Austria

iPhone 4

Provider: bob

I desperately need tethering for my job!

Is there any fix (apart from switching to Android)?

Is it possible to downgrade from 7.1? I really need a functioning hotspot!

Same problem here, iphone 4 16GB, ios 7.1 indonesia, carrier three. Please apple solve the problem, i really need hotspot

I wonder why Apple community specialists have been so silent on this thread. One is left to assume whether its because the issue is disproportionately affecting those in countries that apple could care less about? As Supepelo mentions, Apple should have explicitly mentioned this new feature of not offering personal hotspot to non-authorized carriers. Otherwise, this is grounds for a class action lawsuit given that personal hotspot is advertised as part of the phone but is no longer available to certain clientile due to the ios 7.1 update. If Apple doesn't care about its clientele outside of U.S., Canada, and parts of Europe, I hope it remembers that at the very least, some of the citizens from the countries it does care to respond to live in the countries they pay little mind to and have the capability to organize a class action. Apple needs to make a statement ASAP clarifying whether this is a new (and permanent) feature or whether its a bug they are actively and quickly working on to correct. Once they make us aware of it, we will make them aware of our plans to leave apple or stay, depending on the statment. Apple should remember that they are many excellent non-apple smartphones with tethering/personal hotspots that are on par with the iphone and with less ridiculous stipulations.

Same problem in Italy: iPhone4 + iOS 7.1 + Wind can't use Hotspot.

Otherwise, iPhone 4S + iOS 7.1 + H3G works flawlessly.

As doc.ben already mentioned, the problem occours in Austria too with the virtual carrier bob (iPhone 4, 16gb). Bob officially allows tethering (and tells you on the website how to do the setup on the iPhone). As you all described, the manual settings for the Personal Hotspot in mobile network settings will be ignored, but the Personal Hotspot feature is available. Sadly it will not work if enabled (USB, WLAN or Bluetooth). Today I put my SIM card into an iPad with iOS 7.1 and tethering worked. Therefore I assume it is a bug and not a feature.

I also called Apple Service. The guy seemed to hear from that problem (with iOS 7.1) the first time. He tried to help me, but I already tried all his solutions.

Hope that Apple responds soon. Otherwise I can't use the phone anymore, cause I need that feature.

I've been chatting to Apple Support as well. The support guy tried to help, but didn't find a solution yet. I'm currently in progress of resetting my iphone and will contact Apple support again then...

I'm getting (more) confused. I have an iPhone 5 in Spain with the non-authorized carrier Tuenti and IOS 7.1. The iPhone keeps my settings for Cellular Data but as seems to be the case for everyone else, it doesn't keep the settings for Hotspot. That said, I therefore have no Hotspot using WiFi but have no trouble using Hotspot (with no settings in the Hotspot section of Cellular Data) via USB. I assume this (having a Hotspot when using USB but not having one using WiFi as I did before updating to IOS 7.1) was the case for everyone, but it isn't? Some have no Hotspot via USB or WiFi or Bluetooth? If that's the case, this doesn't seem like a plan on the part of Apple (but if not why doesn't Apple say something! fix the problem!) because it's too buggy.

I'll rewrite it because you probably have not read my post! Each of you write the problem at this link.

If you do even several times a day, sooner or later they will read it!

Same problem here with IPhone 4 16GB in Austria with Bob.
