iPhone 6 problem with Wifi/Http Proxy settings being lost

In Settings/Wifi, you can set up a Manual Http Proxy

I have noticed a bug only seen on iPhone 6, where it doesn't store the Manual Http Proxy setting you enter.

e.g. You enter a Server and a Port number. If you then press Wi-Fi in top left to exit this screen, it doesn't store your settings and the Manual settting is not there when you come back into the screen.

This does not happen on the following devices

iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1
iPad Mini with iOS 7.1.2
iPad Air with iOS 8.1

It seems to be an iPhone 6 issue, not an iOS 8 issue, as it works in iOS 8 on other devices.

Anyone else noticed this?

Note: This "Manual Http Proxy" setting is used by Web Testers (such as me) when trying to use the program called Fiddler to setup access to development servers (on PC and Mac you edit the hosts file to achieve same thing)

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1

Yes, I am seeing this too on an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.1. Works fine on my 5th gen iPod Touch with the same OS.

I 've met a similar issue. It's about Auto proxy instead of Manual proxy in your case.

I solved it by chose 'Forget this network' then search that wifi, input password connect again.

I guess the reason might be the new iPhone's network connection is restored from back-up of old iPhone?

Anyway, reconnection solved my problem. Hope it works for you too!

Are there any fixes available for this problem yet? I've tried the method mentioned above by 'Forgetting' the network, unfortunately the error remains.

Thanks
