I have the same issue as the poster below so I decided to post the issue on my blog, the link to the forum is below.
Update ! FIXED!!
"My iphone 4 running iOS 7.1 The problem is that I can change the APN settings for data and mms, but if I want to set any values in the "Hotspot Tethering" section, for example I want to set the apn to 'online', and I navigate back to 'Mobile' then I want to check my freshly set APN name and guess what 'online' disappeared. This happens to all of the fields if any of the fields are changed/touched which are in the "hotspot tethering" section. Oh and if I only change cellular data and mms section values it is stored nicely... I tried network restore(General -> Restore -> Network Restore), full restore, and even firmware change and then complete full wipe again. And nothing could solve my problem. I hope that someone has already faced this problem and can help me out. I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!" Link

Same problem with my iphone 4 since I updated with this damned upgrade 7.1

"Talked to Apple Support. They know the problem.
They say in some cases a iPhone restore helped and they worked for a solution to fix the faliure.
Apple Support assure it was a mistake, and they will fix it in a iOS 7.1.x relase soon.
They say it was not planned to stop hotspot support of not official carriers, it was only a bug."
So there seems to be some hope. PJP
Three weeks ago, and continue to deny the error.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion if apple wanted to do something, they would have rectified this within a week. According to my calculations it has now been 4 weeks since the upgrade and still Apple remains silent. Steve Jobs must be turning in his grave, this is not how he ran Apple.
ReplyDeleteI have the same issue with iphone 4 that APN setting is not being saved..... Apple new updates are really degraded, no pre-testing of update, just once update is ready is released to make a media topic of Apple Innovation!! Fu**k shit

This isn't a bug or a flaw. They've done it on purpose to accommodate the US telecoms companies who want to charge differently for this. They won't admit an 'error' because it isn't one.
ReplyDeleteThe real proof that this is not a bug is the amount of time that Apple has let pass without making an official statement or fixing the issue.
ReplyDeleteWell Apple finally fixed the tethering issue with the release of the iOS 7.1.1, below are some of the comments on the Apple support Forum.
