How is a personal hotspot on my new phone?

I have never set up a personal hotspot. However, my iPhone 5 shows one set up and has a password entered. How could this happen?

A tethering plan (Hotspot) may or may not be included with your plan with your cellular data plan. Some carriers include it at no charge, others charge an extra monthly fee. If you don't want or need it, you may want to clarify with AT&T if you are paying extra. It is my understanding that if you haven't signed up for a tethering plan, the Hotspot option will not show up on the iPhone.

I'm not on the tethering plan and I've got the "Set Up Personal Hotspot" option under my network setting. I haven't pressed it it see if would actually let me do it, but the option is there. The phone isn't jailbroken and has never had anything but the factory software on it.
Prior to the hotspot, I had the set up tethering option too. From what I've heard, though, everyone had the option, but it wouldn't actually work unless you had the tethering turned on by AT&T.
Edit: I pressed the button to set up the hotspot and it brings up a popup window that says you have to contact AT&T to activate the feature.

My old phone broke and I am having trouble figuring out how to restore my contacts on my "new" phone (LG ENV2 Black)...

My old phone broke and I am having trouble figuring out how to restore my contacts on my "new" phone (LG ENV2 Black). Apparently the phone is so old that I am unable to install Backup Assistant on it, which sucks. I have all my old contacts saved on my computer as a CSV and also another copy on a micro SD as VCF. I have tried moving the CSV from my computer to my ENV2 via both Bluetooth and USB cable, but had no luck with either of those. I also tried to pop the micro SD into the ENV2, and although I can load all my old pictures/videos/etc. from the micro SD, I do not seem to be able to restore the contacts from card. I know there has to be some way to manually transfer these files; the contacts are still on my old phone as well; but I was unable to use the transfer wizard for that because my old phonedoesn't seem to be supported by that (Pantech Jester 2)

Google a program called bitpim, that might do what you want. Never used it but it's been talked about on the forums. Other than that you might have to input them manually. Mary

Me and my partner are currently using the same apple id and have no space left on our devices. We are currently waiting on the iphone 6 plus to arrive and don't know how to transfer all data to the new phones.

Me and my partner are currently using the same apple id and have no space left on our devices. We are currently waiting on the iphone 6 plus to arrive and don't know how to transfer all data to the new phones.?

I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

Transfer your purchases from old iPhone to computer iTunes, then select tones in iTunes with your new iPhone connected, do a sync.

How do you restore iphone as a new phone?

Hi there,
How do you restore iphone as a new phone? Actually, I know how to restore it but I'm not sure how to get the files back on after... I don't really understand how this will be any different from just restoring from a backup if I'm just going to put the content on later anyways.
Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated!
The reason I'm asking about this is because my battery life on my 4S is soooo bad!
Brandon

Ah. So, the reason it'll help to use as new device is because typically the app data is not the issue. It's a corrupt system file. So using new device takes away any corrupt system files and almost always solves most any issue. However it does cause the pain of having to add everything back. I've done this in cases where restoring from backup just didn't solve my issue. It ***** but is sometimes needed.

How to fix Personal Hotspot

Hey all,
If like many people you're having problems connecting to Personal Hotspot (especially from an iPad) read up!
I was getting really frustrated with connecting my iPad to my 4S via Personal Hotspot. After a fresh boot of the phone it would work as expected but if the connection was terminated (say by switching hotspot off and on) or after the two hadn't been connected for a while it got into this state where I could see and connect to the hotspot but it would drop a few seconds later then try again over and over.
After a lot of experimenting I finally figured out that there seems to be a pretty serious bug in the hotspot's DHCP server. AP discovery and WPA authentication work great but in this weird state the iPhone will not give the connecting device an IP. The only solution to fix the DHCP server is to reboot the phone.
To avoid having to constantly reboot the phone, you need to give the connecting device a static IP address. This gets around the DHCP issue.
For the less technically inclined, here's how to do that with an iPad:
- Reboot your phone and connect to the hotspot as usual and ensure the connection works
- On the iPad go to Settings - WiFi and tap the arrow to the right of your iPhone's name
- Write down all the values you see under the DHCP tab
- Tap the Static tab
- Enter in the same values you just wrote down
- Hit "WiFi Networks" at the top to go back
The iPad will now reconnect using the same settings as DHCP would have given it, but without relying on the broken DHCP server. Subsequent connections will use this same information too. This is also faster than having the iPad wait for DHCP to respond so it's not a bad idea even if yours usually works.
Optional extra: Instead of using whatever DNS values the DHCP server (and by extension your mobile data ISP) gives you, use OpenDNS IP's instead. This will speed up YouTube due to their partnership with Google and prevent your ISP from traking your web usage via DNS interception. To do this enter the following into the DNS field under the Static tab: 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220 (note the comma)
Cheers,
Graham

I found this happend to my ipad 1 and nothing seemed to resolve the problem......But I found a way around this quite easy: 1. Turn on personal hotspot on your iphone or what ever phone you may have that has this feature. 2. turn on bluetooth on your phone and your ipad. 3. search devices on your ipad and find your phone through the bluetooth feature. 4. now connect the 2 devices and your phone will start to flash "personal hotspot connection"
Your ipad infact does not even need a personal hotspot icon anymore to connect to your phone, its all done through bluetooth anyway. The only downside is that you will not be able to connect the 2 devices via wifi which you could do after 5.1.1 update , but at least you can still tether your 2 devices and enjoy internet on your ipad without needing a 3G sim version of ipad. Hope this helped

HT204023 I am not able to use the personal hotspot in the new ipad 4g version. Please help me out in this case

I am not able to use the personal hot spot in the ipad 3 the new one .

It should be in Settings > General > Network > Personal Hotspot - if it's not there then have you checked with your carrier to see if they support it on the iPad (and even if they support it on the iPhone they don't necessarily also support it on the iPad) ? It may also be an extra fee/subscription from them, and you could check if there is a carrier update.

How to activate personal hotspot

Please tell me how to start using the personal hot spot feature.. It says contact carrier however the carrier Idea cellular has no clue about this feature and they say its a phone feature so please contact iphone customer care.. Any tips.. Idea Cellular user in Pune circle..

Personal Hotspot is a feature that requires carrier support. If you are in India, there are 2 supported carriers. Aircel and Airtel. Both of them support this feature.
Idea is not a supported carrier.
Switch to a supported carrier if Idea can't figure out how to activate it.
