How to get personal hotspot in my iPhone 4S

The hot spot in my IPhone 4S is missing, how can I get it

Does your cellular provider offer a tethering plan (required for Hotspot)
Have you subscribed to a tethering plan?

  • HT203302 How to get Personal Hotspot working consistently?

    Hi All,
    I have an iPhone 5s 16gb and an iPad Air 32gb (non cellular).
    I'm having issues with the personal hotspot working/not working intermittently.  It never connects first time, even though wireless,Bluetooth and hotspot are all turned on, I have to toggle them off then on again for my iPad to pick up my iPhone.
    Even then my iPhone says I have one device connected but iPad doesn't show as connected and wont work, again toggling on and off seems to rectify this and it will connect after a couple more attempts.
    If I leave my iPad for a couple of minutes and it sleeps the connection is lost again and I have to go through the rigmarole of toggling everything on and off again to get it reconnected.
    I was led to believe that with IOS8 the personal hotspot experience was supposed to be a lot easier, it certainly doesn't appear that way at the moment............if anything it's worse. You would have thought that this would have been a piece of functionality that should work flawlessly but Apple appear to have dropped the ball on this one.
    Wondered if anyone else is having similar issues? Maybe I have missed a setting somewhere that I don't know about but if anyone can help that would be great.
    Thanks, Andy.

  • Anyone know how to get the hotspot off an iphone?

    The hotspot is taking all of my data, and I want  it off

        We don't want to see your data being used unintentionally, 19_kaykay_94. On most iPhones, you can turn Hotspot on or off by going into Settings>Cellular>Personal Hotspot. You may even see it a step earlier in Settings depending on the software version you have.

    What happened to my Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 4 6.01 OS?  It has disappeared, how do I get it back?

    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.
    No joy, then talk to your carrier about tethering.

  • How can I circumvent ATT's $50 a month fee to set up a personal hotspot using my iPhone 6?

    How can I circumvent ATT's $50 a month fee to set up a personal hotspot using my iPhone 6?

    AT&T does not do hotspots with unlimited data accounts. They are wanting you to change to a different account (I am assuming family plan) but there is no $50 fee per month for hotspot. You would be better served to go to an AT&T corporate store and do some rate comparisons.
    There is no way to go around that limitation that can be discussed here. If you do stray elsewhere to do so keep in mind that if AT&T detects you going around the limitation it will get quite expensive.

    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.

  • 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,

    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
