HT204023 Personal hotspot issue

Help please ! I have an issue with my ipad mini 32G 3G.
My personal hotspot is dissappearing when my carrier is turned on & won't come back unless I reset all settings again.
After the reset when the carrier is turned on it will go away again.
Thank you

At the bottom right of this page is the Contact Us link.
Personal Hotspot is already included in the firmware of the "new iPad with WiFi + Cellular". Apple does not need to add this feature - it is already there.
However, whether this feature is available to customers is controlled by the network operator you use. Some don't offer it at all. Some require you to pay an additional charge, and with some it is included in the standard data tariff you already pay. You would need to contact your network operator to find out which category they are in.
Apple cannot enable Personal Hotspot for a network operator that does not want to offer this feature to their customers.

  • Personal hotspot issue with ios6 on a Iphone 4

    So here is the deal.  Before ios6 I could connect my 10.1" Samsung Galaxy tablet with no issues to my Iphone 4 via personal hotspot. 
    I've recently updated both devices to their newest OS.  Samsung Galaxy tab to 4.0 and ios6 for my Iphone 4.
    I believe the problem lies with the Iphone due to the huge forum threads on wifi issues. 
    I can connect to my Iphone via bluetooth on the Samsung (to which some people will say well there is your solution), but I would like to try and conserve battery power as much as possible and sometimes have multiple devices connected to my Iphone (laptop, and tab at the same time).  So one solution would be better on battery life. 
    Additionally my laptop can not see the wireless hotspot when using wifi instead of tethered connection.
    Hopefully someone out there can help me figure this out.
    Thanks!

    Sorry, Apple has no approved method to downgrade the version of iOS on your iDevice. You can voice your displeasure with the iOS by leaving feedback at the appropriate subsection from the link below.

  • HT204023 Personal hotspot does not appear

    my personal hotspot does not appear ever since I updated my iPhone. How do I fix this??

    My carrier AT&T DOES support this feature, and I have been a loyal user up until the 4.3.3 update, when it's totally not there anymore.  What's going on?  I'm seeing many who have this issue!

  • HT204023 Personal Hotspot: Which is better? Wifi Vs Bluetooth (or both together)

    Hi, If i'm using my iPhone to share internet with my iPad using personal hotspot. Is Wi-Fi better than bluetooth as a sharing option or should I use both solutions together? How does each solution afect my internet speed?
    Thanks.

    You do one or the other...real world...not much difference in speed, that you'd notice, whether you use WiFi or Bluetooth. Really a matter of convenience.

  • IOS Personal Hotspot issues via Wifi

    Is there any way that I can get my Wifi-only iPad to ONLY link to my iPhone's personal hotspot, without my iPhone jumping to various unsecured (and often slow and unreliable) Wifi networks?
    This has seriously got to be the single-most frustrating user experience for me with iOS. It's clunky, messy and terribly inconvenient.
    It would be nice if I could turn off "external" Wifi and just use a dedicated "internal" Wifi connection that connects to my iPhone's 3G radio, but the iPhone's.
    I live in Korea where where unsecured Wif networks are so ubiquitious, but 90% of the time, you can't use them. It becomes especially problematic if you're riding on a bus or subway and having your iPhone jump between various unsecured Wifi networks, and which renders your iPad totally useless, if you have no connection.
    I've tried the bluetooth only connection, but man, iOS really makes you jump through hoops and screens just to switch between all these settings. Scott Forstall and his iOS team failed epically here. There is just no elegan

    I have an iPhone 4s with the Hotspot turned on.  However, I could never see the wifi connection when using my laptop or iMac.  The key to get this to work is to go to the Settings screen, and tap on Personal Hotspot and tap the ON button.  Once you do this, Do not leave the Personal Hotspot screen!  Connect to your Hotspot within 90 seconds or before the iPhone goes to sleep.

    Hi there. I have an iPad 2 which is running version 5.1.1  (9B206). I need to know how to enable Personal Hotspot. I cannot find the option in Settings to enable it.

  • HT204023 Personal HotSpot - View Who is Connected

    Really Apple, You have NO Way of seeing the users connected, their mac address, hostname or anything relevant?
    If I want to disconnect a device I just simply "turn off personal hotspot" - and that's your solution to me wanting to know who is connected or disconnect 1 user?
    I understand you are trying to make the iPhone EXTREMELY easy to use, but do us all a favor and add this feature!

    Here ya go, you can tell Apple directly.

  • Personal Hotspot Issues

    I am trying to connect my Ipad to my Iphone 4s via the personal hotspot facility however it doesnt appear to be working. When I turn on wifi on my Ipad, it locates my Iphone. The Iphone shows that I have one device connected however there is no connection. It appears to just keep searching. I had this working yesterday but I'm having no luck today. Can anyone help?
    Chris

    use your laptop to find the dns settings when your using your iphones hotspot and put them into your xbox settings, it should connect then.
    connection is still bad though, you are stuck with strict nat restrictions and it lags alot
    even with all that its still better than virgin broadband lol

  • Personal Hotspot issues on iPhone 6 plus

    I have the Sprint "unlimited everything family plan". I do not have the option for Personal Hotspot for my service. My iPhone 6 plus has a link to set up a "Personal Hotspot" on my phone "only" when I'm away from Wi-FI or LTE for a short while. 1: I don't want that service. 2: When it appears, it renders my iPhone useless and virtually inoperable, especially won't make or receive calls. 3: I have to keep resetting my phone to make it go away. Sprint Store ***** tried to tell me he fixed it, when in actuality, he just reset my phone settings for the network too and stated, "there, no more problem". I did a complete restore of the iPhone hoping the problem would go away, unfortunately the "Personal Hotspot" link popped up again. I might also state, that it doesn't appear on my phone under "Settings" "Cellular". It just pops up out of the blue when I'm away for Wi-Fi or LTE? I can't just access the link either, as I don't have that service, but when it does pop up to set up a Personal Hotspot, it just keeps searching and searching for a Hotspot that doesn't exist. Then I have to reset again. I'll be taking it to the Sprint store tomorrow for a replacement or go back to an Android phone again.

    Okay, so I have the screen shots of it happening now. When this happens and I click that popup, "Call", "Go to Website", "Cancel" nothing happens. I have to completely reset my network settings and I'm also unable to make phone calls. Messaging does work in this status. A

  • IOS 5.1 personal hotspot issue

  • HT204023 Personal hotspot not supported

    I have paired my iPhone and iPad before with no trouble but now it says iPad not supported. Any ideas

    The way it should work is If you are sharng the internet from your Phone,
    Then you turn on Hotspot on the Phone, wait a moment, and then  from the iPad, either look in the Wifi section for the Phone's name, or if you want to do it through bluetooth, turn on bluetooth on both devices, and again search for the Phone in the list of Bluetooth Devices.
    Once found in any of these cases you can tap on it to initate the connection. If you did it through Wifi you will then be asked for the password that was set in Hotspot configuration. If you did it through bluetooth, it should simply connect. 

  • Personal Hotspot from iPhone 5S not detected

    The SSID that my 5S has supposedly created is not being seen by my iPad Air. I did manage to connect by entering the network name and password manually, but the connection dropped after about half an hour.
    The phone is updated with Software version 7.1.2 (11D257)
    What else is there to do to get this working?

    Hey masaras42!

  • HT204023 I was able to activate and use my personal hotspot with my iPad4 yesterday but today it says I have to contact my carrier!  I did make the $50 payment today as my data was used up this morning, could that be the issue?  How long does it take to w

    So yesterday was the first time I used my iPad's personal hotspot, and it was great.  Just click on it and typed in the password on my laptop.  This morning while working out my iPad's data plan ran out so I paid another $50 and was good to go.  However when I tried the personal hotspot, I get a message to contact my carrier.  What is up with that?

    Contact your carrier and ask them.

  • Issues with Personal Hotspot on iPhone 5

    I have an iPhone 5 with the latest iOS update 7.0.4.
    When I enable the personal hotspot on the iPhone it does not show up in available connections on my PC.
    I have searched around the web and have seen many postings about this issue and have tried many of the suggestions provided by frustrated users and experts. None of these has fixed the issue.
    One suggestion:
    1. Set Airplane mode off
    2. Set WiFi to off
    3. Set Bluetooth to off
    4. go to Cellular -> Personal hotspot and if it was on turn it off for a few seconds then back on.
    5. cycle WiFi on the PC.
    This worked one time and only very shortly.
    Another suggestion was to change the last character of my personal hotspot password then change it right back.
    This also worked only once.
    Very frustrating. I need this functionality for work and need some help getting this resolved. Also note I am on a business account.

        funnylion,
    Let's look further into this! Have you tries troubleshooting the PC in effort to resolve this since the hotspot does work with your Mac? You mentioned you weren't able to connect immediately, does the device eventually connect or not at all? Try resetting network settings here http://vz.to/1eFK7ns and try pressing and holding the sleep/wake button at the top of the phone and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Please test and share. Thank you.
