I want to block or possible delete the personal hotspot feature from an iPhone 5

I Have an iphone 5 on a verizon network plan in which I would like to block/ possibly delete the personal hotspot feature. I have a person on my family plan that is eating up all the data using personal hotspot to get internet on an iPad. I still want this person to have access to 4G for gps/emailing purposes, I just don't need him eating up all the data using the personal hotspot feature. So, does anybody know how to block it or restrict the use of it? I've already tried looking on the iphone itself, but no luck. Looked on Verizon website, no such thing either. Any help is appreciated!!

Call Verizon and ask them to block the feature as sberman suggests. You can't access all features from the website. Some of them require that you talk to a rep.

How do I delete the synced offline files from my iPhone?

Hey people! I just unchecked "offline" for all my playlists on my iPhone to free up some memory. However the usage of the Spotify-App is still shown with 1GB. Is there any way to get rid of the cached songs besides reinstalling the app? Regards, Marius

No one from Spotify has posted since Meredith asked for user info regarding the bug. Generally that may not be so surprising as it has only been a couple of months. Howerver, it is not as it was news to the Staff. This thread:Help-iOS-iPhone-iPad-iPod-Touch/How-do-I-delete-the-synced-offline-files-from-my-iPhone is from spring 2012.
My point is that I think it would be good if everyone experiencing this problem made some noise.

Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet. We also use Juniper NCP client to access our system remote. A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers on our network. This works on iPhone 4.

Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet. We also use Juniper NCP client to access our local system from a remote location. A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers in our network. This same functionality works using my colleagues iPhone 4.
Both phones are running iOS 6.1.3. I tried to reset network settings, but still unable to ping servers in our network. This is a feature that our sales team relies heavily on when out of the office. Hoping someone has some suggestions on what is different between the 2 phones.

Hi,
Generally, this issue should be related with something called split tunneling, since you’re using a F5 vpn client, you need to look for something related to split tunneling in the F5 VPN client's documentations.
Here is an example, share it with you as a reference.

HT201302 I imported the photos from my camera rool to my computer and deleted the majority of them from my iPhone 5, however it still is telling me i have a large amount on the camera roll. Why isn't the size reduced?

I imported photos from my camera roll to my computer and deleted the majority of them from my iPhone5, however the size of my camera rooll did not change. Why??

If you have photo stream set up, that can take up a large amount of room, so check that too. And videos take up much more space than photos.

IOS 8.0.2 broke the personal hotspot feature

I have an unlocked iPhone 5S purchased from Apple direct at full price. The hotspot feature always worked on iOS 7.x. I recently "upgraded" (read downgraded) to iOS 8.0.2 and my personal hotspot feature has simply disappeared. It does not appear where it is supposed to be. It is not there at -> Settings "Perosnal Hotspot" and it is also not there under -> Settings -> Cellular or -> Settings -> Cellular -> Cellular Network
(As shown here it simply does NOT appear at all: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/09/23/how-to-use-the-ios-8-hotspot/)
Some have suggested that "maybe a carrier update did this". It's alarming to think that a "carrier" could "update" my phone to remove vital features when I have an unlocked phone purchased outright at full price from Apple and I am using it with a no contract SIM. How this carrier could be allowed to damage my phone by disabling features is beyond me but even so I know this isn't the case because:
1) Others with the same carrier still have the feature.
2) By screwing around with network settings reset, and Settings -> Cellular -> Cellular Network -> Reset Settings sometimes I get it to reappear especially after i enter some garbage data at Settings -> Cellular -> Cellular Network: PERSONAL HOTSPOT "APN" "Username" and "Password" and then doing another Settings -> Cellular -> Cellular Network -> Reset Settings. It appears on the screen Settings -> Cellular -> Personal Hotspot and it's disabled. But when I turn it on it disappears again.
Another horrific iOS 8.0.x bug...

I have also Iphone 5 , also also updated on IOS 8.0.2 few days ago but yesterday i also have this same problem of broken personal hotspot when i was needed, so i seached and seen you post but for me it is benificial that i tried and now fixed the problem, i know this is a bug of IOS 8 but what to do now let's see in future when apple fix it.i did same process like you ....settings....cellular,,,,,cellular data network and in the personal hotspot APN username and password submitted any thing then i return to main then i did reset settings in the cellular data network. i think it is not neccessary to do this reset.
i found personal hotspot in the...... cellular ...and then i switch off and on it was working and then i return back to.... settings....and hotspot was there like before and its functioning like in IOS 7.
Thanks a lot

Accidentally deleted the photos app icon from my iPhone 4s.

I've read the previous threads on this topic but none quite fit the bill. I need to re-install the Photos icon, which has disappeared.
This happened while I was holding my phone but not paying attention; when I looked again the icons were all shaking. I don't know how the icon disappeared because the factory defaults don't offer a delete option, but the icon definately disappeared at that time.
The app itself is still there and, because it was running when I deleted the icon, I can currently still access it by double clicking the main button, where app (and icon) is still accessible there at the bottom of the screen. But this is not convenient for general usage, and if I hard close the app from there then I will have no way to open the Photos app.
I can't re-download the app because it is a factory default app and not available anywhere (and as such shouldnt be deletable!).
The icon isnt hiding anywhere amongst my subfolders, and I've checked for restrictions but there arent any.
Restetting the home screen layout to factory defaults presumably means I will lose all the other app icons I have, and their sub folders etc, which I dont want to do either.
I have now backed up my phone and all my photos etc, but if I restore my phone from a previous backup, I will lose the data and messages I've acquired isince then.
All I want to do is re-install the icon and make sure it links to the photos app that is still installed - surley that can't be so hard?
All help appreciated.
I don't have a Mac and run Windows 7 on a Sony VAIO. All versions of iTunes and IoS are up to date.

PROBLEM SOLVED
ANSWER The exact same thing happened to me today. I accidently deleted my Photo app (with over a 1000 photos in it) but I could still access it by pressing the home button twice. This is because it was with the background running apps (when you press the home button twice it shows all the apps running in the background) but it would not let me drag it to the Home screen.
Well so I was anxiously reading this thread at church to see what to do (I did a search for, 'I accidently deleted my Photo app' and how I came across this thread). Anyway, I searched all my subfolders and everywhere IT WAS NOT IN ANOTHER FOLDER AND THE PHOTO ICON WAS COMPLETELY GONE FROM ANY OF THE DESKTOPS.
Anyway, my phone was dying and no way to charge it so it died at church and so I connected it to my car charger in my car when leaving church and after the iphone came on again, there was the Photo App on my desktop!
So my advice is to let it completely run out of it's charge then later plug into a charger. I have the iPhone 4S going on almost 2yrs now and this is the first time this has happened to me! I was in a hurry getting ready for church and pressed it accidently so I know exactly when it happened (when all the apps have x's and you can delete them ...).
I always delete the backgound running apps to save battery power but I thought now I can never delete the Photo background running app or will lose everything! Hope this works for you all. I know I can connect it to my desktop and all but try this first - much easier...

Does your carrier support that feature on the iPad?

I'm using iphone4 5.0.1 in melbourne(Optus). The personal hotspot cannot work?

What can I do?

According to this list, Optus supports the Personal Hotspot feature. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
Do you pay for a tethering plan? Generally speaking, the carrier must support it. It will be enabled when you add tethering to your plan. Your account must be provisioned specifically for an iPhone.

The personal hotspot has disappeared off my phone?

Anyone have a similar problem with the personal hotspot disappearing from settings menu?

Personal Hotspot is a carrier feature. If you restore the phone, it might take a while before it is available again.
Contact your carrier for more info and have a look at this article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot and iOS: Understanding Personal Hotspot
