IOS 8.0.2 personal hotspot not able to start

Since upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 I have not been able to connect iPad mini retina to iPhone 6 personal hotspot getting message "unable to start personal hotspot" on iPad.  Both devices are on 8.0.2. Personal hotspot does work from Macbook so I know it is not an AT&T issue. Does not matter if hotspot is turned on or off on iPhone.
Are erie there others with similar issue?

I had this exact same issue between an iPhone 6 and an iPad Air both running iOS 8.0.2
Reported the issue to Apple through chat support - they had no solutions but said theyd raise a ticket with technicians to look into.
In the meantime I found a solution that worked - go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings, and do this on both (all) devices.
It's a little bit annoying because you have to reconfigure some of your settings - but your media is safe, it wont remove any of it.
Now my hotspot is working perfectly 100%, connects every time!!!

  • Ios 6.1.2 - personal hotspot not working

    I just updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.1.2 and Personal hotspot dissappeared form the first list on teh settings menu. If I click settings -> general -> cellular, then it says "Set up Personal hotspot" But if I click that it gets an error message saying "Set up personal hotspot - To enable Personal Hotspot on this account, contact Carrier."
    My carrier is Airtel Tanzania. Anyone else I know who hasn't upgraded says their phone is working fine.
    And mind worked for the past few months.
    Any help????

    The same problem here, did not solve yet.. normally I have this feature hidden in General menu but when I turn on wifi and go to General > Cellular and switch Cellular Data off, after a while the Personal Hotspot appears in General menu, then I switch cellular on (need to have 3G enabled) and Personal Hotspot is there and can be enabled but it works only using USB cable.. as soon as I try to connect using wifi/bluetooth the Hotspot disappears and I get "connection lost" on my Mac and the well known message about contacting my operator on phone..
    This problem is here since iPhone 5.. never seen that message before on my iPhone 4. Operator said that problem can be with iPhone bought from abroad in Apple store (cellular menu is slightly different when I compared it with my colleague who bought it from local service provider), operator also tried to reset my "profile" and re-add internet and sharing service to it.
    I also tried factory reset and wuala, everything is working.. (I restored from iPhone 4 when I got 5 of course). I will not accept this as a solution and already getting sick of it.
    Apple! Show yourself!

  • IOS 5.0.1 Personal Hotspot not working

    I've been relying on my personal hotspot for the last couple of weeks as I'm away from home. Today after the iOS 5.0.1 over the air update on my iPhone 4s the personal hotspot doesn't work anymore and neither does tethered internet sharing. Now I can't share my internet to my win7 pc or my ipad 2. This is really quite annoying, any one face similar issues?

    Go into General -> Settings -> Reset (2nd to last option) -> Reset Network Settings (3rd option)
    Worked for me :) GL :)

  • Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

    Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

    BSNL is not a supported carrier. Personal Hotspot requires carrier support and provisioning of the account to enable it. iOS 7.1 disabled the ability to manually configure Personal Hotspot on unsupported carriers.

  • Iphone4 ios 7.1 personal hotspot not working

    How to do my iphone4 ios 7.1 personal hotspot not active

    I have a similar problem with the hotspot on my iPhone 4 after updating to iOS7.1 and the trouble shooting doesnt help.
    Initially after updating my iphone 4 to iOS7.1 I could turn on the "personal hotspot" and it appeared to work but if a computer joined the network it could not connect to the internet.
    yesterday however I removed and reinserted the sim card (to check the balance on another sim card) and now the personal hotspot does not work at all.
    When I try to enter the APN details for my cellular provider it disappears when I exit the "Cellular Data Network" page and the "Personal Hotspot" tab shows busy for a while then becomes "Set Up Personal Hotspot" which if pressed tells me to contact the carrier.
    Is something wrong with the new iOS or is this a carrier problem - I never had a problem before installing iOS7 and the carrier information works perfectly on my friends iphone 4s on iOS7 - or is this something I need to take up with the carrier.  There doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the APN address on other devices (or before the update) and there is no problem with the internet connection on the phone.
    thanks for your help

  • I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones.

    Hi!
    I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones. All of them are "waiting"... for ever.Even, when trying to download a new app, a "dratf" icon appears on the ipad, not the app's own icon...
    I've tried to switch off and on the iPad, disconnect and reconnect the itunes id... and nothing works. Even deleting an app, to download it again, doesn't work. It even doesn't ask for my password!!! (Stays with the small square with a circle around, the one that gets "bolder" while downloading... but it doesn't get bolder now. Just stay...).
    Any suggestions? I wouldn't like to reset the iPad, since I've got data in some apps that I wouldn't like lo loose...
    By the way, I can not either delete some apps with thos "draft" icons... even when the alert that appears when trying to do that is shown and select "ok".
    Thank you in advance!
    Best Regards,
    Carlos.

    Hi,
    Thank you, Once_was_lost, but it doesn't work either. I tried it yesterday as an option (I think you're referring to the options of those apps in the settings app).
    The problems are still here... I've been able to update some apps using the PC itunes (connecting the app to it), but all the other apps are still "wating", and I have two new strange things:
    * I cannnot remove the apps that are downloading (at least those that are supposed to be downolading ) . But I could remove one from the PC... and now there is an "empty line" in the "to update apps list".
    * Stranger: though I cannot download new apps or music from the store, I can do in-app purchases!!! In that case, I'm asked for the password and the item downloads. How is it possible?????
    I can download with the same user in the PC, in the iPhone... but not in the iPad .
    I'm getting mad...

  • Personal Hotspot not working between iPad Mini and iPhone 6 Plus

    The personal hotspot function between my iPad Mini and iPhone 5C worked perfectly.
    I am now using an iPhone 6 Plus with the same iPad Mini and cannot establish a connection at all.
    Bluetooth and Wifi are enabled on both devices and the iPad says it has found my phone, displays the signal strength, 4G, battery remaining and 2 linked circles.
    When I choose that hotspot it tries to connect then just keeps saying "Remote Hotspot Failure. Unable to start Personal Hotspot. Stuart's iPhone 6Plus"
    Please help!

  • Personal hotspot not working after upgrading to ios7

    Personal hotspot not working after upgrading to ios7

    I was having this problem (iphone 5 wouldn't work as hotspot for my PC laptop) and had tried everything suggested on these message boards, so I finally went to the Apple Genius Bar and they fixed it for me.  Here's what they did:
    1) Turned the Hotspot off on my iphone
    2) Went to the Control Panel on my laptop to "Network and Internet" > "Network and Sharing Center" > "Manage Wireless Networks" (on the left navigation panel) and deleted my iphone from the list of WiFi connections I've attempted.
    3) Flipped the manual WiFi switch on my laptop to Off and then back On again (to reset it)
    4) Turned the Hotspot on my iphone back on
    After that, when I tried to connect, it worked.  Hope this works for someone else.

    I had this same problem with what's app.  There is a new update for the app on the app store which is compatible with ios8.  Update the app, or delete it and re-add it.  I found a lot of apps weren't compliant with ios8, but after updating everything worked fine.
