IPad mini/retina Hotspot used by iPhone 5 - Problem

Hello!
Devices: iPad mini retina wifi+cell iOS 7.1.1 & iPhone 5 iOS 7.1.1
i want to use the dataconnection of the iPad with my iPhone (most people want it revers, i know)
Problems to be solved
WIFI:
iPhone drops wifi connection after autolock/sleep mode and can't reconnect like in normal wifis cause:
iPad stops broadcasting the hotspot when in autolock/sleep mode.
i know iPhone wouldn drop the conn. if i deactivate mobilenetwork, but i need it too when i'm not in reach of the iPad - so this is no option
And to keep one or both devices unlocked and active, isn't an option as well...
BT:
Since i read, that BT connections won't be dropped i tried to connect by BT to the hotspot, but this only works from iPhone to iPad (iPhone = Hotspot, iPad = Sink) but if i try it the other way, i get the message the conn. cant be established.
I also tried a VPN to keep the wifi alive in lockscreen, but it won't work above iOS 6 as far i see.
please tell me, that there is any option, app or magical voodoo to solve this problem. i had an galaxy tab befor as hotspot and it worked well... :-( i don't want to go back to samsung!
The best solution would be, if the hotspot broadcast would stay active the whole time...
Thank a lot and i hope someone can help me

pandora? once I got used to it, it bacame second nature to simple reach over and toggle the hotspot off and on. not great if you have the constant need, but if you have the constant need, it wouldnt be shutting down in the first place.
If this is a big issue for you, and there is no persistant wifi available, you might think about a standalone portable hotspot. Pretty much every carrier in the US has one they would be happy to sell you, along with a data plan.
(look on e bay for a used one )

The maximum SOUND level is low on iPad mini retina, compared to an iPhone 4s. Research shows this is a common problem for this model around the world. Has anyone succeeded in solving this issue? Many Thanks, Peter.

Is it normal that the iPad mini Retina iPhone 5S and different color display?

Noticed that iPad mini Retina color colder than iPhone 5S (warmer colors), is this normal

Yes, they have slightly different colors, just like the iPad Air and the Retina Mini will differ.

New iPad mini retina but why can't I download pages and numbers for free?

I have just bought an iPad mini retina and used my current itunes account to register on the iPad. I can see that the keynote that I bought before is free but not numbers and pages. Are they not suppose to be free when buying a new device?

Hi, I did use my current apple ID to activate the device but I can't see it as one of my devices that are registerd to my ID. I have an iPhone and an iPad 2 that shows when I look on the devices connected to my account. Should I reset anything to do new registration? I have tried to log out of itunes account and login again but it still doesn't work.

IPad Mini Retina acts buggy w/ enclosed 10W charger ?

My new 16G iPad Mini Retina 4GLTE came with a 10W charger. But as soon as you plug in the charger (I use an electrical outlet and NOT a computer) the iPad starts acting buggy; it will continuously blink and beep on and off-- the same as usual if the iPad has just been plugged in to charge, but it will blink off immediately and then blink/beep on and off again continuously until it's unplugged.
It's hard to say whether the iPad battery is actually charging in this state, because I unplug it right away from being freaked out. I do not see the little "lightning" charge icon next to the battery indicator though, so I doubt it.
Other 10W adapters from older iPads which have worked perfectly fine before, behave exactly the same way when plugged into the Mini. Thankfully, I have a 5W charger from an iPhone5, and that seems to do the trick.
But what if I didn't have a 5W charger? Is there a fix for this? Shouldn't a 10W charger work fine? Is there something wrong with my iPad Mini Retina?

Is this an Apple charger? Presumably yes.
The Apple 10W charger should work fine with the iPad Mini Retina.
There could be a problem with the Retina iPad Mini.
If this problem occurs regularly take it and the charger to an Apple Store for evalution or contact Apple Support.

Why when I use personal hotspot at my iPad mini retina for my iPhone it doesn't stay for long,it disconnect after 5minute

Please...
Why when I use personal hotspot at my iPad mini retina for my iPhone it doesn't stay for long,it disconnect after 5minute

Assuming you are using OSX, connect iphone ny usb then go to system preferences. Go to network pane and scroll down to "wheel" and from the drop down select service order. If you see the iphone then drag it to the top of the list then select apply.

IPad mini retina, iOS 7 unable to join Personal Hotspot

I have iPhone 5, iPad mini retina running on iOS 7.1.2, Laptop Windows. When I turn on Personal Hotspot (PH), other PC, Tablet,.. suppose to join the PH normally via Wifi, Bluetooth, Cable. But I found that after my iPhone join a 5GHz band wifi, and then I turn on HP, other PC can't connect via Wifi, only can connect via Bluetooth or Cable.
I use a Linksys EA3500 dual band wifi router. It works perfectly for my need
So say in step that won't work:
1. Connect iPhone to a 5GHz band wifi at home
2. Later I hang out and need to share my 3G with my ipad mini wifi, so I turn on PH
3. All devices failed to connect to PH via Wifi, but bluetooth or cable can connect successful
Step that works:
1. iPhone already connect to 5GHz band at home, before I leaving home, I connect it again to a 2.4GHz band
2. Turn on PH where don't have wifi
3. Other device successful connect to PH.
So the problems here is the 5 GHz band problem with iPhone. After connect to 5GHz band, other devices can't connect to iPhone, like it refused other devices to connect to, or something like problem with iOS 7.
p/s: I have already doing the "clean" state of iOS 7 to test on both iPhone and iPad. Do a restore on both device, test its and same problem.

Thanks for your response,
You should check with the apple site before saying this, from iPhone 5 and above, it has already support for 5GHz bands. If my iPhone does not compatible with 5GHz bands how come it connect to 5GHz band back home

ITunes 11.2.1 doesn't let me sync new songs purchased on iTunes to my iPhone 5S and iPad mini Retina

I hope someone can help me. I've purchased 5 new albums on iTunes 11.2.1. I've created playlists and cannot sync them with my iPhoen 5S and iPad mini Retina under iOS 7 (latest version). I check the playlist and sync, but on the iPhone or iPad, the playlist shows the songs being on the cloud. I try to download them and it won't let me me. I have deactivated iTunes Match on my MBP..... I've spent money on new albums that I can't listed to on mu iPhone or iPad. How frustrating!!!

The same thing is happening to me now and it's just been since the update before last, it seems. And the strange thing is that it's only doing it to songs that are demo-versions (I'm a musician) that have no metadata or ISRC codes or anything. Songs in this format have been transferred in the past without any problems, but that's changed; they show up as ghost songs on my iPad mini (which is fully updated) and any playlist that has one of those ghost songs in it will not play, even if the rest of the songs are fine.
I think Apple needs to address this fast because I'm sure I'm not the only one receiving non-commercial Mp3s or .wav files and needs to use them in various forms on our devices!

Can I buy a cellular iPad mini retina display in the US and use it in Canada with a Canadian provider

I want to buy an ipad mini retina with wifi+Cellular because it is cheaper in the us than in canada. Will i be able to use it in canada with a canadian provider(bell, rogers or telus)?

So you really think they are that much cheaper? Look here:
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone/iphone4s
And that's without tax. Think again, while you can purchase such a phone here, you can only purchase directly from Apple & you will have NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT for this phone where you live. Oh, and those prices do not include US state/local sales tax or any duties you might have to pay. Still sound like a good deal?
When using that link, first select the color, then click on "Unlocked & Contract Free", to see prices.

IPhone 6 slow wifi compared to iPad mini retina.

Hi there.
I've got some wifi-issues with my new iPhone 6 running 8.0.2. Wifi speeds are very slow to what I'm used to.
My iPad mini retina gets 100+ Mbits/sec up and down, but my iPhone 6 hardly gets half of that...
The screenshots shows the speeds, measured from exactly the same place (not simultaniously). Distance to the router is ~1m (3ft).
The router is a AirPort Extreme fifth generation.

Same problem here with my 1st gen iPad Mini and iPhone 6. I believe it's a hardware issue.

How can I transfer saved games data (smurf, bakery story, etc) from iPhone 3GS to iPad mini retina?

How can I transfer saved games data (smurf, bakery story, etc) from iPhone 3GS to iPad mini retina? I have a reached in a very high levels at all these games I choose iPad for continuing played all my saved games in the bigger screen of iPad. Please send step by step the way I can transfer them at the levels I have reached.

I have installed all the games from my iPhone 3GS at my iPad mini retina throw iCloud. I did what iTunes suggest but when I open the game start from the beginning. For example all the games of team lava company like farm story 2 bakery home design etc I have register and I took storm ID and I have reached in a big level that some times cost money to change level or to buy gems to continue the games.
I am very angry because before I bought this iPad they told me that I could played my games in a big screen of iPad and this as I can see is nit possible. Apple send me details that didn't help me and everything suggest me is not working.
I fell stupid because I spend my money in an apple product that isn't what I want and the information I have throw apple are fake

Why iPad mini retina smart unlock/lock function not working when I using 3rd party cover with magnetic

I recently bought a leather case from store with smArt unlock/lock function with magnetic. I try to use it on my iPad mini retina when I try to close and open it doesn't work. I already on my smart unlock function inside setting. May I know where is the magnetic area of iPad mini retina ?

The "Lock/Unlock" feature is enabled by installing a compatible Smart Cover/Case (or third-party equivalent) with an embedded magnet in the correct position in the cover. Are you using a real Apple product? If not, the cover/case you are using may not have the magnet in the right place or may not even have one at all.
If you ARE using a real Apple Smart Cover/Case and you have an Apple Store nearby, have them check both the case and cover you are using. You may have a bad magnectic switch on the iPad or a faulty cover/case.
I also remember reading here of a Smart Case/Cover which had the magnet installed upside-down and was repelling rather than attracting. You might want to take the cover off and flip it to verify this...you'll have to slide the cover around in different positions on the right-hand bezel on the iPad to see if you can activate the magnet.

Are iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina both "SIM unlocked" in US? Can I use SIM cards sold in other countries?

I'm planning to buy iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina during my trip to US.
Are they both "SIM unlocked"?
Can I use SIM cards sold in other countries?
Do I need any treatment or/and application when purchase?

If you are not concerned about LTE bands (which will be more diverse and hit-or-miss) the only ones that will matter are these...
3G: UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
2G: GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
This covers almost all the 2G and 3G standards. You will most likely be ok on 3G and in edge cases, at an absolute minimum you will have EDGE speeds since both US and EU frequencies are covered - blech :-)

HT4623 I update my iPad mini retina with iOS 7.1 resulting in not being to down load NOR OPEN PPT, WORD files using iWork, page, can anyone pls help?

I update my iPad mini retina with iOS 7.1 resulting in not being to down load NOR OPEN PPT, WORD files using iWork, page, can anyone pls help?

You want to just use Dropbox until the dust settles. To use it from iWork for iOS (assuming you have the Dropbox app installed on your device), open the document in Keynote (for example), tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), choose Open in Another App, choose Keynote as your format, then choose Open in Dropbox and you will get an option to save it to your Dropbox account. To open it from Dropbox in iWork for iOS, open the document in the Dropbox app, tap the share icon, tap Open in Keynote (for example). It's a bit clunky, but works.
