IPad2 connection to iPhone Personal Hotspot

I have the iPhone4 that i got specifically to connect my iPad the Personal Hotspot feature. But the connection is not stable. As long as i am using my iPad, i don't notice any problems, but if the iPad is not used, when i go back, the connection to the Personal Hotspot is lost, and it takes a restart of the feature on the iPhone before the iPad can discover the WiFi.  Bluetooth connection is better, but still drops and requires restarting/reconnecting the iPad before it can be used.  This is not caused by going out of range of the iPhone WiFi, as i carry the iPad with me the whole time.
An annoyance more than anything.  When connected to a "normal" wireless router, such as in my home, never see this problem.

this being a user helping user forum where apple dont read or write nobody would be able to answer you question but you can request apple

  • HT4628 connecting to iphone personal hotspot

    I was able to connect to my iPhone personal hotspot via wi-fi.  Now I can only connect via USB cable to my iPhone.  Any thoughts?

    I have an update to this problem.
    If I first connect to the iPhone's network using my iPad then subsequently connect my MBA to the network (I did this whilst the iPad was still connected to the iPhone), browsing works!
    If I then disconnect both devices and reconnect just the MBA, I am back to square one - browsing doesn't work.
    I have now posted this question in the Lion community too as I'm starting to think that this is more of a software issue.

  • Since update, computer won't connect to iPhone personal hotspot through USB cable

    Since a recent software update from Apple, my MacBook Pro will not connect to my iPhone 4 personal hotspot through the USB cable. I can still connect using wi-fi. But often, I'd rather connect through the cable.

    hello,
    i have the same problem on two different iphones 5, with two different mac book pro; the message si "either the cable for iphone is not plugged in or the device is not responding"
    any solution ?

  • Cannot Browse when Connected to iPhone Personal Hotspot

    Hi there
    I don't know for certain that the two events are linked but since I updated Lion on my 11" MBA to 10.7.2 and my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, I cannot browse the web on my MBA using the iPhone as a personal hotspot (cellular data).
    I am connecting to my iPhone's network via Bluetooth.  The network provider is O2 and I have a contract which permits tethering.
    The Bluetooth network connection appears to complete successfully (see below) but when I try to browse the web, nothing loads.
    FWIW, Chrome eventually returns a DNS lookup failure (see below).  Safari just hangs whilst trying to load the requested page - I haven't waited for it to time out (assuming it does).
    I have no such problems browsing the web (or downloading emails) on my iPad (1st gen; also running iOS 5) when it is tethered to my iPhone in the same way, the MBA/iPhone connection worked before the updates and browsing is fine when the MBA connected to the 'net via wi-fi.
    Any ideas as to how I can resolve this?
    John

  • I cannot connect to iPhone personal hotspot. What's the problem?

    I have connected to iPhone hotspot using wifi and USB cord in the past.  My current problem started with my wifi about a month ago.  My wifi on my iPhone would not toggle on (grayed out) for about 2 weeks.  After rebooting and restarting, I finally had to wipe phone clean and start hardware from new.  After powering down several times over the following week, it surprisingly started working again. However, it will continue to go in & out sporadically.  My iPad and loptop will recognize my iPhone's wifi, but will not connect. I can connect through USB cord and iPhone shows 1 connection, but laptop will not pick up connection.  I have also tried to reentered password.  All software is current.  What's the problem?

  • How can I get Windows computers to connect to iPhone Personal Hotspot?

    I've had two different Windows laptops connect for a short while but once it loses the connection, I can't get it back.

    Hi
    Try
    Right click My Compute / Select - Manage / Select - Services and Applications / Double Click - Services.
    You should see in this list your mobile device which maybe name "Apple Mobile Device" or "iPhone Mobile Device".
    See what it says in "Status" column. If there is nothing in it, right click on it and click "Restart"
    Open iTunes and it should be recognised
    If the status shows as "Started" come back and we'll try something else
    Thanks

  • How do i connect my windows vista laptop to iPhone personal hotspot? Will it still work if my laptop doesnt have iTunes installed?

    I am currently using iPhone 4 and windows vista laptop. i cant seem to get my windows vista laptop to connect to the personal hotspot on my iPhone using USB. Is it because iTunes is not installed in my windows vista laptop?
    I have tried it on a MacBook Pro and it works perfectly fine.

    when you switch your hotspot on your phone you will see a user password - when you switch your laptop on and search for your iphone connect and you will be asked for the user password once you enter it and click connect you will link the two devices and they will work together as long as you have a good signal and good data allowance you shouldn't have any issues

  • Use iPhone personal hotspot to connect my iPad with my laptop

    I am living in school residence so I don't have a wireless connection, nor am I allowed to use a router on the school internet.
    I have an iPhone with data plan and personal hotspot. I want to watch movies on my iPad, streaming from my laptop, using some apps like VLC Streamer.
    So my questions are, can I set up a network using my iPhone, and have both my laptop and iPad connect to my personal hotspot? Will that allow me to use VLC Streamer? And will my mobile carrier charge me for the data between my laptop and iPad, which should be considered a local connection?
    Thanks a million!

    Please help me!!!

  • When connecting ipad to iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone?

    When connecting ipad to my iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone? I only figured out I had a problem when my partner did the exact same set up and it showed up as only 1 device connected. I have changed the password and turned it off/on and etc. the really weird thing is now when my ipad is turned off and I turn my iphone personal hotspot on it shows up with 1 connection (when I don't have anything connected) for about 5 secs and then goes off and then 1 device connected for about 5 secs and then back off. This just keeps going on and off. What is going on. Could my phone have a bug or be hacked. Please help as it is kinda freaking me out. Thanks.

    Hello asrt17,
    This may occur if your iPhone is connected to your computer via USB, as it will automatically share the connection via USB.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
    When Personal Hotspot is enabled, your iOS device automatically shares your Internet connection with your computer when connected using USB.
    Example: When you connect iPhone to your computer to charge or sync with iTunes. To avoid unnecessary data charges, turn off Personal Hotspot when not in use.
    Cheers,
    Allen

  • HT204023 How do you view the devices connected to your personal hotspot?

      My mac book is connected to my iPhone, and it is the only device I have allowed to connect, but in the menu bar on the iphone it shows that there are two connections to my personal hotspot.

    You must do this in iTunes on a computer. Read this for the instructions.
