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

Personal hotspot missing on iphne 4 after upgrading to IOS 5

Since i upgraded my iphone 4 to IOS 5, the personal hotspot disappeared on the settings.
can anybody help me how to fix this.

Apple has not been forthcoming on the explanation. My Siri worked on my iphone4 (not 4s) immediately after upgrading to IOS5, but I take it they have redirected the servers that used to support Siri to only work with Iphone4s.
It is one thing for apple to only bundle the improved Siri with IPhone 4S, or for them to remove Siri from the Ap store.
But it is another thing all together for apple to purchase a company, and then cease the service that many of us paid for.
Attempts to contact apple at apple store and via email have been unhelpful.

Personal Hotspot disappears from iOS 6

When I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6, my Personal Hotspot showed up at first, then disappeared when I tried to use it. I have rebooted my phone and reinstalled iOS (clean and backup) to no avail several times. AT&T says it's an Apple issue, but Apple closed my ticket opened through AT&T with no solution.

This is exactly how I fixed it:
1. I went online to my AT&T wireless account and switched from the 5GB DataPro plan to the 3GB DataPro plan.
2. I rebooted my phone.
3. I went back to my AT&T wireless account and re-selected my 5GB plan.
4. I rebooted my phone again.
The personal hotspot is now available and I am using it as I type this.
WARNING: If you have an unlimited data plan, I would call AT&T and have them do something like this for you. You don't want to lose that unlimited plan if you're grandfathered in.
To the person that suggested this trick, I thank you. And I hope this will help others that are having this problem. AT&T and Apple were absolutely no help in fixing this problem.

PERSONAL HOTSPOT MISSING IN IPAD MINI

Personal hotspot is missing on my ipad mini!! can anybody help me how to get it back or is it the issue with the carrier?

Hi,
I faced the same problem with my iPad mini iOS 8.1 version software.
After checking support communities I tried resetting the software by holding the power and the menu key together for about 15 seconds till the apple logo appeared and resetting the iPad. sometime after trying to 2 or 3 times yesterday the hotspot menu appeared but the same was not working. It always said contact carrier for using the same.
Then today when I went to carrier they could not solve the problem.
While checking again I noticed after restarting my iPad I again lost the hotspot menu.
Once again I started from beginning. In my case I could find the solution as given below:
1) Go to settings
2) Go to cellular data
3) Go to APN settings
here you will find 3 set up options:
a) cellular data
apn : kindly type the GPRS settings of your iPad internet services provider
example: aircelgprs or aircelgprs.po
something like that
leave username and password blank.
b) lte setup options should be used by late users same system as above kindly check with your service provider for the same.
c) personal hotspot
APN: pls set up same as the one using gprs setting or lte setting in case you are using lte.
leave username and password blank
after this i went back to main settings menu and restarted the phone. Hotspot menu was back with all its glory. I reset the phone again and it was still there.
I feel this solution may work since it feels systematically and logically ok.
I hope this solves the issue for all my friends worldwide who face this problem.
Thanks and Have a nice day with your iPhone or iPad.

Personal Hotspot doesn't work correctly

After upgrading my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 (Wi-Fi only) to iOS 5, the Personal Hotspot doesn't work the same way as it was in iOS 4. In iOS 4, I had the Personal Hotspot always turned on on iPhone and whenever I took the iPad and wanted to connect to internet, it connected almost immediately and automaticaly to the iPhone. Now (in iOS 5), I have the personal hotspot turned on again, however, the iPad even doesn't see the iPhone wi-fi. I have to unlock the iPhone, go to the settings (change nothing!) and than the iPad see the wi-fi. It is not automatical. Personal Hotspot was the reason, why I bought only wi-fi iPad and now it doesn't work well. Do you have any idea what to do?
Thanks

I have similar but mind bobbling issue. Using iPhone 4s with os5.01. Turned on hotspot, on the cellular data, tried reset network setting to factory default but my hotspot signal is not discoverable by my ipad2, laptop and other wireless devices.
Went to office, get my friend using iPhone 4 running os4.35 to turn on hotspot. Immediatedly found his hotspot in my ipad2 and the funny thing is that my hotspot signal from 4s suddenly pop up in my ipad2 wifi network, appeared in my laptop and other nokia phone without me touching anything on my 4s. Able to connect and work well. But as soon as I turn off the hotspot, it became not discoverable again when turned on. Tried resetting the network setting but nothing worked.
The next day, the hotspot signal become discoverable again as soon as my friend turn on his hotspot. It seemed that my hotspot signal need a another hotspot signal to appear. This is ridiculous. If my friend is not around, I will never get my hotspot connected to my iPad2 or make use of this capability.
Sounds funny but this is true and proven. It has been a week now that I keep repeating the same thing in office. I tried not turning off the hotspot after it is discoverable but it is draining off the battery faster.
Any tips you can share....

iOS: Understanding Personal Hotspot - Apple Support

HT1414 What happened to my "Personal Hotspot"!!????

Two days after upgrading to iOS 6, my "Personal Hotspot" magically disappeared from the settings menu. I backed up my phone on my computer, then 'erased all content and settings', then restored my phone. I'm missing some Apps (whatever) but still no "Personal Hotspot"!! I need to tether my phone to my laptop for work and this is crippling!! Does ANYONE know how to fix this??

Ok, sorry, I did not follow those directions correctly. Settings, general, cellular and it was there. My understanding then would be the location to find it in the menu changed with the iOS 6 upgrade. Since I found it, turned it on, then off, it has reappeared back in the initial settings menu, four options down from the top.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter, I can breathe again.

Cannot turn off personal hotspot

iPad Air running latest iOS version.
iPhone 6 running latest iOS version.
Personal Hotspot is turned off on my iPhone. My iPad can see its Personal Hotspot as available to connect to.
I tap the entry for the iPhone Personal Hotspot, the iPad connects to it ... even though it is not turned on.
My iPhone confirms this by the telltale blue strip appearing at the top of the screen indicating someone has connected to the phone ...
I check the Personal Hotspot section within iOS and sure enough it has turned itself on.
I turn off the Personal Hotspot again ...
The iPad then shows an alert to indicate its connection has been terminated.
But shortly after, the iPhone Personal Hotspot (which I turned OFF) entry appears in the wireless connection list on the iPad and I can tell it to connect again. I click the entry, and the iPad connects again via Personal Hotspot to my iPhone.
I Have told he iPad to 'forget this device' and it still connects with no issues whatsoever ...
Also, the iPad is able to connect to my iPhone without giving the password that I have set up!!
HELP!
This is a security problem surely?

I was having the same issue after updating iOS in both devices, iPad Air and iPhone 5s my iPad could see my iphone hotspot even tho it was shut off. After reading everyone's reply all I'd did was sign out of iCloud on the iPad and no more issues.
The problem with this solution is you lose all of the benefits of being in the iCloud connection space, which are many and getting to be even more.
The reported problem is that you see a hotspot connection available on your iCloud devices. No one else sees it and it really isn't live until you connect to it. In the old days (before this release) only advanced users could take advantage of a Hotspot. Now they have done away with the concept and your devices can see each other and if you need a wifi connection for one through another's LTE you can do it automatically by just selecting it from the receiving device.
Bottomline, now the fact that you can see a potential hotspot connection with one your devices (and no one else can see it) doesn't seem to be a problem to me. Once I got used to see it in the bottom part of the list (the not yet active part), I like it. It's easier to start up a hotspot and is only confusing to those of us who used to go through all of he steps previously. New users to iOS don't even have to know what a hotspot is and they can connect their devices. That's why they switched.

IOS 7.1 with iPhone4 (Personal Hotspot)

Dear Technical support team.
I'm used an iPhone4 after update iOS7.1. The personal hotspot can not turn on. Begin I was reset all network and restore my device but not work. After I checked Setup manu>Cellular>Cellular Data Network. I fill data in Cellular Data toppic, MMS toppic and Personal hotspot and click back to Cellular menu.
And I checked in Cellular menu again. I don't found data at Personal hotspot. Until can not turn on personal hotspot. Please let me know how to fix it?
Thank you fot your assistant.

I experienced the same issue with my Lenovo T510 and Windows 7 with iOS4.4
The solution was to uninstall "Thinkvantage Access Connections" from the "Add/Remove Software" Control panel. Now it works (However, it takes a while from the first connection to the WiFi until I get a working connection. You have to give it some time).
