Hi,

    I'm talking about the PAID FOR "Personal Hotspot" AT&T feature that comes with a 4GB dataplan. If you have a Jailbroken phone then this isn't for you.... Anyway, upgraded to IOS 5 and at the worst possible time I discovered that my phone no longer had the ability to share it's over the air data with my Laptop. Restarting the phone didn't help, turning cellular data on and off didn't help and after hitting a wall I called AT&T's tech support number as I had a strong suspicion what the problem was and that they'd be able to help. Despite explaining the problem and proposing a quick fix the agent made reference to an internal memo saying there are bugs in IOS 5 and that my lack of tether was an Apple software issue and I had to call them. Frankly in this case it's VERY MUCH an AT&T provisioning issue, and one AT&T should have their techs deal with in 30 seconds rather than waste customer's time pointing fingers. After a long and frustrating attempt to get the tech to fix the problem I ended the call by CANCELLING my tether plan and going back to the "Regular" 2GB plan. Reason being hat if it's an IOS bug then it will be weeks I'm paying for service that I'm not getting, or if I was right the problem would be fixed on my next call to AT&T. For giggles I called and spent a very miserable 40 minutes dealing with Apple's IVR and nice but dim tech who was more concerned that I didn't have Apple care than anything else. That call ended with Apple saying it's not them and I should call AT&T support... However, instead of beating my head against the wall again I called SALES and asked them to add 4GB data and teher to my phone. 5 minutes later I had working tether. Problem solved. Basically to enable tether the phone has to pass a sanity check that it hasn't been tampered with, and then to activate the feature a fil is pushed down over the air to "Bless" the iPhone. I suspect as part of the IOS upgrade something went out of whack with either the file or the anti-tamper checks. Solution was to reprovision tethering, but AT&T support wouldn't hear of it. So, if you have lost tethering after an IOS 5 upgrade and AT&T support won't help then the solution is pretty painless. A) call customer service (not tech support) and CANCEL your tethering and extended dataplan. B) Turn your phone off for 5 minutes, then wait another 30 mins or so and call SALES. Ask them to add Tethering and extended data to your account. C) Wait another 30 minutes, or if you're impatient you can try turning your phone on and off again, and you'll be back in business. The down side to the is is you pay for two data plans for this month, but get a credit for the overlap next month (ie net you don't lose out). Hoping AT&T reads this and stops wasting everyone's time by enabling 1st level support to deprovision and then reprovision tether without messing with billing. We can live in hope, but until then I hope this may help someone being bounced around in a game of "Blame Tennis". Once again AT&T = All Twisted & Tangled!

  • Why apple remove personal hotspot in ios 8 on the iPad

    why apple remove personal hotspot in ios 8 on the iPad ?
    i Am using my iPad as a hotspot to connect to the internet using my MacBook, now i can't
    really I need help , or I need an app to solve this missing option

    Well i got my iPad in India, Apple sells unlocked versions here. So i am tied with any provider, i can put in any carrier's sim card and it will work.
    after upgrading to ios8 the "Personal Hotspot" was not visible. So as you can see in the Discussion above after putting “something” in the Username under APN settings of Personal Hotspot the “Set up Personal Hotspot” menu appeared.  However I get the error about the Carrier if I tap on it…. Which does not make sense as I am using a unlocked iPad Air

  • Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4?

    Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4? Will it ever be available? I cannont afford a new Iphone at this time so why am i being penalized for not having a new Iphone. Very upset

    Well of course they would, but that's not why iPhone 4 can't have iOS8.  It is simply the fact iPhone 4 can't support the features of iOS8.  Le'ts be realistic in recognizing iPhone 4 is now over 4 years old.  In cell phone land, that is ancient........

  • Personal hotspot working via BlueTooth but NOT working via wi-fi

    Hi,
    Would appreciate some help with this! Using an iPhone 4, just upgraded to iOS 4.3, and trying to get personal hotspot working.
    Basically, see subject ^ .. I can't get it working. Devices (I've tried iMac, iPad) can see the wireless network created by the iPhone, begins to connect (and appearing connected, from the iPhone) but isn't actually online. Though, I was able to pair my computer and phone and create a network connection via personal hotspot that way. But I want to use wifi, and let others use it...
    I'm on Bell Mobility in Canada. Any help greatly appreciated!
    Chris

  • My personal hotspot is showing discoverable but not working.

    I can see that my personal hotspot is available in settings but it will not connect to anything

    Does your plan with your cell provider allow this?  Just because the option is there does not mean it will work if your plan does not support it.

  • Personal Hotspot in iOS 4.3 works on iPhone 3GS

    Personal Hotspot actually works on iPhone 3GS, just not the wireless connect option. That is only available on the iPhone 4.

    "HotSpot" connection to a single device (aka tethering) via Bluetooth or USB has been possible with the iPhone 3GS for 1½ years...

  • How to fix Missing Personal Hotspot after ios 5.1.1. upgrade

    After upgrading the IOS 5.1.1. yesterday, I found that the Hotspot function cannot be used. Even the Hotspot Icon disappeared. Please help.

    I found this happend to my ipad 1 and nothing seemed to resolve the problem......But I found a way around this quite easy: 1. Turn on personal hotspot on your iphone or what ever phone you may have that has this feature. 2. turn on bluetooth on your phone and your ipad.  3. search devices on your ipad and find your phone through the bluetooth feature. 4. now connect the 2 devices and your phone will start to flash "personal hotspot connection"
    Your ipad infact does not even need a personal hotspot icon anymore to connect to your phone, its all done through bluetooth anyway. The only downside is that you will not be able to connect the 2 devices via wifi which you could do after 5.1.1 update , but at least you can still tether your 2 devices and enjoy internet on your ipad without needing a 3G sim version of ipad.  Hope this helped
