  • Personal hotspot option not showing in IOS 8.1.2

    I was using personal Hotspot on cellular data "Mobilink" on my 4s , i recently updated to IOS 8.12 and since then this option is gone . Please help

    Hi Anas
    i am having the same issue on my iphone 6 with personal hotspot option missing with mobilink carrier in Lahore.
    This came after i installed a profile of mobilink ( network settings )
    which doesnt go away even if i try to reset the network settings.
    i cant go and delete the profiles manually.
    i have contacted mobilink network support and they have no idea what i am talking about ( even discussed it with their resolution center ) but they just gave me apples where i wanted oranges
    they said they have not disabled it neither they are charging for this option
    once i put the sim in android phone.( i can make a personal hotspot option)..
    Question is why not iphone.
    Perhaps mobilink doesnt support iphone officially thats why.
    This came after ( Mobilink offer of 3 dollars = 15 Gb ) of 3g traffic.
    when i put in the sim of zong network ( 3g and 4g ) hotspot works fine on iphone
    Apple guys ( how can i delete network profile )?
    such as a software using windows or on mac .
    I cant do it through iphone's network cellular settings the carrier settings just wont go away.
    neither
    Apple configurator seem to detect configuration profiles on ios 8 .( and officially i believe the configurator has been taken offline.)
    i don't want to factory reset my phone as it has alot of data and other things so i didnt try this option

    Depending on the country where you live, some features like FaceTime might not be available for your phone.
    Others, like Hotspot, will have to be included into your data plan to be working. Contact your carrier about that.

  • HT201926 Personal Hotspot is not showing

    I have an ipad mini and the personal hotspot is not showing

    Hello Maitham-Qatar,
    If you are not seeing Personal Hotspot then take a look at the article below and start at step 7. Start with resetting the network settings on your iPad and if that does not work then you will need to restore it. Let me know if this works for you.

  • Personal hotspot is not working despite several attempts

    personal hotspot is not working despite several attempts

    From the iPhone User Manual:
    Personal Hotspot
    You can use Personal Hotspot (iPhone 4 or later) to share an Internet connection with a computer or other device—such as an iPod touch, iPad, or other iPhone—connected to your iPhone via Wi-Fi. You can also use Personal Hotspot to share an Internet connection with a computer connected to iPhone via Bluetooth or USB. Personal Hotspot works only if iPhone is connected to the Internet over the cellular data network.
    Note: This feature may not be available in all areas. Additional fees may apply. Contact your carrier for more information.
    Share an Internet connection: Go to Settings > General > Cellular and tap Set Up Personal Hotspot—if it appears—to set up the service with your carrier.
    After you turn on Personal Hotspot, other devices can connect in the following ways:
    W-Fi: On the device, choose your iPhone from the list of available Wi-Fi networks.
    USB: Connect your iPhone to your computer using the cable that came with it. In your computer’s Network preferences, choose iPhone and configure the network settings.
    Bluetooth: On iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth. To pair and connect iPhone with your device, refer to the documentation that came with your computer.

  • Personal hotspot is not visible

    personal hotspot is not visible

    ok guys same thing happened to me on iphone 5 and I found a solution. my situation was similar as many of you:
    my operator is vodafone and when my sim was activated vodafone sent me a profile for operator settings so I installed it. but when I tried to enable personal hotspot, the menu simply disappeared from settings menu. there was only settings -> general -> cellular  -> personal hotspot but it wasn't like "on" or "off", it was trying to do sth for a while but nothing happened. when i clicked on it it gave the message "to enable personal hotspot on this account, contact /operator_name/ (vodafone)". I contacted them for nothing, just to lose money for contacting. they said it was apple's problem but i knew it wasn't because it was working with my former operator. I tried everything suggested on forums, none worked. so I simply deleted this profile, and personal hotspot menu instantly came back to the settings menu. now it works just fine and you don't need a profile to make calls, send sms and mms or use cellular data (3g). I actually don't know what a profile is good for but I now know it disables personal hotspot.
    I hope this helps you.

  • My personal hotspot is not functioning

    my personal hotspot is not functoning

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
    You can also try: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

    Hi, I have iphone 4s and since yesterday my personal hotspot will not work. It's always worked fine in the past and I have a plan with three uk which includes tethering. I've tried everything I can think of including resetting network settings, resetting the phone as a new phone but nothing works. When connected to the pc it shows on the iphone screen '1 connection' but the pc says 'no internet connection' I've spoken to three who say it must be a phone fault. Any help appreciated. :-)

    If you have restored as new that pretty well covers software issues
    Looks like a trip to an Apple Store and a likely Out of Warranty exchange unit  £159 over the counter
    May e consider an upgrade with the money ?

  • HT204023 Personal hotspot does not appear

    my personal hotspot does not appear ever since I updated my iPhone. How do I fix this??

    My carrier AT&T DOES support this feature, and I have been a loyal user up until the 4.3.3 update, when it's totally not there anymore.  What's going on?  I'm seeing many who have this issue!

  • TS2756 iOS personal hotspot does not let any device connect after a connection from a 5 GHz band

    I used my iPhone 5 with latest iOS version. When I connect my iphone to a 5GHz band at home and then ON the Personal Hotspot (PH), my ipad mini retina can't connect to the wifi of the iphone, it said "Unable to connect". I tried it with my laptop and got the same result. But if I disconnect it from the 5GHz and reconnect to a 2.4GHz band (at home too), then turn on PH, it will let other device connect normally.
    I know that I can solve the problem by connect to a 2.4GHz and then turn on PH. But the problem is when I go out, every wifi around me is password protected, and I need to share PH to my laptop. it just won't connect. Do a Network reset solve the problem too, but when I come back home and connect to my 5GHz band, the problem still raise, PH will not let any device connect to it until I connect my iphone to a 2.4GHz and then turn on PH again.

    Hi, thanks for your answers. 
    I have tried bluetooth tethering and it does work, but often i find has the same issue after a few minutes or if i let my device sleep, i have to reinitiate the hotspot. Whats worse is that i can go into the hotspot settings sometimes and it says "NOW DISCOVERABLE!" but nothing can see it, not my iPad, not my laptop, nor any other wifi enabled device until i toggle Hotspot off and on again.
    Also, distance is an issue. Occasionally I like leaving my iPhone to charge on my desk to charge as tethering beats the battery up and if i go to the room next door, the bluetooth drops. If i don't come back within range in a few seconds, the hotspot becomes undiscoverable and I have to go through the process again. Overall this has not been a feasible solution for my issues.
    As for resetting the network settings, I had to do this initially when I upgraded to iOS 5 as the Personal hotspot setting disappeared entirely. I had to do a full network reset, and reboot my handset once more for Personal hotspot to even return as a usable option but it didn't help the flakiness.  This isn't an iOS 5 new issue though, as i said, it's been happening since 4.3...
    All these super annoying first world pains eh?  Again, thanks for your feedback but it doesn't help my particular issues.
