Personal Hotspot issues on iPhone 6 plus

I have the Sprint "unlimited everything family plan". I do not have the option for Personal Hotspot for my service. My iPhone 6 plus has a link to set up a "Personal Hotspot" on my phone "only" when I'm away from Wi-FI or LTE for a short while. 1: I don't want that service. 2: When it appears, it renders my iPhone useless and virtually inoperable, especially won't make or receive calls. 3: I have to keep resetting my phone to make it go away. Sprint Store ***** tried to tell me he fixed it, when in actuality, he just reset my phone settings for the network too and stated, "there, no more problem". I did a complete restore of the iPhone hoping the problem would go away, unfortunately the "Personal Hotspot" link popped up again. I might also state, that it doesn't appear on my phone under "Settings" "Cellular". It just pops up out of the blue when I'm away for Wi-Fi or LTE? I can't just access the link either, as I don't have that service, but when it does pop up to set up a Personal Hotspot, it just keeps searching and searching for a Hotspot that doesn't exist. Then I have to reset again. I'll be taking it to the Sprint store tomorrow for a replacement or go back to an Android phone again.

Okay, so I have the screen shots of it happening now. When this happens and I click that popup, "Call", "Go to Website", "Cancel" nothing happens. I have to completely reset my network settings and I'm also unable to make phone calls. Messaging does work in this status. A

why missing personal hotspot in my iphone 4s after upgrade ios 7 ?

I'm having the same issue (iOS 7.0.3 on 5s).
Had Sprint add Wi-Fi Hot Spot to my account today, went to set it up, and there's nothing in Settings for "Personal Hot Spot." Apparently it should appear underneath "Cellular" but it's just not there.
Resetting network settings didn't help. And Sprint doesn't know why it's not there either.

Ipad 2 loosing personal hotspot link to iphone 4

The issue is;
I have a iphone 4 from verizon. I have a ipad 2 wifi, no 3g. I bring up the personal hotspot on the iphone and connect the ipad via wifi. The link connection appears and then starts to blink randomly and disconnects in a matter of a few seconds. There are time I have a connection for about 30 seconds and then it is gone al together. I have tried all of the regular steps, forgetting the network, reset network settings, etc. short of restoring the devices, which I find hard to believe is a solution to the issue. Both devices have the most up to date software, both devices are able to connect to other wifi sources. The hotspot can be seen by other devices and can support attachments to other devices, laptops etc. Since both devices can connect to other wifi sources I have a hard time believing its a wifi issue. I'm starting to think this is a proximity issue, or signal interference.

I think you are running into the following issue.
From: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
Note: If you leave the Personal Hotspot screen or put iPhone to sleep, iPhone only broadcasts the Wi-Fi network for an additional 90 seconds. If no devices join the Wi-Fi network during that time, iPhone 4 stops broadcasting your Wi-Fi network. You can start broadcasting your Wi-Fi network again by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot.
So, if I understand correctly, if you you leave your iphone on the the Settings --> Personal Hotspot screen, than it shouldn't disconnect.

Why do I drop my personal hotspot from my iphone to ipad whenever my ipad goes to sleep?

OK, so I have the new ipad wifi only. Whenever there isn't a wifi signal around, I turn on my Personal hotspot from my iphone and sync internet via Bluetooth. First, the process to recognize pairing always seems to be sporadic. It takes a long time for my ipad to see my iphone's attempt to establish pairing. Most of the time I have to turn both Bluetooth's settings off and then on to establish pairing. Then, once I do gain a connection, if my ipad goes into Auto-Lock after 2 minutes of inactivity, my pairing is lost and I have to start the proess all over again. It's very annoying. Any suggestions would be great appreciated.

What happened to my Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 4 6.01 OS? It has disappeared, how do I get it back?

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.
No joy, then talk to your carrier about tethering.

Depends on whether your carrier supports Personal Hotspot & how/if they charge for this feature. Some carriers include Personal Hotspot as part of your data plan, some require it be provisioned on your account. Contact your carrier & see what their requirements are. The fact that you have the Personal Hotspot setting indicates your carrier supports this feature.

IOS Personal Hotspot issues via Wifi

Is there any way that I can get my Wifi-only iPad to ONLY link to my iPhone's personal hotspot, without my iPhone jumping to various unsecured (and often slow and unreliable) Wifi networks?
This has seriously got to be the single-most frustrating user experience for me with iOS. It's clunky, messy and terribly inconvenient.
It would be nice if I could turn off "external" Wifi and just use a dedicated "internal" Wifi connection that connects to my iPhone's 3G radio, but the iPhone's.
I live in Korea where where unsecured Wif networks are so ubiquitious, but 90% of the time, you can't use them. It becomes especially problematic if you're riding on a bus or subway and having your iPhone jump between various unsecured Wifi networks, and which renders your iPad totally useless, if you have no connection.
I've tried the bluetooth only connection, but man, iOS really makes you jump through hoops and screens just to switch between all these settings. Scott Forstall and his iOS team failed epically here. There is just no elegan

I have an iPhone 4s with the Hotspot turned on. However, I could never see the wifi connection when using my laptop or iMac. The key to get this to work is to go to the Settings screen, and tap on Personal Hotspot and tap the ON button. Once you do this, Do not leave the Personal Hotspot screen! Connect to your Hotspot within 90 seconds or before the iPhone goes to sleep.

Do you pay for a tethering plan? This is a feature that has to be activated by your carrier and is generally NOT free.
