  • Mobile Internet and Personal Hotspot problems

    I have an iPhone 3GS with the latest updates.
    Yesterday mobile internet has suddenly stopped working, giving me the 'iPhone is not connected to the internet' error anytime I tried to use Safari (nothing else involving a connection is working, really)
    I didn't make any change that could have triggered this, I have an unlimited mobile internet plan and anyway I have enough money too.
    I can see the 3G and Edge symbols and have a good service, APN is correct. I use only mobile internet, therefore the other connection options are always turned off.
    I tried restarts, resets, both manual, with iTunes, only network settings, total formatting, restoring from backup, but I still have the problem.
    Rarely it starts working, but only for some seconds, time to load a page and it stops working again.
    Going through the network settings I then noticed 'Personal Hotspot' has the loading wheel that never stops spinning, like it was searching for something, I know I usually had an option to turn it on and off, anyway before that happened it was off.
    I don't want to use a Personal Hotspot and want to keep it off but there's on option at all, I tried all the resets again, or staying on that setting page for a while, but it goes on spinning.
    I don't know if the two things are connected, I was wondering if mobile internet and hotspot are someway conflicting with one another, if I can't connect because it keeps searching for the hotspot, or if there's any way to stop that 'loading status'?
    Tried searching on other threads/Google already but I didn't find anything that would solve it

    I tried with the Sim too and din't work either
    I'm with Vodafone, I've seen other people having the same problem but it was due a wrong APN or else they got it fixed with a simple restart
    Tried calling their CS too but I just got told to check my APN/config (it's everything fine) or try resetting network settings as I already did a few times

  • How to fix iTunes 10.6 iPhone's USB Personal Hotspot problem

    I'd updated iTunes to  10.6 and iOS to 5.1 this morning and found out that my iPhone 4S's Personal Hotspot using USB was never connected. Even before updating iOS to 5.1, installing iTunes 10.6 causes the usb hotspot on iOS 5.0.1. iPhone 4S iOS 5.1 usb hotspot is still working on my PC with iTunes 10.5.3.
    Is this happened to anyone else?

    Same problem for me. iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1 with iTunes 10.6, and I'm no longer able to use Personal Hotspot (tethering) via USB, which worked fine last week with the previous versions (iOS 5.0.1 and iTunes 10.5.3). Bluetooth tethering is fine with iOS 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.
    Some additional data points which I haven't seen mentioned yet:
    1. I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8, so the problem is not unique to iTunes 10.6 running on Lion.
    2. I tried restarting my Mac, in case the driver installed by the iTunes update hadn't loaded correctly. It didn't help.
    3. I tried my iPhone with another Mac (also Mac OS X 10.6.8) which was still running iTunes 10.5.3 and had never used an iPhone for tethering. On connection via USB, the Mac reported that it had found a new network interface. I went into System Preferences and did an "Apply" to confirm the change to network preferences, and ensured there were no other active network connections. iPhone was listed as a network interface, with a red status indicator, and the USB tethering connection didn't work.
    Combined with evidence earlier in this thread, this strongly suggests the problem is with iOS 5.1 running on any iPhone model, and is independent of the iTunes and Mac OS X version. maclucassen's suggestion of testing tethering using an iPhone running iOS 5.0.1 with a Mac running iTunes 10.6 would be useful data for further confirmation that it is a bug in iOS 5.1.

  • Can I share my personal hotspot with a "wifi only iPad mini" or does ithe ipad have to be wifi   cellular device? I'm using an iPhone 5 with ios7.2

    I am about to buy an ipad mini for my daughter, with wifi only capability & wondered if I was able to share my internet connection via my personal hotspot on this device. I know that you can on an ipad with wifi + cellular device, but wondered how it worked for the wifi only model. I have an iphone 5 ios7.2 & would be using my personal hotspot from this to share with the ipad mini in car journeys etc. The wifi obviously is great when at home. Thanks for any advice or comments.

    Thank you so much, a direct answer on something Ive been trying to get an answer for all morning. ipad mini with wifi only, is capable of sharing a personal hotspot on my iphone 5, but you think that in some cases it can be expensive. My provider insists that my personal hotspot sharing is free. I am with 3. Problem solved.

  • Personal hotspot not working after upgrading to ios7

    Personal hotspot not working after upgrading to ios7

    I was having this problem (iphone 5 wouldn't work as hotspot for my PC laptop) and had tried everything suggested on these message boards, so I finally went to the Apple Genius Bar and they fixed it for me.  Here's what they did:
    1) Turned the Hotspot off on my iphone
    2) Went to the Control Panel on my laptop to "Network and Internet" > "Network and Sharing Center" > "Manage Wireless Networks" (on the left navigation panel) and deleted my iphone from the list of WiFi connections I've attempted.
    3) Flipped the manual WiFi switch on my laptop to Off and then back On again (to reset it)
    4) Turned the Hotspot on my iphone back on
    After that, when I tried to connect, it worked.  Hope this works for someone else.

    I have updated my ipad4 to ios7 and then I couldn't find my personal hotspot option.... Please please please help me to get back .... I really need help

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Personal Hotspot should be at Settings > Cellular Data > Personal Hotspot

    same case for my iphone 4 GSM (Hong Kong), my personal hotspot works at ios 7.0.4 but fails at 7.1 as APN cannot be set as described above. Hope Apple Support can help. My Carrier is PCCW-HKT (Hong Kong), which is not a registered carrier

  • I am on verizon and ever since ios7,  cannot use the personal hotspot

    On an iPhone 5, before iOS 7, I had no problem connecting to my iphones personal hotspot via WiFi.
    Then t upgraded to iOS 7, and it would connect to the hotspot, but windows 7 would say limited or no connectivity. Note no changes were made to the windows 7 machine. My nexus 7 and kindle fire also had trouble connecting. They'd show being connected to the iPhone, but you'd either get no internet or very slow internet.
    I then upgraded to a 5s. Same exact problem exists.
    I've tried resetting the network settings on the iPhone without any luck. I've tried disabling and enabling the wireless adapter on the window's machine, and that did not work either.
    I have verified that the iPhone itself does have LTE connectivity, and speed test showed a very fast connection, in fact.
    I've seen posts about updating your APN settings, however I believe Verizon blocks you from being able to change the apn-theres no way to get to it from settings on the iPhone.
    Any ideas? I'm sure there are a ton of Verizon ios7 users, and since this problem occurred on two different phones even, I'd have to think this is a widespread problem.

    I have reset my phone a large number of times. It doesn't work. I am now reseting and setting it up as a new phone every 2 days. It works for a while and then teh cycle repeats.

  • Problem using personal hotspot on my ipad

    I'm having a problem using my ipad (wifi+3g software 6.1.3) as a hotspot because the personal hotspot tab is not available ..
    NB: i contacted my network provider and confirmed it is active and i also having a personal hotspot on my iphone (same network provider)
    What should i do ??

    Quoting our friend Demo on this forum earlier this month (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4923337):
    You need an iPad 3 or newer in order to use the personal hotspot feature. Read more here.

    It will not work with an iPad 2.

  • Intermittent problem with Personal Hotspot

    Hello All
    I think either my iPad 2 or my iPhone 4 is mental.  Can anyone convince me otherwise?
    For some months now I have been experiencing an intermittent problem with tethering my iPad 2 to my iPhone 4 Personal Hotspot. 
    Sometimes it works without a hitch (although I have to turn the Personal Hotspot on the phone off and on again to get iPad to 'see' it) and at others, like now, it shows me the message 'Unable to join the network 'iPhone'.  It throws the message up so quickly that even though it 'sees' the phone in the list of networks, it behaves as though it can't actually be bothered to even try to connect.
    I have tried reboots and restarts, 'forgetting' the network, changing passwords, sacrificing a chicken... all the usual stuff.  But still when it gets in this kind of mood it stubbornly refuses to do anything.  I have even taken it to the Apple store where, not surprisingly it worked first time and the assistant looked at me as though I was an idiot.  It then proceeded not to work for a couple of days again as if punishing me.  There is no problem with the general Wi-Fi connection as I have another phone (an Android) that I run as a Hotspot too.  It has never once had a problem connecting to this or any other Wi-Fi connection..    
    Confusingly, and rather irritatingly, after a few days of this not-connecting lark it will have a few days of not having a problem connecting at all.  I won't have changed any settings on either iPad or iPhone and so I have no way of figuring out why this is happening.  This has been the same situation with all versions of iOS I have installed ever since buying the phone in April 2012, and the iPad in June 2012.
    Please, is there anyone out in the ether that can suggest a solution to this?  Or is one of my Apple products simply mad?  I have given both devices a strong talking-to, but this hasn't sorted the problem either.  Next, I think I might have to try sacrificing a goat.

    I have the same issues with my iPhone 5 (6.1.4).  I do not have an answer for you, and perhaps my "workaround" will lead someone with more knowledge about these things to offer us more information.
    When I turn on the Personal Hotspot and it does not show up as visible on my iPad or MacBook, or offers that ambiguous message about being unavle to join the network, I perform a few steps that almost always resolves it.  I have to go through these steps twice sometimes.  The order of operations seems to affect the outcome (at least it appears to me that it does)
    Turn off WiFi on the client device (iPad, MacBook, Windows laptop, KindleFire, etc)
    Turn off Personal Hotspot on iPhone
    Turn off Bluetooth on iPhone
    Turn off WiFi on iPhone
    Then turn on Personal Hotspot and allow it to automatically start WiFi and Bluetooth.
    Turn on the client WiFi services.
    Connection successful!
    As I said, I sometimes need to perform the steps ablve twice, but it eventually works.  It is incredibly frustrating to go through these hoops to make the device perform.  I do not know precisely when the problem began to occur, but I don't think it did not occur on my iPhone 4s with IOS5.
    Any help from the Apple guys would be appreciated.  I think it is a software issue, because the shutdown of services and restart seems to resolve the issue.  I guess I might take a trip to the Aple Store to have them look at this behavior.

    Hey there arunvdi,
    It sounds like you are unable to connect to the Wi-Fi created by your Personal Hotspot. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2756
    Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Wi-Fi troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using Personal Hotspot with other Wi-Fi devices, try the following:
    Turn Personal Hotspot off.
    Verify Wi-Fi is on in Settings > Wi-Fi.
    Turn Personal Hotspot back on.
    If another device is unable to join your Wi-Fi network, ensure that the user enters the Wi-Fi password correctly. If the device cannot see your Wi-Fi network, verify your device name.
    Note: Windows may not properly display a device name that uses non-ASCII characters.
    Verify how many devices are currently using your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your wireless carrier and, the maximum number of Wi-Fi connections may be limited to three at one time.
    If the other device still cannot connect, try turning Wi-Fi off and on again on the device. Verify that your device can see other Wi-Fi networks.
    Note: If you see an "Unable to Join" or timeout error when trying to connect a device using Wi-Fi, ensure that you remain on the Personal Hotspot screen until the first device connects. After a device has connected, you can leave the Personal Hotspot screen and use your phone normally. Your device will automatically stop broadcasting using Wi-Fi if you put your device to sleep or after 90 seconds elapse with no devices connected using Wi-Fi. You can start broadcasting your Wi-Fi network again by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot.
    If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • My personal hotspot is showing that it is connected to my other device but when I try to connect to Facebook or anything web related it won't connect to the server. What could be the problem?

    I currently had my personal hotspot turned back on. I have it connected to another device ( which is my daughters Htc hero.) I have done this before so she could get onto Facebook ect. So my problem is it is showing we are connected but her hero won't connect to anything that requires Internet. I've tried everything but all I get on her phone is error could not connect to server. Any help would be very grateful!

    My WiFi hotspot only works right after rebooting my iPhone 4S. Upon attempting to reconnect after that initial session, I can only tether using a USB cable... Not good enough Apple!
    I took my phone to an Apple Store on the weekend and had it completely reset. That has made the phone faster but it hasn't resolved the hotspot issue.
    It seems that the issuei is in the OS itself, so I'm holding out hope for a fix soon... I'm holding off on an upgrade to iPhone 5 until I'm completely satisfied that I won't experience these problems again...

  • MacBook Pro problem with iPhone personal hotspot connection

    I think there is a problem with my airport, I can't connect to any iPhone personal hotspots anymore - I used to be able to connect to them, and now it connects but with an exclamation mark saying there is no internet connection? Any help would be great!
