Tethering and personal hotspot

I have an IPhone 4 bought on Apple store.
On my IPhone there is neither tethering button
nor personal hotspot unger settings, general, network.
So I can't use my IPhone as modem for my laptop.
Could you gelo me please.?

That setting only appears if your carrier supports personal hotspot. The setting comes from the carrier file installed on your phone. So, does your carrier support personal hotspot?

Continuity calling and personal hotspot

I tried continuity calling and it works great for me.
But on the road, e.g. in a hotel room I use the personal hotspot feature of my iphone.
So the iphone an ipad are on the same wlan network.
But it seems that continuity calling isn't working right now in the condition.
Is there a "trick" or did somebody made similar experiences?
(googled and found nothing about continuity calling and personal hotspot).
Thanks,
Sebastian

HT3574 iPad 2 wifi+3G and Personal Hotspot?

Dear All,
Why the iPad 2 wifi+3G doesn't have Personal Hotspot? I cannot find anyway to share my Cellular Data as Personal Hotspot. Is the personal hotspot hardware or software related? I know other people do it by Jailbreaking the iPad. But, I don't want to do that. If they can use Personal Hotspot in Jailbreaking mode Apple should be able to activate it with a new software release or update. I've been waiting for that since the iOS 4.x release. Till now nothing has be done. Why Apple would continue to ignore all the customer requests about this matter?
I hope you'll consider taking the necessary action to give a Relief or Smile to your concerned customers!
Regards,

Before accessing the App store; Speedest.net (app) shows 0.57-1.2 down which is perfect. As long as I stay out of the appstore; i seem to be fine. The SECOND i try to download an app in the appstore; the connection slows to a crawl and apps end up taking more than 10 minutes to install or they lock up and don't install. Speedtests after a failed appstore downloading will then consistently drop to 0.17 down/1.2 up. This is baffling and has happened enough times I'm wondering if AppStore downloads are "throttled" when used on HotSpot Connections.
I'm wondering if a separate 3g iPad would perform better than a tethered one.

IMessage and Personal Hotspot not working

I'm having a weird issue with my iMessage only working over wifi. When I'm on 3G I'm not a able to send or receive iMessages. My personal hotspot settings is no where on my phone. I've tried looking under network settings and even resetting the network settings... still nothing. If I perform a fresh restore and setup as a new device it's all fine. However when I try to restore from a backup via iTunes or iCloud I get the same issues. This method is all fine and dandy but I want to be able to retain my text/mms messages on my device. I already have them backed up onto my Mac with phoneview, but I want them on my device. I've even tried restoring to a back from my iPhone 4 from when I got it running 4.0.1 still nothing. By the way this issue is both on my 4 and 4s. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

How to use wifi and personal hotspot at same time in ios 8.0.2 ??a

I Am connecting my iphone with my router using wifi .
i am using windows laptop but it's wifi adapter is not working thats why I want to connect my iPhone with it .
when I start my personal hotspot wifi is disable automaticaly .
any solution for this ?
<edited by host>

I'm not sure what you are asking here. As you were told earlier, Personal Hotspot allows you to share the cellular internet from the phone to other devices. You can share that via wi-fi, however you report that the wi-fi on the laptop is not functional. You can share the Personal Hotspot via USB to the laptop. You cannot get your internet connection from your wi-fi router and share it via the iPhone. As mentioned earlier, connect the laptop to the router via Ethernet. Not ideal, but then you do not have a functioning wi-fi on the laptop, so you have to take what you can get.

Unlimited Data Plan and Personal Hotspot possible?

Hello all, I have been a customer with AT&T for over 10 years now and was pretty disappointed with the conversation I just had with one of their customer service representatives. Since I first purchased an iPhone I have had the unlimited data plan for $30 that was required for purchase at the time. I recognize that since they've done away with unlimited data as an option, I have not gone over the 2GB $25 plan, but I still have opted to pay the extra for unlimited usage in case the day should come that I needed it. Today I called the customer service line to inquire about why I was not able to set up a personal hotspot (when I try, my phone tells me to contact AT&T). I was told that I would need to "upgrade" (don't get stuck on the terms) to a 2GB ($25) or 5GB ($50) monthly option in order to use this feature. Something about this seems off to me since I have been carrying forward a plan that AT&T required me to have in the first place, but now it disqualifies me from a feature of the phone - not due to capabilities, mind you. Does anyone know if there is the ability to combine these two features? Really frustrated with AT&T for making it (seem hopefully) an impossibility. Appreciated.

My siblings have Sprint and love it, they also offer unlimited everything for cheaper than ATT, plus an insurance plan for 7 bux a month that offers water damage coverage!! Once I can afford to pay the cancellation or my contract is finally up, ATT will not get another dime out of me, my ten year loyalty apparently is not enough, I have to fight to get some recognition for this loyalty, so its time to move on. I am with you on that. I am so insulted to have paid for two phones for 10 years and I cant share my unlimited data with my dam tablet (which they want me to pay 25-50 dollars just to give it internet access as another phone line so that will also need the 9.99 for the added line too I presume) Its sick and disapppointing. Is there anything ATT offers that doesnt require the customer to be inconvenienced and work twice as hard to get what they need (or THINK they already pay for - as misrepresentation is another special here)? I even had u-verse, and let it be known there was NEVER a month that the bill was the same, there were always charged that needed to be disputed and it was always getting more and more expensive and not a single Rep could explain it to me where it made sense. ATT get your stuff in line. With you not offering unlimited anymore and being one of the more expensive plans I think your loyal customers should be more of a priority, as the new ones will be gone as fast as they come when someone else offers a cheaper plan. We have stuck with you paying $80+ a month for a single line in some cases even when $50- unlimited everything plans are out there, and thats not enough for you to make a few exceptions? I would pay another 10/mo to tether my UNLIMITED plan, but like heck I am going to a limited data plan just to tether so you can try and make more money off me, I PAY YOU ENOUGH!

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

Ipad Mini and Personal Hotspot Missing

Dear all....
I know there have been many many discussions re this in the past but I can't seem to find a solution anywhere. I have also spoken to EE (my 4G Carrier) and Apple but with no luck....
I have recently got a new iPad Mini 64Gb Wireless/Cellular device and no matter what I do I can't get the 'Personal Hotspot' to appear on the main setting menu. I have tried the following:-
Restored the iPad - about 10 times!
Spoken to EE - they say it is an Apple issue
Spoken to Apple - they say it is a Carrier issue
Cleared all Network settings - again about 15 times
Messed around with LTE settings.... and most other setting too...
Had the Carrier delete my account (settings) and reset
Had the carrier change my tariff and reset my iPad to recieve them
If this helps I also have no "Network" under "Settings>General" like i use to on my iPad 1
All I do have is "Settings>Mobile Data" and "Settings>Carrier" but neither have any Personal Hotspot setting below them.....
Finally I have confirmed with my carrier that my account is enabled for teathering / hotspot use and "it should work"
PLEASE HELP!!

Just signed up to a data tariff with T-Mobile, pretty much EE!! Was told that I needed to plug the ipad mini into itunes for it to update carrier settings. So far nothing.
Grrrr. The option was there eariler today when I had another carrier's SIM in the device.
WOuld really like to get an answer to this too!!!

Yestarday I restore my iPad and personal hotspot dismiss?

I was restore my new iPad, and the cellular work but personal hotspot not work

Best way is:
1) Perform a final sync to update the backup file on the sync computer.
2) On the iPad, select Settings, General, Reset, Erase all content and settings.
This will make it fresh from the factory, like.
But if they want a demo of the iPad, don't do this step until after the demo, because the iPad will require activating.
Also, if it's 3G, ATT, don't forget the micro-sim.

IPhone 3S and personal hotspot

Can my iPhone 3S be used as a personal hotspot for my iPad 2 and my Dell laptop?

Hi,
Go to the Settings>General>Bluetooth and PAIR both devices to each other.... THAT'S IT! Simple...
I hope this helps you. Haven't tried pairing my laptop yet but no reason why this shouldn't work the same if your laptop has Bluetooth.

Tethering vs Personal Hotspot

They seem to be the same thing - sharing iPhone's 3G internet connection via Bluetooth, USB, and now WiFi as well?
Thanks

I think the price for tethering and hot spotting are the same.
