Wifi - Hotspot option Gone!

Hi,
I recently faced a problem in my BB Curve 9320, wherein there was no sound playin in the fone for anything. Including media player, incoming calls, alarms etc. I got a software update from one of the registered vendors. However, after that update the 'wifi-hotspot' option in my phone has disappeared.
Can anyone please tell me how to get back that. I tried software update again but I already have the latest OS.
Please help!!

Hello shailendrasadh,
Welcome to the forums.
When you installed the software update did you get the software from the original service provider for this device?

HT4972 my ipad3 doesn't have the wifi hotspot option in the list in settings

I have taken delivery of an iPad3 64G 4G.
In the list on the left in settings - there is no item for setting the iPad as a WiFi hotspot.
I went to a phone shop. They had a new iPad3 there with the same firmware settings etc. The option was in the list - I think the 3rd or 4th from the top.
Why hasn't my machine got this option? Supposed to be on ALL 3G and 4G machines as far as I know?
Thanks.

It's impossible for anyone here to be able to tell your carrier what they need to do to enable their own features. Call your carrier again and keep going up the ladder of support until you find someone who knows what "personal hotspot" or "tethering" means and who understand their own systems.
By the way, you replied to a thread that's been inactive for almost nine months now. That's usually not a good strategy for getting a quick reply. It's most often going to be more effective to start a new thread rather than replying to one that's quite old and inactive.

Where is the Personal WiFi Hotspot option in iPad Air 2?

Hello Bro,
I recently bought a iPad Air 2. I wanna use Personal WiFi Hotspot, but I am finding the operation. Will anybody help me in these issues,
Thanking you in advance.

Well you have Personal Hotspot using cellular but not using iPad Wi-Fi.
Also only if you have a Personal Hotspot supported carrier.
Check if your carrier is on the list:
iPhone: Wireless carrier support and features - Apple Support
If your carrier is not on the list then you do not have Personal Hotspot.

Personal Hotspot option gone altogether after doing a carrier update

I was using my personal Hotspot for a month or so on IOS 8.1. I enabled it in Cellular data and everything was fine until I did a carrier update a few days ago. After that the personal Hostspot option itself dissapeared, and it went from the cellular data network tab as well. Now the 'cellular data network' tab only shows APN and MMs, not Personal Hotspot. I can't find it anywhere, Help?

Hey Kazimraza,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, Personal Hotspot is missing from settings. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

If iOS ate your WiFi hotspot option...

Like it did with mine, it's buried deep in your menu.
Go to
Cellular > Celluar Data Network, then scroll down to the bottom. It should have a "personal hotspot" area to fill in your information.
I just plugged in "internet.(carrier name here)" and then went back, and it appeared in the menu. Turn it on, and it'll appear back in the main menu where it belongs.
Thanks for hiding my #1 use for my phone, Apple, and giving me a heart attack!

The only way it will work is connect your laptop to your iPhone 3G Data connection.
The iPhone won't serve as a routeur to the hotel WiFi connection. That's my main problem.
The tethering works only one way: the iPhone is the internet source, and then you connect the laptops/iPad to it.
Not the other way around. You can't connect the iPhone to your laptop and use the laptop WiFi to surf the web from the iPhone.

Hi... I've had my IPhone 4S since January 13, and it doesn't have the option to use it as a wifi hotspot? When all my friends iphones do. Is there a way to install in onto my phone? Or what do I need to do to get it??

Whether you can use your phone in this way is entirely the responsibility of your phone company/carrier. You need to contact them to see if you can add tethering to your phone plan. Be warned though that it could get rather expensive, so if you don't really need it, then do without, but in any instance, you need to contact your phone carrier.

This has been an issue since installing new IOS! How long will it take apple to come up with a fix. My carrier offered me an early upgarde at a massively inflated monthly cost (how kind of them!).

Apple should release an option for $1 per day on wifi hotspot mode

some people (like me) only need a wifi hotspot for a few days or maybe a week. instead of paying $20 why not pay for the amount of days you use it. It seems that lots more people would use it because it is more convient and more people would buy the iPhone. this would also be great for when the internet goes down for a day, and internet is in need.

Apple has no involvement with how much you pay for mobile hotspot or other features. Your carrier sets those rates and policies. Talk to them.

HT204409 Option of wifi hotspot connect has been disappear in my setting of iphone 4, can somebody help ?

Hi, My iphone 4 has deleted somehow the function of wifi hotspot in settings. Can somebody help to get it back. It happens a few days ago automatically.

Thanks for replying. I did what you said. Restored from iTunes. Then set up as new iPhone. No luck. Still can't connect to my time capsule network. Before I restored, I backed up her iPhone to computer, I'm going to restore from back up if possible because my wife had a bunch of stuff on her phone. I hope for my sake I can get it back. Also, it's really weird because her phone was working fine with my airport express network. I replaced the AE with the time capsule and now it doesn't work.

Hi ihtisham301,
Thank you for visiting Sony Community!
Try to connect any different device to your home network. If other device can't connect then you may contact your Internet Service Provided (ISP) for further assistance.
If other device can connect, then try to isolate the issue. You mentioned you cannot connect to the network but you were able to enter the credentials before connecting to the network. Try to ping any website, Start -> search cmd -> once in command prompt, enter ping googe.com and hit Enter. Check the Ping statistics. Try to ping your router as well. ping [router IP address] then hit Enter. Also boot the laptop in Safe Mode with Networking -> turn off the laptop, press the power button and immediately, tap the F8 key repeatedly. Once in Advanced Boot Options, select Safe Mode with Networking.
I'm not quite sure about the process that you did. I never tried that before. And another thing is, it seems that you are using a non-U.S. model of Vaio. We usually have Windows 7-64bit computer. We have limited information with non-U.S. model of laptops.
For further assistance regarding your concern, please contact the Sony offices/Sony representative offices nearest to your place of residence in Asia Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.
Hope my suggestions help.

How to set up wifi hotspot connectivity

I have an old laptop that was upgraded from XP to Vista Business. It runs OK but is very slow. I have Fios wireless at home and it connects fine, but the In-house Agent won't run properly (blank pages for the Internet & Phone sections...Chat tech was unhelpful). My question is: how can I set up the hotspot connectivity without having to use the worse-than-useless In-house agent?

the link I gave is for a windows machine
Droid has it's own app, and boingo is what Verizon uses - so you can safely download boingo and then when it asks for your login, you put your VZ log in info.
you DO have to create a seperate WIFI log in though, So you should go to www.verizon.net/
Hover over my verizon and then select VIEW all from the my services menu > then select internet on the left hand side menu > then select manage under the verizon wifi section.
Manage gives you two options
Find Wifi Hotspots
WiFI how to demos
Select Wifi how to demos and then click and follow the registration link
when you get there, it wants you to sign in, you sign in with your main account, and then you go through the Wi-fi registration steps to make a Verizon WIFI username
these are going to be seperate usernames, one used for your account and online access, you already have this one
and the next is one specifically for wifi hotspot access, you are creating this one (if you haven't already done so)

Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot for my macbook using my IPad?, Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot for my macbook using my IPad?

I am going to a lake cabin in Northern Minnesota for a week and need to get wifi for my Mac. Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot using my Ipad so that I have internet service for my laptop?

No, iPad can become a hot spot, but if you have an iPhone, it can tether if you have a data plan that incudes the tethering option. With AT&T for example, you can add tethering for $20 month or for $45/month, you receive tethering and 4GB of data per month. If you have the unlimited data plan from AT&T you'll unfortunately have to give it up if you want to tether. You can also go to almost any carrier and purchase a MiFi unit which may work for you. Whether iw will work in Northern Minnesota is something only your carrier could answer.

Free Verizon WiFi HotSpots Now On-Line

It looks like Verizon has turned on the ability to register for access to free Verizon WiFi HotSpots.
Verizon Wi-Fi for High Speed Internet Verizon Wi-Fi* is a free service that enables qualified Verizon High Speed Internet subscribers to access the internet at thousands of public places known as Wi-Fi hotspots. This wireless service is not intended to be used from your home, but to be used while on-the-go.
Here is the URL:
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Networking/SetUp/WiFi/124611.htm?LOBCode=C&PromoT...
It requires a 20MB Download or better FIOS Plan or 3MB or better DSL Plan
Verizon Wi-Fi is available with select High Speed Internet packages and in designated locations only. The service requires Windows Vista or Windows XP 32-bit with Service Pack 3. Verizon Wi-Fi is not available on Macintosh, Windows XP 64-bit, or Windows 7 operating systems.

Totally agree...I was excited that Verizon was finally allowing free Wifi access for premium high speed subscribers (something AT$T offered over a year ago) but this was short lived after finding out that my netbook running Linux (Ubuntu) was not on the list of operating systems (an extremley short list) I assume this will change and they want to get to all of their primary OS users out of the way first. Disappointing to say the least. There are alot of your subscribers that are looking for alternatives to the infamous "Windows" especially on their mobile devices. I hope they will provide these users with options as well.
