Issue of Personal Hotspot

I've noticed recently that Personal Hotspot has appeared in the first group of settings on my iPhone 6. In fact, it has been lit even if I turn it on. Can I use it now anytime? My carrier, Sprint, told me I had to pay a little more per month to use this feature. I could use it once in a while, but not worth a supplement.

Yes, I noticed that it tends to turn more often. Guess that's due to continuity and instant Hotspot functionality, intended to gather all your iGadgets and touchy-feely Apple products: continuity of use to connect your iPhone, iPod touch and Mac - Apple Support

But yes, it must be enabled by the carrier and can gnaw your cap of data without delay. At least with mine, it of free if you get your iPhone on their part, do not know how it rates if you bring your own.

  • iPhone 6 s Personal Hotspot does not always

    My iPhone (iOS 9.2.1) Personal Hotspot 6s is completely useless and almost all the work.

    At the time of the twinning with my 15 "MacBook Pro (mid-2015, OS X 10.11.3) I can usually get a connection via USB and Bluetooth PAN, but when you use the WiFi 'Personal Hotspot' or instant Hotspot, it take ages to assign an IP address, or even not at all and then constantly abandons the connection or does not work.

    So far, none of the iOS updates have fixed the issue.

    I tried it with an another MacBook without success. A friend (on another cellular network) is also having the same problems with his iPhone 6s.

    I tried to reset settings on the iPhone, as well as setting up as a new device. I also signed in and out of the iCloud on both devices. Nothing seems to solve the problem.

    My old iPhone 5s worked beautifully with the same MacBook via personal and instant Hotspot.

    Someone has ideas of how to do to solve this problem?

    Hello

    In my case, it seems that it is interference between WiFi and Bluetooth. If I turn off bluetooth on the MacBook (after that it was used to launch the wifi on the iPhone 6 s hotspot) the wifi connection is ok.

    I show it on the YouTube video link below. The phenomenon is 100% reproducible with any iPhone 6s and MacBook Pro, I tested; also on other new units on the Apple Store / / Genius Bar made with the help of Apple employees to make sure that's not me, it's something wrong. And 'yes' all standard as 'factory reset' / / reset SMC / / memory NVRAM reset has been done on my equipment.

    The problem also exists if you share your hotspot with a MacBook that uses a different iCloud user, so the problem seems to be with the iCloud "peering" between the 6s iPhone and MacBook.  No problem sharing the hotspot with my iPad and Windows PC...

    The problem has been reported to Apple with support case number 1047696883 on February 12, 2016 and they should come back with your comments in 4 days (he spent 8 days now).

    Please check if you can do the same thing I did in the video... (You get the "Wifi Info window" while pressing the Option key, click the Wi - Fi-> "open Wireless Diagnostics menu...) ('-> Meny: window-> info)

  • Meeting place 11 not be able to use iPhone Personal Hotspot

    We have several 11 7130 place devices that we evaluate before deciding if we want to buy for all remote users.  None of them were able to use an iPhone 5 Personal hotspot as a connection to the internet.  The hotspot indicates a connection available.  The Tablet connects. The hotspot indicates briefly as a fully connected. But trying to go to the Internet in Internet Explorer, you get the page not found.  Weather app of TheTablet says offline.  Anything that requires access to the internet will not work.  When you go to settings and look for the WifI, hotspot persnoal connection status says 'limited '.  The iPhone shows that Personal Hotspot has 1 connection.

    We tried several iPhones on several tablets and they do not work.  Is this a known issue?  I can't imagine being the only one with a problem like that, is not a defect in a single machine.  and a question like this would be a big obstacle to the acceptance of this tablet as a viable mobile device.

    Connection via Bluetooth to iPhone has the same problem as well, shows they are connected, but no internet access is available.

    It seems to be caused by a low-power wireless adapter.  The default settings on the place of the 11 sessions must be changed in Power Options.

    • Go to control panel > Power Options.
    • In the Power Options screen, click on the plan for the Dell Power Plan settings.
    • On the screen change Plan settings click on change advanced power settings.
    • In the advanced power settings screen, click on the + sign next to the wireless adapter settings.  Then the sign for the power saving Mode.  The battery is probably average energy saving.
    • Change for maximum Performance.  If the parameter Plugged In is not at maximum Performance, you must change this one as well.

    According to the power Plan that you are running, you may need to change the settings for the Power Saver Power Plan as well.  Same steps apply as noted above.

  • PPTP VPN does not work on Iphone Personal Hotspot

    Hello

    I've just updated to iOS 10 yesterday and now all my devices I use to connect to the personal hotspot on my iphone are not able to establish PPTP VPN connections. I was aware of the PPTP client are disabled in the iOS, but has actually blocked PPTP are not used by devices that connect to the Personal Hotspot?

    Please help ASAP, I know there are many more end-users like me having the same problem.

    Hello

    Apple does not recommend using the PPTP protocol for secure and private communication.

    iOS 10 and macOS Sierra intentionally delete a VPN profile PPTP connections when a user upgrades from their device.

    Apple recommends using another VPN protocol which is safer:

  • Why the my position can be determined using Personal Hotspot?

    I use Personal Hotspot to watch the NFL Sunday Ticket on my laptop. He thinks that my position is in the same place my call sign is located. Therefore, I am unable to watch the same games if I'm physically across the country.

    Personal Hotspot is a function provided by your operator to share your cellular data. Location services, what looks like an app where you are right now.

    On your laptop, NFL Sunday has no idea where you are now, only your phone number. If you have run an NFL app today on your phone, and he asked location services where you are right now, maybe it's different.

  • Not ios10 blocking VPN PPTP connections through personal hotspot?

    I use an iPhone 6 + and was upgraded to ios10, two days ago.

    While I don't have a configuration of the VPN connection on the phone, I connect my computer laptop personal hotspot of the iPhone to use internet and sometimes connect to a VPN.

    Before my upgrade to ios10, my laptop could still connect to the VPN while connected to the hotspot from my iPhone.

    After that I updated to ios10, my laptop does not connect to the VPN I connect to.

    I see reports that Apple has abandoned the use of the connection for PPTP VPN connections on ios10.

    But most of the people having problems seem to be people who connect to their phones directly to the VPN in the iPhone settings.

    In my case, my phone is just acting under the guidance of the internet on my laptop but it seems that it does not obstruct my laptop to connect to a pptp even connection if that should have no impact on the phone itself.

    I went down to ios9 and my laptop can connect again to the VPN.

    But now my Apple Watch does not work with my phone because I improved the watch to os3.

    Any ideas if there is a work around for the connection for pptp connections using the hotspon on ios10?

  • iPad 3 will not connect to iPhone 6 personal hotspot

    iPad3 (IOS 9.3.5) does not connect to my Wi - Fi company. My iPhone 6 (same IOS) connects to it (?)

    The iPad has also a very difficult time, connecting to the Hotspot staff Bluetooth on the iPhone.

    I tried to close down, as well, by resetting the network settings, turning Personal Hotspot and Wi - Fi and turn it back on. I can't find anything about it on the support site.

  • How to disable/restrict personal hotspot without turning off the phone's data?

    Web restrictions work well for iphones for my kids.  We use the circle of disney at home, with the circle of disney GO! product to provide a filtering not at home.  (we also use restrictions to disable Safari and don't allow apps, we know to be installed, otherwise, the app store is disabled.)  We are quite draconian parents.  But it's not important right now)

    Turning on personal hotspot on a phone with the data actually bypasses * everything *.  If kid 2 has a phone with no data, but a browser.  Child 1 to an iphone that has locked the web browser of the restrictions on, and is allowed to have data that it can play Pokémon Go, read some wiki apps, and use the iMessage.

    Child 1 turn on personal hotspot, kid2 connects sound phone (or laptop or other) through it and volia! Unfettered internet access.

    IF, however, there is a way to disable the personal hotspot, the question is carefully disappears.  Yes, you can still play Pokémon Go and iMessage is always turned on, but you can't be sneaky.  (please, no comments about how I should trust my children.  I do, but I was once a male 14yo.  full stop.)

    I could disable data completely, but I want to leave some stuff.

    Web restrictions and the browser crashes are a very good start.  And I would have thought that cell parameters (with the personal hotspot OFF) lock would prevent changes.  Nope.  Allows still flipping the switch independently.

    Am I missing something stupid obvious?  (certainly wouldn't be the first time.)

    Cheers!

    Your cell carrier allows personal hotspot for each phone number. Ask them to turn it off for the iPhone you want to not use it.

  • Is the iPad limit data usage via personal hotspot from my iPhone?

    I have unlimited use of data in the Netherlands, but in France the use of the data is limited. I don't want my iPad to consume all the data because of unwanted downloads.

    No, the iPad doesn't "know" that you have a limit on your data. It does not change the behavior of use based on the type of connection (other that it will not download files more 100 mg on cell phone).

  • I'm unable to access iCloud parameters, that the icon is there, but when I click it, it does nothing. Also recently I noticed that my personal hotspot option is no longer available. Nobody knows what can happen?

    I can't access iCloud parameters. The icon is there, but when I click on it nothing happens. I went into general settings to ensure that no restrictions were on. Also recently noticed that the personal hotspot service is no longer available on my phone. How something like that just disappears?

    Why the Personal Hotspot from my mobile phone appears in my list of list wifi networks if it is disabled on my phone?

    On my iMac, there is an icon for a list of available to join Wifi networks.

    One of these Wifi networks is my iPhone Personal Hotspot.

    However when I look at my setup on my iPhone Personal Hotspot is off.

    I tried to join the Hotspot to my iMac and put.

    This is part of a feature called Hotspot instantly. It allows you to connect to your personal hotspot without your password or activate the hotspot on your phone. Don't worry, this does not allow other people to access your hotspot, only devices using the same identifier Apple will see your hotspot. This feature is not using any extra battery life when you're not connected to it. You can learn more about instant Hotspot here: OS X Yosemite: connect to the Internet using instant Hotspot
