##HOT## Download Hotspot Iphone
Fritzi Schlicker
I've got a hotspot on my iPhone (iPhone 5, 8.1.3), it works great with my iPad2, but not with my Mac Book Pro (10.10.2). I expect the hotspot to appear in the list of available wi-fi's so I can select it, but it doesn't. Haven't been able to find any advice online that has been helpful. Sound like a trivial matter and that I've just got an incorrect setting somewhere, but can't figure out what it would be.
WiFi id. I used to get problems with connecting my iPhone 4 to my surround sound system via Bluetooth, as the name corrupted because of the '. Go to Settings / General / About / Name and take out the ', so mine became Marks iPhone. This solved the problem and changed the hotspot name too, as you want.
The personal hotspot only transmits the name temporarily, probably for security or power saving reasons. Just click the hotspot button off then on again and it transmits again for a short while. You only need it to transmit while you first tether a device. From then it should just join automatically when in range, in my experience.
I just wanted to make sure this works. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition (WiFi Only version), and I'm planning to upgrade to either the iPhone 6+ or the Galaxy Note 4. I'm still weighing out pros and cons to both, but I wanted to make sure that I can use the hotspot on my iPhone to use my Note tablet in public. I know how to use to hotspot on the iPhone; I just wanted to see if it will work.
Thanks but what is the relevance of the picture you attached? It does not solve the question. My carrier allow for hotspot alright through mobile data. My question relates to how to disconnect hotspot. Very obvious that I have hotspot and my carrier allows that.
My hotspot 'timeout' is determined by the amount of data I use. When I reach the data limit, the speed of the hotspot slows down dramatically. I don't know your carrier but mine is Verizon - and their site shows my data limit and usage. I have set up alarms with them so that when my data usage is close to the limit, I get a text warning telling me this.
There are plenty of posts about Hotspot not working. I have the opposite complaint. Somewhere along the way iOS changed to enable my iPad to turn on the Hotspot on my iPhone even though the iPhone has the Hotspot setting set to off. The main problem is that the iPhone hotspot turns on and stays on. That is crazy! I used up all my data allowance one time because the network order on my iMac had the iPhone at the top (now fixed but so annoying). I now leave Hotspot off but just found that the iPad can over-ride this.
The point is that tapping the iPhone Hotspot listed in the iPad wifi settings automatically turns that hotspot on, even though the iPhone has Hotspot turned off. Furthermore there is no ability to turn it off remotely.
Yes, my hotspot appears on my iPad in Settings-Wifi. It's listed with the nearby wifi hotspots. I think it's intended behaviour. If you want to use the hotspot, tap on it; if you don't then don't tap on it.
For me wireless debugging works flawlessly on my home Wi-Fi, but I always wanted to go in the park and have the freedom of developing applications without the cable, where my iPhone provides Internet via its hotspot.
Connect to iPhone's hotspot. Disconnect the USB cable. My iPhone is still visible under Devices because wireless debugging is enabled, but I cannot run and debug applications. Control + click the iPhone, and select: Connect via IP: 172.20.10.1 Done! Now it just works.
I recently bought an iPad 2 wifi (LOVE IT), opting not to pay extra for 3G since my iPhone 4 has a personal hotspot built in. And this was a good idea I think, but I'm having what I believe to be an odd issue. Maybe it's normal but knowing Apple like I do I doubt this is a feature :) Anyway I enabled the hotspot on my iPhone and looked at iPad network connections. There it was ready to connect! That worked great. The problem, though, is that it drops after not being used for a while and the only way to reconnect it is to go to the iPhone Settins > Personal Hotspot and turn that feature off and on again.
This is kind of annoying because I would have thought that once it's enbled, any time I wake my iPad up it would reconnect to the iPhone if it's in range of the iPad. Am I just wishful thinking or do I have to go into the iPhone and iPad settings every single time I want to use the hotspot feature. You'd think it would attempt to work similarly to how my MacBok Pro and iPhone get along. The difference being it's using USB I suppose. Every time the two connect, the hotspot kicks in and I can hop on the Internet from the laptop.
I think it's important we draw the distinction between the hotspot disabling if no client has connected and the iphone dropping an already existing connection. personally, even when i am on the personal hotspot screen on my iphone (and my screen is active), my ipad 2 almost instantly loses a connection once i start to use data on the ipad. tried resetting network settings.
I have an iphone 4 4.3.3 and use the hotspot to connect to a laptop and ipod touch 4g 4.2.1 and it is useless. I get kicked off anywhere from 1 minute to 60 minutes, without auto reconnection. Both devices disconnected at the same time also, so it's got to be a fault with the iphone.
I just upgraded to have the hotspot so I could use my MacBook Pro on the road where there isn't an ethernet or Wi-Fi connection and had the same problem. The connection seemed to disconnect after a minute or two. I could reconnect it by turning the Personal Hot Spot off and back on again, but of course this was a pain. My first thought after reading the posts above was the phone was trying to conserve battery power and Apple had probably devised an auto shut down function. When I called the help desk, we discussed this theory and the technitian suggested the above procedure. He said there was no documentation at Apple for a solution and asked me to first, confirm the timing of the drop, then change the Auto-Lock. Wha La!
Particle Community - I teach an Internet of Things course and, once again, could use a little help for my students. We are using Argons, mostly in the classroom. However, for their capstone projects, I have a couple students that need to be connected outdoors. We are able to connect to an android hotspot no issue (particle serial wifi and enter the android credentials). However, it does not seem to work for connecting to iphones. Is there a tip or trick of what might be needed to connect Argon wifi to an IOS hotspot? Thanks.
Thank you everyone. Using the above to make sure the iPhone was setup to accept connections and then clearing the wifi credentials followed by loading only the hotspot credentials seems to have worked. On behalf of my students, appreciate the help.
When I try to connect my ubuntu with iphone's personal hotspot it won't connect in certain times, But sometimes it will recognize the device and connect to WiFi but it will automatically disconnect in 10 min or 15 min or so. I have no trouble with Android Phones,I have checked with Samsung, Oppo and Vivo everything is working fine, but iPhone has some problems
Struggled with this issue yesterday and now I just got it working. Hasn't even been 15 minutes yet I don't think but writing this on a laptop running ubuntu that's connected to my iPhone's hotspot as I type.
since you may not be able to config your DNS records file on iphone, you can set an external DNS on your Wifi (the hotspot that you're connected to) that refers to your Linux system that is running the web server.
so, when you type "localhost" on your phone, your iphone requests the Linux machine the IP address of "localhost" domain, and the Linux machine responds the IP address, so your problem will be solved. :)
On laptop #2, the leading elements of the "IPv4 DNS servers" do not match those of the IPv4 address, which doesn't make sense to me. I rebooted the laptop and reconnected to the hotspot, but this disparity remains.
I would suspect that would fix it. This wouldn't affect the laptop connecting to the wifi at home and will still work if left manually configured this way. I think this is just a limitation in the iPhone's hotspot but unfortunately, I have no experience in it.
There is no problem with the hotspot, it is my personal iPhone. I have a working connection and in addition the FortiClient VPN will give another message in case no connection can be made to the gateway at all. At 98%, that step has already been passed.
Hi
I'm facing exact same issue and have the same setup Forticlient free version, iPhone XR hotspot on Bell network in Ontrio Canada but I'm using Mac and I'm not sure how to disable the IPV6 in the adaptor settings.
Will try to find how to change the adaptor settings on mac and will share if this works for me.
I checked the fortiClient logs and I find an error everytime the connection reaches up to last stage and doesn't complete:
[sslvpn:EROR] unknown:0 failed to set ipv6 address
I suspect the issue is in the FortiGate configuration, this is a configuration on the VPN server side. But the IT team of the organization I'm working are just saying its a hotspot issue.
Here is a KB article from FortiGate to do this configuration on the server side to support IPV6. IT administrators need to do this.
