IPhone :: 3GS Has No WiFi Option - Personal Hotspot Also Grayed Out
Mar 24, 2012
Instead of the usual Wifi menu in the settings menu, it is replaced by Personal Hotspot which is also greyed out. It is on 5.0.1. It can connect to 3G perfectly fine however.
I have an Iphone 4S on ios 5.1.1, and there is no option for 'personal hotspot' anywhere in settings! How do I fix this? I have restored my iphone, but that didnt help. When I go to Settings > General > Network I get these options: Enable 3G, Cellular Data, Cellular Data Network, Data Roaming, VPN, Wi-Fi. My friends have iphones and have a 'Personal Hotspot' option. Surely we all have the same OS since we are all on 5.1.1! How can this happen? All other forums have told me to 'Acivate Personal Hotspot' with my carrier. But how can I do this if there is no option in the settings?
I have 2 IPhone, when the other one not yet update iCloud, I can using shared Wi Fi when Personal Hotspot on, after update I cloud 5.11 now can't shared anymore?I am using the same personal Apple Id for 2 IPhone, is that why I can't share Wi Fi? But I have try to using different Apple Id, but the same can't share Wife?
I know this has been working before, and I really need to connect my iPad via Bluetooth to my iPhone so that I can then use the Wireless via my iPhone. Unfortunately, every time I connect to the iPhone via Bluetooth the WiFi on the iPhone disconnects.
I just got brand new white bold 9700 yesterday from Rogers Wireless and tried to setup WiFi at home. I have BIS data plan and my laptop can use wireless connection without any problems. The phone did found my modem and I put WEP password correctly but it shows white dash and the WiFi icon on screen shows gray. I've been talking with Rogers technical support guys 3 times:
First time they asked me to turn off the phone, take out battery and put it back, delete profile and reset, it failed Second time: turn off my modem and reboot it, it didn't work neither Third time: they asked me to download desktop manager and handheld code file to reinstall OS. But I found that the link they gave me is desktop manager 4.6 which is older than mine (the CD comes with the phone is desktop 5.0.1). I have my laptop (Windows vista x64) installed desktop manager 5.0.1 via CD, and I downloaded the 4.6 version and installed it on my desktop pc (windows XP ). But I hesitate to connect my cell to either of them to continue. I don't want to mess up my cell OS. To me it doesn't make sense for me to reinstall OS and even down version from 5.0 to 4.6.
Right now I use my BIS data plan to do everything(check email, BBM so far). I've searched other posts and tried other things like run diagnoses tests, turn mobile network off and WiFi off, back on, delete WiFi profile, rescan put it back, take out battery. None of those worked. Still the icon of WiFi on screen is gray.
I would like to know if it's possible to turn my Torch 9810 into a personal wifi hotspot. I'd like to connect my iPad to the internet using my BB provider (as a "router").
I have an Australian Iphone and an ipad from australia, and as soon as I put an o2 sim card in my iphone the "personal hotspot" setting has disapeared from the settings menu.
i have a iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, i have an issue regarding the "Personal hotspot". Both are iOS 5.0.1, "BUT" my iPhone 4 has the Personal hotspot and my iPhone 4S doesnt have it... i tried to reset the phone, reset the network settings, but still i cant find the Personal hotspot on my iPhone 4S..
As a t-mobile user I used the personal hotspot for about 18 months without any problems till end of february! Yesterday, after a holiday break, it refuses to work!
I switched to w-lan hotspot, this worked! Could it be that iOS 5.1 caused this?!
