    I have finally found a solution that works for me.

    To use my iphone (4s) as a hotspot and connect to my ipad (3) :

     

    ipad settings: Cell Data OFF Wifi OFF Bluetooth ON.

     

    iphone settings: Cell Data ON. Bluetooth ON. Personal hotspot ON. Wifi OFF (in that order)

     

    I can connect the ipad to the iphone's hotspot using bluetooth and it works with no interruptions.

    I am able to close down all apps on my iphone (including settings) and turn off the screen. The hotspot keeps broadcasting a signal.

     

    A bit of a pain, but it works every time for me and has never disconnected.

     

    Too bad Apple can't seem to come up with a fix!!
