Mar 3, 2014 4:49 PM (in response to Hooishengjie)
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!!
