Q: iPad loses Airplay when using iPhone hotspot
Having no "normal" WiFi, I'd like to use the following setup:
Apple tv 2 model 1378
IPad 2 IOS 8.1.2 - because it is much easier to operate than iPhone
IPhone 4s IOS8.1.2 - without SIM
When I choose mirrorin, the selection changes to iPad after a few settings.
I tried the following: it worked the first time I changed language to German. It stopped working when I changed back!

Airplay missing icon - I saw this fix in another forum when someone upgraded their software and ended up loosing Airplay....sounded crazy but totally worked! My airplay icon is back, and working!!
On your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, navigate to Settings > General > International > Language and change to a different language (e.g. if you are using English, switch to French). The device will go through a language switch/reset process, and your AirPlay icon should be restored. Next navigate back to Settings > General > International > Language (translated into the new language, of course) and switch back to your original language.
Cheers, Tom
