iPad won't connect to iPhone hotspot

EEvery time I want to connect my iPad mini to my iPhone 5 via personal hotspot it won't recognize my phone. If I change the phones name is allows me to establish a new connection and all is good. When I disconnect and try again I have to change the phones name again.

iPhone 5, iOS 8.4

Hello robertfromstoney creek,


Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.


It seems like you have to repeatedly change the name of your iPhone in order to connect to the Personal Hotspot with your iPad mini.


I recommend going through the steps in the "Basic troubleshooting" section of iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot to address this behavior, particularly steps 5 - 8.


Best Regards.
