iPad/Android and iPhone internet share/hotspot stop working/timeout.


  • When you hotspot/share your iPhone's internet with your iPad all goes well. But as soon as the screen turns off, the iPad don't download anything, or time flies, the cell phone will stop the internet sharing/hotspot. Until you go the the internet share/hotspot screen again.
Do this:
  • On your iPad:
    1. Cell Data = OFF (Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data)
    2. Wifi = OFF
    3. Bluetooth = ON
  • On your iPhone: (in this order)
    1. Cell Data = ON
    2. Bluetooth = ON
    3. Personal hotspot = ON
    4. Wifi = OFF
    5. Go to the Bluetooth settings, this makes your Bluetooth visible for others.
  • On your iPad (again):
    1. Go to Bluetooth settings.
    2. Connect to your iPhone. (a popup window will show on your iPhone now.)
  • On your iPhone:
    1. Click allow connection.
  • Done :-)
