iPhone 4 tethering question

‎04-19-2012 06:34:28 PM

I have an iPhone 4 with the data plan tha allows tethering. Although I leave tethering turned on, I have to unlock the phone and go to the tether screen and go to the wifi screen on my iPad every time I want to tether. The connection is broken the instant the iPad goes to sleep, and the whole sequence has to be done again to restore it. This doesn't seem right - can anyone confirm this one way or the other, and if it's not operating correctly, how can I fix it?

I have similar problems with a similar configuration. I have tried resetting the network on the iPhone. (Settings/General/ Reset)

Sometimes when I simply "wake up" the iPhone, the connection restores.

I find the hotspot feature "spotty."

The wifi on the iPhone powers down after 15 minutes idle in sleep - if no connections are active (tethering) it will power down - otherwise you'd have 6 hour battery life on your iPhone. Since the iPad uses the same rule, once the iPad sleeps, it drops its wifi... and then your iPhone hotspot will power down as well.

If you plug the iPhone into AC power, it won't power down wifi/hotspot, so if you want the hotspot to stay "live" that's the only way to do it.

This is by design. Unless the iPhone was roughly 4x bigger and all battery, there is no way to keep the hotspot powered up all the time on battery and make it thru a day of use

Yes, to get an always-on connection, you'll need to plug your iPhone 4 in to an AC outlet.
