I just got a Verizon 4G LTE iPad and I'm having some trouble with the hotspot feature.
I can connect to the hotspot without any problems using my iPhone 4S on AT&T.
However, about 5-10 minutes after I lock the iPad screen, the hotspot connection disappears on my iPhone and goes back to AT&T. If I look in the WiFi settings on the iPhone, it does not show the iPad SSID.
When I unlock the iPad and go into settings, hotspot shows "on" but wireless says "not connected". If I select WiFi, it will change to "on" and then the hotspot is working again.
I called Apple and their only suggestion was to turn off auto screen lock which did nothing. I also went to a verizon store, but couldn't replicate the issue there. It stayed connected for about 10 minutes so I left the store and 2 miles down the road I looked at my phone and it had disconnected.
Any ideas? I guess I could try leaving the iPad screen on, although that would drain my battery pretty quick.
One more thing - I'm not leaving the range of the hotspot, I've been within 3 feet of it on all my testing.
