I am new to tethering my iphone 4S to my new ipad mini and ipad4. I have a few questions:

1. if the phone goes to sleep in two min autolock does that screw with the connection? Or how about the pad when not being used? – when it wakes, is the connection still there?
2. I seem when I start that it takes 3-5 minutes for the ipad to see the iphone connection and the circle keeps spinning and I don’t get the “check” next to it. The phone says “1 connection” way before I can actually see the internet or whatever.
3. Do I have to have blue tooth paired too?

Thanks in advance
