How is your experience with hotspot on iPhone 4s?

Worked fine every time I tried it.

 

Works peachy

 

It's far better than my old iPhone 4.

That one was dreadful, whereas my 4S is just fine.

 

I have a question say you are tethering your ipad to your phone. when you hit home or where there is wifi does your ipad change over or does it stay tethered to the phone?

 

It might be just that particular laptop that's having trouble connecting or even detecting the iphones wifi network.
Did you try connecting other laptops or devices to your iphones hotspot?

 

I doubt it will switch an activ connection. If you disable hotspot on the phone, it should find the home wifi quickly.

 

It won't switch over so long as it sees wifi from your phone. All your iPad "knows" is that it is on a viable wifi connection, thus it is not wasting resources looking for other connections.

You aren't going to want to tether via wifi from your phone for a terrible long time anyway, unless you are a walking charging station.

 

yes so I discovered. it has to be done manually both from the phone and the ipad. you have to open the personal hotspot setting then manually connect to it. Well I am not sure if it will connect on its own. I also notice if you are using the hotspot feature your phone dumps a wifi connection and changes over to 4g.
