Enabling Personal Hotspot on iPad Pro 9.7

Aside

Since the Apple iPad Pro 9.7″ includes an embedded Apple Sim card, the ability turn on Personal Hotspot has become more difficult, especially if you insert a carrier provided data sim. However, the solution is simple, and only needs to be done once.

  1. Go to Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Data Options
  2. Select APN Settings.
  3. In the ‘Personal Hotspot‘ options, enter the name of the APN for your carrier. e.g. my carrier is DiGi (Malaysia) and the APN is 3gdgnet (this is only for data-only sims, different from diginet which is used on phone sims that use data + talk). Your carrier may have a different APN setting. You may be able to find out here http://wiki.apnchanger.org/malaysia .
  4. Once done, return to Settings > Mobile Data. You should see a ‘Set Up Personal Hotspot‘ option. It may be greyed out.
  5. Turn off Mobile Data, or better yet, turn off your device and restart it.
  6. Give about 2-3 minutes and open the Settings app.
  7. You should see Personal Hotspot as a new Settings option in the bar on the left, and the Mobile Data > ‘Set Up Personal Hotspot’ should have changed to ‘Personal Hotspot’.
  8. You can select Personal Hotspot and put in a desired password for your devices to use when connecting to your iPad Pro.

Tada!

Enjoy it.

Fathers, if we want our daughters to marry godly men, we should be helping to make such men in the assembly. 🙂 #dadsinchurch #christianparenting

On Singleness.

“Singleness needs to be viewed more as a season of time . . . unpredictable, without a specific length, and with various opportunities . . . A season of singleness provides freedom to grow, a time for healing, and renewal . . the greatest challenge for singles and those who walk beside them is to understand the season in which they find themselves, to seize the challenge for growth, changes and becoming God’s whole person.” Carolyn Coons, Singles Ministry Handbook.

Here comes the dreaded GST,
Our new reality,
The State hopes for prosperity,
The people are shrouded with uncertainty.

If you’re filled with doubt and worry,
Turn to Jesus the Almighty,
Trust in His grace and ability,
Face the future confidently,
He has promised to provide for thee.

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. -Philippians 4:19”
