Teathering Data Drops using Verizon Anybody else?

[leedawg]

Hey all ive been searching for awhile on this and have not found anybody else complaining about this problem which I am sort of surprised by seeing as it has been happening to me for some time now.


Here is what is going on. I am on the verizon network and I am tethering my laptop to my phone through the USB using ICS running DCD's latest 3.0.1 ktichen .

Pretty much what happens is the phone connects fine to the itnerent and it passes the data connection to the computer then after about 5 to 30 minutes the connection will just disconnect on the phone and I will have to unplug the phone and then hit connect and plug it back into the laptop and again off it goes and works fine again for another variable amount of time usually 5 to 15 minutes.


There dosent seem to be alot of rhyme or reason to when it disconnects it just does it kinda randomly at different time intervals when im tethered. I have noticed its more likley to disconnect if There is a heavier load on the data connection say you are downloading a 20 meg file or something. It will almost inevidably drop connection halfway through the download sometime. its really weird and kinda annoying constantly reconnecting it.


I have tired WMWIFI router it does the same thing disconnects after a certain amount of time no real set amount of time sometimes five minutes others more like 15 or 30 minutes.

My 6700 would stay connected forever pretty much unless it lost signal or got a phone call. This phone hasent been real stable in teathering through any of the roms ive tried.

Does anybody else experience this or is it just me? i have a hard time believing its just me but maybe seeing as nobody else has really brought this issue up.

Possibly its just people on verizon I really dont know it seems as though the majority of people on here are on sprint so perhaps their system works a bit differently then verizons. Any way thought id share my frustrations and see if anybody had a way to fix this problem or if its just an inherent problem with the phone or radio or what.


Look forward to hearing if anybody else has any experience with this

Had same problem with 3.27 radio. Got 3.35 now and no any kind of disconnects!

I had more problems with Verizon's Access Manager dial-in connection than I do with ICS on my phone. Access Manager would disconnect for almost any reason. Sometimes I could keep a connection for a long period of time, but I never really taxed the connection. If I fired up my Cisco VPN client, it would disconnect from the internet each and every time (within a minute of establishing a VPN connection. Yes, I tried IPSEC over TCP, UDP, and SSL).

Now, using ICS and the USB connection (radio 3.35 and DCD 3.0.1), it works MUCH better. I will get a disconnect here or there, as most people do, but I can hammer on the connection (about a 100KB/sec download, VPN, etc), and it doesn't disconnect for any specific reason. My VPN client also works now.

I never tried radio 3.27. I waited until there was an "official" radio release for the 6800, and therefore am using 3.35. You could always try going back to the original VZW stuff to see if it is a hardware problem. If you're not on radio 3.35, I would update to that first.

I've downloaded over 100 MB without a disconnection, actually since I went to 3.35 radio, I'm not sure I've had it disconnect at all unless I lost signal.....Leedawg check your PM's.....

Thanks for all the replies it appears as though not many of you experience the problem with radio 3.35, I am running radio 3.35 seems just like 3.27 so perhaps I will flash back to the stock vzw rom and go from there and see if I still have the problem.

i am a VZW user as well, with the latest Sprint 3.35 radio.
i also am booted from my tethered connection periodically. even when just idling and no transfer, i can only keep a connection for about 5 mins max..
but i don't need to soft reset or anything, i just need to restart the ICS connection ..
Weird thing for me is, I tether BT and it drops me.. tether USB, and it doesn't............
