For those who recall, I cracked my Trinity screen on January 1st of 2008. Using MyMobiler, I still use my PDA for tethering.
Up until December 22, tethering was fine with AT&T. 3G speeds of about 400k up and down at my home. Since then, tethering breaks about 3-5 minutes after it starts, requiring a battery-out on the PDA, and a reboot of the notebook.
The tether (USB or Bluetooth) shows an active connection, but no pinging (IP or domain) and no connection. Sometimes it clears up on its own.
Last year around Christmas, my tethering slowed to a crawl -- I figured it was all the idiots getting their new-fangled phones and trying their hardest to download as many ringtones as possible. So I figured this is the same issue.
But I borrowed a friend's Motorola RAZR V3xx, plugged my SIM in, set up a tether, and it works fine. Even faster than my Trinity (500K up and down). Plus, it works for hours and hours.
I'm guessing my Trinity is just done. Sad, but possible. It gets ridiculously hot when USB charging. I've contemplated buying a new LCD screen, but I guess it's time to just retire it in the shoebox with my other 25 PDAs.
Anyone seen similar issues, though?
