Default [Q] 4G LTE Drops out While On Mobile Hot Spot?

Any other Rezound owners with Mobile Hot Spot seeing 4G dropping out fairly often? I almost never lose 4G LTE signal anywhere in my city, but when I have MHS on, it drops out fairly often.

Just noticed this today in Chicago while using hot spot in airport. I think I'm going to call Verizon about it.

that's not good. Was thinking about adding the MHS until root is found.

I just called and got transferred almost immediately to level 2 tech support. They checked to make sure everything was configured properly on their end of the network before asking me to go to Manage Applications and clearing data in the Mobile Hotspot app.

I'll see how that goes. Next step they said would be Factory Reset, and then possibly switch out the phone.

The thing is, neither of these might fix it. It could be an issue in the software that requires an update. So if any of you have Mobile Hotspot, pay close attention to see if the 4G LTE connection drops out periodically while using MHS, and if so - dial *611 and complain.

Squeaky Wheel gets the oil!

So that didn't fix it. I so very reluctantly am going to try a Factory Reset. I can't stand the idea of having re-download all my apps and set up GO Launcher again, but this is infuriating.

let us know how it goes. Pretty sad if their MHS is jacking up the data. One more reason to stealth tether once root is obtained.

Yeah I'm going to do the Factory Reset tonight and report back.

Even if I keep the MHS for $30/mo to help ensure unlimited data and no red flags, once we have S-OFF, I definitely might switch to another tethering application if it runs smoother.

I had my laptop tethered one night just checking it out and it was dropping off but I thought it had to do with the screen going to sleep. Does LTE stay on while phone screen is asleep? I know that putting the phone in "sleep mode" is supposed to turn it off during the set hours which makes me think that it's not supposed to happen in the normal course of the day when the screen turns off.

I'm looking into cutting off my dsl if the 4g suffices for my internet connection at home.

I'm traveling for work and there is no 4g signal where I'm at and I had no problem with 3g tethering. No drop outs.

make sure under your power settings you have it in performance mode
