Hey guys when I use the wireless tether does not matter which...my phone will randomly shut off usually 1 or 2 hours of use then shuts off. I have tried undervolting and overvolting, differnt roms and kernals...any suggestions? Thx

Right behind you!
What is battery temp when it shuts off. The Wifi tethers usually have the temp up for a reason. If the battery gets to hot it may shut off.

That's kind of high for battery temp. Probably is a phone safety feature. Does it do this if plugged into a charger or USB of computer?

Are you Overclocking or undervolting? If so set your max CPU to 800 Mhz while tethering. Remove any undervolting.

Do you BONSAI?

If you are getting 1-2 hours of tethered WIFI before it gets too hot you are doing pretty good;) The only issue I have had since upgrading to the new 1.1.1 is the WIFI tether would cause my battery to get very hot, very quickly(like 15 to 20 mins). I tried all the fixes I could find in various thread but ultimately the one that solved it was Odin back to stock and reflash the ROM. I also got rid of voltage control and went with setCPU alone set @ conservative 200-1300, and its running fast and strong! It still gets hot after an hour or more of tethering but that is very rare when i would ever need to tether that long...lol.

Thanks to all contributors for the killer ROM !
