Hi everyone I have been having a problem lately with my tethering I searched the entire site to see if someone else had this problem but I didn't see any others. When I'm connected through Phone as Modem through the Microsoft tethering or through WMWifiRouter I will randomly get disconnected and my laptop makes the sound as if the USB was being disconnected from the laptop. It will then attempt to reconnect. When using the Microsoft tethering it gets stuck and I have to unplug my TP then plug it back in. When using WMWifiRouter it will reconnect by itself. I am just wondering is there a fix for this issue. Were I am I always have full bars and they never drop not even for a minute. If anyone can shine some light on this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

If any other phone info is needed just let me know and I will post the required info.

did you try putting it on DATA instead of phone as modem?
Ya i tried putting it as DATA to it still does the same thing. I have even tried different ROMS and still the same problem.
I've (just recently) had this going on as well. It seems to disconnect over and over for a while, then stay connected for some time. I've had 3 different ROM's on my Pro (Sprint) in the last month, and experienced it on all 3.
Maybe they're catching on... /hide!
This has happened to me many times also, I think that there is an issue with the overall DATA that is sent to the phones. I sometimes watch streaming movies or episodes (Go Southpark!!!) on my phone and I notice that even when not tethering, there is a pause in the connection from time to time... Could this be the cause? Maybe there is enough of a disconnect there that causes the pc and the phone to loose connection.
Hope this helps or shines a little light on the matter.
i am having the same problem while tethering, was thinking that they were finally catching on to the unauthorized tethering. have been looking into finding a way around it, but not much luck yet. will be going in through qpst and removing the dun specification from one of the lines in the phone to see if it would simply route it through the phone data instead of the tethering data.
I can relate. Its happened to me many a time. I just assumed it was a dropped connection. Similar to a dropped call only instead of voice, data.
Does anyone have a answer to this problem or do you think T-mobile is catching on? Because I know i am having similar issues I will be downloading a youtube video and half way threw it the computer will just disconnect..
Hi!
Next sunday I will take a seven hour train. And in the latest releases of wifi tethering it has come a temperature view of the battery.
What I am asking about is, do I have to watch my phone the hole time for not being overheated? What about when I am charging?
Im at work atm, so have to be short of explonation right now
Thanks

I occasionally do this for a hour or two and seems to be fine. Longest I've done it was three hours without any issues. This was using pdanet.

Others already question this. But I think a lot more practical to use the wifi tethering than any other connection type (Bluetooth and wired). However is it possible to have a non-wired connection without heating the phone?
I ask this because the staff of the HTC does not support this.
Thanks in advance
Thanks a lot for the link!
So what they say is that if you wanna tether, use usb? I dont really care whether I use wired or non-wired thering.
Sorry I misunderstood what you were asking. My phone was connected via USB and using PdaNet to connect the laptop to the WiFi. Didn't seem to heat up. I also have a silicon case on the phone.
Since the phone is constantly using both the Wi-Fi and (or) the Mobile Network Connection over hour's. It will get a little hot.
But, you can adjust the clock with "overclock widget" or "setcpu" to a lower value, so it don't uses that much processor power all the time.
The Hero should handle to teeter for some hours, anyway.
Recently I started using a Bluetooth mouse with my tab and I noticed that my wifi connection and speed would sometimes randomly drop. At first I though it was my router but both my laptop and phone had a stable connection via wifi. I decided to run several speed tests on the tab, first with Bluetooth off, then again with it on. With BT off, I averaged 3-4 Mbps which is my normal connection but with BT on, the speeds stuttered between 400-900 kbps. I know BT will cause some interference with wifi but I didn't expect it to be that severe. Is anyone else having the same issue?

Nope. None here. Ran the FCC an speed test everal times. Everything looked good. I use a Dell bluetooth mouse that I have had for a while.
The only problem I have with the new EVO is it will disconnect from WIFI every few hours forcing me to turn WIFI on and then off again. Anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

So far, mine has been rock solid on two routers. Hopefully you didn't get a bum unit.

i personally haven't had this problem, but you are not alone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671744
everyone is complaining about disconnect/reconnect there.
Yes.
Sometimes it's fine sometimes it's not.
I left in the car came back and it didn't reconnect to WIFI on it's own.
Even if I did a WIFI scan it would not reconnect.
Toggled WIFI and it reconnected fine.
FYI, I am rooted.
I have that problem...have had to reconnect 3 times today. No way to tell if you're disconnected either (besides not being able to hit websites, email, play store, etc).
I've had this happen to me a few times. Even with 3g actually. Anyone else experiencing 3g disconnects/reconnects?
Sent from my E4GLTE on XDA.
so, finally this is happening to me this morning, after 2 days of rock solid wifi. this morning I noticed when I turn screen on, wifi was off but connected itself real quick as I was unlocking it. I know it was disconnected because then I got 2 emails and gtalk messages that SHOULD HAVE come trough and notified me half hour prior.
I've been messing with the wifi sleep and power settings ever since, sending myself chat requests to test. it seems 20 minutes is the cutoff time before wifi drops to one bar or disconnects. this is a problem as chat messages should be pushed instantly, not when it gets around to reconnecting itself.
I've tried all different "yes no"options under keep wifi awake, power, etc etc and it seems 20 minutes either disconnects wifi or goes into some low-power wifi that is too weak to get push notifications. it seems to me it checks once every half hour for notifications if "never keep wifi from sleeping" is checked. again, this is a HUGE problem for things like chat programs, fring, anything that uses internet to communicate and not the 3g network.
again,I wasn't having thus problem for the last 2 days till I woke up this morning. This phone isn't getting secret background updates is it?? it still would need to tell me it downloaded and ask if I want to install, right??
me thinks this has to do with network scanning, for lte, as there is no connect or stay connected options for lte,I assume its gonna auto connect and disconnect to save battery like the thunderbolt did. I think its auto low-powering the wireless chip too except 3g in the same manner, unless never disconnect wifi during sleep is checked, and then it just turns it on and off. well,I have one of those weak internal-antenna routers so when it goes low-power, it can't stay connected of or moves or someone walks between me and the router. its a big problem to get chat notifications and Skype calls half hour later than they were sent because my phone is in done kind of auto-power-saving mode. I've spent the last 4 hours messing with this issue.
someone help!!
This morning my WiFi was connected without having to turn WiFi off/on again. I checked the other thread mentioned and my 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' option is already set to 'Always'. I haven't rooted my phone yet so everything is stock.
For me it will show WiFi at the top as if it is connected but I try to do anything online and it won't work till I turn it off/on again. At that point I will receive any old notifications too.
I know for sure it's not my router because my Galaxy Tab continues to work just fine. I also have 3 computers connected to the WiFi with no issues.
Going to try a few more things and fiddle with the 'Best Wi-Fi Performance' option as well even though my signal shows full.
HTC!!!!! its always two steps forward, one step back!! something happened to my phone overnight because now connectivity is just jacked after the phone goes into sleep mode. no new apps installed
its true! the one X forums have way more relevant info than the evo forums have. they have a fix for this, but you have to be rooted. i also found this, which works for our evo:

How to access the hidden power save menu
Mine seems to not be staying connected when I let the phone sleep for a while. No problems while I am using it or signal dumping just when it's sleeping. I have my settings set to never. Annoying, hopefully fixed with a software update.
After setting the best wifi performance option on it seems that my notifications and wifi work better. Not sure how much this drains the battery though since I am at my desk with it charging most the time.

This started happening to me yesterday, as well as the phone rebooting when it attempts to connect to Veriz -- err, roaming data. I've also had the issue where I had to toggle WiFi to get it to connect to an AP again; these issues used to happen to my OG EVO way back when, so this has to be some sloppy software change management on HTC's part. My EVO's going back to Sprint; I don't pay to beta test.
I already posted in the other thread, but will say this.
Please call sprint and voice your issue. If/when they have enough complaints, someone at htc will look into it and it will hopefully be part of the next update.
Btw, I think one of the triggers is no wifi activity. If you're getting push email every 45-60 min, then wifi remains on. If not, then it shuts off after about an hour.
The hidden power settings applies only to when the battery is low (25 or 15% remaining). Either way, it doesn't fix the problem.
Notch another one with this issue.
I had the issue even when I turned on my phone for the first time. I connected to the wifi during setup and couldn't activate my dropbox because of lack of connection.
Once I got through setup, I turned off wifi, turned it on and it worked again.
But there has been a few other times, especially when I first enter a wifi spot, I need to turn off and turn on.
It is quite annoying. And like somebody else said, there is no way of knowing this until you try something.
this seriously is a huge problem. google voice calls don't come through, emails don't come, anything internet connection. once you on off it,I had 8 missed calls, ten work emails, etc etc. plus if it thinks its connected, shows the wifi bar, but not actually connected, it fubars your 3g data connection for a few minutes trying to connect to something. I am furious about this as I didn't have this problem my first two days with this beautiful phone. now I'm seeing the ugly side, and I don't like it. and I'm not rooted yet so I can't fix it!!!!
the google voice phone calls do NOT come through, and this is a major major problem. wtf was htc thinking??
I wonder if a suitable work around might be to use some wifi keep alive widget running that pings the router every 30-60 minutes...?
I'm not sure, someone more knowledgeable will have to let us know. I imagine it won't without being a huge battery drain. shouldn't auto sync do that anyway? I'll look and try later tonight if don't hear from any experts
I'm not sure what autosync is? I use k9 mail setup with imap/push.
I've had my s9+ for over two weeks and absolutely love the phone. There is one problem I am facing. I usually game on my ps4 using my mobile hotspot on the T-mobile network. When I test my connection my download speeds are usually high, 50 download and around 4-6 upload. For some reason I have gotten random lag spikes ( due to the ping fluctuating ) I turned off power saving mode under configure mobile hotspot, but still nothing. I never had this issue on my google pixel. Just to confirm I popped my SIM card back into my pixel and used it for about 2 hours no spikes whatsoever. Any ideas?
Bump
Can't comfirm for Ps4 as I haven't used it with that as of now. But yes, when I connect it to my laptop as hotspot, network speed is terrible and it continues to disconnect the internet. I have to connect to VPN again and again.
having similar issues with my in car wifi keeps dropping to my headunit. old s7 is fine

Having the same issue on my laptop, works perfectly with my work phone on the same network, but when connecting to any laptop i get these spikes in latency.
I have attached some screenshots that show my ping on my phone, vs on my laptop via hotspot which shows the spikes.
Did you find a solution?
After I got the latest update from T-mobile I did a clean reset and flashed a new image through Odin. I have tested it out desktop without any disconnections or lag spikes. I have tested it out watching Netflix YouTube videos in 4K without any hiccups. I called Samsung and they said they had multiple complaints about lag spikes on the ps4. It seems to me that it isn't optimized to hold a consistent Ping. Samsung said they submitted a ticket and gave me a ticket number. Hopefully they can find the issue and correct it. Will update periodically as soon as Samsung gives me an update.
News? I have the Same problem.
With Samsung s7 hotspot i have 32 ms on my ps4, with my new s9 hotspot i have 129ms.
im italian.
