It seems that if I use wireless tether after about 10 minutes internet seems to go down... I can ping a site fine but when I try to connect it just keeps loading... and loading... and loading. If I through it into airplane mode for a few seconds and pull it out it works fine for another 10 minutes or so.

Rom: Velocity 1.1

Thanks,

I once read that cell phones communicate their signal strength to the towers and if it is higher than some amount the tower will order the phone to actually cut back its signal. Now, if this seemingly good battery saving idea were to start malfunctioning on the tower end..................
