I pay for the mobile hotspot on the thunderbolt ($30 unlimited plan), however the phone drops the connection every 15-20 minutes... I am in a 3g only area, so I leave the phone in 3g only mode.
I just rooted the phone, installed the Wireless Tether app and sure enough the data connection stays on and stays connected.
Anybody have any ideas as far as why the official Verizon app keeps dropping the data connection but the Wireless Tether app keeps a rock solid connection?
I'm going to continue to pay for the $30 unlimited hotspot feature just to cover my ass, and I don't mind paying for what I use... but this is nuts. Verizon Tech Support was useless so I'm not sure where to turn.
Thanks!
