Wireless tethering stops working while moving (train, car ect)

So you are loading data onto the iPad and then hit a dead spot in data service with the Droid. When the data service comes back on the Droid, the iPad doesn't seem to continue loading whatever it was before, is that correct?

What does it take to get the data flowing again on the iPad? It seems like it times out and doesn't continue to try to load anything (perhaps to save battery power). But that is just a guess.

Have you tried it with any other device? Perhaps a laptop. Just to see if the symptoms remain the same.

 

obviously you're travelling too close to the speed of light.

have you tried a different ROM or kernel? i've not had a single problem tethering the droid to my ipad. i've used 2.1 and 2.2 from chevy and pete and 2.2 kangerade. with the default kernels and the p3 kernels.

 

Let me just clarify for everyone out there, NO ONE, repeat NO ONE "NEEDS" an iPad, for ANYTHING.

That being said it seems to me like if you just reset the tether it would be okay. I know it sucks to have to do that, but if you'll either restart the tether or break the connection to get a new one it may work. May be a ROM issue, and it may be something that's just a glitch specific to your install for whatever reason. I would say test it by uninstall and re-install, then use the iPad as a coaster for your nice pretty new Netbook that actually has some functionality, and see if it has an issue. If so, then wipe twice, refresh ROM, either a new ROM or update the current.

 

try charging the phone if you can while moving, or using the cable to do wired tether to the ipad, does that thing even have a usb port on it ? :greendroid:

 

sometimes when 3g is lost, it takes quite a bit to re-capture the 3g data connection/stream. this is further hindered when something is constantly trying to access the stream (wifi tethering, browser, etc)

ive noticed that when im losing data connection, if i restart whatever im using, all is well.

i know its a pain with wifi tether, but its probably faster to restart the tethering than to wait for it to re-capture 3g
