Help Droid 2 looses data connection when tethering

[user3476]

So I have a Droid 2 and just recently signed up for the wifi tethering feature.

The problem with it is after about a few minutes of usage the Droid 2 looses the data connection and I have to reconnect it again and an again which makes it a pain to do anything on the computer while it's connect to the droid hot spot.

When it disconnects it does it in an odd way for example if I have 3-4 bars of signal strength it drops down to 1 and then the 3G logo goes away and then it says data link lost but as soon as it turns the wifi hot spot off it gains those 3-4 bars back and the 3G works fine on the phone again.

I've tried a few things like putting the phone in high performance mode and going to different locations and it still does the same thing. I don't have the option to root it because it's a business phone.

I've search around and it seems like a lot of people have a similar problem but I haven't seen any solutions to solve the problem.

When you say "signed" up you mean official through VZW?

A lot of high-data usage folks have reported getting throttled, but that shouldn't be an issue if you're paying the additional fee to get tethering.

Yes the phone is signed up for the official tethering plan it's not using the hacked version the problem isn't speed it's staying connected.

I've had the problem where the phone drops out of 3G into 1X for no apparent reason. Both on STOCK and ROM's and both while TETHERING and with non-TETHERING use. Give VZW a call, they do get reports of networks issues so you're better off first verifying that it not a network side problem before taking the phone in for a replacement.
