anybody has that problem is when ur using WIFIteather and out of no where it shuts off? it metro shutting down my phone? help plz
 
WIFITether has it's own temperature gauge and when it decides the phone's too hot, it will turn the phone off by itself. So even if the actual phone itself is not hot, if the temp in WIFItether is too high, it'll turn the device off, supposedly to make sure you don't break it by letting things burn in it.
That's why I've stopped using wifi-tether though...
I am using OpenGarden instead, and so far (about a month into it), it has not automatically shut down even once!
The only downside is OpenGarden is ad-hoc, so although you can connect your computer to it, other android devices won't be able to connect, as android does not yet support ad-hoc mode :(
 
I slide the phone open and stick it in the vent of my wall unit AC here at the office. It just so happens to fit perfectly.

I can download 35 torrents (kidding!) and the temp will still be "-4C"* (not kidding about temp though!). Cool, huh? :D

* Not the real temp, the gauge is actually off, but I forget now by how much. But anyway, point is, phone stays plenty cool. :cool:
