Why does TP die when using "Internet Sharing"

Whenever I use Internet Sharing to tether via my TP, I notice that the battery charges for maybe 10 mins or so and then it stops charging and thus, my TP dies very soon when tethering. I know that the phone is supposed to stop charging if it gets too hot. But, tethering via USB for just 10-15 mins doesn't make it hot at all. I have tried several ROMs including Mighty's, Juicy's, Silence, NRJZ and SSS and so, I don't think it is a ROM related issue.

Can someone please suggest me what to do.. Thanks in advance.

Re: Why does TP die when using "Internet Sharing"

Lack of amperage on your USB bus I am guessing, are you using your dongle so you can have the plug in charger hooked up too?

Re: Why does TP die when using "Internet Sharing"

I have the same issue, USB tether with a normal USB port it charges for 10 min then stops charging. My Apache used to USB tether and charge fine at the same time without a problem. On a Juicy ROM 8 btw.

Re: Why does TP die when using "Internet Sharing"

Same problem here, i believe when we are using internet sharing the device is in disk drive mode wonder if that has something to do with it.

it might not feel hot to you, but it is still probably an overheating issue. The Touch Pro's radio overheats when it is used to pull down data and cannot charge while it is too hot.

Have you tried to feel the back with out the cover? If it still feels cool while tethering, then I am at a loss

It is indeed an overheating issue. The amount of power drawn while transferring data is high and causes heat. That with the added heat generated while charging a battery will be in excess of the allowable limit. The device will not charge once a certain temperature is reached. I have had success with taking the battery cover off and putting the phone in front or on top of a custom fan thing I made to keep it cool.

Re: Why does TP die when using "Internet Sharing"

I'm surprised that a custom TouchPro-specific heatsink+fan combo hasn't been realeased yet. I tried to tether with this thing shortly after it came out, had the same problem, haven't done it since

I remember reading a post from a guy who put his phone in a fridge... not sure how it worked out, but yikes.
