Tethering: Battery/performance

Hey guys,

So I'm kind of caught between two different options for tethering.

-If i tether using ICS/USB, connection speed and reliability are good, but battery drains fast because the usb port only provides about 400 mAH and the discharge rate is like 600-700 a lot of times.

-If I tether using wmwifirouter or HTC wifi router, battery seems to stabilize (charge and discharge are about the same when plugged into 1A wall charger) but the connection speed and reliability are crap. A ping loop test shows that i continually get dropped packets every minute or so.

Both of these solutions are with the device mounted above the AC vents in the car so that it doesn't overheat.

Anyone have a solution that will allow for speed, reliability, AND battery life?

You want NueBattery from No2Chem, it enables 1amp charging from most USB ports

Weird, i already have it (cooked into energyROM), but my phone can't ever pull anything close to 1a from laptop usb. Anyone else experiencing this?

Re: Tethering: Battery/performance

Are you sure its enabled? I don't think it is by default, you have to enable it and accept the warning by pressing ok.

If it is enabled, it might just be that your USB hub is limiting it and will not let it over power. After all, the USB standard is 500ma, and No2Chem says on his site that it will not work with some USB host hubs because of this limit.
