either way once the download has completed the connection is terminated a few seconds after and a session of your IP is saved until the next request.

anyway, even if your downloading a torrent that is 24 hours long the connection is bound to be interrupted at one point another as you switch towers or whatever, it's just invisible and reconnects quickly again and resumes..

these are computers and they don't overheat unless your operating it in an enclosed plastic bag or something. uh could you imagine the crap cell companies would get from customers if their device overheated because they used it too much? total chaos.. and when was the last time anyone posted about their phone overheated? i don't recall such issues.

it's like buying a brand new car and having it break down because you drove it too far.

Well THAT might cause and overheat. though 100' does not sound unsafe Stuff it in your pocket and its gonna be 98.6 in short order.

But yeah downloading a torrent is gonna keep all the radios maxed and on 100% duty cycle. that will probably make it a bit warm. I know most of my phones are physically warm (anything that feels WARM to your sense of touch is over 98') and almost hot after a really long conversation. Especially the smaller phones (less material to act as a heat sink)

But if all it got was 100' I would not be too concerned. An idea is to leave it on its face and remove the battery cover. It will cool better and make sure the screen backlight is OFF and the screen as well if possible (less E usage less heat build up)

Torrents?? Over EVDO and sprint does not mess with you! WOW

As for phones not overheating. How many phones have you had? every single phone I have ever owned has gotten physically warm to very nearly HOT (some of them downright hot as in well over 120') after extended usage.

Far less when used with headset (no "face" to insulate and provide heat) but yeah my sanyo 6200 damn that bugger got hot enough to scorch me a little after a 30 minute conversation Future phones same thing to differing degrees.

i can't even believe people are worried about overheating, yet they aren't worried sprint might catch them downloading all that PORN and crap..

Porn? Not at all. Just cause all you dl is pron doesnt mean im a scumbag too. Some of us like music, movies, and programs much more.


Re: nerys I already do all that you said. I just make sure to keep an eye on it. the new S2U2 with the battery is a great help.

Do you use an exchange server, or other push service? If so, try disabling it. Made a huge difference for me using WMWifiRouter (zero disconnects since turning off exchange sync).

really?? ill try that cuz during the day my push email is on

**update**

that didnt fix it. i dont know why this happens i think its this dumb azz computer....ive always had problems tethering with it.

the crazy part is its new.

For WMWifiRouter at least, it is a known issue (found it the other day browsing the FAQs at WMWifiRouter.com). I'm not sure if it is interfering with ICS or WMWifiRouter itself, but it made a big difference by disabling it. Worth a shot....even if you are on a POS Touch
