How can it be the Mobile Hotspot feature worked, failed, and then worked again?

I am having a love hate relationship with my Galaxy S3. The latest experience happened when I arrived at the beach expecting to connect to the Internet through a mobile hotspot established on my Galaxy S III; but that was not to be.  When I turned on my Macbook it could not find the mobile hotspot named Cavanaugh established a half hour earlier with help from a Verizon Wireless Sales Consultant, and all devices were allowed to connect. What could cause this inconsistency!
I went home and as I customarily do I plugged my cell phone into its charger.  The battery had 44% capacity left, I like to recharge to 100% at the end-of-day, so I recharged the cell phone to 100%.  Guess what?  With the cell phone battery fully charged the mobile hot appeared on my notebook, and I connected the notebook to the Internet through the cell phone.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?  How much battery juice is needed to run mobile hotspot?

While I am unsure how much battery is "needed" to run the hotspot, the battery WILL drain faster when the hotspot is active. Quite possibly, the phone will deactivate the hotspot when the battery falls below a certain level.
This is the reason I ONLY have my hotspot turned on when I want to use it. I don't see a reason to have it active when not using it, along with the "possibility" of someone hijacking my signal in order to use my data stream without having to pay for it.

  • How can I stop the execution on a JSP page and start it again

    Hi
    I am making a program that simulates how to manage transactions when accessing a database by using locks. I have run into a problem and I hope someone has the time to help me.
    When a user does an update the transaction commits and releases its locks when the program executes
    <%stmt.executeUpdate("commit!"); %>
    I need to put a break in to stop the program executing this statement, to illustrate the lock is set correctly.
    I have tried to put in an alert box but this does not prevent the rest of the java code being executed.
    I have tried to use prompt boxes, JavaScript functions, but these functions cannot have any java code in them.
    I have tried using the java.swing JOptionPane boxes but this didn?t work either
    I have tried to get input from the user but I don?t know how to retrieve this data on the same page. (As far as I know you have to use submit and even refresh the page or retrieve it on the next page).
    Does anyone know how I can stop the execution on a JSP page and start it again (on same page)
    Mette

    I already have another client (Tomcat jsp application) running and it throws a SQLException correctly when I don�t put in a commit=true statement and don't close the database connection.
    But the problem is how to get the code above to stop to illustrate I have set this lock.
    I have tried to use the JOptionPane but because my program is running in a web browser I cannot use the JOptionPane dialog box.
    I have tired using an alert box but it executes the commit statement before the alert box is dispayed. So this does not work
    While (i < 2)
    if( i==1)
    %>alert(�The transactions commits when you press Ok�); <% //what it to stop execution here
    else
    stmt.executeUpdate(�commit�);
    I am not using threads so I cannot use the sleep function.
    I am using mysql and have already configured it to detect deadlocks and how long to wait for locks.
    Thanks for your help

  • How can I search the stage for a given Movieclip and then add all instances of it to an Array? AS3

    I would like to Add multible instances of one Movieclip, (Library Name = Bats | instance name = none), inside of another Movieclip (instance name = back.visuals) // (By HAND) NOT by addChild(mc_name); // Easy
    If anyone could help me out with code to do the next steps:
    Search the Movieclip, (instance name = back.visuals), that contains the Movieclips, (Library Name = Bats | instance name = none), manually added to the stage by hand.
    Then for all instances of this movieclip (Library Name = Bats | instance name = none) add them to an Array.
    Thank You,
    Dyami

    I think we are having some missed communication. I do not wish to Change Flash's IDE or deveolp new features for flash. I was wondering if there was a way to do my question with AS3. something along the lines of :
    var enemyList:Array = new Array;
    for (var index:int = 0;index < back.visuals.numChildren;index++)
        var wall:MovieClip = back.visuals.getChildAt(index) as MovieClip;
    /* Check to see if wall is of a Specfic MovieClip */
    /* if (Above is True){ enemyList.push(wall) };

  • How can I get the escape key to work again?

    I've used "esc" to get out of VI's insert mode for 40 years. I am not going to relearn that keystroke as "ctl-esc", period. Even if I were to do that, then I'd be typing ctl-esc on other platforms where it would not work because I have to type "esc" alone. If there is a way to fix in in System Preferences->keyboard, I cannot find it. If there is not, then it is completely 100% brain-dead wrong. I hope that's not the case.  So there is definitely a bug:
    The key-up event on the escape key does not cause the escape key code to be delivered to the active window when no other key is pressed, or
    The UI is sufficiently obtuse that the cause of the suppression cannot readily be found.
    I do hope it is merely the latter because I am compelled to use Outlook and Outlook does not work properly under OS/X 10.6.  (Our Exchange Server is rigged to only allow Outlook clients to send email outside of the company.)
    Thank you.

    The answer is:  The bug is in the UI.  Speech recognition was enabled, by default it uses the bare escape key as a "mic on" indicator, and it does not leave any trace in the keybord configuration.  So that is the bug.  It needs to leave a trace there, a la: "X Listen-for-voice-command  ^" under Mission Control.

  • Itunes on my iPhone 5 only displays the artist list with the UP NEXT feature.  How can I change the UP NEXT feature on my iPhone 5 to display the next songs that are to be played on my play list?

    Itunes on my iPhone 5 only displays the artist list with the UP NEXT feature.  How can I change the UP NEXT feature on my iPhone 5 to display the next songs that are to be played on my play list?

    Hi Sarah,
    It sounds like the songs have either not yet synced over to the iPhone, or something went wrong when attempting to sync to the iPhone. My recommendation is to uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox.
    Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

  • HT5295 How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    Hi there.
    I listened to podcast there were two things I found that helped me out. Both we're in the podcast app itself.
    Firstly change the default sorting order. When looking at the list off episodes a available on your ios device tap on the description part at the top, this will bring up the settings for that podcast (subscribe mark as played etc) scroll to the Bottom and select oldest first. This will mean that if you are listening to the latest download it will stop at the end as there will be no more to play.
    Secondly, and useful if listening to older podcasts in the list, you can use the timer to stop once the current episode has ended. To do this when you are in the podcast playback screen slide the "album artwork" up, revealing the playback options and nifty tape playing animation this is where you adjust playback speed and set a timer. The timer has a number of options to set playback to stop after set amount of time. However one of these options is to stop once the current episode you are listening to ends. This can also be current chapter if the podcast you are listening to supports chapters.
    Hope this helps, if not clear let me know

  • How can i take the pictures from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything

    How can I take the pics from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything?

    Pictures on an iPod are stored in a special format, optimized for the iPod's small lower resolution screen, to save storage space.  iTunes puts them into that format when syncing.  There is setting in iTunes, on the iPod's Photos screen (where you set up syncing of photos) for Include full resolution photos.  If that checkbox was checked when you synced the photos to the iPod, THEN you can Enable disk use and find those photo files on the iPod in the Photos folder. 
    Otherwise, you cannot get your photos back, using iTunes.  There may be third-party utilities that can extract individual photos from the iPod, but they will still be lower-resolution versions of the original photo.

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).
