IPad Personal Hotspot antenna shuts off after a few minutes of non-use. This happens in both Verizon 3G and LTE areas. Turning off LTE does not help. Turning Personal Hotspot off and then on works. Does this happen on Mini and Retina?

iPad--third generation shuts off antenna/hotspot after a few minutes of non-use.
Happens in 3G and LTE VZ environment.
Turning hotspot off and on getsw things working again.
Does Apple have antenna on a timer so it shuts off after a few minutes?
Does this happen on Mini and Retina as well?

Fixed!
Two things together have restored connectivity.
1.  I changed the name under Settings > General > About > Name from My Name's iPad to iPad of My Name.  I read somewhere that iOS 7.0.1 or 7.0.2 (I forget which) sometimes had issues with apostrophes here.  Easy enough to test.
2.  I then reset (again) the APN settings under Settings > Cellular Data > APN Settings > Personal Hotspot and reentered our provider's info (APN, Username, Password) there.
I don't know WHY it worked, but the personal hotspot is now happily sharing (again) internet connectivity with my MacBook Pro.

  • Iphone shuts down after a few minutes of non-use (after 1.1.3 update)

    After the update, if I do not use the iphone for a few minutes it basically goes dead and I need to power it on and it reloads the system...I tried to reinstall the update, delete all my data and start fresh...nothing has worked...I really do not know what else to do...it really seems a software issue...
    Any thoughts? Thanks,

    i am having the same problem... i turned the auto-lock off so my phone never sleeps and in return it runs my battery down even faster and calls people on accident... even more odd is that the car charger i bought from at&t has alweays worked fine until the 1.1.3 update and it all of the sudden started sayin that this accessory wasn't designed for an iphone and that i should put it in airplane mode so i wouldn't get interference... i have restored several times and nothing helps... i have been all over the net looking for a fix but finally had to call apple and they are sending me a loaner and i have to ship mine back to them for repair... should be here tomorrow (i hope)... beware there is a $30 loaner phone fee... as bad as it sounds i'm glad to hear that i'm not the only one with this problem...

  • Screen turns off after a few minutes and needs to be closed then opened

    hi, as the title suggests my powerbook screen turns off after a few minutes before my screensaver is set to come on and when i come back and press a key or move the pad it wont start up so i need to close the powerbook then open it up again for it to activate. its not a huge problem but my programs which connect to the internet seem to lose their connection when i open it up again. is this normal? is there a setting i can change?
    thanks

    Is there a way to "disable" Standby, Suspend and Off just when watching movies (in fullscreen or not)? I want them to do what they usually do in all other cases.
    Setting them to 0 in xorg.conf does the thing, but I need that functionality only when I'm wathing movies. Making a script that alters adjustments in xorg.conf isn't the best solution - you'd have to restart X every time you want to watch a movie .

  • My Pavilion G4 shuts down after a few minutes when I plug it in

    My hp pavilion G4 shuts down automatically after a few minutes when I plug it in. It does not happen regularly so I'm not sure of the reason of why it happens. The laptop shuts down and when I press the power button, the light on the power button just flashes but it does not start. Even if I remove the charger and push the power button, it doesn't start. I have to remove the battery and place it again to be able make the laptop start again.

    Hi rierufied,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that you are having a problem with your g4 shutting down randomly after you turn it on. When this happens do you get an error message at all? If so, what is the error message? Does this happen both when you are on battery and when it is plugged in? What operating system are you using? What is the product number of your notebook?

  • Recently my computer stops recognizing anything Bluetooth or USB related (wireless or plugged in) after a few minutes of computer use.

    Recently my computer stops recognizing anything Bluetooth or USB related (wireless or plugged in, mouse, keyboard, printer, etc.) after a few minutes of use. I don't know if it's related, but recently I upgraded my iMac g5 (2005) from OSX 10.4 to Leopard 10.5 (I was told though, that my computer can handle the upgrade by Apple personelle). Also, I had the model that was released with a faulty power supply, but Apple fixed that problem for me a couple of years ago. My fan is also pretty loud (but has been for some time) and my computer takes longer to boot that it used to (this is a recent issue). I mention all of this in case there's a chance it's connected to the same problem. Any suggestions?

  • Airport Extreme B.S. shutting down after a few minutes!

    I have one of these,it's the one with the USB port and Ethernet port.Bought it a few months ago and it had been working perfectly until this weekend when I was out of town.Apparently,my Roadrunner cable/internet/phone service was disconected this last Sunday due to a billing error;my girlfriend called them and they quickly restored our service while she was still on the phone with them.
    Well after that she calls me saying that she could not get to the net and explained to me what had happened so I figured that all it was needed was a router reset and told her to disconect the power cable from the ABS and reconnect it after a minute or so...
    Fast forward to today,and the ABS keeps shutting down by itself after 2-3 minutes after I turn it back on.What I have done several times is try another wall outlet and it seems to work momentarily but it only stays on for no more that 3-5 minutes at a time until it shuts itself down again.So now I have done this back and forth switching between power outlets many times,even reset the BS to default and reloaded it to the 5.7 version of the firmware and still keeps misbehaving.I'm thinking it could be:
    1.The power cord itself going bad(is this possible)? ,or
    2.The internal power supply.
    Any ideas???

    Yes,that's the first thing I did before trying another outlet.It's almost as if either the BS itself,or some part of the power cord overheats and fails after a couple of minutes...:(

  • 8520 shuts down after a few minutes

    I recently upgraded my OS on my curve 8520 and now i hear static when talking with someone for a few minutes and thte screen goes white. I have to take out the battery and plug it in to turn it back on or it stays stuck on the white screen and is non-responsive. I like the new features on the upgrade but I think it is what is draining my battery not even sure if it is the battery. I used to hear beeps when the batter would die and the battery indicator would start to show in red. Since the upgrade again I hear static and the phone goes white. What can I do to fix this. I can't operate like this it is dangerous and I travel alot.

    Remember, Safe Mode is a diagnostic tool. The best process would have been to see if Safe Mode has the problem. If it does, then the core OS is at fault. If Safe Mode does not have the problem, then something added on is the culprit. But, deleting them in Safe Mode and not then shifting back to Normal mode prevents you from diagnosing which is the culprit -- especially if you delete several.
    A good process would be Safe Mode, delete one app. Normal mode, see what happens. If the behavior continues in normal mode, return to Safe Mode and delete another app, and return to Normal mode. Repeat until the behavior ceases in Normal Mode...then you know the culprit...the last one you deleted.
    Good luck!

  • HP Pavilion HPE h9-1120t Phoenix - PC Suddenly Starts Turning Off After a Few Minutes of Use

    Had this computer since July 2012 and not even a hiccup.  4 days ago, the computer suddenly began turning off. It does not shut down, it turns off like the plug was pulled. When I restart I get the Windows improper shutdown message.   There is no warning at all.  No message like the computer is overheating.  It will just happen when the computer is idle with no programs open. 
    When it shuts down, the power unit light goes out for about a minute then comes back on "green" and the computer can be restarted. 
    I have unplugged the power cord and relugged and it seems fine. 
    The computer is up to date on Windows updates and can be shut down normally.
    I have taken off the cover and cleaned out all the dust and confirmed all the fans are running just like they should.  I have left the cover off and the computer still shuts down. 
    Any ideas?  Thanks.
    Computer Specs:
    HP Pavillion HPE h9-1120t Phoenix Desktop PC
    Windows 7
    3rd Gen Intel Core processor quad-core 3.5GHz 8MB Shared Cache
    10GB DDR3 SDRAM
    2TB hard drive
    1GB DDR3 AMD Radeon 7670
    Liquid Cooling
    Blue Ray and  DVD Burner

    Everyone must be gone for the week for Thanksgiving.  Can someone help?  
    Here is the latest: In SAFE MODE, the computer never shuts down all at once. It will stay on indefinately.   I tried SYSTEM RESTORE to 3 previous versions all failed and the computer shuts down on it's own.
    I checked the computer setup menu and all looked fine, even turned off OVERCLOCKING.
    Did a reinstall of the factor Windows install and as soon as it gets to the point where it begins to initial settings (after I enter in the WiFi password), it shuts down on it's own.
    Any ideas?  Thanks. 

  • My Macbook Pro shuts down after a few minutes of using.

    It shuts off after 10 minutes or less of using.  I can feel that my laptop is hot around the ports area and I am using almost every port.  Could that be the cause of the shut off  because of overheating?  My settings for battery and screen saver are turned off and I am plugged in with the power adapter.  Please help it's frustrating to do any work when this keeps happening.  Thanks in advance.

    It would help if you would indicate the exact model of your MBP and the OS you are using.
    Open Activity Monitor and look for any applications that may be using a lot of CPU resources.
    Install iStat pro and see what kind of temperatures your MBP is generating, especially the CPU.
    Please post back.
    Ciao.

  • Screen turns off after a few minutes of inactivity

    Hi guys,
    Not sure if this is a DE/X related problem or kernel.
    Running KDE 4.2.4 and my monitor would switch off after a while of inactivity.  I have disabled DPMS for the monitor and I've ensure that screensavers or power management in KDE is disabled.  Where else can I look?  I don't like this behavior.  (irritating when watching a movie and the screen just powers down)

    Is there a way to "disable" Standby, Suspend and Off just when watching movies (in fullscreen or not)? I want them to do what they usually do in all other cases.
    Setting them to 0 in xorg.conf does the thing, but I need that functionality only when I'm wathing movies. Making a script that alters adjustments in xorg.conf isn't the best solution - you'd have to restart X every time you want to watch a movie .

  • Using the Cyclops speed camera app, the sound on my iPhone 4s switches off after a few minutes. Any ideas?

    when using the Cyclops speed camera app the sound on my iPhone 4s switches off after a short while. If I close the app and reopen it, there's still no sound. If I restar the phone and open Cyclops I get sound "welcome to Cyclops" or whatever the greeting is. Has anyone got any ideas?

    I've taken several Express devices apart in the past to experiment with them. The internal components warm up quite a bit in the first 10-15 seconds. They continue to heat up after this.  It takes 3-4 minutes or so before the heat transfers to the outer case for dissipation.
    Nothing is certain, but I'm 95% sure that this is your issue.  But, trying to find a microscopic break in a circuit board trace is, as I mentioned, a real longshot. If you have the time and have done things like this before, it might be worth a shot.
    I guess the bottom line is that even if this is not the issue, the device will still need to be replaced since Apple does not offer repairs. There are no software or firmware fixes for somthing like this.
