Trying to use mobile hotspot on my phone. I enable the app, and plug it into laptop in pc mode. When it comes time to access the internet the 3g connection drops off and doesn't return until the phone is unplugged from the laptop. Not sure how to fix this.

Hi chalk70,

 

Thank you for your inquiry. Are you still having the connection drops when using your hotspot? Are you aware of a software update that has been made available? If you have not updated your Droid 2 device, I suggest this update. This link provides information how to access the update with instructions for installing it along with the many benefits. One of the benefits of this update is helps correct the drop connections issue as it relates to the hotspot as well as many other featured improvements.

why are you plugging it into the laptop, it should be a stand-alone modem?
