So hows that multitask working for you?
I could sure use it here at times.
Some of these "hacker" apps like multitask/jailbreak, have hidden gotchas that people discover, sometimes with real trouble.
You may recall me bragging about how I have the mobile wifirouter on my TP2 to use with the ipad when away from the house or free hotspot. OK, it does work very well however, I did discover a gotcha in it's use. Seems there is a bug, well a couple I discovered in the past 2 weeks.
Bug 1- On the phone, when it is running you can't have it work in the background like other apps. Once you set up the connection your connection is lost if you try to open other apps on the phone or even answer a call ( well we knew that to be the case ) but even if I wanted to look at the weather app on the TP2 while the router app was running it would kill it. Therefore, it is required that you dedicate your phone to being an internet connection and wifi router.
Bug 2- This happened just once but by accident and then I was able to repeat it. The mobile wifi router may not close out, but stay running, preventing your phone from accessing the internet or data connection until you physically remove the app and soft reset the phone. Simply soft reset won't do. Have to remove the app and then soft reset. Keep the cab on the phone and reinstall the next time you need the feature.
This makes its use less convenient than I had originally thought. Therefore I put it in the category of "Possible but not convenient feature" The app should be used when you really need it and are prepared to uninstall and do a reset to prevent the app from strangling your phones own internet access.
At this point I don't know what triggers the strangle hold on the phone after using it but I was able to recover from this bug several times yesterday.
