[Bug] Wifi hotspot doesn't turn off when closing it - battery drains [released]
So, hotspot doesn't turn off when closing it - battery drains faster. Happened with Ohijärvi, and still on Paarlampi. Reboot stops that, but I don't want to lose my uptime. :D
Anyone else having this?
What exactly are you closing and what does not turn off?
When using the Tethering app: When closing this app, the mobile data network connection is disconnected (what I rather regard as wrong: to end tethering the pull down menu entry should be used, but different people may see this different).
When using |- Settings | System | Internet sharing -|: When switching off internet sharing, the mobile data network connection icon (as well as WiFi icon) on the settings short-cut screen remain lit, however app IP address does not state an IP address for the mobile connection (only for WiFi), i.e. it remains unclear, whether this connection is in idle state (i.e. switched on only to be activated when out of WiFi reach) or whether it is still connected (and the IP address hidden from the user).
