DROID BIONIC - voice data and Mobile Hotspot Testing
Thought a few of you out there might be interested to know I did further testing today with the sample Verizon DROID BIONIC 4G LTE mobile. I connected it via 4G (here in Provo, Utah), initiated the hotspot, and did a wireless connection to a Apple MacBook Pro laptop for 50 minutes simultaneously making a phone call via GoToTraining joining a conference call.
Pros:
1. Never disconnected
2. No weird Voice over IP sounds
3. I was able to use the data connect and voice at the same time via 4G for 50 straight minutes
4. It has been almost two hours and the "Mobile Hotspot" feature has not failed, quit, or locked up - great work Verizon and Motorola!
Cons:
1. The phone battery was really, really taxed! The batter was at 30% when I started, and after 50 minutes, the batter was still only at 30% being plugged to an AC adapter in the entire time.
2. The phone became very hot (although, so does a Mi-Fi or most new phones after a long thirty-minute plus telephone call). In addition, the Android OS wigged out for a while, almost as if it was having memory trouble. I ended the phone call, but still kept open the "Mobile Hotspot". After closing the phone App and ending the conference call the wigging out and the random screens malfunctioning stopped.
