Tethering Connectivity

[Kungfubhuda]

I recently rooted and began tethering on my Evo, and its been awesome. I am having some connectivity issues though (using Wireless Tether). The laptop (Windows 7) I'm using frequently disconnects and can't reconnect until I restart the tether. Does anyone else have that issue? Any solutions?

Also, now that I'm rooted, does anyone have any other suggestions of things I should try?

In an unrelated annoyance, whenever I call a 1-800 number that requires you to "press a number for your selection", the Evo instead dials that number. For example, if I press 1 for English, my phone dials the number 1 in a separate call. Its driving me crazy. Any solutions to this?

For the second issue, I don't have that problem...

Are you hitting the button on the lower left to bring up the dial pad on your current call?

Yeah, I'm bringing up the dial pad with the button on the lower left. Is there another way?

What version of the wireless tether app are you using? Did you just download the one from the market? If so, uninstall it and try this version:

I'm having a hardware issue with mine, I used to get 85%-100 with the 3feet from my ps3, now i only get 27%-45%. It starts out 100%, then just drops to 45%-27%. I can't get any bettter signal, i have to keep my Evo on my window to get 2bars 4g. My house is complete brick and dont 4g inside. If i put my Evo just on 3g right next to my ps3, it says it only 80% signal, rift next to the system. I already did a full factory reset and still have this issue. I'm taking it to sprint friday

Yeah, I'm currently running that version of Wireless Tether. The older version wouldn't even work at all.
