S3 USB connection lost on screen timeout

[jwnpgh]

I noticed that when connected to my PC with a USB cable, that any connection is lost when the phone screen times out.

I use PDANet and a generic data window (windows explorer). When the phone screen times out PDANet craps out and the windows explorer window of any drive on the phone closes.

Anyone else experience this? I looked for a setting, but couldn't find any.

thanks

Do you have 'USB debugging' checked under Settings -> Developer options? Do you have 'Disable debug mode' unchecked under Settings -> Security?

know its not a fix but why not just set time-out to 10mins and just tap the screen every so often

global s3, UK. Ask me anything and ill reply even if its just an intelligent (or stupid) guess

After experimenting with the S3 Settings, I have come to the same solution.
Leaving the phone Debugging enabled allows the phone to stay connected to the PC

I still had problems even with the Debugging allowed checked. The only fix I was able to find was to use the clockwork tether app. I am sure you can use EasyTether as well. I have had it running and surfing the web for over 2 hours and no time out. I am able to get into my folders and transfer back and forth with no time out issues. It may be a work around but it works and was quick and easy to do.
