Sk17i Battery Drain & Tethering
Moonspun*love
02-12-2013
I recently signed up to the One Plan from Three and have been playing around with tethering on my SK17i (Xperia Mini Pro).

Download speeds seem pretty good, but the phone starts to warm up pretty quickly (within about 20 minutes), starts to rapidly lose it's power, and won't charge until it's cooled down.

I've looked online and found multiple examples of phones experiencing similar problems. Are there any phones out there that handle tethering better? Could it be because my SK17i is just not up to the job?

Looking at some of the latest handsets out there, the Nexus 5 for example, it seems like the specifications have advanced quite a lot compared to mine.

I find a second-hand Galaxy S2 to be good for tethering - not the best speed but manages to tether for at least 8 hours on battery!
