					<description><![CDATA[There is one other thing I meant to mention earlier. I don&#039;t trust the elastic cord used to connect the Somewear hotspot to a pack. I usually carry it in the top pocket on my pack. But, if I attach it to the outside I also connect a small carabiner to it. There have been times when the hotspot is only hanging by the carabiner at the end of the day. 

I believe I read a review someplace that said the first thing you should do when you receive this device is to cut that elastic connecter off because it&#039;s not reliable and you could end up losing the thing. I didn&#039;t cut it off but I rely on the carabiner to keep it with me.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://packandtrail.com/blog/somewear-labs-global-hotspot/#comment-3033&quot;&gt;Ross Collicutt&lt;/a&gt;.

I sent an email to Somewear about a week ago. Still waiting for a response. If I check the device while it&#039;s paired with my phone it often shows that it&#039;s &quot;sleeping&quot;. I assume that is designed to save battery life.

If the battery is failing I&#039;ll be reviewing all the available devices again. This one has really worked well for me. I&#039;ll keep an eye on the maximum amount it charges to see If it starts dropping from the 92% level. That will be my trigger to start a search.]]></description>

Thanks Kevin. Good feedback. Is there a way to reduce the amount it talks to the phone too save battery? Have you got in touch with Somewear to see if there&#039;s a way to reset it?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mine is 2 years old. Maximum amount battery will charge is 92%. I&#039;ve had it on for 12 hours straight and it is now at 79% so it has gone down about 1 percent per hour. Tracking function is not enabled. At this rate there is no way the battery will last 1o days. More like 4 days. That&#039;s ok for me and the trips I need it on. My concern is the maximum charge capacity may be decreasing so those 4 days may turn into 3 and then to 2, etc.]]></description>
