My hypothesis is that the phone turns off the hotspot due to some interface issues, like maybe the older computer doesn't send the right "ping" signals to keep it going.
Anyway, something interesting (stupid?) is happening, that I've got to figure out. It keeps me on the spectrum!

Brief update, since the spammers brought this thread back to life (in a Frankenstein sense of the term):
The problem was mitigated after I downloaded a slew of updates to the new phone. Then, in a more-or-less unrelated incident, I dropped the phone from the height of a Harbor Fraught workmate knock-off onto a concrete floor. Despite the fact the phone had a rubber case around it, and a leather holster style case around that, it suddenly stopped working. So Shelly took the SIM card out and put it in my old phone. No evident problems with logging off while composing, now (knock wood!)
From my point of view, I should have a fixed hotspot and not a phone. But then I couldn't call Shelly to tell her my phone is broken. That's why I need some Army field wire strung between our cabin and garage, and a couple of field phones...
