I would occasionally like to sync my PW, using my Android phone in hotspot mode. This works occasionally, but only on rare occasions. Usually, the PW attempts to connect, then gives up after a few seconds. If I have the "manage devices" option turned on in the phone settings, the PaperWhite shows up while it is trying to connect. I suspect the connection attempt is timing out. Does anyone know of a work-around, such as a way to set a longer timeout on the Kindle?
