G1X and EyeFi direct transfer

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem. I am using my G1X with EyeFi and direct transfer mode (where it starts an AdHoc Wifi network) to transfer to my iPad (shuttersnitch) of Seagate GoFlex Satellite (hacked with EyeFi server).

What I see is that as I shoot, it appears the G1X cuts power or something so the EyeFi network dies and thus connection to recieving devices is lost. It then doesnt uplaod the photos.

As soon as I stick it in review/play mode, the photos magically start uploading to the device again.

This worked fine with my G11 but that didnt have integrated EyeFi support, which I feel is probably the problem here.
