Thanks, I saw this when I downloaded it, and I thought the same thing, that it probably meant https. I tried though and can still access https sites. I just want an app so I can have 3G on my kindle fire which doesn't get used much. I'm concerned with Verizon finding out and cutting my unlimited plan. Is it likely they can find out?

I think every carrier has the option to do it. They certainly see it. I've heard that TetherMe in stealth mode somehow alters the packets in or out. When I use PDANet, I make it force "mobile browsing" so all my websites are as if I'm browsing them on my Phone.

I'm not using it much - kind of testing the water before I jump in. I imagine my carrier will warn me first, or just slap the tethering charge on there, but I will say that my carrier offers unlimited data, so the worst thing I have to do is pay for a few days/weeks worth of Tethering addon, I still have unlimited data.

Thanks for the information. I may try TetherMe. I just plan on using it once or twice a month with my Kindle Fire that barely gets used. And don't worry, Verizon used to have "unlimited" data too..it's only a matter of time till Sprint joins on. I'm just glad I'm grandfathered in as I use way more than 2 GB a month on my iPhone!

Not sure what you're scared of, it's an easy process and only takes a few minutes. If you are not happy with it, you can do a restore on iTunes and it's over with.

This can be done without an additional tweak. You have to initiate it thru your photo album instead of Mail. (Share icon on upper right>select multiple photos>Share>Email)

Thanks for the tip! Didn't know that. I like it. Now I can do it from either the photo reel OR from within an email. Would love to see it added to email as well out of the box, but this is definitely convenient for when I am already inside my photo reel anyway (which is often the case when I am wanting to email pics).
 
What's the best tweak for 3G FaceTime? I went to facebreak but it says my iOS doesn't support it.

i don't see a problem asking, but you will get 9 out of 10 people telling you to search because this has been discussed before. If you ask me, this is a forum, so who cares what someone asks, thats why we have the forum.

Cascade is nice to use if you have 5+ icons on the dock. Tilts them inwards to the centre app

My3G was buggy for me when I tried it several months ago. Never had any issues w/ 3GU. Works flawlessly with iCloud, Youtube and Face Time.

In what way was My3G buggy for you? I've purchased both at separate times so no bias one way or the other, just curious. Right now I have 3G Unrestrictor 5 installed, but MY3G works fine for me too.

I bought both a few months apart figuring if one doesn't work the other would. Never had the need to use one over the other.

First-time jailbreaker, and here are some Cydia apps I'm really enjoying so far:

  • Zephyr
  • Springtomize 2
  • NoAccSplash - removes the "Accessory Connected" so I can still control my iPhone music when its plugged into my car
  • AppBackup - backs up all your app/game data in case you need to restore
  • Bars - slightly more accurate reception indicator
  • biteSMS - quick replies, contact photos in message lists, I just like it a lot
  • Blackout - When I use Zephyr, the status bar switches between gray and black. This keeps the status bar black at all times
  • Bytafont - change the fonts!
  • Curiosa - background updates for Cydia packages
  • FolderCloser - auto-close folders after I launch an app
  • IconRotator - icons rotate depending on orientation of phone
  • MultiIconMover
  • NCSettings - cleaner than SBSettings, even if a few less options
  • PandoraSkips
  • Quicknote for Notification Center
  • QuickSiri - quickens Siri slightly
  • SpringFlash - double-click the sleep button for a flashlight (can customize)
  • StayOpened - downloading apps from AppStore doesn't send you back to home screen
  • SwipeShiftCaret - like swipe selection, but you swipe in text field. SwipeSelection inhibits my ability to hold the Symbols button and slide to the symbol I want to input, so I use this instead

Very helpful. Thank you.

Switchy. Expands the task switcher to include two rows of icons. This alongside with Zephyr to swipe up to open task switcher, makes multitasking easier.

EDIT: Pandora skips is great that it allows unlimited skipping but those annoying 15 sec ads still pop up. I may upgrade to Pandora One for $3 month to get rid of them. Just wanna make sure the tweak would still work for unlimited skipping. I'm guessing it would. Would be nice to have ad free and unlimited skipping Pandora.

Not that I'm condoning it but you can get a hacked version of Pandora with unlimited skips. I had Pandora One and the [mostly] ad free experience and higher quality music was nice, but there still weren't unlimited skips. I have Pandora One but have been considering migrating over to Slacker Radio Premium, which allows you to favorite songs and play them whenever you want on the fly. You can make playlists and it will only play the songs you've selected, whereas Pandora it just plays random things. Although I kind of like Pandora's random selection a bit more. They both have their pros and cons. There's also Raditaz which is free and has unlimited skips but it's a little wonky.
