I wonder if Apple would have given them the Exclusive agreement if they had known AT&T would be so slow to keep up with MMS and Tethering.

I don't think they would have.

Did it work for you before on 3.0/3.0.1?

My 3GS runs hot if I use it continuously.. I think it's with all iPhones. It is doubtful it would break your phone unless your skin is burned on touch and you drop it. :p
 
Nice to know I can tether natively, and use it on bluetooth or usb. Thanks for sharing. I have a different way to tether 3.1.2 on my 3GS using WiFi.

1. Add source (http://iphone.org.hk/apt/) to Cydia
2. Download PdaNet v1.33 - This version dose not expire
3. Create peer-to-peer (ad-hoc) network for WiFi on Laptop or Desktop
4. On iPhone go to Settings ->WiFi -> and connect to the network you made
5. Open PdaNet and your done

Man that sounds like way too much work. I just have to plug in my phone, go to settings, flip on tethering and BAM! its there.

Thanks again for the tethering help, it works flawlessly. Is there any chance that this might be fixed in the future like with new updates?
 
thanks - works like a charm... but in my case, only with USB... for some reason, bluetooth tethering does not work. Everything is on on my iphone (bluetooth, and tethering) and i paired my mac laptop ok with the iphone. I can connect to the iphone (from the bluetooth icon in the taskbar on the mac), which makes the tethering bar show up on the iphone... but I see no data going through, and I cannot open any internet page. When I open my network preferences panel, it shows that I'm not connected :-(
thoughts?

Get SSH toggle either for your springboard or sbsettings so you can make sure it's on. You may have to reboot.

Then, if you have SBSettings, you can look at it to see the IP address of your phone. Otherwise you go to Settings>General>Network and look for your Wifi Connection to check your IP address.

If you want command line access you have to either use Terminal if you're on a mac or use Putty to log into the phone. Once done you should change the password.
Code: 
passwd
will change the users password. You'll want to change the password for both mobile and root users.

If you don't know how to follow this tell me exactly what you are trying to do and I'll give you step by steps.

ok thanks for the help, I have sbs settings and ssh is on, but when i try to connect in Transmit it just times out. I can connect through terminal, but I don't know how to how to delete the mywi.app in terminal, thats why I was using transmit.

might help some :)
 
When tethering was available via the carrier file you need to run iTunes.

With the MyWi 'hack' do you need to run iTunes? and if so what version?

Did bluetooth work for you?

I have had no issues with USB tethering either.

I can apparently connect to the phone via Bluetooth or USB however, under either circumstance in System Preferences>Network, it says: Ethernet Adaptor (Bluetooth Adaptor) has a self assigned IP and cannot connect to the Internet.

any ideas?


Ok...so I figured it out. I had PDAnet turned on. Once I turned that off, BAM! worked perfectly!
 
Thanks to a post over at arstechnica's mac forum, I've discovered that I don't receive voicemail notifications while using the benm profile. Once i remove it notifications come through.

So for me it's - tethering works and no voicemail notifications OR no tethering but have voicemail notifications.

Hope pdanet will have a snow leopard desktop client sooner than later.

You should really try what the OP said. You download RockApp, install MyWi, run MyWi, restart phone, look in settings to see the option to tether is there in network settings, SSH into your phone and delete the MyWi app and Rockapp files manually, then restart your phone and the options should still be there. Everything works fine for me, i still get VVM, MMS, SMS, E-mail, Phone calls nothing has stopped working. PdANet is a real PITA imo. With this method, you literally plug in your phone go to settings and turn tethering on and BAM your done.

Yup, I couldn't have said it any better. This method is a no fail way to get tethering. Everything should be working. If it isn't, you likely misread or skipped a step, so try redoing it.

It doesn't require it, but it doesn't hurt either. The Benm hack isn't anything to even worry about, and it takes less than a minute to install. I have it just because I had it on 3.0 before I upgraded to 3.1.2 and it remained on the phone.

I just didn't want it to mess up Visual Voicemail.

Thanks for the tip in your first post, I did it and it works perfectly (w/o BenM installed). I rarely use tethering (and it's nice that it's got that counter for how much data you've uploaded and downloaded), so doubt I'd ever get caught. But it's very nice to have in a pinch.

Thanks again!

No problem. Funny thing is I have no such counter as I've seen on many iPhones. I wonder if it has to do with the BenM settings or not. I only have a Cellular Network Data area that only has Sent and Received, but those are all time numbers, or is that what you're referring to? I have no specific Tethering Data on my phone.
 
ahh right. my post should be in the other thread that mentions the benm profle and tethering.. sorry for the confusion.

I'll give this method a go.

thanks,
