Re: Easy iPhone tethering for AT&T users
And to note: my bill did not jump from a few minutes of tethered use. |

I have a strange feeling that having hacked the carrier settings is what's causing my phone not to get reception here in London on either T-Mobile or Orange. Worked for a split second at the airport but never again. It sucks because I hav. A few offline maps that I can't use location services on because they rely on part on wifi or cell signals to get an initial fix. Others in my group have nonhacked iPhones and their's work fine.

Successfully enabled tethering on my Jailbroken 3.0 3G! I haven't tried it out yet but everything else on the phone is functioning normally, ex camera, visual voicemail etc.
I too am kind of concerned about billing. Thank you Matt for letting us know there were no unusual charges... I hope it stays this way when tethering is officially released.

said by tommy3rd  :anyone get their bill yet? i don't want to get nailed with a huge bill, so i gotta make sure there's no extra charge. I just got mine a week or so ago. I probably only used 1-2MB of tethering, but there were no extra charges. |

I used the benm.at carrier update and MMS is working great. Have sent and received from people on AT&T and Verizon with no issues.
However.. the tethering option appears in my settings menu. When I enable it and connect to my PC it works for about 3 minutes then the connection drops and the tethering option disappears from the settings menu. If I re-load the carrier file from benm.at it comes back, but just disappears after a few minutes again.. anyone else experiencing this?

I did the tethering hack and now my battery meter seems to stick at 100% sometimes. I'll charge it at night and it will be fine the next morning but stay at 100%. After a few hours I'll reboot the phone and it will drop to something like 89% and start working normal from that point on.
Anyone else see this?

I tried this out and it worked great. This is so much easier then the way had to do it under 1.x and 2.x. I put up a tutorial for both USB and Bluetooth for Mac users.

said by Midak :Ok, this is really frustrating. I can now get it to work on two PC's but still not on the iMac. The second PC only worked once I installed iTunes 8.2, which I do have on the iMac. I am leaving in an hour and really want to get this working. Does anyone know how to force the iMac to search for this network connection or install a driver? Anyone?  See other thread. Doesn't work on Tiger.

You have to power cycle the phone after uploading the IPCC file. |

said by Matt :said by ptrowski :Hmm, I updated the IPCC, rebooted etc. Got the updated info from the help site and can add a picture to a MMS and it goes 4/5 of the way to send and then gets an error. Any thoughts? MMS doesn't work yet. I get the same thing. Thanks Matt. Interestingly enough it doesn't even show up now. I tried uploading the IPCC but the camera isn't even there. Oh well, tethering worked!

I just tried this and, in fact, am posting this from my MBP connected through bluetooth to the iPhone which is tethering away. I had to pair the MBP with the iPhone; at the conclusion of that process, it said it was creating the net "Personal Area Network" which shows up in my list of networks.
I was unable to connect to the phone as long as my BT mouse was on, however. Once I turned that off, it worked great. I just turned the mouse on again and both appear to be working. Yay! 
Still no luck with the MMS thing, however. |

So maybe a driver issue? Anyone to fix this on the iMac without losing all of my itunes settings, playlists, etc? I really want to bring the iMac instead of the Dell laptop with me on this trip since everything I currently use is on my iMac and the laptop just doesnt cut it anymore. Is there a way to force the iMac to look for new hardware and specify the iPhone ethernet adaptor?  |

said by Midak :8.2 is installed on the iMac (not working) and on the PC (XP) that is working. The other two do not have iTunes. I thought you only needed iTunes to get tethering unlocked on the phone? That is odd. I know if you plug an iPhone into Windows without iTunes installed, the correct drivers aren't installed. I'm not sure if Vista and Windows 7 come with the correct drivers, I just ASSumed that since the iPhone in tethering mode was automatically picked up and installed as a "Apple Mobile Device Ethernet" -- and the driver was provided by Apple on 4/30/2009 (netappl64.sys), that iTunes installed it. |
