Tethering

[Fear345]

So whats the script with tethering ? I'm on a o2 pay as you go sim at the moment it comes with a years free net but am i correct in saying to get tethering i must pay extra or is there away around it without using the sim in a usb dongle ?

If you've jailbroken your phone then just follow this guide

Otherwise, yep I think you're going to have to pay, unless you're on firmware 3.0 in which case I still believe the old provider hack at help.benm.at works.

I now have the option for tethering as i ran blacksn0w last night i was just wandering if i really needed to pay the extra for tethering or is there another option.

Have a look at sinfuliphone.com and look for mywi .it uses your phone as
a wireless router hope that may be of use to you

or you could use PDAnet

Install Instructions:
- Remove any existing versions of PdaNet
- Reboot
- Install from deb file above
- Reboot

I just tried it and it works, my 3GS is a wifi router aswell, gives you the choice to use cable aswell if you install the client to your pc

pdanet sucks cos you have to create the wifi network on the laptop or whatever you are connecting to. No good if it's a game/pda/whatever

mywi is much better

If you want simple Laptop Tethering its free with the above download, mywi is a tenner with no working free download

[mrgee]

free trial there http://www.rockyourphone.com/index.php/mywi.html?feat=y
does what it says..... pdanet

I tried pdanet and it fucked up my iphone after rebooting I got the apple logo with the spinning wheel in a constant loop and had to do a restore I'll give mywi a go.

mywi does work really well. just like it should. It is $10 (not £10) but well worth it imho

If you are going to use it regularly than pay for it, but I have no need for tethering as I have two 3G dongles, I just wanted to see if the free option worked, which it does. I was just trying to give skinflints like myself a free option. Pdanet tethers perfectly on my 3GS

[maltloaf]

it's not really a free option. it's just cracked. There are similarly cracked miwi installs about too (don't ask!) and given the choice, miwi gets my vote by a mile.

Cracked=free in my book, ive done a bit of searching and there no longer is a free/cracked working miwi as they have sorted the bypass in the licensing, thats why I posted a free/cracked option.
Im sure miwi is better but a lot of people just dont want to pay otherwise there would be no need for Appulous or the 'iPhone/ Touch App Store' section on this forum

[maltloaf]

well that's an entirely different discussion. There is a 'free' working myfi about. Personally, I paid for it.

[Fear345]

I tried the cracked mywi version it wouldn't work at all it would run but after installing and it wanting to reboot it just wouldn't reboot the phone so I uninstall it, So i bought it but after installing and connecting to my laptop i just cant get on the net with it everything seems to be working but just no web pages plus it just wont stop tethering so I had to uninstall it again

[maltloaf]

To fix that go to the wifi settings, select your hotspot then hit renew lease

After installing it again and a few reboots i can stop it broadcasting constantly but I still cant get it to show and web pages even after a renew lease it gives a ip and a subnet mask but that's it.

i must be missing something but does the commcentre hack and http://help.benm.at/ settings not work?

why the need to d/l a separate app?

I'm online right now using those settings (3GS running 3.01). Works a treat here on a ship in the middle of nowhere! I'm just keeping an eye on the data counter so O2 don't go daft about 'fair usage'

[Zippeyrude]

yes im using the http://help.benm.at/ settings on 3.0.1 3g.
Im curious as to why the apps are recommeded above.

Does the http://help.benm.at/ and commcentre not work on the 3.1.2 3g?
