HeadphoneAddict Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Tethering can be done now without jail breaking or switching to a tethered plan, using html5 app and ad-hoc connection to your computer. $30/yr http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=/watch?v=8GkbAiRMf40&feature=player_embedded&feature=player_embedded&v=8GkbAiRMf40&gl=US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 why does that app have an annual fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 why does that app have an annual fee? Your basically paying them a subscription fee, but only $30/yr instead of an extra $20/mo to AT&T to tether. Plus, people with an unlimited plan can tether without giving it up. Many places charge a subscription fee to use their service, although many of those offer a free service and charge for upgrades (I.e. Dropbox, Onlive, WSJ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebby Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I find it interesting that tether.com promotes "one-time fee" as a feature, but tether.com/iphone lists a yearly fee of $30. A subscription fee doesn't seem right for a program that doesn't interface with a service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 if they can do it, someone else will too, likely without a fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 if they can do it, someone else will too, likely without a fee I look forward to that. But basically it has you set up an ad-hoc network between iPhone and computer, and you run a web-app on the iPhone and a normal app on the computer, which allows the computer to access the web through the phone. It's nice that they let you save the web-app to your iPhone springboard, so you have a shortcut to the app without having to visit tether.com every time you use it. I have no idea whether it can hide the tethering data from ATT so that you don't get caught, nor do I know if it can use the iPad 3G connection for tethering, which MyWi and PDAnet do with jailbroken devices. Until I know more about this and hear from others about the service, I'm keeping my VZW MiFi2200 hotspot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonShine Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 My daughter dropped her 3G that I jailbroke and gave her a while back. The headphone jack, power button, and volume buttons are all not functioning. Probably a bad idea but I'm gonna try and open it tonight to see what I can do.

spritzer Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I've been poking around in my old 3GS and I bet one of the connectors just popped loose. Gentle push and it should work just fine. Be extra careful with the antenna connectors since they break very easily (small round coax units) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonShine Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Didn't get to it the other night (taxes) and I was on the road in Southern Oregon yesterday so hopefully tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessingx Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I think some apps like RSS readers for example can climb quite high. I believe I've seen them go three digits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 are you using the same account on both? iMessage is really flakey so far. I uninstalled it on my mac because it was delaying my receiving messages on my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kunwar Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Have a question in regards to the touch/iphone line. i noticed on innerfidelity that with an Ipad, one can plug in the camera connector dongle and the USB out allows a digital signal to be sent to the Headamp Pico. Has anyone tried something similar with an ipod touch or iphone and gotten it to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Yep and nope. Have to go more expensive routes for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
