MyWi Released! Turn your iPhone into a Wifi hotspot!

[skeels]

Monica - can you send me your syslog (simply connect using the rock your phone desktop client, right click and choose View iPhone System Log --- copy and paste the log after you've had a disconnect. It might have to do with rc1 purplera1n patches.

to be able to tether my old PDAs to the net at once. But am I missing something? When I use PdaNet, I use the USB cable. When I'm done, my iPhone's battery is fully charged. It was mentioned that MyWi is faster than PdaNet, has anybody noticed a big difference in speed between the two? One more question, is MyWi compatible on 2.2?

Ok, finally tried this now I'm at work. I can connect to the hotspot, but I have no Internet connection on my computer even though the phone has good 3g signal and says 'tethering 3g down 180kb' or something. I am using os x on a MacBook pro with a 3G S purplera1ned and can't get net access on my computer either wirelessly or with USB using this app. Any help appreciated.

Similar problem on my laptop running Windows Vista Ultimate. I jb'd with redsn0w.

Ok I'm officially giving up on this now. Getting fed up. Until an update is released, my money's staying in my pocket. And I still have to settle for browsing the web on my phone at work :-(

Same problem I am having.

If you don't get the blue tethering part on the status bar, then its not working correctly. While we are still narrowing this down - you might want to purple rain with the latest purple rain - and then uninstall and reinstall.

I get the blue status bar and I used redsn0w.

In Vista, the animated network diagram shows my laptop connected to an unknown ad hoc network and no connection to the Internet.

EDIT: I updated to the latest release of MyWi. Now I can connect for about a minute then nada.

i want to get it but dont want to waste my money til an update comes out

[n00neimp0rtant]

I'm getting pretty sick of developers releasing their rather useful apps on Rock Your Phone. I installed it the other day only to realize that half of their "3.0 compatible" apps really aren't. Yeah, half of their 10-or-so apps they have. Promptly uninstalled. I would definitely make use of this app if it weren't on Rock Your Phone.

Psuskeels, I can send you my log later on tonite (closer to midnight EST). Currently I'm not home. Anything I can do to help.

BTW, I had previously purplera1ned my phone a second time using RC2 prior to installing MyWi...

[jaxon1023]

I had the same problem today, jailbroke with redsnow. It would tether but would only last for a minute then the computer would ask for the others connect adhoc or something. hope it gets updated before my trial is up

[Smac06]

It is a little much, but it is a good idea.

Hey bootleg this is not related to MYwi, but I looked at your screenshot and I really like yhe theme you are using.
What theme is this? Is it in ICE?

Thanks

so any difference between this and the old NetShare App?



Netshare
The $9.99 application promises to allow you to share your iPhone's network connection with your computer.
Share your iPhone's EDGE or 3G Internet connection with your computer using NetShare. NetShare provides a SOCKS5 proxy for your computer to connect to.


I'm guessing this is just an easier set up & multiple devices as it broadcasts as wifi instead of direct one on once connect like netshare?

Does this require a tethering plan or will I be charged any extra if I already have the iPhone unlimited data plan?

[msgeek]

Hi everyone, I installed the app and was able to connect from my macbook very easily. But every single time, after about 1 minute, or 700 kb download. The connection would no longer download. Firefox on the mac just sits there, unable to get new data.
I rebooted, but same thing.

I am using an iPhone 3G on T-Mobile using Edge network.
There is no error message or anything on the iphone myfi but no more downloads. And to continue, all I have to do is stop the connection, but using the switch in myfi and restart it, for another minute of download, then it stops....

Any idea what's wrong?

[domenicp]

How is this better than tethering? Is it worth paying $9.99 for this when you can use tethering?
