After testing this for a few days now and each time the WIFI connection times out, I did some basic trouble shooting.

1. Ping test to router (iPhone LAN IP), from Laptop
Pings timeout at almost exactly 60 seconds (62 - 65 pings) after WiFi Tethering is turned on.

2. When I check the MyWi settings (Opened app) the Wifi Tethering is set to OFF, even though I still have tethering blue glow on menu bar above.

3. When I turn ON WiFi Tethering again (Even though according to blue pulsing bar it should be on) My Ping test resumes to iPhone IP.

4. If you leave the MyFi application open while tethering, you still loose routing, but the tethering switch doesnt turn off, unless you close app, and re-open.

5. Seems after about 1 minute, the MyFi.app no longer routes traffic and its hotspot is also no longer visable. MyFi also thinks tethering was turned off when re-opening application. Also note that I did not want USB and Bluetooth tethering on, but it turned on when I enable Wifi, and Im unable to turn it off until the wifi stops, then all thats left is USB/Bluetooth.

ScreentShot of Tethering Blue Pulse flasing, and MyFi says tethering is off.


Looks like USB Tethering works GREAT in my limited tests. Only the WiFi Tethering stops responding after 60 seconds. Maybe its the iPhone re-scanning for wireless interval or something???

USB Tethering BUGS:
1. Title of Blue Tethering Pulse Menu, says Edge Internet Tethering (I have 3G), and seems it should say USB Tethering.
2. Blue Tethering Pulse Menu - The data rate (Download/Uploads) are not growing as I use the connection
3. Blue Tethering Pulse Menu - The data rate (Download/Uploads) ON LOCK SCREEN do grow!

Ok - the disconnect should be fixed (although not sure on the data rate)?

Works like a charm... Very nice work!
Would be nice to hook both WiFi and USB/BT tethering to an SBSettings Toggle. Whatcha think bout that!

I'm still experiencing the issue where the up/down counters within the app don't increase past 1mb, but revert back to 0.00mb once either of them has passed 1024kb. The counters in the lockscreen tether bar do increase as expected though. Figured I should let you know.


Otherwise, every thing is working very well, it's actually faster for me to usb tether than use the 'broadband' internet at my house.

The update seemed to fix the issues

[psuskeels]

Diablo: Is it consistent? (Can you respring and have it happen 10 x in a row?) If so - we can fix it together..

Finally! Someone else with this problem. If I lock the phone I get this and if I leave it unlocked then it works for about 2 minutes & then it just stops working, same as the 1 minute disconnect that was mentioned with earlier versions. I'm on the latest version and it still doesn't work right. I'm ashamed that I bought this before I tried it more thoroughly.

[psuskeels]

Please see version 0.96 - fixed

psuskeels: Yes, it is consistent. Every time I tether, the counters stop counting once they get to 1mb unless the phone is locked. Even after a full restore and rejailbreak with redsn0w, instead of custom firmware with Pwnage Tool, the issue remains. Also, I mentioned this in another thread: my cell data settings still seem to be affected when I enable tethering, even after restore and rejailbreak. Sorry for the late response

[Geniusdog254]

Psuskeels, awesome work. 0.96 fixes all my issues & works marvelously. A very worthwhile purchase!

Hi All,

Same for me.

After installing it did work for 60sec. Uninstalled, reset, installed, still stopped after 60secs.

What can be a solution, anybody, thanks in advance, Remco

PS latest version, 0.96 latest
