That'll learn 'em to charge us $30 USD for something previously free without warning us first.
And yes as a precaution I uninstalled 1.40 from Cydia first before I manually installed 1.33.

Lol no problem

And yes, to everyone: UNINSTALL 1.40 FIRST BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE WITH THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS.

Also, why using MobileTerminal rather than the Terminal window from your Mac (after SSH to it)? MobileTerminal is a bit awkward to type in

EDIT: BTW, I just tried PDAnet v. 1.40 and it works, I didn't get the 'expired trial' thing. Anybody knows why?

It's a timed trial, you must not have used it long enough yet.

I guess it's usage time, rather than install time. I must have upgraded right away (I check Cydia daily), but I do use it rarely. Where I live, there's wifi access almost everywhere

One other thing, is there a way to stop Cydia bugging me to update to 1.40 or at least hide the update icon from Springboard?

I do have a different problem. After unpacking the .deb, PDAnet.app is in the Application folder, I just checked, but it does not show up on the SpringBoard! I rebooted and respring a couple of times, nada. Any suggestion?

EDIT: AppFlow sees it, but it can't launch it. Permissions seem fine. Weird. Any help?

EDIT2: So, I launched Cydia, and it immediately says I have an upgrade, obviously PdaNet. I quit Cydia without upgrading, and suddenly PdaNet appears on my SpringBoard and launches fine. I guess to get rid of the update badge on the Cydia icon one should modify the Info.plist file in PdaNet.app, changing the version number from 1.33 to 1.40.

[InSovietRussiaPhoneEyesU]

Well I just tried modifying the info.plist file and respringed (is that a word?) but Cydia still doesn't think its version 1.40. The version number that Cydia uses must be stored somewhere else.

as quoted from another forum:

yeah, thats such a ripoff on how they make you completely unaware of it when upgrading, and a complete ripoff for charging $30, AND having to buy it for every phone(aka, if you have to replace your iphone you have to buy it again)

I MIGHT of payed $10 for it, but seeing as to how shady they did this, they can go screw themselves. Ill gladly spend my money elsewhere.

[bruinsrme]

What bothers me the most is there is no mention of the $30 that I can find. Nothing on their website, nothing in the description of the 1.4 down load. seems really shady

No where in the app listing on Cydia did it state it was a trial app that would later require a fee to use it to it's full potential. At least with iPhone Modem it alerts you during use it's a trial and to stop the reminder to register you only pay $9.99. The only concern I have is if I have to replace my iPhone with a swap while within the 1 year warranty due to the developer ask for the IMEI to get the registration code. Though paying $9.99 for iPhone Modem is a lot cheaper than $29.00 to use PDANet.

Yup... uninstall 1.40 first before installing 1.33.

I did via terminal on my mac (SSH) - of course easier to type .

I hope they did not put a hidden expiration in 1.33....

[ScrewDrvr]

its now only $9.95

edit - read the wrong info, its still $29

[InSovietRussiaPhoneEyesU]

So has anyone got any other ideas on how to get rid of that update notification from Cydia? Its getting kind of annoying.

[deenybird]

i followed the directions for downgrading. Uninstalled, dropped the .deb into var/root/, performed the unpackage, but there's no app on the springboard....
I've tried restarting, and respringing through various programs, but only QuickGold (not even appflow) finds the pdanet app, i still can't get it on the springboard....
Any ideas guys? Thanks

BTW: one thing i thought of was that the app was in a 'category' when i uninstalled it through cydia... but that should be fine

Update: Seems it was 'poofed' as adding it to a category, and removing it fixed the problem

[mk750]

I have the same proble as deenybird... followed the directions but the icon won't appear in springboard. Only difference is un-poofing doesn't bring it back. Any suggestions? I have bosspref nad winterboard installed, but not categories, not quickgold, and not appflow.

EDIT: Fixed by uninstalling Bossprefs. Then reinstalled of course. Windows anyone?

I've had my fair share of problems with PDANet. At the beginning it worked like a charm. Drained the battery as hell, but still. Since 1.4 it has just hanged and restarted the phone after a few minutes. I thought it was this upgrade that f**ked it up so I downgraded to 1.33 and thought it would be OK again as it were before. But no.

I'm am so fed up with PDANet. I'm considering buying one of the other alternatives, but they aren't as easy. But maybe they'll work? /O:

...and yeah, hi everybody! (O:
