WiFi Tethering on 3Gs

Hi All
I am new to this so sorry if this topic is a repeat...
Anyone know if the 3Gs with v4.2 is able to do wifi tethering? i.e. your iPhone will act as a wireless router so you can have/add other wifi devices to the iPhone to access the internet?
I hear there is an App called MyWi that will enable this however the iPhone has to be jailbroken which I dont want to do.
Any reply would be grateful - thanks

Thanks for your replies guys - much appreciated!
I hope our friend Steve Jobs can implement this in the next update - if any! as Android v2.2 have released this feature which is a great feature!
Cheers

  • Where is the Lumia 800 wifi tethering?

    Hello
    About two months ago, there was a lot of buzz on the net about "lumia 800 gets wifi tethering in the next update"
    Well... Am I missing something important on my phone or is the wifi tethering still not there?  I could use it, especially since Joikuspot is not available for this phone.
    Thanks

    I keep asking the same question and never get an answer from Nokia, I cannot believe they do not know this. I purchased this phone after being told it was already available by the salesman. I purchased this on a higher contract so that I could get rid of my mobile dongle. I am now paying for both each month. This has really put me off Nokia, jut wish I was wasn't stuck with it for an 18 month contract.

  • I plan to buy an HTC wildfire, will the wifi tethering connect my ipad2 to internet

    I have an iPad 2 wifi version only, I plan to buy an HTC wildfire phone will the wifi tethering connect my iPad to Internet?

    If your carrier supports a the mobile hotspot feature on the phone, it should work fine. I've used both an HTC Incredible and and HTC Thunderbolt with my iPad.

  • Can iPhone 4 operate on WiFi and be a WiFi Tethered Point at the same time?

    I hope this has not been discussed before and don't know why someone would want to do it other than to check your tethered setup is working. Just looking for a technical answer.
    I used my iPhone 4 on my local WiFi network and set it to create it's own WiFi tethered data access point with different password encryption. I was then able to log into it with a Windows laptop using the iPhone's WiFi. When I downloaded something from the Internet, the 3G usage did not increase, only the tethered usage increased.
    I was told that as soon as tethered data is used, it will use the 3G connection. The counters do not indicate this is happening. There was no change in the 3G counter even after refreshing it, but the tethered counter increased as anticipated.
    Is this operation possible? 

    You seem to understand it. I believe that when you tether, you have a separate allowance (I believe mostly it is 2GB) aside from your normal data balance. When you tether, it automatically uses the 3G to tether, not the wifi and the data will be subtracted from your tethering allotment. When you use data on your phone, it is subtracted from your normal data allowance (the pool not reserved for tethering) but only when using 3G. If you are on wifi on your PHONE (not tethering) it won't subtract. Hope that sort of makes sense.

  • Wifi Tethering for Symbian^3

    Hi, 
    Just wondering if the new Symbian^3 OS supports Wifi tethering like the new smartphones now that already do (Android, Windows Phone 7)
    I am a loyal fan of Nokia, and would love to continue my next nokia with the new OS on devices such as the N8 or E7, could anyone verify this for me, so i could make a decision asap. thanks!

    Joikuspot has already released wifi teethering for the N8, BUT DON'T GET IT YET.
    I installed joikuspot a week ago, and it makes your wlan (on the N8) almost unusable even if joikuspot is not started, it wont connect automatically to wlan anymore forcing you to use 3G, uninstalling joikuspot did not help either.
    I did a "reset to factory" on my N8 and now the phone is completely unusable, looks like I now have some old beta version of symbian^3, completely different UI and ovi store does not work anymore, it's also slow and choppy, which it was not before the "factory reset"

  • Wifi Tethering - Connect to wifi from Phone

    Hi
    I have a Nokia Phone that supports Wifi Hot Spot. In india only the wifi version of the Tablet S is available - I bought it assuming that that a basic feature like Connecting to a Wifi Hot spot from a Phone would be available on the Tablet.
    However the Tablet is not recognizing the Wifi from the Phone - I tried different softwares' both free and paid... No use...
    Why is this not supported? It will be really useful - I was planning to switch to Xperia S - OR the (yet un announced) Sony Xperia dual Core but if this kind of feature is not available then its no use moving to a faster phone....
    Can Moderators explain why this feature was left out?
    Thanks

    Hi Dave
    Did you get Wifi Tethering to work from you Mobile Phone to your Sony Tablet S? if yes can you tell me what you did exactly? Also which phone do you have? I have searched online for a long time - Not many people have gotten it to work. Mostly the people who got it worked had Either managed to Boot the Tablet S in recovery mode OR had managed to ROOT their Phones.
    I tried creating a Wifi Hotspot from Nokia N9, Nokia N900, Nokia C7, Nokia N8, Samsung Galaxy S - None worked.... Windows Phone 7 does not yet support creating Hotspots.... Didnt want to try iDevices....
    And don't tell me about Sony products - I got enough Sony Products do have the right to complain.....
    Let me give u some examples -
    1. Sony Camcorders used their own Tape format. The other vendors used a Tape format directly compatible with the VCR players of that time.
    2. Sony Cameras used Memory Sticks not SD Cards like everyone else. So you couldn't view your photos on other peoples Camera's and also 60-70% of laptops didn't have Memory Stick Readers.
    3. PSP-Vita uses a NEW form of Memory Stick - so if u had sony products before and had old Memory Sticks then they go to the trash bin!
    4. UMD for PSP
    5. ATRAC for Music Players and the Most Horrid Software of all times - Sonic Stage. I have an old Sony Walkman that I cant use anymore because I don't have Sonic Stage. I can get it BUT the current version expects me to FORMAT and LOSE all my music if I want to load any new songs.
    My point is - this kind of proprietary format doesn't work. Companies need to be more open so invite consumers who might switch brands....
    In case you haven't noticed Sony has moved away from this proprietary format for a lot of product lines... but now they are jumping back into it with the PSP-Vita and Tablet devices....
    Thanks

  • New MBP internet tethering to 3GS iphone via usb - not bluethooth?

  • Kernel panic during iPhone WiFi Tethering

    Hello, i have had my mid-2011 iMac for just about a month now and have had no issues with it until today. I tried to use my iPhone 4S to connect the iMac via wifi personal hotspot and every single time I experience a kernel panic after a few minutes time.
    This does not happen with hopspot over USB or blutooth
    I have successfully used the personal hotspot via wifi countless times on my 2010 macbook air also with Lion 10.7.2
    If anyone has any tips please let me know! I would like to get this working as USB tethering is slow compared to wifi - and don't get me started on bluetooth!
    Thanks
    P.S.... called apple support who told me to try the same thing in safe mode and see if that helps but I could not use wifi on it as it said "no hardware installed" under the wifi menu.

  • No wifi on Iphone 3GS after falling into water.

    It fell into water but everything else is working. It is a 3gs. is there a specific way to turn wifi on. I tried to reset network settings but it hasnt helped.

    Is Wi-Fi turned on in Settings > Wi-Fi?
    If it is greyed out... there is realistically nothing that can be done as you have a hardware failure.  This can happen when dropping electronic devices into liquid.  It's not "fine".

    Thanks Chris for your solution.
    But just for you know that I bought Apple to get the 'after service', they should've warn the users not to upgrade to a higher OS if it can caused the phone 'dead'. Mine was totally unusable when it's just been upgraded. It stayed in the recovery mode and couldn't be restored. So I brought it to the nearest store and they did that to me, and eventually the phone is working, only it cannot detect my SIM Card...
    The problem is not about upgrading an iPhone to a newer version of iOS.  Your problem was upgrading a hacked phone, one of the well known consequences of which is re-locking and/or bricking the entire device when restoring in iTunes.  You chose to hack your phones firmware and operating system, so you must accept the consequences of going outside the bounds of normal use that Apple prescribes and supports.
    Had you not hacked it in the first place, you likely would have never had a problem, and if you had, Apple would have offered support to deal with it.  Your choice, your decision, your consequences.

  • Week WiFi signal in 3gs iphone

    I have two iphone 3gs. WiFi in both phones are working fine with a previous ADSL router (linksys b/g).
    I had to shift the home, so my wifi was disconnected for a month, During that that I was using 3g using simcard.
    I got the Landline and I had to change the ADSL router to D link ADSL 2 latest modem (b/g/n).
    After that WiFi in one of the 3gs iphone is week and often gets cut of when I move away from the ADSL modem.
    The other phone has good signal.
    I have resetted the network settings. I have rebooted the iphone several times.
    Kindly guide to solve this problem.

    Most likely when you opened the iPhone, one of the interior connectors
    got dislodged or broken. You might find a third party repair shop to assist,
    but opening your iPhone voided the warranty and Apple cannot help you.
    You may be able to purchase an iPhone under out of warranty
    replacement if there is no obvious damage to the iPhone. Otherwise, you
    now own a brick - unuseable phone.
