Flashlight App Sneaks Tethering Into App Store [Pulled]

[dallasnights]

Windows 7

How do you make this work in Windows 7, I realize I am on a MAC board but thought I would ask, maybe some instructions for setting up on Windows would be great including the proxy part

Thanks all

I am posting this right now through tethering on my iPhone 4. Is the internet speed slow? My phone has full bar and using the phone is faster than tethering the computer.

Someone mentioned in App shopper the following:

"You can tether your iPad, but you’ll need your laptop to act as the intermediary. Just add the iPad to the ad-hoc network."

How do you add Ipad to the adhoc network?

so you add ipad to the 'tether demo' network (if using the example video).. and it'll work?

wow

Shouldve Known...

I couldn't find the app on my iPad so I downloaded it directly from iTunes on my Mac. When I went to load it on my iPad I was informed the iPad needed newer software. Bummer... I was upset I missed the Netshare app back in the day on my iPhone so I was determined to get this one.

Bought it even tho I don't need it since I live in Canada (plus I still own netshare!). Just wanted to support the creator.

This guy is going to make a quick $100K from this LOL

I love it. Thank you to the Developer

Since he broke the ToS, I doubt he will be payed.

Did anyone else notice the icon for the app? It looks like a shielded twisted pair cable…

I did notice that, but I think you mean unshielded twisted pair cable. A shielded twisted pair cable would be overkill...

Grabbed this. It's ridiculous, my iPhone 4 has 6x the upload speed of my home internet connection on Clearwire... How sad.

 

[Clete2]

Can't Apple remotely remove apps? Seems like eventually Apple will remotely pull the app.

So I just bought the app (the first one I've ever bought actually) Anyways, I'm getting a replacement MacBook Pro soon because of some dead pixels. Can someone tell me what I need to do, to make sure when I get my iTunes account on my new MacBook Pro, that I will still have the Handy Light app? (I don't yet have an iPhone 4)

 

[iMattMac]

Any way to tether iPad and iPhone with this app?

I purchased it hoping that maybe this was true. I have a feeling based on the setup process that I wont be able to. I have not had a chance to try though.

 

[Loves2spoon]

wheres the link to make this work on windows? cannot find

 

[Demarrer]

If apple pulls this, will the tethering still work?

 

[cjmike]

kill switch?

Will this be apple's first kill-switched app?

Another reason not to buy an iPhone, My HTC HD2 on a 7.2 Mb/s HSDPA connection beats the crap out of that. Happy waiting!!

How so? Even the iPhone 3GS supported HSDPA 7.2

Since he broke the ToS, I doubt he will be payed.

...and neither will we have to pay.

 

[malcolmffc]

I watched it and read the thread . . . excuse the dumb question.

Is this tethering on 3G networks? It appears to be going wi-fi -> iPhone -> Mac. Or did I miss something in the video?

Yes, it's tethering on the 3G network. The app works by setting up a proxy for the 3G connection on your iPhone, which you then connect your computer to through an ad-hoc wifi network.

Need to jailbreak iphone anymore... ZERO



It does take quite a while to get going. Actually impressed on the setup process since the computer still thinks the wireless has no ip address. Now if only he could background the app

(btw, posted from tethered iphone)

My response times and throughput have been great. 3.4 mbit down 1.1 mbit up. Pages load in a snap. Pure awesomeness.

Finally.

lulz developer is lulz

 

[iSaxon]

I missed Netshare the first time. Figured I'd wait a day before buying it. I've regretted it for 2 years...


I was not going to miss this one...

Same with me!

 

[andy71600]

I cant figure out how to set this up in win 7

 

[superrcat]

Uh.

Another reason not to buy an iPhone, My HTC HD2 on a 7.2 Mb/s HSDPA connection beats the crap out of that. Happy waiting!!

iPhone has supported 7.2-Mbps HSDPA since iPhone 3GS. Another reason to check your facts.

 

[winninganthem]

Will this be apple's first kill-switched app?

Me too, but I wonder why Netshare was never kill-switched.

 

[lunarworks]

Will this be apple's first kill-switched app?

Nah, too much publicity. They'll just quietly release an update to iOS that breaks it.

 

[ruinfx]

Will this be apple's first kill-switched app?

it might be, since its such a blatant offense. netshare getting pulled from the app store but not kill switched was apples warning. this time developers should know better, and not to mention at&t has finally started charging for tethering. the situation is not the same as when netshare came out.

Will this be apple's first kill-switched app?

haha....i said the same thing...
