iPhone Problems with TetherMe [PLEASE HELP!!]

[kadsl]

TetherMe worked once, right after I installed it. I've tried reinstalling multiple times, I have the option to start tethering but it doesn't show up in WiFi and while I can connect to my phone with Bluetooth, Tethering still doesn't work. I've tried restarting a billion times, erasing network settings, everything I can think of. Nothing worked. Please help!!! I have an iPhone 5 on Verizon.

Well im not sure what to do.

Well... Thanks, I guess. I wonder if anyone can help me... Do you have any idea how to remove tethering from my settings, then? Because it stays even when I remove TetherMe.

Give it time... it could take 4-5 mins for wifi to populate... Same with connecting... it will connect...

This is one of the few things that android really got right.... enable... connect... done.

Sounds like you might have a conflict with another package installed.
Try removing tetherme. Restart you iphone and then install it again.

But it's not even showing up on my computer... Right now I've had it enabled for about five minutes. Will wait a bit longer.

Wow, over 35+ packages installed.
There's your answer right there.
So you expect to have 35-40 hacks installed and not have any bugs or conflicts?

Basically... This is my only bug. And it's worked before, mind you, with all these installed. Are you sure that TetherMe supports tethering over WiFi with an iPhone 5 yet?

Yes, works fine with everyone else to tether using wifi, BT and USB.
Remove them all then install tetherme and your packages one by one testing the tethering function to figure out what one or combo of one or more things breaks tethering.
But my advice is get rid of stuff that you dont need, use or can live without.
Keep stuff that are usefull and must haves.
Dont install everything there is available on cydia.

I've been jbing since 1.1.4, I'm not just installing everything available on Cydia I know what I'm doing with regards to tweaks.

Instead of uninstalling everything, though, I used Springtomize 2 to disable all addons to mobile substrate other than Springtomize (so I'd be able to reenable them) and TetherMe. I resprung, then rebooted. Still didn't work. I'd rather not start erasing and reinstalling tweaks, as that'll take forever. Do you have any ideas which tweaks could be causing this?

 

[Applejuiced]

Your guess is as good as anyones.
I can tell you some of them I have installed before and never gave me any problems with my tethering hacks.

WiFi Passwords
FakeClockUp
NCSettings
MobileTerminal
OpenSSH
Zephyr

So start removing some of the other ones and hope you find it or narrow it down.
But again that doesnt mean 100% that a combination of 2 or more packages cant conflict and cause the tetherme issues you're experiencing either.
Hope it works out in the end even though it can be a time consuming process.

Ughh alright, I guess that's what I've gotta do. I'll just restore my iPhone, rejailbreak, restore iTunes backup, and start doing that whole process tomorrow. I'll let you know if I make any progress. Thanks so much for your help so far.

Sucks bro
But hope you find the "pain in the rear" conflict fast

I know when I first installed tetherme it didn't work, I ended up resetting my settings, after that it worked.

That's my personal experience with it.

Which settings did you reset? Network settings or all? I've tried everything short of erasing all content and settings, nothings worked for me.

OK so I restored, rejailbroke, and reinstalled tweaks. Here are the ones I have installed now, with TetherMe working:
Auxo
Ayecon
Bonjour Fix
Browser Changer
Bulletin
BytaFont
Chromizer
FakeClockUp
FullForce for Phone
iFile
Infinidock
MobileTerminal
NCSettings
NCSettings ISX
NoNewsIsGoodNews
OpenSSH
Springtomize 2
TetherMe
Torch
Unfold
Winterboard
Zephyr

So the problem was caused by one of these:
Barrel
Bars
ChargingBackground
Chrome Download Manager
iCleaner
LocallAPStore
LowPowerBanner
MultiIconMover
OpenSSH
SMSConfirmation
WiFi Passwords
xCon

Nice.
You're almost there bro.
You can identify the issue if you keep going slowly and testing as you go.

Is there a general consensus that you need bluetooth and wifi both on to tether? Mine is working great with only wifi on.
