TetherMe/Native thethering issue

[gngan]

Whenever i use native thether, a blue bar will show up on top of the screen telling me that i am tethering. However, when i make a call then a green bar will show up. Does that mean i can't tether when i am calling? I remember using MyWii and the green bar and blue bar will show up together. Also, the '3G' word would disappear.

Not sure if any one is experiencing this. I JB with Limera1n.

If you're on 3G you can tether and talk on the phone. The beauty of gsm

Yep, this will be the problem with a potential CDMA iPhone. If you tether, people will get tossed straight to voicemail.

both should work at the same time, mine keeps the connection to my mac while I am also talking on the phone...

Important point. AT&T uses GSM which allows data and voice at the same time. Verizon uses CDMA which does not allow this.

I've got another question. I tried to use USB native tethering with my new PC but my iphone doesn't show up the "blue bar" on top. I have iTunes open. Is there anything that needs to be set up in order to use it?

More likely your connection will die for a moment while you answer the call.

Your data transmission will stop while you're using voice or on a call. As soon as you hang up you can then start pulling carrier data again. Voice will always come first and pause all data transfers to give priority to the calls.

back to the green bar issue...mine only has the green bar when I am on the phone and I want to do something else like look up an app, text, email, etc. then I press the green bar and Im back to the phone screen and the green bar is gone. this even happens when Im tethering...
