Has anyone tried Tetherme on VZW iPhone 4.2.6? I want to get it but, I want to make sure it works before I do.
 
Well I purchased it and I could not get it to work for me. It kept saying I need to contact Verizon to enable tethering... So, I sent a email to the developer hopefully they can get a fix out for this.

At the very least it sounds like it will work on 4.3 when the Verizon iPhone gets updated to that

Alright so me and the developer of Tetherme have been exchanging emails trying to figure what's wrong. Basically it has to so with Verizon not using apn. He said he gonna work it. He is very friendly and I hope he gets this working soon.
 
did some work tonight with no success. They think they know what's wrong but are going to do the testing on AT&T (his phone rather than working with mine remotely) If he needs my phone he has my contact information. I'll keep you updated.

Just got an email from the developer saying he has a work around going and that I should watch Cydia for a update. I can't wait!

That's awesome!
 
I've gotten wifi and bt working but usb isn't working for me? anything special you have to do?

edit: seems to have gotten usb tether to work by closing itunes, unplugging and replugging in usb cable and connecting via bluetooth. usb and bt are on in prefs and usb is on top so I believe it's usb tethering now

I can only get bluetooth to work with TetherMe, is there anything special I have to do with APN for Verizon to get it to work with wifi? I've tried it on several computers and other devices and nothing sees the iPhone broadcasting. Thanks.

It worked for me out of box. Are you on the latest version? Both 4.2.6 on the iPhone and 2.0-59?
 
Yeah 2.0-59. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, switching off and on bluetooth/wifi, I'm not sure what the issue is.

Is your iPhone on 4.2.6 as well? I think I remember him saying it didn't work on 4.2.5. On my APN settings, it's on "Automatic", and in the actual settings themselves, they are all blank except for MMSC, MMS Max Message Size and MSS UA Prof URL.

Yeah its on 4.2.6. All my settings are the same as yours. I just tried resetting settings, still nothing.

Turns out the name of my iPhone was either too long, or the special characters were messing things up. I renamed the phone to something shorter without special characters and it worked. Thanks ulbador for all of your help, and sorry to waste your time.
