That settles it for me — I’m sticking with 3.0 as long as I possibly can!

You were quite right – as soon as I actually tried to use Tethering the option disappeared.

I have now managed to downgrade the firmware back to 3.0. I’ve done this mainly because recently my iPhone has been stuck on a blank black screen several times and also today 3 calls were diverted to voicemail even though I had full signal.

I’d definitely avoid firmware 3.1 for now!!

Hi Kevin,

I wonder if it’s related to the fact that I’m in the UK on O2?

Correct. I’ve read various reports that folks have lost their Internet Tethering hack after upgrading the iPhone OS from 3.0. You’re actually the first person I’ve seen to have it still working! I’m still holding off for now… just to be safe.

Hi Kevin,

I guess from your comment about 3.1 that it has been found to disable tethering?

I have iPhone 3.1 and my “hacked” tethering still works.

Regards

Simon
