Daniel Ho’s Musings

I’m deeply saddened by the events in Haiti. My thoughts are with those who are suffering and those who are aiding the struggling nation.

Please help out by giving generously to your local Red Cross, or my perennial charity of choice, Médecins Sans Frontières.

Médecins Sans Frontières is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion and natural or man-made disasters.

Please support me by making a donation by clicking through the link to my fundraising page here..

THANK YOU!

Saw this and it made me laugh. I’m twisted today…

If you are like me, you HAD to have iPhone tethering even though it wasn’t supported yet. So, you poked around on the web and found/hacked a profile config file for Fido/Rogers and installed it.

Well, as of iPhoneOS 3.1, the iPhone will not accept unsigned config files (unless you have jailbroken); as such, this file will no longer work. This means that if you have the unsigned config file, your tethering option will disappear.

However, seeing as Rogers/Fido has officially embraced tethering (for now). If you have the hacked and unsigned config file installed it (or any similar file for other carriers, like AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) and upgraded to iPhoneOS 3.1 or 3.1.2, you will need to remove it.

Open Settings > General > Profiles (at the bottom). Remove the profile you see there. Tethering should now show up for you.

Enjoy! The credit for this goes to http://cdslash.net/about/ who helped me work out the whole config file thing in the first place…
