Looking at your signature stringfellow, have anyone mention that in OS 3.0 when you tap on the blue dot that shows your current location and it will also show the exact accurate address of your location.

my two question got deleted maybe due to the data kena nuke,,, so my 2 questions is, can we bluetooth file to the other phone and sync itunes using bluetooth...

Just wondering, is there anyone here already install and test OS 3.0GM. I need some feedback to compare on how well the tethering work in Malaysia. Seem a bit complicated to work out the tethering over here. sigh

It is a bit unwise to do that when the official release is close. If it is that enticing, perhaps you could lead the way and install them yourself and tell us how it works? IIANM, tethering requires the Pre-Released 8.1 version of iTunes as well as the .icpp file for carrier information. I may be wrong on this, but I distinctly remember reading about it.

On a totally unrelated note,

You can't see me now, but it certainly is weird smiling ear-to-ear at 05:35 in the wee hours of the morning. 

Yup. the provider files are the problem. Found out how to tweak it for Optus but lot of ppl done it say it might intefere with the MMS setting. Did not proceed lol. Guess taking your advice since the release date is sooo near.  I so need to do something else before i bricked my iphone.

Yes, it is demonstrated on AT&T's case where they have a build of OS v3.0 and then the proper carrier files tethering will work.

as i expected, that's why when some of us when they update to the OS3 GM they cant use the tethering and mms, it is because carrier setting will be need to enable all of those. and since OS3 will come out next week. those from maxis will surely get the setting from maxis but how about other telco,
if there is no carrier setting provide for them, it means that they can't use tethering and mms?

There are 2 things at work here.

A. The iPhone 3 OS GM activates on any iPhone as long as it is a legit iPhone.  (Not SIM unlocked and working on Tmobile in the US or Vodafone in the UK for example).  If you are using your iPhone on AT&T in the US, it unlocks without issue.  When you go to iPhone 3 you lose your abiity to Jailbreak (for the moment).  More information on this here.

B. The first iTunes 8.2 Pre-release (not the second) allows you to upload carrier .ipcc files directly to your iPhone which enables tethering AND puts your carrier settings on the iPhone.  This was a huge mistake (or was it?...hmm) from Apple because with this version of iTunes you can turn any iPhone into a tether iPhone without permission from the carrier.

This works.  It has been tried a number of times on a few different iPhones.  Here's the easiest way to do this:

1. You probably already have iTunes 8.2 final on your machine.  No problem.  Update your iPhone to 3 GM like so.
2. Now you have to download the 8.2 pre-release 1. We can't tell you how to do this but we're sure you'll get some help in the comment threads. You'll also need to get the carrier settings file from this application (UPDATE: Commenters are saying this one works better for AT&T)..  Most international carriers are supported.
Once you have iTunes pre-release1 , you'll need to completely uninstall iTunes 8.2 before installing the pre-release.
3. Completely Uninstall iTunes 8.2 Final by:
A. Trashing the iTunes.app application from your applications folder
B. Kill the iTunes Helper process in Activity Monitor.app
C. Go into your ~/Library folder and delete all of your iTunes plists and folders.  Alternatively, you can just create a new user account on your Mac and install it from there.
D. Empty trash
4. Install iTunes 8.2 Pre-Release.  Plug in your iPhone 3.0 and go to iTunes, go to the Summary page
5. Option-Click on Restore and browse to the AT&T.ipcc file you extracted from the iPhoneTether.app before (or here from AT&T).



6. Click open and you should only have to wait a few seconds while you see this:



7. Once that is complete, go to your iPhone/Settings/General/Network and you should see a new option about 1/2 way down called "Internet Tethering".  Click "on".  Instructions will be below.
8. Once enabled, your Mac should pop up a notification:



That's it.  You should be tethering, free of (additional) charge on your unlimited iPhone plan.  As far as we can tell, so long as you don't update your iPhone or iTunes, you should be able to continue.

By the way, AT&T doesn't allow apps like Sling because it considers the iPhone a computer and it falls under those terms of service - which is already a tethering plan.  If that is the case, then there shouldn't be additional charge for using your unlimited plan with a computer.

You can use iphone configuration utility v1.1 and edit the mobileconfig file to enable MMS and tethering.

Or wait till the official FW3.0 release and stop having headache on how to get tethering to work on 3.0GM.
