well, pork and beans, this is finally what we've been waiting for!
I have successfully installed the tetherbot. i didn't find out about the dns settings till after i installed FoxyProxy, so i didnt bother with it...i guess i just want easy of transition from office (wifi/LAN) connection to mobile.
so yea thanks for all your hard work, Grhamsz, and heres hoping there will be no data caps from Tmobile! presently, verizon, and att (and sprint?) have a 5GB limit for their EVDO cards. if you go over...WHAMMO, from $.25 to $.50 (att) PER MEGABYTE.
anyway, i can't seem to get my email working... i thought that a proxy didn't affect port 25? i cannot connect to my SMTP server either... something dumb i'm forgetting?
as far as speeds are concerned: in my area i'm getting: 3G
40kb/s down and 20kb/s up which is of course terrible, but i guess acceptable. compared with the folks at
www.inetworktest.com i guess this sucks. However, the same webpage will take 20% longer to load on my laptop than it does on the G1 ! wft?
another problem i'm having is that the G1 is sucking my laptop dry with power consumption... anyone know if theres a way to turn off the charging from USB temporarily?
