Create an iPad to iPhone connection On Demand! Having to turn on and off a hotspot gets old quickly when you’re doing it all the time, as when you share your iPhone’s 3G connection with a WiFi-Only iPad.

Mywi has been around for a while and has always been one of those nifty apps that was nice to have but not really a must have. But with the release of the iPad and the iPhone 4 and it’s newer faster data connection speeds, and more iPhone users having multiple wifi dependent devices with them all the time, it seems as this app has reached must have status.

New day, new major update: MyWi 4.0 . Create a WiFi HotSpot with a press of a finger! Wherever you are – you can connect your laptop or other mobile device to your iPhone easily. MyWi has been rebuilt from scratch to bring tethering support to iOS 4! Will work with all jailbroken iPhones (including 2G/3G/3GS/4) and iPad on 3.1.2 or later.
iPhone OS 3.0 has a bad “feature” which let karmetasploit attack you without user interaction. Be careful what you join.
All you will know that the Firmware 3.0 introduces a new feature that covers the auto-login to the WiFi HotSpot public, which also involves the automatic opening of the Safari. This beautiful novelty, however, could jeopardize our security. Let us look for the good functioning of this feature and understand what is the problem:
In an attempt to connect to a Wi-Fi network, the iPhone perform 2 steps:
Create a DNS query to the Apple site
Try to open an HTML file in the site itself
If the HotSpot prompts you for a password, Safari will open with a login form to be filled, otherwise, if the network is completely free and public, the iPhone will launch Safari and you can start surfing the www.
Because of this, theoretically, anyone could achieve misrepresentation of WiFi network with the name “FREE WiFi” rather than “Public WiFi” and, taking advantage of remote exploits that could draw from Safari valuable information stored in the cookies, such as logins for numerous websites.
So, just be careful when you choose to join a WiFi network.
Everybody is complaining about the battery life on iPhone 3G. Well there are a couple of things you can do to save your battery life. This will not have a strict order and some of them tips might not suit you.
Once per week try to use all the battery life of your iPhone/iPod Touch and than charge it 100%. By doing this you will reset your battery. The more you recharge your device, without letting the battery die completely, the lower your ‘battery capacity’ is.
If you got a jailbreaked device, you know how fast your battery life is sucked . One of the reasons is SSH. The SSH process is running in the background when any network activity is available. You can turn this off with BossPreff or SBSettings.
Do you have WiFi? Great thing this WiFi huh? Have you noticed how much battery life this sucks, especially when paired with browsing the web? Well when not used or you are out of its reach, you can turn it off. If WiFi is on, and your not in a hotspot, it will constantly search for networks in background, and your loosing battery life for nothing.
Speaking of WiFi…. when you use WiFi turn EDGE and 3G off. ( If you want to use 3G, you NEED TO HAVE EDGE ON . 3G will not work if EDGE is not on )
Dim the screen dudes. Really who stands the 100% brightness on the 3G? I really cant , it hurts my eyes. And if you got it set to 100% this beautiful screen will suck the battery life like crazy.
Turn off Auto-Brightness . Well , first of all this is annoying ( to me ), and if off it will not only stop increasing the brightness level, it will also use less resources ( nothing to monitor )
You might also want to set Auto-Lock to 1 min. The more your screen in on ( if not used ), the more battery its using.
Do you like your sound effects? Some of them are cool, but if you don’t want to turn them off, at least set them to either Speaker or Headphones. By default sound effects are set to both.
You might also want to turn off EQ. If EQ is off, less resources used to monitor .
Try to check your emails less. When emails is checked there is network activity.
Again, this has no particular order and some of them ( or most of them ) might not suit you. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND YOU TO RESET YOUR BATTERY ( see bullet-point 1 ). This is a must, and its not only for iPhone or iPod Touch. The other tips or hints are optional.
