   3. Find and install MobileTerminal
   4. Find and install 3Proxy
   5. Hit the “Home” button to verify that MobileTerminal is now installed on the homescreen (3Proxy isn’t a GUI app, so you won’t see an application icon)
3. Create an ad-hoc WiFi network on your laptop laptop
   1. Name it something memorable – like “Tether-ific”
4. Lock your iPhone 3G on to the ad-hoc WiFi network you just created

7. Start up your iPhone’s Safari browser and open a web page
   1. Wait for your iPhone’s Safari browser to realize that it can’t use the ad-hoc WiFi network (because it leads nowhere, for now) and then switch to using the 3G data connection

Hmm…Do you know that GPS receiver and 3G radio can suck the battery of your iPhone 3G? some of you might’ve noticed that the lifetime of your iPhone 3G’s battery is shorter than the previous version of iPhone. However, we now have the solution thanks to our folks at intomobile. Here’s the step:

First off, you can disable your 3G data radio.

• Navigate to Settings>General>Network>Enable 3G and toggle “OFF’

Second, you can try to force-quit applications that may be running in the background and sucking precious electrons from your battery pack.

• Open up suspect applications (anything that you don’t want persisting in the background) and hold down the “Home” (the only button on the iPhone’s face) until the application quits. It takes a while, be patient.

Third, try resetting the iPhone.

• Hold down the Power/Sleep button located along the top-edge of the iPhone until you see the “Slide to Power OFF” prompt.
• Flick the slider to the right and let the iPhone shutdown.
• Press the Power button to turn on the iPhone
