My Facetime is not working over 3G with My3G. What's wrong?
Why isn't YouTube showing in High Def with My3G?
- Make sure your license is valid.
- Go into the My3G App and make sure YouTube is checked.
- Try respringing or rebooting your iPhone. YouTube will be backgrounded and may not pick up any configuration changes.
I can only see the 'Hold' button when in a phone call. Where is the Facetime button?
Is MyWi 4.0 or My3G a one time fee or monthy?
None of our apps are monthly. All minor upgrades are free.
On occassion, with new features/enhancements, we release a new name for an exsiting product, (such as MyWi 4.0 for MyWi). This is after significant investment by us on the development of the product. You may choose to keep your old license or upgrade to the new product.
We can not guarantee future compatibility support/upgrade support but try our best!
I'm having problems with WiFi Tethering. What should I do?
We have redesigned MyWi 4.0 to be 99%+ successful. If you are using MyWi, please upgrade to MyWi 4.0.
If you're using MyWi 4.0 - here are some basic troubleshooting steps:
- Try rebooting your iDevice (we know - it's not Windows but sometimes a reboot helps)
- Turn off WEP. Believe it or not, many folks mistype the key either on the WiFi tethering side or the client side.
- Try another type of laptop/device to connect to the WiFi Hotspot. Some devices don't support Adhoc Networking, some drivers don't work correctly. This will help troubleshoot if it's the one device or something else. For WiFi from Windows please make sure that your computer supports connecting to an Ad-Hoc network. Some Windows 7 users have had to go into the properties for their Wireless NIC (in Device Manager) and enable Ad-Hoc support and/or upgrade their NIC driver.
- Make sure you have uninstalled any other tethering solution. Some apps, like PDANet will run a background service all the time which will prevent another DHCP server from running (which prevents MyWi 4.0 from correctly assigning you an IP Address).
If these steps didn't help, here are some advanced troubleshooting steps:
- If you can connect to the WiFi hotspot you created, but can't connect to the internet:
- Again - remove WEP and change the name of the WiFi Hotspot SSID on your iDevice and restart the WiFi tethering. Check the devices WiFi Network settings and see if you have obtained an IP address and a DNS server entry. If not, please send us a Syslog so we can help troubleshoot.
- If you can't start the WiFi Hotspot, try again. If it continues to not start, and you have rebooted, it might be easiest to restore your iDevice. We have 100% success rate for users that restore which indicates that they have installed something else on their iDevice which is conflicting. Again, this can be apps like PDANet or others.
Lastly - please do not use a cracked version. A reasonably large percentage of folks having problems have a cracked version which does not work. The cracked versions make the App say it's purchased, but the real part of MyWi knows that your trial is expired.
I already paid for MyWi - Why does it tell me to pay again for MyWi 4.0?
MyWi 4.0 is a complete rewrite due to complexities involved with iOS 4 on Apple's behalf. We hope you understand that our efforts to create MyWi 4.0 were many more times than that of the original. Other Intelliborn products such as IntelliScreen, Elert, My3G, IntelliDial and Tlert have been released as free updates given the more simplistic nature of the work required to make them function on 4.0.
You should be able to login with your existing RockID that you used to purchase MyWi and receive the discounted upgrade price to MyWi 4 ($9.99 US). The full purchase price of MyWi 4.0 is $19.99 US.
Do I have to pay for tethering with my carrier if I use MyWi/MyWi 4.0?
Can I USB tether and WiFi tether at the same time?
Note: If you are using USB to WiFi tethering and turn on WiFi Tethering, your USB traffic will go through 3G (of course).
Does MyWi 4.0 support Bluetooth Tethering?
Is MyWi 4.0 or My3G a one time fee or monthy?
None of our apps are monthly. All minor upgrades are free.
On occassion, with new features/enhancements, we release a new name for an exsiting product, (such as MyWi 4.0 for MyWi). This is after significant investment by us on the development of the product. You may choose to keep your old license or upgrade to the new product.

What's the difference between Status Bar Icon and Tethering Bar?
What does USB to WiFi bridging mean?
Can MyWi 4.0 create an Infrastructure network instead of Ad-Hoc?
MyWi USB is not working - what do I need? Will it work on Linux?
Why can't MyWi 4.0 work with PS3, PSP, Wii?
MyWi 4.0 creates an Ad-Hoc network. These devices do not support connecting to an Ad-Hoc network.
We are working on having MyWi 4.0 create an infrastructure network.
How do I create a new text using Tlert?
Can I compose or reply in landscape mode in Tlert?
You can reply to a Tlert in landscape mode. You can not use landscape for conversation mode or composing a new text message at this time.
We are working on landscape for Compose and Conversation mode. Thanks for your patience!
Will Tlert work with iBlacklist?
I use BiteSMS or iRealSMS. Will this work with Tlert?
The general rule is if the text message shows up in the default SMS app via the carrier - yes.
If it comes in through a different "network" (ie, biteSMS's own network) - then it will likely not work.
For iRealSMS: You will want to turn off QuickReply (as this is the function of Tlert).
How can I configure the SIZE of Calendar, Mail, News, etc. displays?

Why is my mail not showing?
There may be a number of causes of your mail not showing:
1) Ensure you have selected the mail accounts in the Mail settings of the IntelliScreen settings application.
2) Check the layout screen:
- If the mail is set to New1 or New2 - it will only show when new messages are available. New1 corresponds with IntelliScreen Page 1 and New2 for Page 2 (You can flip between pages by double tapping on the time/date area)
- If the mail icon is dimmed, then mail is set to not show. Either press the mail icon, or click on the reset icon on the far right of the bottom toolbar to reset your layout to the default layout.

Yes - MyWi 4.0, Tlert, Elert, IntelliScreen, My3G, and InteliDial are all iOS 4 compatible.
MyProfiles is in beta for iOS4, but will be released shortly.

How many devices can I install my purchased license on?
You may install your purchased license on any one device at any one time. You may transfer your license if you replace/upgrade your iPhone. If you restore your iPhone, you can simply reinstall without any transfer.
To redownload - simply rejailbreak your iPhone and via RockApp or Cydia, install your software. You'll need to open the app and re-sign in using the same RockID. If you are transferring your license, you'll need to open the RockApp, Sign In, and press Yes to the transfer option.
Is there a No-Rock version of MyWi 4.0, My3G, Tlert, Elert, MyProfiles, IntelliDial, or IntelliScreen?
Not at this time. We are trying to work with Cydia on this currently.
Some folks are anti-rock due to a few issues with the RockApp. These issues have been resolved and Rock now has a few million happy users worldwide. All software has bugs - even Cydia, and Rock has worked hard at resolving them. RockApp doesn't run in the background at all except for a catalog update once a day. You can turn this off under RockApp -> Manage -> Settings -> Check For Updates. This is used to badge SpringBoard with any application updates.Please give RockApp a try. You'll love it!
Do you have any discount codes or combination discounts if I buy many licenses/multiple devices?
I purchased a license - but when I retrieve my license, it says it's a trial license
99% of the time - this is due to you being signed in with the wrong RockID. Please double check the email address you purchased the license and open the RockApp and browse to Manage -> Rock ID and ensure they match.
If I restore my iPhone, will I need to purchase a new license?
No - Your license is tied to your iPhone serial # which never changes, regardless of restore/firmware.
Can I transfer my license(s) to a new iPhone?
Yes - it's easy with RockApp! Simply open the RockApp and login. It'll ask you to transfer your license.
Note: You need a license per device for all Intelliborn products. If you have multiple devices, you'll need a unique RockID per device.
Do you offer refunds?
No - please trial the product for 10 days. If you are satisfied with the application, purchase it and support future development.
What are the requirements to install Intelliborn apps on my iPhone?
You will need a Jailbroken iDevice. Intelliborn apps will not be in the iTunes store as they do not conform with Apple's current development restrictions. Feel free to petition Apple to make an exception.
If you do not already have a Jailbroken iDevice, you will need to jailbreak your iDevice.
How do I install IntelliScreen, MyWi, Tlert, Elert, MyProfiles, or My3G on my iPhone?
You may install IntelliScreen via Rock or Cydia on a Jailbroken iPhone:
1. Open Rock or Cydia on the iPhone, click Search

3. Click Install
If you do not already have RockApp or Cydia on your iPhone, you will need to jaibreak your iPhone This will allow 3rd party software to run on your iPhone that does not meet Apple's SDK's terms.
