New version, new problem

Delete Tether from your BlackBerry, pull the battery, install Tether again by visiting the following link from the default BlackBerry browser:

fixed it for a while, now it's back.

What BlackBerry are you using? What is the BlackBerry OS revision on your device?

I'm having the same issue with the same phone and os version.

Same issue, same carrier and same phone.

I'm trying to figure out how to just downgrade back to the previous version. That is if it doesn't get fixed soon.

exact same thing here
my carrier is verizon
phone is curve 8330
how can i downgrade to previous version?

I also have an 8330 with Verizon and OS v4.5.0.175 and am having the same issues. My errors come randomly, though.

Has anyone tried downgrading their BlackBerry OS?

Is everyone using an 8330 with BlackBerry OS 4.5.0.175?

Hey all,

I've got the exact same problem as the people above. Only difference is my 8330 is with Telus in Canada and am using OS 4.5.0.186.

I'm going to try downgrading using the info provided by tiggertiffin87. Tether 1.1.0.6 has never been as stable or as responsive as 1.1.0.4 was. I hope it's fixed it 1.1.0.7 :)

So far it's been working for me, using the older version. I guess I'll just wait til 1.1.0.7 comes out and see if this issue is fixed.

Yep, seems to be working fine here after a few hours of using the downgrade. Aside from the annoying prompt to upgrade every time I start Tether :P Not a big deal though, I'd rather have a minor annoyance and a working Tether than a broken Tether!

We recently pushed a silent update to 1.1.0.6, very minor fixes and removed some annoyances that some customers were complaining about.

Could you guys try updating to the latest .jad file at:

If it still happens, can you let me know specifically at how many packets you are seeing it happen at? Also, are you connecting over USB or Bluetooth?

Sure, I'll update shortly. When Tether throws the error on my 8330, normally the app on my PC dies too, I might not be able to record the packet count when it happens. Does either the PC app or the phone app keep a log anywhere?

Crap! I do appreciate you not taking up much phone space though :) Actually, using the history on the PC app, I can probably get a fairly accurate packet count. I'll give it a go and get back to you.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I am using Tether over USB cable.

Here's an update on how things are going over here. After installing 1.1.0.6 that had the silent update Patrick linked to 2 days ago, Tether was working. It was still a slight bit slower than 1.1.0.4 (subjective, no hard data to back that up), but it worked with no errors.

Today, 1.1.0.7 was released and Tether wanted to update so I let it and the Uncaught Exception error is back.

Using the history function of the Tether app on my PC, Tether had sent 392,663 packets and received 445,297 without error on the updated 1.1.0.6.

Since updating to 1.1.0.7, the error showed up after 25,138 sent and 31,520 received.

Don't know what it all means, but right now I'm back to 1.1.0.4. Patrick, if there's anything else ya want me to test, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Blackberry Curve 8330 on Verizon, OS 4.5.0.175, Tether 1.1.0.7, Tether on Mac 1.1.0.2, USB connection

Error message: Uncaught exception. Application Tether (179) is not responding; process terminated

Tether desktop on Mac quit at same time as the error occurred on 8330.

Google Mobile and AOL Instant Messenger were running. MilkSync is also installed but is set to sync every 2 hours so it's unlikely that it was syncing when the error was received.
