Since upgrading to iOS 4.2.1, my iPhone 4 wont allow me to tether through Bluetooth (it works with USB).
It used to work perfectly (bluetooth and USB) before the update, so the iPhone software really seems to be the key here.
When trying to connect on my Macbook, I dont get any error message and I see the blue sharing banner appear on the iPhone, but theres just no connection when I try to use it. Only red lights in the Network Pane too.
I tried resetting the pairing between the 2 devices, rebooting the iPhone, disabling/enabling the data connection and maybe 2 or 3 other things I forgot.
Help, anyone?

to be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work..
I would restore from backup and if that doesnt work I would restore as new if all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

I am having the same problem, which i just noticed today. Im not sure if its affiliated with the update, but bluetooth tethering was working fine until I checked it today. The iPhone USB tethering works fine still though however.
