Best WiFi tethering App?

**Praggles** · 08-16-2012, 07:03 PM

What is the best wifi tethering app for ICS Max unrooted. I want to install one now before Verizon figures a way to block again...Thinking of FoxFi....

Foxfi works well for me, but then again, I don't use it much.

Foxfi. Doesn't require root, and works great.

FoxFi. Getting the hint?

Did anyone mention foxfi? I love that app.

You'll never take my unlimited data!

Thanks...I am getting a Nexus 7 and I want to tether off the phone in car and hotels. Hopefully this will work...can't wait till new toy arrives and I can try out.

I've been unable to wifi teather my non-rooted maxx and G7 I've tried every suggestion short of rooting and it's always a no go.

Has anyone had luck tethering unrooted RAZR MAXX with Nexus 7? If so what app did you use?

Foxfi

I am using foxfi currently with my new N7 and I couldn't be happier.

Unrooted Maxx and unrooted N7.

Try foxfi...I'm surprised no one has mentioned it here. Sheesh.

Ouch...it's a RAZR, Maxx.

Poor vertical peripheral vision, I guess ...

I don't know if anyone has ever told you, but FoxFi is the best..

I guess I should try it

.

Its important to me since I could get my company to pay data on a 3/4g device but I am choosing a wifi only device that I plan to run off my phone...want to be sure I won't regret...

This is why you should read before you post kids...

It was sarcasm, friend...

Ah, good old sarcasm. One of those "hard to gauge" internet phenomenon. ;-)

I'd say foxfi too but I haven't been able to get it to work on my wife's maxx since the ics upgrade. Works great on my other phone.

**mzanette** · 09-01-2012, 07:20 AM

I'm not understanding this thread (I'm a noob). Isn't tethering as a hotspot built into android by default? I have an option to turn my gs3 into a hotspot, why do people install a separate app to do this?

**jeverts** · 09-01-2012, 08:55 AM

So Verizon doesn't charge you...

Oh I see. We get tethering included here in Canada at no extra charge (but our data plans suck)

**dvanhouter** · 09-01-2012, 11:28 AM

Definitely foxfi!

Try uninstalling it and reinstalling. I had the same issue, and this worked for me

Because you have to pay for that hot spot. Vs Foxfi just uses your data and makes it a free wifi hotspot.
