wifi tethering (w/o root)

[Edwill86]

ok guys I need to find an app ( preferably free that does what foxfi use to do.) it seems foxfi does not work with 4.1+ devices. my buddy needs a wifi tether app but is not willing to root. also the fatten toggle seems to not work on his device. any ideas?

Why don't you just try it and post your results? I assumed you had already...

I've been using FoxFi, as well, without a problem on stock 4.1. Although, I have yet to update to the newest version due to obvious reasons.

I tried to DL it and use it on my gnex and the connection would always time out. My buddy has a different device but the razor threads are pretty full of non helpful ppl. He does t want to update his os until he knows he can still tether to his nexus 7

My Bionic died a few days ago (what a piece of......that phone was) so I've been on the Gnex only a few days. One of my biggest worries was Foxfi with JB.....I was pleasantly surprised to find it worked for me. It took a little longer to connect but once it did, no problem.

Fattin/Hotspot Toggle widget has worked perfectly for me.
