I have found bits and pieces about this subject in other threads but I thought it would be good to have a specific thread for it.

I have unlimited data and I use Foxfi almost every day. If it isn't working on 4.3 that would be a deal breaker and I would either just stay on 4.1 or root and put a rom on it.

Has anyone with unlimited data been able to get Foxfi or a similar app working with the update?

From what I am reading and I have a friend that was using a different third party app (not FoxFi) after the 4.3 update he is unable to use the Hotspot without notifying / subscribing to Verizon. Sad... We are both on unlimited plans...

folks who have Verizon Galaxy S4 said they could use FoxFix after Verizon pushed out 4.3. However, they said FoxFi asked "certificate" to be installed..... never found out what they meant by certificate.

I couldn't get the hotspot to work but I was able to Bluetooth tether. I had to download pdanet tablet to my tablet and follow the instructions.

Over at XDA forum there is a thread for the OTA leak that came out a couple weeks ago. Bean deodexed and odexed it. Somewhere in the thread there's a fix for wifi tether.
Unfortunately anyone that received the OTA from VZW, whether rooted or not, the wifi tether was locked. So until Foxfi figures out a work around update wifi tether doesn't work without root or subscription.

After reading all the posts, I'm still trying to figure this out. For now, I've postponed the update for another 5 days which is the maximum time.

Will FoxFi work after this new update ??? I have a stock un-rooted Verizon Note 2 with unlimited data.

Thanks, Casey

No- As of right now it will not work. I am on a stock un-rooted Verizon note 2, and WiFi tethering stopped working for me after the 4.3 update.

as did the tether app I've used on and off for many months--Portable WiFi Hotspot, which I prefer over FoxFi.
i still can't believe how you were in every thread beotching about the update and telling people not to do it...............and then you updated anyway

I have not even received a 4.3 update. Still on 4.1.2 and now I will be sure Not to install the update. Although I don't use foxfi very often, I want to be sure I can when I need to! I will definitely Defer if/when I receive the update!

that's because you didn't read all of my posts, now did you?? I explained why I let the update install. Reading some of someone's posts will generally leave one with confusion.
