Hi, Since Verizon recently pushed 4.3 out to GS3 users, all mobile hotspot apps quit working (for those with unlimited data) with the exception of FoxFi. However FoxFi now requires a VPN Certificate to be installed for the hotspot feature to work. Does anyone know what this certificate is...

No the foxfi certificate doesn't make the Portable wifi hotspot app work...tried it, only makes foxfi's hotspot app work. I'd still like to know what that certificate is doing however.

ahh thanks...it wasn't working originally because I have tasker set to turn off mobile and wifi data until the screen is unlocked. A tweak to that fixed it. Thanks!

So I just now found out that if you forgot the lock screen pin/pattern there is a link at the bottom "forgot code" and it allows you to enter your email and a password. Now this may be dumb, but what email and password is it - I have multiple Gmail accounts on my device. And is it the password...

Hi All, I too got this to work with my stock vzw 4.3 (where portable wifi hotspot, which was my preferred app, doesn't). However, does anyone know what this certificate is actually doing? Am I granting access to my device to foxfi or someone/thing else? I'm a bit of a privacy nut so I want to...

Yes, I'm very familiar with ebay. The problem I have with that I's that it's difficult to touch and feel the products before purchase. Therefore I was hoping to get some feedback from those that have used cases/covers - what they liked and/or didn't like.

Hi All, I've got a GT2 on the way and wanted to get some recommendations for screen protectors and cases? I'm a minimalist type of person when it comes to these things so I generally get the screen film type...from verizon (they've been the best I've found so far) and some type of outer case...

Can't use this app it seems because I also have an exchange calendar that is needed as well as google ones.

I'm not a heavy user of my phone, mainly just email, calendar, and internet app(s)...what makes an app switch out of memory - running out of memory because I doubt my phone ever does.

Yeah I thought about that...the behavior makes sense considering the app doesn't really close. I was just hoping it was some setting was missing that would default to "today" when the app is in the foreground.

Hi, I just recently switched back from the iphone and one thing i noticed that android doesn't seem to do is when I open the calendar it opens to the last day and time of day that I previously viewed...even if the last time i looked at the calendar was 3 days ago. Is there a way to make the...

Hi, I've read conflicting reports about which heart rate strap will work with the Verizon S3. I was wondering if there is anyone out there that uses a HRM if they can provide details on which one(s) work well? Thanks!

Hi, I've got the free version of Juice Defender installed running the balanced profile. When I turn on the screen (power button press) I can see the shield in the notification area with the red dot, which is supposedly indicating that all radios are disabled/turned off. However that doesn't...

Well it is to replace an iPhone4. Doing your typical tasks such as internet, facebook/twitter/etc, email, texting. There wouldn't be any rooting or that type of stuff. Given this what phone would you recommend (My only stipluation is that its a verizon 4g phone)...could be either of these...

As the title suggests, what is the difference between the Verizon model of the Nexus and S3? I'm looking to upgrade my phone and I only buy used now (versus taking the VZW subsidy) but I'm having trouble seeing the differences.
