Odd, it was fine on my gnex and gs3 as well.

FoxFi works on my VZW X just fine.

Are you just using the one from the play store? Foxfi or pdanet? Could you post a link?

+1. Note that others have said it works with AT&T as well, just not for those of us with unlimited data plans.

I have 9 more days to return it so am hoping something will be found.

Re: FoxFi or other Tethering solution

I'm on a shared everything 8gb/month plan - does this mean I have free tethering/hotspot?

I saw this line in my plan: "4G Mobile Hotspot Provisioning $0.00"

Re: FoxFi or other Tethering solution

I have PDanet and Foxfi. I've yet to get the wireless hotspot to work, but i have gotten the tethering to work totally fine.

Re: FoxFi or other Tethering solution

Very interested to hear from the Verizon folks with the grandfathered unlimited plan if they have tethering and hotspot working with Foxfi.

Hopefully no impact with the rumored? Sept 4th roll out of 4.3... (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/an...o-x-won-t-get-android-4-3-until-sept-4th.html).

Is this on AT&T with an unlimited data plan?

Re: FoxFi or other Tethering solution

Just tried it out, guess it works on my VZW unlimited Moto X. Now I have a thing in the notifications bar that says "your hotspot or wifi is active, touch here to setup" and won't swipe away.

Then touch it.

Re: FoxFi or other Tethering solution

Don't want my phone to report back to Verizon that I've been tethering or something stupid like that. I restarted and it went away.

Now my issue is that FoxFi had to install some sort of VPN to make the tethering work, and it made me put a pattern unlock on my phone. Now I've deleted FoxFi for now and I want to take the pattern unlock off, but that VPN stuff still won't let me go back to swipe unlock. Can't find the app or whatever to delete it now and I don't want to delete something that I need.

Nope, I have a 10GB plan.

Settings>security>clear credentials will remove the requirement for your lock. (then you can go change/remove it.)

If that doesn't work, the app info in the Play store instructs you to delete all credentials and that will remove the PIN lock requirement.

Re: FoxFi or other Tethering solution

I use Portable Wi- Fi hotspot widget from the play store on my Galaxy Nexus, works fine. I have unlimited data on Verizon.Don't know if will work on the Moto X as I don;t have one yet.

That is removing the credentials

Re: FoxFi or other Tethering solution

Awesome, thanks. Found this same instruction in a FoxFi thread.

D'oh. I misread the statement. LOL Was dealing with a teenager issue at the house when I was trying to read through the forum earlier.
