Anyone Try FoxFi Free Wireless Tether (no root needed) ?!?

[hoovhartid]

Here is a LINK


Just wondering if it works...

I was told Sprint blocked it from the Play Store...but when has that stopped us?...
....So sprint users will have to go HERE

I'd do it myself...but I ordered the 32gb version :'(


This is one of the reasons i root....so if this works...I may not root for awhileO


....we'll see:-!

thanks in advance!

So I went the extra mile for you. Lol. I tried to hook my iPad up to it though. First using the wifi tether. It didnt work. So I activated the bluetooth but to tether to the Ipad through bluetooth you needed to download this package in cydia. Luckily my iPad is jailbroken but when I went to cydia the package would not download. So for rightnow... With my iPad this thing is a bust. Also tried the wifi tether with my Palm Pre, didnt work. I will try my laptop for you tomorrow though. But I doubt it will work.

By the way, sprint has a mobile hotspot on here. And noone asked me if I wanted to buy it or anything so I am starting to wonder if it is a free service?

I've used it before when I had my note. it worked great, connected my mac to it multiple times, no complaints here.

I used it with my GNote (AT&T) and a laptop PC and it worked as advertised.

I have it working fine with my Sister's EPIC 4G Touch. No problems whatsoever. It is not rooted and connects her laptop.

I tried it today with my Sprint S III and Xoom tablet (unrooted ICS) and Kindle Fire. Neither the Xoom nor the Fire could connect via Wi-Fi but I got the Xoom connected via Bluetooth. But with no LTE service available, it is a slooooow line.

I use it to tether my PS Vita to my phone but I always have a custom ROM applied. I hear good things about the CWM tether app but you have to dongle your phone.

I use it on my unrooted Nexus to tether my Kindle Fire without any problems. It won't work for me over EvdoA, but if I turn LTE on, even without a true 4g connection , I get Ehrpd. The fire then connects easily.

So...so far no GS3 love without a BT connection...hmm maybe a note to the developer, but not until I get my 32g S3:'( and try messing with it myself

@tkbredx
Which cydia package are you trying to download? I also have a jailbroken iPad and the s3 is in the mail, so trying to figure if I need to root the s3.

I use it with my transformer prime and my sony laptop....no problem

On Verizon here but I love Foxfi. Works great. Also for those of you on verizon you can just get a switch widget and add a switch for the hotspot - also works.

on 3 (Three) network (carrier in UK) they can detect tethering via Foxfi on an unrooted phone (they throttled my shortys data connection)

global s3, UK. Ask me anything and ill reply even if its just an intelligent (or crazy) guess

I have a question. Let me know if i'm thinking right. Thanks.

I currently have an jailbroken Ipad3 ios5 tethering on my S3 unrooted. I think Foxfi tethering will work on Ipads only if Ipads are jailbroken. My wish now is to be able to update my Ipad3 from ios5 to ios6. But if I do the update, my Ipad will no longer be jailbroken and thus won't be able to do Foxfi tethering, until there's jailbreaking on ios6 available.

So, if I want to still use tethering on my Ipad NOW, I should not do the ios update. Correct? Thanks.

Just downloaded foxfi on my new SGSIII (AT&T brand). Everything working good. Don't know if AT&T can detect it, but we'll see what happens.

P.S. I'm keeping it turned off, until i absolutely need it. I've got a router at home, so it's all good.
