Foxfi Over WiFi Killed By Latest Verizon Update

[R01k]

I got my OTA update to Lollipop (5.0.2) a few days ago and now Foxfi displays this when trying to enable WiFi tethering: "WiFi mode is no longer allowed in the latest phone system update without a mobile hotspot plan. Please use USB mode or Bluetooth mode instead using our software."

Not surprising. In the past, updates have killed foxfi mhs before on other phones . Many times foxfi finds a loophole. It is really a cat and mouse game. With that said, Verizon is the only Carrier that I know of that offers unlimited unthrottled 4GLTE hotspot officially, so I am not really complaining.

Same here. I thought after the FCC ruling, Verizon wasn't allowed to deny access to apps. Big surprise that they really aren't held accountable

Did you try it with turning on the mobile hotspot after turned foxfi on?

Thanks!
